Respect doesn't come from the kind of work you do, it comes from the way you do the work.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

4.1

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Hair Color Trends for 2015 Have Changed the Way We Think About “Pops” of Color

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 16th December 2015

In Hair Fashions

If your mantra is “new year, new hair color”, you are probably busy searching for new ideas or forecasts for the hottest hair color trends for 2015. Well, you’re in the right place, as we are compiling those new trends for you here. On one hand, there are no major changes when it comes to hair color trends – however, there is a notable shift in the focus of color. At the moment, natural looking tresses with a “pop” of color is what is defining hair color trends for 2015.

If you are planning to book an appointment with your hairdresser for a new hair color, make sure you check out the trends below for these fun possibilities. You can also check out celebrity hair inspirations to find the perfect match for your skin tone or hair type.

Balayage

If you are a hair color aficionado, then this isn’t the first time that you’ve heard of the “balayage” technique. This hair color technique has been combined with “ombre” coloring and is referred to as “blended ombre”. It is a highlighting technique that originated in France. Balayage is characterized by painted highlights that are very close to the natural color of the hair, which produces a more gradual color transition in the strands. This technique can create the perfect sun-kissed effect on your hair!

Ecaille aka Tortoiseshell Hair

Ecaille or tortoiseshell hair is emerging as the top hair color trend for 2015. It has been around for some time, but it has finally decided to take over ombre and step into the center stage. This highlighting technique provides a beautifully contrasted blend of colors with its use of dark and rich caramel tones along with some golden highlights.

Babylights

You might find the name funny or weird, but babylights is a new favorite amongst celebrities and supermodels. In fact, it is the ideal kind of hair color for spring or summer due to the use of light hues and color tones. The reason why it works so well for the warm weather months is because it looks as if the sun lightened it! It is all about subtlety. With babylights, the highlights blend more with your base color as the tiniest bits of hair are sectioned out to be colored. Most of the color that shines through is your natural hair color. A few well placed babylights can also make your hair look healthier and the color more dynamic.

Soft Reds

As hair color trends for 2015 are shifting towards more natural looks, vibrant reds are being upstaged by softer red tones like auburn, or reds with a hint of gold. You can take inspiration on this particular hair color from celebrities like Amy Adams, Isla Fisher, Jessica Chastain and even Kate Middleton.

5 WASH DAY MISTAKES THAT MAKE YOUR HAIR DRY

By GOODYARD HAIR

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How do you prevent moisture depletion on wash day? Looking forward to hearing more ways from you .

VITAL PROS AND CONS OF FUSION HAIR EXTENSIONS

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 4th December 2015

In Goodyard News, Hair Extensions, Hair Technique and Design

Hair extensions are desirable in most cases but they can also be necessary at times. Fusion hair extensions are obviously effective at styling your hair and they do make your hair look longer and fuller, naturally. Unlike other forms of hair extensions, the appearance of fusion hair extensions is the most natural and almost entirely concealed. That is possibly the greatest advantage of the particular method.

There are certain fusion hair extensions pros and cons that you would have to explore and be aware of before you take the plunge and make an investment. The problem with discussing or debating the fusion hair extensions pros and cons is that there are certain aspects which are purely subjective. 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. By almost every account and according to all the studies conducted, it is certain that fusion hair extensions are one of the most favored choices among all methods. It is also the most talked about method and owing to marketing campaigns, most people know about this method than others. In a way, the fusion hair extension industry is much better regulated and managed. This allows you to get technicians who are actually trained in the method and not just apprentices or aspirants who are trying their skills on your hair. There are many credible parlors where you can get an expert stylist specializing in fusion hair extensions. This helps you to be sure that you are not signing up with some juvenile service or putting the fate of your hair in the hands of an amateur.

Fusion hair extensions are very well concealed. There are two methods of application or techniques to install the extensions but regardless of the process of application, you can be certain that people will not figure out if you are wearing hair extensions. One of the primary reasons why fusion hair extensions are so popular is because of this fact. When the extensions are sealed or glued to your scalp, underneath the natural hair, they are completely concealed. The flow is natural and the styling also seems to be completely natural. You would not have to worry about people giving you a look as if they know what you have done and your hair doesn’t have to look unpleasant or unsightly, unnatural or weird.

Fusion hair extensions can last for a considerably long time. There are reports that infer the durability of the extensions to be up to six months. That is certainly a pleasant piece of news for anyone considering the expense of fusion hair extensions.

Fusion hair extensions do not have a long list of requirements when it comes to care and maintenance. There are some very simple steps you would have to take to care for them and to maintain them. There are many things that you have to avoid, all of which will be clearly explained to you by the stylist. You wouldn’t be kept in the dark at any point in time. A good thing about fusion hair extensions is that you can attend to your hair just as you would if you did not have the extensions. However, the bonding method and the quality of the hair extensions you choose will also play a role here. That is why it is important that your technician explains to you what you should and shouldn’t be doing.

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.

Fusion hair extensions can be installed in various ways. You can opt for individual strands to be installed or you may opt for full wefts. 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. Using a method that is not ideal for you will produce poor results. But the advantage is that you can choose.

Fusion hair extensions offer natural results and thus they are good for occasional styling, they don’t look odd when you sport them in an office and you can even bank on them if you are an actor or if you have something elaborate to do with your hair.

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.

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.

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

Fusion 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.

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.

3 STYLING TIPS YOU NEED TO BE PRACTICING

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 20th November 2015

In Hair Fashions

When it comes to applying eyelash extensions, technique is only half the battle. Being able to artfully shape the eye is what will set you apart as an industry leader. Try applying these 3 tips during your next appointment! The end result will be full, beautiful lashes and a very happy client. And really, what more could you ask for?

1. Taping back the tips of the extensions that have already been placed allows you to see those 2nd and 3rd layer lashes that are harder to see and reach. Try taping back different sections as you go instead of just at the end of the appointment. Doing this not only makes isolating easier but ensures that you’re being extra thorough throughout the entire appointment. When using this method make sure the pad or tape you’re using isn’t too sticky. Also, be careful to only tape back the very tips of the extensions. Taping too far down the lash will pull too hard on the lashes and will force your clients eyes to open, which could result in irritations.

2 Never, I repeat, NEVER, glue the entire extension to the entire natural lash. Natural lashes are wild and point in every which way, when you glue your extension entirely to the natural lash your extensions will then point in every which way. And whats worse is the extensions will then be stiff and lose all flexibility. Nobody wants that. To create a beautifully uniform set, adhere the extensions only 2mm from the base of the natural lash and redirect the tips where you want them. This allows you to style and shape the lashes how you want them. Make the extensions work for you! Not the other way around.

3. While long, thick, beautiful lashes are what we all want and strive for in our sets, there is such a thing as too many lashes. Yes, it’s true! And it’s especially true on those outside corners. If you overload the lash line of the outer corners they’ll appear heavy and they will sag, which in turn will make the eyes appear smaller because they’re being bombarded by bushy, caterpillar looking lashes. No thanks. Always be more concerned about quality over quantity and make sure you’re shaping the lashes and not just putting an extension on just to put it on. Give each extension a purpose. Try putting curlier lashes, like D curl, on the outside corners to help lift the eye and make it appear bigger and brighter.

This look is achieved with tapered sides, but keeps the top layer long and cut at angle. It looks great on all face shapes, but is best suited for men with a round face.

2. CAESAR HAIRCUT

The Caesar haircut is a popular buzz cut, but for good reason. The short length of the style makes it easy to maintain, and incredibly simple to spike. With a dab of cream or styling gel, the spiked look can be achieved in a matter of seconds, and will stay in place all day, with little to no maintenance required.

3. SIMPLE CASUAL

This simple casual hairstyle is a classic for good reason. Similar to the slicked back look, this can be achieved with a little hair gel or styling cream, and a quick brush through. Keep the hair shorter on the sides and longer on the top for an easy to maintain look.

How to Actually Pull Off That Hair-Tucked-into-Your-Sweater Thing

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 7th November 2015

In Hair Fashions

Anyone who follows street style with any regularity is surely familiar with “the hair tuck” by now. You know, that insouciant move where you leave your hair loosely half-tucked into a sweater or sweatshirt as if you couldn’t be bothered to flip it all the way outside the neck hole.

Although it might not seem like there’s much to mastering this style, there are in fact a few key elements and styling tricks that are essential to pulling it off properly. Here are four things to keep in mind before you attempt the tuck.

Make it messy.

One critical aspect of the sweater-tuck is that it shouldn’t look deliberate. “The whole point of this look is for it to seem very relaxed and like you almost mistakenly have your hair tucked inside your sweater or jacket,” says a senior stylist.

Now we’re not saying you can completely abandon styling, but a few strategically placed flyaways are crucial. “Add a few pieces falling out around your face and volume in the back, [and] you are good to go, ” he suggests. Pull baby hairs out around the face in a random manner to draw attention to your tuck. These wispies will also add movement—even if the majority of your hair is hidden.

Add lots of texture.

DeCarlo explains that this look will work on a range of hair types from straight to curly, but retaining texture is important no matter the hairstyle. Second- or third-day hair, which has grittier hold, is actually ideal for this look.

To get that effortless vibe, use a curling iron to enhance texture and movement, advises DeCarlo. Tease select pieces on the crown to give overall fullness and make the hair look less haphazard. Follow your teasing with a dry texture spray and/or dry shampoo to remove any excess oil.

Think of your hair as a scarf.

This is an ideal look for fall not only because it requires that you wear a sweater, but also because you’re likely to need all the added layers you can get. In lieu of reaching for a scarf, think of your hair as a big bundle of warmth. Just be careful to avoid wrapping your hair too tightly around your neck—the faux-beard look isn’t what we’re going for here.

Dress appropriately.

All the tousling in the world won’t make a difference if you’re not wearing the proper clothes for this look. We’re not saying you need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe—just make sure to throw on a loose sweater, turtleneck, or collared jacket the next time you want to try the hair tuck, says DeCarlo. These garments will make your hair the center focus while anchoring your strands in place.

Funny how much advance planning goes into looking like you didn’t try, right?

4 Ways to Achieve Heatless Curls

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 7th November 2015

In Hair Fashions

Put down those curling irons, ladies! If you want healthy, luscious hair, using a lot of heat is not the way to go. But don’t worry; you can still have beautiful curls. Here are a few ways to curl or wave your hair without frying it with the blow-dryer, curling iron, or wand.

1. Place a stretchy headband around your forehead, hippie style. Take sections of damp hair and wrap them around the headband and secure. Sleep on it and unwrap in the morning. Give your hair a good shake and voila, big, loose waves!

2. For sexy spiral curls, all you need is an arsenal of bobby pins and some time. Get your hair wet, and then create the curls yourself by folding portions of your hair into your scalp and then pinning them down with bobby pins. You can either wait a couple hours for the look to be ready or sleep with a shower cap on to wake up with beautiful curls.

3. Don’t toss that raggedy old t-shirt! Use it to create beautiful curls. Cut the shirt into strips. The thinner the strips are, the tighter the curls will be. Roll damp hair around each strip then tie the ends so they stay in place. Wait for hair to dry and remove the strips. Work in a little anti-frizz serum and you’re good to go.

4. Some people are absolutely obsessed with soft curlers (or your socks) and swear by them as the perfect way to get flawless curls. There are two ways to use them. At night, wrap hair around curlers, secure, and go to bed. When you wake up unravel and marvel at your voluminous hair. Or, in the morning wrap towel-dried hair in big curlers and go along with your normal morning routine. When your hair is dry, blast with cool air and unwraps.

THE ART OF SHAPING THE EYE BY EYELASHES

It’s one thing to be able to master the technical side of eyelash extensions, but being able to shape the eye and give your client a set that is perfect for their specific features is what will set you apart from other lash artists.

Always take into consideration what the client’s eye shape is. Are their eyes deep-set? Or are they protruding? Wide-set or close-set? Do they have hidden lids? Are their eyes round or almond shaped?

If you were to put the same length of extensions on someone with protruding eyes as someone with deep set eyes, the extensions would look much shorter on someone deep set eyes. Be sure not to overpower small and close-set eyes with long, heavy extensions. Adding length and curl to hidden lids and deep set eyes can open up and accentuate your clients eyes. Those with almond shaped eyes look stunning with a glamorous cat eye shaped extensions. Those with sparse natural lashes will greatly benefit from Volume lashes.

Clients may come in asking for anything from a natural shape to a dramatic babydoll look. It’s your job as a lash artist to have a thorough consultation with your client to see if what they want is a good fit for their natural lashes. We all know by now that putting an extension that is too heavy and too long on a weak, flimsy natural lash is damaging to your clients lashes. Use the consultation as an opportunity to educate your client on the different styles of lashes and what would be a great fit for them. It may take a couple appointments to figure out what lengths, diameter, curl and placement works best for them and that’s okay! Let your client know that there’s a learning curve with new clients and to make sure they’re communicating with you what is working and what isn’t.

Here is perfect example of how long extensions look on someone with protruding eyes. Borby educator Miranda didn’t have to use anything longer than 12mm on her client to give her lots of length because of her eye shape.

Borby educator Kelly maps out how to create the perfect natural look. Our lashes are naturally shorter in the inside and outside corners and longest in the middle.

Eyelash extensions don’t always need to be long and glamorous to be beautiful. A more natural look can easily be created by only covering about 80% of the natural lashes with extensions and using a thinner diameter and shorter length.

D curl lashes open up the eyes and make them appear bigger. They also give clients that bold dramatic look!

The cat eye shape is created by starting with a shorter length on the inside corners and gradually increasing the length as you reach the outside corners.

Our focus as lash artists is to enhance our clients natural beauty, not overpower it. Mastering the skill of being able to artfully shape your clients lashes allows you to do just that. What’s your favorite shape to create for your clients? Let us know in the comments below!

Tips on how to tell if it’s real human hair

If you’ve never used hair extensions before, deciding what hair to buy can be overwhelming. There are so many different types of synthetic and human hair, it’s hard to know the difference between them. Are any synthetic hair products as good as human hair extensions?

Hair extensions come in all sorts of types, texture, lengths and colours. But the most important is what they are made of, whether they come from a human hair or synthetically made. For some they may think that they can save by using or buying synthetic hair because they are way cheaper than real hair but in reality they aren’t.

Yes, you can save if you are after one time use, but if you are after a more permanent one then I would highly recommend the human hair as they last longer than synthetic ones. In addition, human hair looks and feels natural. They are incredibly soft, shiny and manageable as compared to the synthetic hair.

Human hair is highly versatile as it can be styled like you would your ordinary hair which can be difficult for synthetic hair as they cannot withstand heat. Therefore, synthetic hair limits your styling capabilities and they are also off limits to hair processes such as coloring and perming.

If you want the best hair go for the ultimate option, Remy human hair. They are considered premium because they were collected with the follicles intact and running in the same direction which is accountable for its manageability and minimized tangling.

How to tell human hair from synthetic hair? Aside from looking natural, soft, shiny and manageable, another way of differentiating the two is by burning both if its human hair then it will burn but if it’s synthetic then it will definitely melt.

How To Prevent Your Hair Extenison From Tangling

On 10th October 2015

Hair extensions are popular options for changing hairstyle or adding length and thickness to your hair. However, they are not like our own hair and they must be maintained. With hair extensions you have to do a little work if you would like them last.

Sometimes if you are new to hair extensions you may not be aware of the maintenance that is required for hair extensions. You certainly cannot leave them unattained or you will encounter problems such as tangling and matting. Even with the purest and most expensive hair on the market, you still have to go above and beyond to care for hair extensions. They simply don’t maintain themselves and if you do not use a care routine, they can tangle, mat, shed and dry becoming a mess quickly.

Instructions:

1. Brush out your extensions gently before washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any tangles.

2 Shampoo your extensions. Slowly wet your hair while taking a shower. Use a mild shampoo and lather your hair in a downward motion.

3 . Wash your extensions with mild detergent. Gently place your hair in a tub filled with cool water and allow the extensions to soak for five to ten minutes. Rinse the extensions with cool water when finished. Allow your hair to air dry by placing on a mannequin head so it will dry in its natural shape. Do not brush your hair when it is wet.

4. Brush your extensions gently after washing. Using a soft-bristled brush or a wide-tooth comb, brush your hair two to three times a day to prevent tangles..

Spray the hair with a leave-in conditioner daily to help prevent tangles. You can also use a de-tangling product or silicon spray to help your hair extensions stay tangle-free.

Tie your hair extension up when sleeping or exercising to prevent tangles. When you swim, wear a swim cap to protect your hair from harsh chlorine.

Avoid heat, such as curling irons or hair dryers. Heat can be very damaging to certain synthetic hair pieces. Heat, in general, causes hair to tangle and creates split ends. Use heat sparingly on hair extensions.

The Best Hairstyle for face Shape

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 25th September 2015

In Hair Fashions

Unfortunately, not every hairstyle will look good on everyone. Even though some people can pull off the craziest hairstyles, there are certain ways to cut and style your hair that will make you look your best based on the shape of your face. Some hair colors look better on certain skin tones. Here are some hair style and color tips for your face shape and skin tone for women:

Round Face Shapes

The best haircuts and hair styles for round shaped faces focus on slimming the face. Think about adding height with an up-style like Adele’s high beehive which can balance out a round face.

Shorter hairstyles work well on people with round face shapes. Consider a graduated bob that begins at the nape and rests to a point under the chin, as seen on Kelly Clarkson. Flattering hairstyles for round faces include layered fringes and layers that frame the face.

Long /oval Face Shapes

You have an oval shaped and longer face, straight bangs across your forehead can make your face look wider. You would need to style them every day, but it doesn’t take long with a straightened. If you have long wavy or curly hair, a center part would look great as well. Oval faces look good with several different styles. If you have short hair, style your hair with layers or waves to have width.

Square Face Shapes

Light shoulder-length layers all around that start a few inches above the ends with sweeping bangs. Feathery layers (which can be achieved with a razor) like Olivia Wilde’s camouflage a strong chin. “The airy ends prevent the eye from noticing any sharp corners,” says Garren. He recommends parting at the side for an asymmetrical effect, which also offsets squareness.

Heart Shaped Faces

A collarbone-length crop with sweeping bangs and uniform layers. Reese Witherspoon’s shoulder-skimming layers draw your eyes away from the chin area and add balance.

Avoid hair styles with added height or any hairstyle that is too slicked back.

Top 7 Fall Hairstyles for Men

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 18th September 2015

In Hair Fashions

With a major resurgence in men’s coiffage in recent years, there is no surprise that not only princes of the runway but also average Joes are experimenting with their hairstyles and getting more dapper haircuts to move with the times.

It’s no joke – men take their hairstyles seriously. From classic brushed back look to fringed bangs and from multi-textured ‘dos to tapered fades, men’s hairstyles have indeed come a really long way. There are hairstyles for every hair length, type and face shape as well as seasons!

With fall almost upon us, it is time to groom those luscious locks. We’ve looked around, talked to experts and compiled a list of our top 9 fall hairstyles for men. Ranging from the classic to the edgy and from neat to messy, these haircuts will surely inspire you!

1. Side Sweep

When it comes to simple, everyday hairstyles for men that don’t require a lot of maintenance, the short side sweep is easily the number one choice. It is simple to create, easy to maintain and highly flexible, which is why it is featured at the number one position in our list of popular fall hairstyles for men. Also known as the gentleman’s hair style, the side sweep works for all hair types and face shapes!

Woke up with bedhead or got your hair disheveled in the shower? There’s an easy fix! Just sweep your mane to the side using hyper fix putty or slick it to the side with hair mousse to get an ultra-glossy Gatsby look. Sport this boy-next-door hairstyle at work or for running errands. You can style your side sweep in seconds and can never go wrong with the look you choose.

Classic Slicked Back

This stylish, sophisticated and slicked-back hairdo oozes finesse and is the ultimate go-to style for men who wish to keep every strand in place.

Idea for work, hanging out with friends or even for special occasions, the classic slicked back hairstyle makes an impact every single time. The hairstyle is ideal for men with short to medium length, straight (or almost straight) hair. Use a styling gel before going for a brushed back look or try an easy variation with a deep side part.

The Undercut

If you loved Brad Pitt’s hairstyle in Fury, you’ve probably thought of trying out an undercut. The ‘it’ look for men in the 40s, this hairstyle has recently shot up in popularity like no other ‘do and is popular with any guy who wants to look cool and in control.

The best thing about the undercut is that it can be trimmed and styled in many different ways and with almost all hair types. Go for the classic look or try a disconnected variation for a dapper look,à la military style.

Tousled Pomp

Want to go for a chic, debonair look? Say hello to the tousled pomp! Once flaunted only by supermodels and Hollywood heroes, this suave men’s hairdo has now become an integral part of mainstream street style. With loads of height and just enough texture, this hairstyle is perfect for just about any occasion.

The tousles texture lends this hairstyle an edgy flair, while the style itself adds a few extra inches to the stature. If you too wish to try this look, use a styling gel for a perfect finish.

5. Swept Back Curls

This soft hairstyle for men with curly hair creates a more controlled look as compared to a deep side part, which gathers all the hair on a single side of the head. The look is very classy, very vintage, but requires a little extra effort to perfect. The problem with swept back curls is that the locks keep coiling back to their original shape and position. Therefore, using a very strong curl taming cream is imperative to sweep and set them properly in place.

Smooth in a styling gel and brush your hair back for a natural, neat style and perfect finish. If your hair is short and you want to try a new variation, you can also try a slicked look with a side part, but for an effortless appearance, use your finger instead of a tail comb to draw out the part.

6. Messy Shag

No other hairstyle has had so many celebrity endorsements as the messy shag. This men’s hairdo, which was popularized by the Beatles in the late 1960s, has stayed popular over the decades.

Simple, playful and nonchalantly messy, this hairstyle needs no extra effort to set and sport, which is why it’s just perfect for a season as lazy as fall. Plus, it is ideal for medium-length, straight to wavy hair. Would you like to try this adorable messy look?

7. Rebel Waves

Why control the chaos when you can rock it like a pro? The grungy rock ‘n’ roll rebel wave is an iconic bad boy hairstyle. While it was sported and popularized by rockstars and celebrities in the 90s, the rebellious and carefree spirit of this hairstyle has made it one of the permanent entries inmen’s hairstyling logbook. Any guy who worships Kurt Cobain or James Dean has sported rebel waves at least once in his life!

The only basic requirement for sporting this look is that you must have longer hair on the top and shorter hair on the sides; your hair can be straight, wavy or curly. With lots of texture and movement, rebel waves are absolutely unapologetic… and that’s exactly what we love about the hairstyle! So, if you too were ‘born to be wild’, give rebel waves a try. You’ll surely get all the attention from the ladies!
