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。

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What to Look For When You Buy Eyelash Extensions

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 25th February 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News

Finding the right eyelash extensions is one of the most important decisions you will make for your business. When you set out to buy eyelash extensions, there are a number of things you have to keep in mind so that you can get the best product for the lowest price. Here are a few things to look for, whether you are starting a new venture or need a new product.

Popularity

You have to keep up with what is the most popular types of eyelashes, and you need to know what the pros and cons of each of them are. This is helpful for two reasons. First, it lets you see how products are changing. Second, you will find that many customers will have done their research before making their final decision. You need to be able to tell them why you do or do not carry the most popular types. Having done your research beforehand will make it easier to help direct them to the best fit for their needs.

Lash Length

One of the most difficult aspects to judge is the length of the lashes. Everyone is going to want something different, so you have to buy eyelash extensions that cover a wide range of lengths. You will need to be able to help customers be able to determine the right length for their individual lifestyles. When researching the length of the different eyelash extensions, make sure to keep tabs on which ones are more durable so that you can provide extra care instructions for the really long lashes. If length significantly reduces the durability of lashes, you should probably consider an alternative or shorter extensions. This is all information you will need to be able to detail for customers.

Curve and Curl

The amount of curve and curl in lashes can help make them look longer or highlight the eyes. Some customers will want to be able to add some curl, so you need to know which brands are safe for additional curling and which ones provide the right curve so that curling is not necessary. Each brand and product is different and flexibility, depending on what the eyelash extensions are made of and how long they are.

Composition

You need to know what the product is made of before you make your final purchase. Mink is being widely touted as the best, but it has just as many drawbacks as synthetic eyelashes. Before you commit to buying a new type of eyelash extensions, know what they are made of, how long they will last, and what makes them different compared to the other types. You will need to be able to tell your customers why a particular type is better for their needs than others.

Reviews

Take the time to read the reviews on each product you are considering. Your customers will likely read the same ones and their questions and interest will cover what they find in the same reviews. If you find that there is a particular problem associated with a certain kind of eyelash extension, you will be able to find out if there is a way to prevent that issue or help justify why you don’t carry that product.

In the end, knowing the pros and cons on the product is what will help you decide what is best for your business. If you would like help when you are looking to buy eyelash extensions for your business, you can contact us. We can help you review your options and figure out what is right for your company.

How To Wear Hair Extensions

By GOODYARD HAIR

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.

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.

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.

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.

How to Fix Sad, Droopy Eyelashes

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 19th January 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News, Hair Fashions

If your eyelashes are stubbornly-straight, chances are even after curling and using mascara they stick straight down and look sad. Having beautifully curled lashes make eyes look more awake, most of the time the right trick will help the lashes keep its curl. Here are a few tips to help fix droopy eyelashes

Heated Eyelash Curler

For stubborn, straight lashes that don’t seem to hold a curl- the Heated Lash Curler is the best for long-lasting results. The curler comes in a wand like shape that is much similar to a mascara brush, once the curler is heated use it to wiggle from the base of your lashline to the ends. You will need to hold the wand in place at the base for 5 to 10 seconds before moving upward. If you want thicker, darker, fuller and longer eyelashes, do not forget to apply mascara before using your heated lash curler

Curling Mascara

If you’re blessed with gorgeous long lashes, you probably have a hard time keeping them looking curled all day. The moment you finish curling your eyelashes, apply a thin coat of waterproof mascara and skip out on using volatizing mascara. A curling mascara provides lift immediately after curling and seals in your curl for all day wear. If your longer lashes ends up smearing mascara onto their lower eyelids, a waterproof formula is key. The consistency is lighter and have a drier texture so the lashes freeze in the curl quicker.

Fiber Volume

Goodyard lashes work best to build the look of more volume and thickness while holding a curl. The formula is lightweight with the black sculpting fibers seamlessly build onto your own lashes to achieve naturally voluminous lashes. If you struggle with false eyelashes looking too outrageous and unnatural, lash fibers create a flattering look of fake lashes without the application frustration. Most mascara will weight down the lashes causing them to appear droopy, Goodyard lashes are a better alternative!

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.

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.

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:

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 get this look: To achieve this look apply classic lash extensions to each individual natural lash. Leave a few lashes (about 15) unlashed from the center of the eye to the outer corners. Place one glitter lash extension to the remaining natural lashes.

How to Take Care of Synthetic Hair Extensions

By GOODYARD HAIR

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

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

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.

And what is the best way to celebrate sun and fun than to celebrate with your lashes ?

The perfect way to add a pop of color to your eye look without wearing any eyeliner or eye shadows is with Ombré false eyelashes. These are beautifully created with a gradient effect of color on the ends of the lashes.

Ombre lashes made from silk fibre with coloured tips ,that have been pre-dyed at the ends .They are fully coming to life when in the sun and are just perfect for holidays,festivals and summer parties .Many different colors for you to create fun and festive look!

How to Create Ombre Eyelashes By yourself

If you want to create ombre eyelashes by yourself .It’s also quite easy .

You will need a lash comb and your favorite bright color gel eyeliner. You can probably find a colored mascara but chances are the product will have a hard time coating the black synthetic lash hair. Gel eyeliner are more thicker in texture and have a great opacity for the color to appear strong.

You will need 2 different shades of gel eyeliner, one has to be bright and other more darker.

Start by combing your eyelashes with a clean brush to separate the strands, you want to do this while you have already applied your false eyelashes to your eyes.

Coat the mascara wand with your bright color gel eyeliner, start with the lightest shade and allow the product to dry. The trick is to color the eyelashes from the roots outwards, vertically. You should use lighter colors or tones at the inner corners and darker ones towards the outside to make your eyes look bigger.

Once it’s dried, take the deeper shade and slightly overlap the first color but not too much until you reach the outer corners of your eyes, and your ombre eyelashes are ready!

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

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 10th October 2015

In Goodyard News, Hair Extensions, Hair Technique and Design

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.

How to Apply Strip False Eyelashes

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 14th September 2015

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News

False eyelash extensions, Strip Lashes, are a great way to add fullness and volume to your natural lashes quickly. Wear strip lashes for a day or for a few weeks. The choice is yours. Strip lashes are fast, easy, and you get consistent results every time.

1.Size the lashes. Before gluing the lashes on, you will need to make sure they are not too wide for your eye. Hold the lash strips up against your eyelid, and trim them down on the sides if necessary.

If the strip needs to be cut to fit, snip the outer edge completely off with small nail scissors. This will avoid drooping at the corner (meaning: no more lashes poking your eyeball).

2.Squeeze a thin line of lash glue onto the back of your non-dominant hand.

Now, gently run the outer seam of the eyelash strip along it. Allow the glue to dry for a moment before applying it to your lashes.

3.Place the strip on your eyelid, positioning it as close as possible to your natural lashes. Bring the strip down from above, not from the front. This is to ensure that you get as close as possible to your lashline.

4.Allow the glue to dry naturally. Once the strip is in place, you do not need to press or hold it.

5.Apply mascara to your lashes. This will help blend your natural lashes with the false ones, achieving a more natural look. You can use black, brown, or dark gray mascara.

6. If you see a gap showing on the eyelid between your real lashes and falsies, don’t worry! You don’t have to pull it off and start again, says Brascia. Just fill in the gap, using a matte black eye shadow as a liner to hide it.This step will also help the glue dry more quickly.

How to Dye Hair at home

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 8th August 2015

In Goodyard News, Hair Extensions, Hair Technique and Design

Getting Ready :

Wash your hair 24 to 48 hours before dying.
Pick a color that you really like. I
Protect your home and yourself from dye stains.
Put a towel or color cape around your shoulders.
Brush your hair well.
Coat your hairline, ears and neck before applying dye to your hair.
Put on your gloves.
Use the supplied bottle or a bowl to mix the dye.
Mix your dye with developer.

Dying your hair:

Use a comb to separate your hair into four different sections. Use large salon clips (found at your local drugstore) to hold the sections apart. Separating your hair into these sections will ensure that you don’t miss a patch of hair

Apply the dye to your hair in sections. Break each section of hair up into smaller 1/4″-1/2” subsections as you work (this will just make your dye job more even.) Use the applicator bottle or brush to dispense the dye onto your hair. Use your gloved fingers to work the dye into your hair. Whether to begin applying the dye will depend on whether or not you have ever dyed your hair before.

For virgin (first time dyeing) hair, start applying dye about 1 inch from your roots.

For touch-ups, start applying dye about ½ inch from your roots.

Work the dye into your hair well so that you do more than simply color the top layer of your hair.

Set a timer for how long you need to leave the dye in your hair. Follow the instructions on the box. Do not rinse the dye out before the minimum time or leave the dye in past the maximum time. Make sure to follow the directions exactly. If you have a lot of grey hair, it’s best to leave the dye in for the maximum amount of time. [8]

Never leave hair dye in overnight. Leaving it in overnight will dry out your hair and it may cause severe skin irritation as well.

Rinsing Your Hair

Wipe excess dye off of your neck and forehead with a paper towel or wet cloth.
Wait until the process time is up to rinse your hair.
Shampoo and condition your hair.
Dry your hair and style as usual.

How to Prevent Your Hair from Tangling

On 27th July 2015

In Goodyard News, Hair Extensions, Hair Technique and Design

Tangled hair is never fun. In fact, it’s quite painful when you can’t get them out, right? So, I thought I’d share some easy tips to help you avoid those pesky tangled hairs!

Condition your hair

Conditioning the hair will restore moisture back into it, leaving it smoother and less likely to tangle. If you need something more powerful than a rinse-out conditioner, try a leave-in treatment each day or do a deep conditioning treatment every one to two weeks. If you have oily hair and worry about making it worse, just remember to only condition the ends of your hair not the scalp!

Use a wide tooth comb

Although it may be tempting to use a brush because it’s ‘faster’, using a wide tooth comb (or a special detangling brush) is a much better idea, trust me! Not only will it remove the tangles more efficiently, but you will also protect your hair from being torn and damaged. Start at the bottom of the knot, and *keyword: patiently* work your way up until it is combed out completely.

Brush your hair consistently

If your hair is prone to tangling, it’s probably not a good idea to let it down all day (especially in the wind) without brushing it. Brush your hair 2-3 times a day using a soft bristle brush, especially before a shower and before sleeping. Be gentle while brushing, ladies!

Protect your hair while you sleep

Comb all tangles from your hair at night before going to bed and braid or wrap your hair and pin it out of the way. Cover your hair with a silk scarf and use a satin pillowcase. This will prevent your hair from becoming tangled or snarled while you sleep. Above all else, however, don’t go to sleep with soaking wet, uncombed hair!

Helpful Detangling Tips

Split your hair in manageable sections: tackling a knot can definitely be frustrating! We recommend to work on detangling your hair one section at a time.
Never brush wet hair: wet hair is much more likely to break than dry hair.
Use your fingers: to gently detangle your hair periodically throughout the day
Tie your hair: in a braid or a ponytail on windy days or when being active
