3 UNEXPECTED THINGS THAT ARE DAMAGING YOUR HAIR

By

On 12th March 2018

In Hair Technique and Design

We all know that the usual things that affect our hair like heat styling and colouring, but there are other things affecting our hair that you’d not even expecting.

 

About 2 months ago, I was sitting in the chair at my hairdresser about to get my hair cut. I mentioned I was worried about the damage at the ends of my hair. I’ve been trying hard to grow my hair long again and I thought I was doing all the right things. I couldn’t figure out why I had so much damage at the ends of my hair.

 

Then my hairdresser asked me an unusual question, “Which side do you wear your handbag?”

 

It’s a common a problem that she sees all the time but it never occurred to me. I was always catching my hair under my hair bag strap and the pulling and tearing was causing breakage. Since then, I take care to try and move my hair out of the way. I also switch up which shoulder I’m carrying my bag on so at least the damage is equal.

 

  1. YOUR HANDBAG

So of course the first thing on my list that is unexpectedly damaging your hair is your handbag.

 

If your hair is past shoulder length, you’ll know the pain of getting your hair caught under your handbag strap. Take care when using your bag and make sure that it’s not pulling at your hair.

 

  1. YOUR HANDS

The second thing that’s unexpectedly damaging your hair is your hands.

 

If you’re a chronic hair twirler, like me, you’ll find that you’re doing it unconsciously. All that twirling of hair stretches it and causes more breakage. Plus just think about all the dirt from your hands going on to your hair. This means you have to wash it more often as well.

 

And it may not even be your hands doing the damage. I was chatting to a girlfriend last week who said that her baby is now pulling at her hair all the time and she’s now always having to wear her hair up.

It’s hard to keep little ones hands away, but try and keep your hands out of your hair to prevent any damage.

 

Hair Romance – 3 Unexpected Things That Are Damaging Your Hair

 

  1. YOUR PONYTAIL

The third thing causing unexpected damage to your hair is your ponytail.

 

A ponytail is an easy go-to hairstyle but wearing your hair in same tight upstyle everyday is causing damage. If your ponytail is very tight, it puts pressure on the roots of your hair and can cause hair loss known as traction alopecia. Luckily this hair loss is not permanent but it can be pretty obvious and difficult to deal with.

 

As well as hair loss, there’s also damage caused around your hair elastic. Wearing your hair in the same style every day puts pressure on that hair and you’ll end up with breakage around your hair elastic.

 

The solution to this is pretty simple – just switch up your hairstyle and move that ponytail up or down to even out the pressure on your hair.

8 Best Diet Tips for Hair Loss Prevention ( Part I I)

By

On 10th May 2017

In Hair Technique and Design

If you want to see  Part I, please click here.

#5: Step up Your Silica Intake

In 1939, the Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, Professor Adolf Butenandt, proved that life cannot exist without silica (also known as silicon dioxide). In humans, silica is essential to the development of the skeleton. It is also an important component of hair, and an adequate intake of silica is thought to prevent baldness and stimulate hair growth. Silica is present in substantial amounts in a wide range of foods, including strawberries, green and red peppers, millet, barley, wheat, cucumbers, oats, rice, bean sprouts, potatoes, and asparagus. Processing of foods as well as chemical treatment of the soil can significantly decrease the silica content of foods. Therefore, in order to ensure an optimal intake of silica, it is advisable to opt for organically grown and unprocessed foods.

#6: Be Sure to Eat Enough Foods Containing Copper and Zinc

Although our bodies require only a small amount of copper, it is crucial for the proper functioning of the body, including healthy hair growth. Sufficient levels of copper can prevent hair loss and contribute to hair thickness. Copper is also thought to intensify hair color and prevent premature graying of hair. Another trace mineral that is important to hair health is zinc, which plays an important role in the production of new cells (including hair cells). Zinc and copper should be consumed together as the balance between the two is crucial: too much zinc interferes with copper absorption, and higher amounts of copper can be toxic. Black sesame seeds, which are used as a remedy for hair loss in Asia, are an excellent source of both copper and zinc.

#7: Include Foods Rich in Sulphur in Your Diet

Sulphur is a mineral that is found in all cells of the human body and that is particularly abundant in our hair, skin, and nails. Sulfur is often referred to as “nature’s beauty mineral” because of its capability to aid in good blood circulation, reduce skin inflammation, and promote hair growth. It also plays a role in the metabolism of several important B-vitamins including B1, B5 and B7. First signs of a sulphur deficiency often include loss of hair, brittle hair and nails, and dry skin. Although present in the human body, sulphur can only be obtained through diet. Sulphur is found in all protein rich foods, meats, fish, eggs, milk and legumes being particularly rich sources of this mineral. Garlic, cabbage, onions, turnips, kale, lettuce, brussels sprouts, kelp, seaweed and some nuts also contain sulphur.

#8:  Ensure a Sufficient Iron Intake

Iron carries oxygen to the hair, and an inadequate intake of iron may cause the hair follicles to starve of oxygen. In fact, depleted iron stores appear to be one of the most common causes of hair loss in pre-menopausal women. Interestingly, iron deficiency is also the most common form of nutritional deficiency. Women who are menstruating (especially if they have heavy periods), women who are pregnant or have just given birth, long-distance runners, and vegans have a particularly high risk of being deficient in iron. To prevent or correct this deficiency, consume iron-rich foods such as dried fruits, egg yolks, liver, lean red meat, oysters, poultry, salmon, tuna and whole grains.

How to Treat Women Hair Loss

By

On 29th June 2016

In Hair Technique and Design

Hair loss in women at any age and for any reason is discouraging, frustrating, and sometimes even devastating. The most common type of hair loss in women is called female pattern hair loss, or FPHL. Many factors are to blame for hair loss including medical conditions, genetics, some medications, harsh scalp or hair treatments, and hormonal changes. Methods to treat this condition in women are effective in some cases, but in others medical and surgical interventions may be needed to restore hair growth.

Determining the Cause of Your Hair Loss

图片1

1See your doctor to rule out a medical condition. Several medical conditions can either temporarily or permanently interfere with normal hair growth and development. Some of these medical conditions include the following:[1]

  • Iron deficiency anemia.[2]
  • Thyroid conditions.[3]
  • Deficiencies in zinc, vitamin D, and possibly the B vitamin group.[4]
  • Hormonal level alterations of androgen, testosterone, and estrogen-derived hormones.[5]

图片2

2Treat the medical condition. Medical conditions can lead to either temporary or permanent problems with hair loss.

  • With the help of your doctor, and possibly healthcare professionals that practice in specialty areas, treating the underlying medical condition may resolve your hair loss problem.
  • Your doctor will need as much information as possible about your hair loss problem, so be prepared to discuss this issue in depth. Be prepared to describe when it began, any significant life events that occurred just prior to the problem, steps you have taken to resolve it, and how much distress the hair loss is causing you.
  • If an underlying medical condition is discovered, specialists that may be part of your treatment may include endocrinologists, dermatologists, nutritionists, and psychiatrists.

图片3

3 Understand how your hair grows. Many of the medical conditions listed interfere with one of the three phases of hair growth.

  • The anagen phase is the period when your hair is actively growing. About 85% of your hair is in the anagen, or growing phase, at any given time.
  • The catagen phase is a short period of time, about two weeks in durations, that allows the follicle to regenerate. Hair growth is halted during the catagen phase.
  • The telogen phase is considered the resting phase of hair growth, and lasts for two to four months. At the end of this phase the hair falls out. Most people normally lose about 100 hairs each day due to the hair that is in the telogen phase.

图片4

4 Realize that telogen effluvium is often temporary. Many medical conditions that cause hair to move into the telogen phase can be treated.

  • Since your hair remains in the telogen phase for several months, your hair loss may not occur immediately after the event that triggered it. This would include physical trauma and severe emotional stressors.

图片5

5 Review your medications with your doctor. Many medications can cause temporary hair loss.

  • Do not alter your medications for any reason. Talk with your doctor about your concerns. If you feel a medication is causing your hair loss, your doctor may be able to help by either adjusting the dose or prescribing a similar medication to take its place.
  • Some medications that are known to contribute to hair loss include lithium, warfarin, heparin, and levodopa.
  • Drugs that are classed as beta-blockers can also cause hair loss. Examples of medications in this class include propranolol, atenolol, and metoprolol.

Stylists agree that it is the retro trend for short haircuts this summer will be at the peak of popularity. Which do you choose: Bob bob, asymmetrical bob or Bob oblique fringe – it is a matter of taste and what is right for your style and shape of the face.

How To Blend Clip-In Luxy Hair Extensions With Thin Hair

By

On 16th June 2016

In Goodyard Wigs, Hair Extensions, Hair Technique and Design

If you have fine hair and are looking for some guidance on how to wear your Luxy clip-in hair extensions, you’ve come to the right place.

Sometimes, it can be a little tricky to fully hide the clips of your hair extensions. The steps we share with you in this post, however, will help you blend your extensions naturally and seamlessly!

*Important: If you are experiencing excessive hair loss or medical hair loss conditions, we strongly advise to consult with your doctor first, to discuss if wearing clip-in hair extensions is right for you. 

Tip #1: Make a solid base for the wefts

In order for the weft to have something to hold on to without sliding, it is important to create a firm and thick base to which you will clip the weft. This will help secure it in place and prevent tugging on your hair. You can create this base by teasing the roots of the section to which the weft will be clipped on. 

图片1

Tip #2: Find the safe zone

A very important step when clipping in your extensions is figuring out what your “safe zone” is. This is the area on your head where the clips will not be seen. Usually, for fine hair, the safe zone is anywhere below the line of your eyebrows. Draw an imaginary circle around your head from one eyebrow to another; anywhere below that circle is where your wefts are going to be clipped in.

图片2

Tip #3: Position your wefts

We all have different hair types, head sizes, shapes, etc. Therefore, although there is a general sequence in which extensions should be clipped (can be found here), there is no one right way to do it. Play around with the wefts and find what positioning works best for you. Fine-haired ladies especially need to pay attention to the top of the head, to make sure that the wefts aren’t peeking through (remember the safe zone!). Read the next tip for some positioning suggestions.

Tip #4: Choose your wefts

Sometimes, you won’t need to use all the wefts, and that’s absolutely okay. If you’re struggling to find space on your head for all the wefts, there is a good chance that you don’t need to use all of them. Figure out which sequence works with what wefts, and only use those. Here are some ideas you can try:

图片3

Tip #5: Tease your Crown

Once your extensions are clipped in, you will notice the difference right away in how much longer and thicker your hair feels (great feeling, right??). Naturally, it may be noticeable that you have more hair at the bottom than at the top of your head. To make it look more natural, it’s a great idea to tease your hair at the crown to add some volume to match the rest of your hair. This will give an overall harmonious, voluminous look.

图片4

Tip #6: Choose the Right Extensions

If you have fine hair, we recommend going with the 120g Luxy Hair extensions, as they are specifically designed for thinner hair. This set will blend in beautifully with your fine hair, give length and volume, while maintaining a very natural looking effect.

Tip #7: Layer Them

Especially if your natural hair is layered, adding layers to your Luxy Hair extensions by a professional hairstylist can make all the difference! If you decide to get them cut, we recommend having them already clipped into your hair during the haircut. It will also be very helpful for you to come up with a numbering system for the wefts, so that you know exactly where each weft is supposed to be clipped in for the future uses.

图片5

Tip #8: Style Your Extensions

Although Luxies look amazing with straight hair, wavy or curled styles look a lot more natural. Wrap your natural hair and the extensions together around a curling iron to make sure they flow into one another. Learn how to do that here, here, or here.

 

Give these tips a try, as they will help you blend your Luxies in with your fine hair, to achieve a seamless and natural look. If you have any tips or tricks on how to wear extensions with fine hair, please share with us below. We love sharing with you and learning from you.

Super-Sexy Summer Hairstyles You Need to Try

If you ask us, there’s no better season than summer to freshen up your look—and a sexy new hairstyle is the perfect way to start. Need inspiration? Look no further than the red carpet.

Thanks to some helpful hints from Jessica Alba’s hairstylist, we now know our blowouts can remain flawless in peak humidity. Want to look chic without the fuss? Learn how simple it is to recreate Lea Michele’sflirty braid or Rihanna’s carefree curls, with advice from their pros.

 RIHANNA’S SIDE-PARTED CURLS

QQ截图20160408153100

Rihanna’s carefree ringlets, which appear to have been effortlessly tossed to one side, are just as easy to recreate as the low-key vibe they give off. Her hairstylist Ursula Stephen began by misting a sea salt spray over her strands to bring out her natural texture—if your hair is already curly, we recommend an oil-infused version like Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Infusion  as traditional salt sprays can be drying. Stephen followed by pulling back one side, then anchored it underneath with a few bobby pins. As a finishing touch, a veil of Motions Light Hold Working Spritz for locations) added a humidity-proof barrier.

VICTORIA BECKHAM’S WINDSWEPT UPDO

QQ截图20160408153114

Is your already-straightened hair in need of some extra oomph? Follow in the lead of Victoria Beckham, who opted for an easy chignon that was anything but over-coiffed. On her dry strands, the star’s hairstylist Ken Paves applied a mist of the You Are Beautiful Volumizing Spray for extra lift, then smoothed over her layers with a round brush and dryer. After finishing a section, he would wrap each layer around a velcro roller to set, then went over her head with a layer of the You Are Beautiful Flexible Hold Hairspray which locked in the shape. Once her hair had set, Paves unwound the rollers, then pinned her layers into a bun shape on the crown, allowing a few wispy strands to fall around the face.

 NATHALIE EMMANUEL’S VOLUMINOUS RINGLETS

QQ截图20160408153128

When you have stunning natural curls like Nathalie Emmanuel’s, not much is required to bring out the already-gorgeous texture. Her hairstylist Neeko concentrated a small amount of R+Co’s Jackpot Styling Creme  around the base, then used wrap lotion on her ends for extra definition. Over areas that needed a little extra love, he used a small 1/4 inch curling iron to impart a structured shape. After a blast of R+Co’s Death Valley Dry Shampoo  at the roots, and an all-over mist of the Outer Space Hairspray , she was ready to hit the red carpet!

BEYONCE’S HIGH PONYTAIL

QQ截图20160408153140

Though Beyonce’s I Dream of Jeannie-esque updo, which she wore to the Met Gala, may be a little avant-garde for everyday wear, a sleek, high pony in the spirit of Queen Bey’s is an easy way to give an otherwise basic ensemble some high fashion flair. To determine placement, follow the natural line of your cheekbone as you gather your hair at your crown, or aim a little higher if you’re unsure. Anchor into place with a hair elastic, then pull out a small section to wrap around the base of the style, tucking the ends into the ponytail holder.

 JOAN SMALLS’ BRAIDED HALF-UPDO

QQ截图20160408153152

We’ve all had one of those rushed moments where we’re forced to leave the house with wet hair, but with a half-up style like Joan Smalls’, you can simply pin it back and let the summer air do the rest. On damp hair, create a precise center part, and run a styling mousse like John Freida’s Air Dry Waves Styling Foam  through your lengths. Then, grab two small sections on either side of the head, just above the ear, and begin twisting each into a plait. Pin both braids at the back of your head with bobby pins positioned into an X-shape to finish, and let the arid temps outside act as a natural blow-dryer.

HOW TO APPLY RHINESTONE AND GLITTER FALSE EYELASHES

By

On 9th March 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News, Hair Technique and Design

 

Everybody knows that false eyelashes aren’t the easiest things to learn to apply. Slap some rhinestones or a bunch of glitter on those babies and you’ve got a much bigger problem on your hands. As gorgeous as they may be, putting rhinestone lashes or glitter lashes on can be a daunting task – especially if you’re not used to wearing lashes or trying to help a young dancer put them on right before a performance。

QQ截图20160309100942

So here are 4 helpful tips to help you make your dazzling rhinestone or glitter eyelashes feel so comfortable, you’ll hardly know you’re wearing them while you dance the night away!

QQ截图20160309100954

 

 

  1. Measure & Trim the Ends

The first thing you always want to do before applying any false lash (rhinestone or not) is to make sure they fit your eye! Before putting glue on, lay the false eyelashes along your lash line, making sure not to position it too close to the inner corner. If the outer corner is extending past your eye, trim it off, remembering to always trim from the outer corner.

QQ截图20160309101005

IMPORTANT: always round out the cut ends. Otherwise, you’ll be left with a very sharp corner that will stab you every time you blink. Ouch!

QQ截图20160309101017

Tip: peel off a stone (I know, I know, such a waste) to make rounding off the edges easier to do.

 

 

  1. Curl your lashes from the lash band
    If you want to curl your false lashes, do it BEFORE applying them, andcurl from back (the band)instead of approaching from the front (tips) as you normally would. You’ll find it a lot easier and quicker to do this vs. the traditional way.

QQ截图20160309101028

3. Wear a base lash
We always recommend wearing a base lash (any dense, regular strip lash) with rhinestone or glitter lashes. These act as a shelf toprevent your rhinestone lashes from drooping, and the extra volumemakes your eyes look more open.

QQ截图20160309101038

  1. Apply lashes close to or on your crease – NOT the lash line.
    Rhinestone lashes and glitter lashes have a much thicker lash band than human hair lashes due to all the embellishments on them. That means you need to use leverage and science (hooray!) to make your lashes work for you.

QQ截图20160309101048

Instead of applying lashes on your lash line, place them closer to your crease and away from the base lash you have on. This helps to take significant weight off your lids and makes your eyes look much more open.

QQ截图20160309101057

I’ll be the first to tell you that applying lashes on your crease is NOT easy. It takes a tons of practice, but OH, is it worth it. You won’t believe how much lighter they’ll feel.
Tip: use clear glue (since it hides mistakes better) and try your best not to blink while the glue sets.

How To Wear Hair Extensions

By

On 27th January 2016

In Goodyard News, Hair Extensions, Hair Technique and Design

If  you ever wonder how celebrities can go from an on-trend pixie crop to flowing Rapunzel locks within one sleep, it has something to do with clip-in extensions, wigs and hair pieces… Yep, it’s not genes, it’s a salon-bought accessory that you can get your hands on too. From Beyonce to Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez to Jessie J and Rita Ora to Rihanna, see how Hollywood rock the trend below, but first, get the down-low on adding fullness to your mane. This 101 will tell you what you need to look for when purchasing them, how you put them in for a natural look and how you can maintain them so that they last as long as possible.

QQ截图20160127112643

HOW TO SELECT

When purchasing hair extensions you want to get as close to your natural colour as possible and the best quality of hair you can.

When selecting the color, make sure you go shopping or to the salon during the day. Comparing hair color in the natural light is the only way to ensure you get the best possible match.

Ideally, always select real human hair extensions as they will last a lot longer and look a lot more natural. Sian Quinn, an Art Team stylist at Headmasters, says “the quality in human hair is much better and makes styling really easy”. However, this type of extension is pricier and, actually, there are a lot of false extensions available now that look pretty damn close to the real thing, so don’t fret if money doesn’t allow it.

Take your new extensions to your hairdresser and ask them to trim your hair with them in. That way, they’ll sit better against your head. If you color your hair and have selected real hair, your stylist will be able to color the extensions too; sadly synthetic doesn’t take to dye.

QQ截图20160127112654

HOW TO WEAR

Once you’ve colour matched your extensions and had them trimmed to work with your style, take them out, wash them like you would natural hair (making sure you’ve checked which shampoos you can and can’t use on the hair or synthetic), and leave them out to dry, flat.

QQ截图20160127112706

Next, section your hair into layers. Extensions are always clipped in to the bottom layer first, working up. Take these steps for each section:

  • Take a brush and gently backcomb the root sections of hair that you’ll clip the extensions into, finishing with a light misting of hairspray. By texurising the hair, you’re giving the extensions more to clip on to.
  • Next, clip in the extension in at a slightly uneven, slanted angle. If you clip them in totally straight, they won’t blend into the hair as naturally.
  • Once clipped in, brush your hair so that the extensions fall into your natural layers. Take a straightner and straighten the layer (check if stylers are compatible with your extensions), again, for blending purposes.

Once you’ve done each section of the hair, brush the full head and then either leave it straight or style as you naturally would using a tong or product (if you use synthetic hair, make sure they are heat-friendly). Comb your fingers through your hair and add some texturising product to the top roots for added volume.

HOW TO CARE

It’s not difficult to keep your hair extensions in good tack, but it does take care and maintenance. Here are the golden rules:

  • Always brush your extensions with a soft bristle brush and never brush them if they’re wet.
  • Wash your extensions no more than three times a week. You want to keep them clean so oil doesn’t make them slip but you don’t want to overload them with product.
  • Always use a sulfate free shampoo. Sulfate strips hair of natural oils, as there is no direct supply of nutrients from your scalp into the extension strands, it’s vital that you avoid drying the hair out.
  • Adding 2-3 drops of dry oil, such as coconut or almond, once a week will help to boost the shine of your extensions.

HOLIDAY INSPIRED EYELASH EXTENSIONS

By

On 8th January 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News, Hair Fashions, Hair Technique and Design

The Holiday’s are in full swing and we’re having blast thinking up all different kinds of holiday inspired lashes.

One of the best part of lashes is that they’re customizable. If you want to go and get a full set of red and green lashes, you totally can! If you want a more subtle sparkle for a New Years Eve party,

Heres some of our favorite looks and tips on how to recreate them.

Winter

Winter hues can last past the holly jolly season. Light and sparkly blues, give your eyes a nice ice bitten look.

QQ截图20160108164014

How to get this look: Apply thin (.15) blue colored lashes to each natural lash to achieve a full look. Once lashes have cured, apply blue shadow with a thick shadow stick, like this one here.  It’s very important to wait until the adhesive cures (about 24 hours) to apply the shadow because when you wash off your makeup, you don’t want to effect your lash retention.

QQ截图20160108164026

How to get this look: This look is a little darker and has more sparkle than the one above. To achieve this look, apply dark blue lashes to each individual natural lash. The thickness and diameter can be determine by client’s preference.

The added sparkle can be achieved by placing glitter lashes on the outer corners. We’d recommend using silver and blue glitter lashes, which can be found here.

Christmas:

QQ截图20160108164036

How to get this look: This is a very subtle Christmas flair to a natural set of lashes. To achieve this look, apply volume lashes. Leave a few lashes on the outer corners unlashed. When you have finished applying all of the normal volume lashes, apply red lashes to the outer corner. If you wish, you can apply green, glittered or silver lashes to this look!

How to Take Care of Synthetic Hair Extensions

By

On 24th December 2015

In Goodyard News, Hair Extensions, Hair Technique and Design

Synthetic hair has made lots of technological advancements in recent years. In many cases, the texture and look of the hair feels and looks just like human hair. It also can be worn straight out of the box, unlike human hair, which usually needs styling first. Wave and curl patterns in synthetic hair have a “memory” wave, which allows the curls to bounce back without much effort, and it won’t frizz or droop in humid weather. However, because synthetic hair has different properties from human hair, you have to care for the hair differently in order to make it last as long as possible.

Part 1 of 4: Washing Your Synthetic Hair Extensions

QQ截图20151224170128

1.1Purchase a mild shampoo. The shampoo should be a shampoo specifically formulated for synthetic hair. A shampoo for synthetic wigs works fine on synthetic extensions as well. However, if you cannot find a shampoo for synthetic hair, then a mild shampoo works fine too.

  • Not all shampoos are labeled mild or strong, so look for a shampoo without “sulfates,” which is a strong cleansing agent. Shampoos without sulfates are much gentler on the hair, and they’re usually labeled as “sulfate-free” on the front of the bottle.
  • You should be able to buy shampoos for synthetic wigs and extensions at a beauty supply store or wig store.

1.2

Comb out tangles with a wide tooth comb gently. A wide tooth comb won’t snag the hair like a comb with smaller teeth does. Work from the ends of the hair to the roots as you gently comb the tangles out. In other words, work from the bottom up.

  • To make the combing process easier, wet the hair by spritzing it with a spray bottle filled with water or detangling spray. Then, comb the hair.
  • If the hair has a really tight curl pattern, use your fingers to comb the hair. Your fingers are much gentler, won’t snag the hair and won’t disrupt the curl pattern like a comb does.
  • If you are wearing a wig or clip-in extensions, you might find it easier to take them off and then comb them.

1.3

Fill up a sink basin with water. The water should be cool to lukewarm — not hot. Make sure that the water is not too hot or it might change the curl or wave pattern of the hair. Fill up the sink to a level high enough to immerse all of the hair in the water.

  • If you’re extensions are not clip-in, or id you don’t want to remove them to wash them skip to step 4, which states to wet your hair and apply shampoo as you normally would.

QQ截图20151224170218

1.4

Mix a capful of shampoo formulated for synthetic hair into the water. If you are washing a lot of hair, then mix two capfuls of shampoo into the water. Use your best judgment to decide if you need one or two capfuls. You don’t want to use too much shampoo because you don’t want to the cleanser to strip the hair of any coatings that give it a sheen or change the look and feel of the hair.

  • Using too much shampoo or a harsh shampoo can make the hair look dull.
  • Once again, if you want to wear your extensions while you wash your hair, wet your hair as you normally would. Then, apply about a capful of shampoo directly to the hair and distribute it through the hair.

QQ截图20151224170231

1.5

Immerse your wig or hair extensions in the water. The hair should be fully submerged. Make sure it absorbs the water. Push it down under the water if necessary. If the hair is not wet enough, then the shampoo won’t be able to cleanse the hair.

  • If you’re wearing your extensions, skip to step 6 and massage the shampoo in.

QQ截图20151224170244

1.6

Swish the hair around in the water by moving it from side to side. This is a method of agitating the hair without rubbing or scrubbing. Then, dunk the hair up and down. Go back and forth between swishing and dunking the hair until you think it is clean.

  • If you are wearing your extensions, gently massage the shampoo in, but do not rub. You don’t want to tangle the hair. Massage the shampoo in all around the hair for a few minutes until you feel it is clean.

Part 2 of 4: Conditioning the Hair

QQ截图20151224170258

2.1

Purchase a detangling conditioner. You want to prevent the hair from detangling at all costs. If the hair gets tangled, then you will have to painstakingly detangle it without messing up the texture, curl or wave pattern of the hair. Since the hair is not natural, moisturizing conditioner won’t be as effective as it is on human hair because the synthetic hair can’t absorb it.

  • Conditioners are usually labeled by type. So, they will say moisturizing, volumizing, or detangling on the front of the bottle.
  • If you are still having trouble finding a detangling shampoo, check the children’s section. Several companies make shampoos and detangling conditioners for children.
  • If you want to add some sheen back to the hair, purchase a conditioner with some natural oils such as avocado or jojoba oil.

QQ截图20151224170310

2.2

Refill the sink basin with water. Use cool water. Cool water is the best temperature to use for synthetic hair. Fill it up to a level high enough to cover all of your hair once you put it in the sink.

  • If you’re wearing your extensions, your hair should still be wet after rinsing out the shampoo.

QQ截图20151224170321

2.3

Add a capful of conditioner to the water. Again, if you are washing and conditioning a lot of hair, use your best judgement. Add two capfuls of conditioner. You don’t want to add too much though. Too much conditioner can weigh the hair down.

  • If you are wearing your extensions as you condition them, add one or two capfuls directly to your hair and distribute evenly.

QQ截图20151224170334

2.4

Swish the hair back and forth in the water. Agitate the hair by gently moving it back and forth in the water, just as you did before. You want just a bit of the conditioner to grab hold of the hair and condition it. Too much will weigh the hair down and make it look greasy since synthetic hair can’t absorb the conditioner the way human hair can. Keep swishing the hair around for a few minutes until you think the hair is conditioned.

  • If you’re wearing the extensions, continue to distribute the product the product through the hair by raking it through with your fingers.

QQ截图20151224170346

5.

Let the conditioner sit in the hair. Do not rinse it out.The conditioner should remain in the hair even if it is not a leave-in. If you prefer, use a leave-in conditioner on the hair instead. Use a water-based leave-in that typically comes in a spritz-style spray bottle.

  • You also can let the hair sit in the conditioner water for 10 to 15 minutes if you’re washing the extensions in the sink.
  • If you are conditioning with the synthetic extensions while you’re wearing them, simply spray in a leave-in. Leave the conditioner in the hair.
  • If you think that you have added a bit too much conditioner to the hair, spritz the hair with water from a spray bottle to gently rinse out some of it.

Part 3 of 4: Drying

QQ截图20151224170401

3.1

Squeeze the excess water out of the hair. Simply place the hair in the palm of your hand. Then, close your hand as if you’re making a fist to squeeze out the excess water. Work from the ends of the hair to the top while gently squeezing. Don’t rub the hair against a towel, and don’t ring the hair the way you would ring out a towel.

  • This applies whether you are wearing the extensions as you wash them or not.

QQ截图20151224170413

3.2

Place the hair extensions on a towel. Place each extension on a towel with space between each track so that the pieces don’t overlap. They will take longer to dry if you pile them on top of each other. Don’t disturb the hair by brushing or combing it while it is wet

  • If you’re drying a wig, place it on a wig stand to dry.
  • If you are wearing the extensions, blot the hair with a towel. Use a microfiber towel for the best results. It dries the hair without ruffling the strands of hair.

QQ截图20151224170425

3.3

Air dry the hair. Don’t use a blowdryer. Blow drying the hair can permanently change the curl or wave pattern of the hair. In other words, it can damage the hair. Some synthetic hair has been specially formulated to work with hot tools, but most have not. It should say if you can use hot tools on your synthetic hair on the package . Even then, check the label to see if you can blow dry the hair.

  • For best results, allow the hair to air dry even if you can use hot tools on the hair.
  • This applies to clip-in and non-clip-in extensions.

Part 4 of 4: Styling

 

QQ截图201512241704444.1

Comb with a wide-toothed comb. Using a wide-toothed comb ensures that you’ll have far fewer snags when you’re combing the hair since the teeth are wider. If the curl pattern is especially tightly curled, use your fingers to finger comb the hair. In this case, your fingers are your best tool.

  • Don’t brush curly or wavy synthetic hair with bristled brushes such as boar bristle brushes. These kinds of brushes can mess up the pattern and texture of the hair.

QQ截图20151224171858

4.2

Spritz the hair with water to comb it. If the hair is curly, wavy or textured, this will be especially helpful. Water helps add slip so that you can move the comb through the hair easily. If you need more slip, add a little bit of leave-in conditioner to the water in the spray bottle. You also can purchase wig spray to comb the hair.

  • Lots of synthetic hair is tightly curled textured hair because synthetic hair can recreate the texture and curls of specific types of hair that is difficult to recreate with straight human hair — the original state of most extensions. Synthetic hair creates texture and holds the curl and waves better than human hair does. So, if you’re using curly and wavy synthetic hair and you want it to last longer, spritz the hair with water and comb through with your fingers.

QQ截图20151224170509

4.3

Set hot tools to a cool setting. If you have synthetic hair that you can use hot tools on, make sure you use a cool setting on the flat iron or curling iron. Otherwise, you might melt the hair. Also, styling changes that you make with hot tools can set the hair permanently. So, be careful when you’re using flat irons and curling irons.

  • You also can curl straight synthetic hair with hot water. Set the hair on rollers, or whatever you’re using as a curling rod. Then, dip the hair in very hot water, or spray hot water on the hair if you’re wearing them. Place the hair on a towel to dry or let it air dry, and then remove the curling rods once it’s dry. Only do this if you really want to change the style of the hair. It’s not recommended to curl it and then try to straighten it. Synthetic hair can’t undergo frequent style changes so easily without damaging the hair.
  • If your synthetic hair does not say that you can use hot tools on it, then don’t. You might ruin or melt the hair.

QQ截图20151224170522

4.4

Trim frizzy ends. Uneven, tangled and knotted ends can make your extensions look damaged and unkempt. Trim off the ends when they start to look bad. It will instantly revive the look of the hair and make it look better.

QQ截图20151224170534

4.5

Rub some oil onto your extensions and comb it through. When your extensions start to look dry or without sheen, rub a light weight oil such as jojoba oil through the hair. Leave it for an hour, and then wipe off excess oil by blotting with a towel.. If necessary, wash out the excess with a dollop of mild shampoo and rinse.

QQ截图20151224170545

4.6

Remove the hair extensions before they look ratty. Hair extensions tend to move up the hair shaft at around the six week point, making them become loose or uneven. After a while, even if you take good care of them, eventually they will have to be removed. They don’t last forever. So, plan a return trip to the hairdresser to get some replacements reinstalled.

 

Tips

  • If your extensions, don’t brush them and comb them gently. Otherwise, they will get frizzy.
  • If your synthetic hair is monofiber or thermofiber, you can use heated styling products, such as flat irons, curling tongs or hairdryers on a cool setting. The specific temperature that the synthetic hair can withstand should be stated on the packaging. If you exceed this level of heating, the hair will melt.

 

Warnings

  • Daily care of hair extensions can be time consuming; set aside at least a half an hour a day to tend to them.
  • If you do not brush your extensions gently, you could break some of the fibers, cause tangling or frizzing.
  • Do not use hot tools or a blowdryer on 100% synthetic extensions

5 WASH DAY MISTAKES THAT MAKE YOUR HAIR DRY

By

On 16th December 2015

In Goodyard News, Hair Technique and Design

It can take months and years to build the perfect regimen. Until then, it is important to make an intentional effort to pay attention to your hair’s needs over time, especially on wash day. Oftentimes wash day is dreaded, especially if you live an active lifestyle. The focus of wash day should be cleansing and replenishing the hair and scalp, in which both steps can be thwarted if done improperly. Want to know why your hair is dry only hours after washing it? Here’s why.

  1. Rubbing your hair

Shampoo commercials and sensual movie scenes make disheveling your hair with shampoo and piling it atop your crown appealing, but it is actually detrimental to your strands. Tousling your hair not only induces tangles but also further lifts the hair’s cuticle. Shampoo expands the cuticle in order for it to effectively cleanse, so you want to stroke the hair downward to encourage the cuticle to lay flat. When scrubbing your scalp the hold the ends of the hair taut with one hand and massage the scalp with the other hand. Remember to be gentle, as hair is too elastic and prone to break when wet.

QQ截图20151216191153

  1. Co-washing after clarifying

Clarifying is a necessary and co-washing is optional. Clarifying is meant to thoroughly remove all product buildup, excess sebum, and debris from the outdoor elements. Co-washing is meant to refresh the hair with moisture while gently removing some buildup. Both are cleansing methods and should not be done subsequently. If you choose to clarify, then deep conditioning afterwards is important. If you want to co-wash, you do not have to follow up with a deep condition but you certainly can.

  1. Deep conditioning before cleansing

Deep conditioners are to be used after cleansing, not before. Shampoos usually have a pH balance of 8, which is slightly alkaline, enabling the hair shaft to swell and raise the cuticle layers for thorough cleansing. Deep conditioners have a pH balance between 3.5-6 to close the cuticle and seal in moisture. Both have surfactants that function differently. Cleansers attract dirt and oil while conditioner leave a film containing moisturizing properties on the strands. If your cleanser is so harsh that your deep conditioner cannot restore the moisture, then change your cleanser, deep conditioner, or both.

QQ截图20151216191529

  1. Not applying a leave-in conditioner or moisturizer

It is essential to apply a leave-in co  nditioner or moisturizer after washing your hair. Although conditioners leave a film on the cuticle, it is not sufficient to maintain moisture. It is important to apply a moisturizer or leave-in conditioner while the hair is damp or wet to trap moisture in the strands. Moisture comes from water, so it is important that there is a trace of water on the hair before applying a moisturizer. Going directly from rinsing off a deep conditioner to applying a styler will certainly leave your hair dry, especially if the styler is not formulated as a 2-in-1 product.

  1. Not sealing

This may not be applicable to everyone, but there have been many testimonies and scientific backing for sealing your hair with an oil or butter after applying a moisturizer. This method is commonly known as the LOC method and it creates an extra barrier will also help to reduce moisture depletion after wash day.

VITAL PROS AND CONS OF FUSION HAIR EXTENSIONS

While the factual data may indicate something, there are personal preferences that come in the way of how you would experience the extensions or the method. Also, there are many factors that contribute to the determining of whether the fusion hair extensions will be ideal for a person.

Pros of Fusion Hair Extensions

No one can debate or dispute the popularity of fusion hair extensions.

That is why it is important that your technician explains to you what you should and shouldn’t be doing.

IMG_2309

Fusion hair extensions are completely safe. They don’t have any adverse impact on your scalp or your natural hair. There are two methods of application, the hot method and the cold fusion method. The hot method of application is the older and more conventional one. It uses glue or wax and the hair extensions are fused to the scalp or to the base of the natural hair using a fusion tool. The fusion tool is hot which is why the method is known as hot fusion. Cold fusion method is new and it uses sonic technology to fuse or seal the extensions at the base of your natural hair or on the scalp. Some people like the hot method and some people have hair that would qualify for the cold method. If you have fine hair or very silky hair then you would be better off with the cold method. The availability of two methods is certainly an advantage.

The choice is yours and obviously depending on the type of hair you have. The advice of the stylist or technician should be given the paramount significance in this regard.

Cons of Fusion Hair Extensions

Fusion hair extensions are expensive. Depending on the quantity you need and where you get the installation done, you are looking at a thousand bucks of investment, if not more. You cannot do it yourself because you may end up damaging your natural hair and scalp. You would always need the expertise of a technician to get the extensions sealed and when you have to get them removed. This compels you to spend more money every time you need to attend to the extensions. micro ring

Fusion hair extensions take a long time to be applied. You are looking at three hours at the least and possibly more than four hours if the quantity of hair strands or wefts is substantial. This makes fusion hair extensions unviable if you need a quick fix. If you don’t have the time, then you would have to opt for some other forms of hair extensions.

Some stylists use glue guns to apply the fusion extensions. That doesn’t offer a pleasant experience. Not only is it time consuming but the whole process is pretty messy.

IMG_6528

Some types of glues or adhesives may not be healthy for the hair or the scalp and there could be some considerable damage.

Nano ringFusion hair extensions may get damaged if you use a dryer regularly and at higher settings. You cannot use many types of oil based solutions. You may have to choose certain specific hair care products to ensure that the extensions don’t get damaged.

IMG_0363_副本

Fusion hair extensions don’t always last for six months. That is actually a rarity. In most cases, a few weeks are what one should expect. That puts to question the return on investment. Many factors influence how long the extensions would last, from the natural growth of your hair to tangling of the extensions.
