Recently I met someone who "appeared" to have great extensions.
As a salon owner/Platinum Extensionist, I was interested in finding out more about her stylist and the method/product used. I was also in desperate need of someone to actually do my hair, that I trusted.
I announced my name to the salon and booked an apt. I was eager to have my own hair done and hopefully, if this was a good thing, have something new to offer at Studio She. I am all about working together - there are enough women who want "good hair days" and I love to share my passion with other stylists.
I drove 2.5 hours to the destination. Finally, I thought I had found someone who has shares the same JOY for extending hair. I was elated to have someone pamper me because usually it is the other way around. Excited to finally have someone do my hair!
4 weeks later - I have spent a little less than $1000.00 and I am totally not satisfied. The hair I am wearing is probably from China. All the silicone that the hair was soaked in has come off, which has led me with hair that knots easy and feels awful. The color matching was less than perfect.
My point is this...there are so many salons out there that claim great reviews. But at the end of the day, when it comes to good hair extensions you have to do your research. The stylist told me that I could re-use this hair - her placement was amazing but what good is placement if the hair is bad quality?
It just makes me wonder - clients - are to make happy and to continue to bring them back over and over again. Trust is a huge word, especially when spending money!
Get to know your stylist and ask for testimonials.
Even though I am a stylist, I still sit in the same "client" chair and I understand the feeling of being let down when it comes to wasting money on something I really wanted. Not to mention - it is just another company that doesn't get the "seal of approval".

Strand by Strand Hair Extensions
Strand by Strand So.Cap Hair Extensions
Transform a bad hair day with confidence. Strand by Strand So.Cap Hair Extensions add volume and length and are also fade resistant. With 90+ colors to work with, color matching is perfect!
The hair you have always dreamed of is absolutely possible. Strand by Strand Hair Extensions are undetectable and allow you to wear your hair up or down. Styling with strand by strand extensions is absolutely a huge time saver. The extensions hold curl longer than our own hair, which makes gorgeous curls possible with holding power!
So.Cap Hair Extensions are 100% Remy human hair (the cuticle is going in the same direction). This is very important, as typically lower grade extensions that tangle are usually not Remy and after a few weeks typically look and feel like a “hot mess”. The bond is pre-dipped in keratin (protein) which is then warm or cold fused to the hair cuticle. Unlike competitors, So.Cap has zero polymer in the bond which helps with minimal damage and long lasting extensions.
It is no surprise why the biggest stars of the entertainment industry are among its loyal users.
So.Cap extensions are not re-usable and are taken out with a professional remover solution and tool. Damage can be done during this process so it is very important that it is done by a Certified So.Cap Extensionist.
Protecting your investment is vital. Using So.Cap 4 U products is important to care for your extensions.

Change Your Look With Hair Extensions
Switch it up with Hair Extensions
Hair extensions can be a great change to your look and style! Using Hair Extensions will give you the makeover that you have been searching for.
The decision to get hair extensions is constantly on the rise. Hair extensions are the simple answer to all of your hair challenges. Not only do they allow us to experiment with our style, they also give us the option of adding length and volume. Simple to advanced layers, color dimension and curls are all options without doing anything to our own hair. This is the key to obtaining the best of both worlds! Get the style you want without damaging your own hair.
Since the popularity of Pixie Cuts, Rhianna/Posh Spice Inspired Elongated Bobs we have noticed an increase of those that want hair extensions. Why? Simply put, not everyone has the “face” or “hair” for the short sassy cut. That said, once the mistake has been made the best option is some form of hair extension.
Another great way to achieve highlights and color is to use fade resistant hair extensions. This is great because your own hair will not be damaged while the cuticle usually is being broken down during color processing.
For those that have thin, fine hair (like myself), hair extensions are one stop shopping. You will get the volume you wish God blessed you with and you will also be able to style your hair and have the “look” last. What a concept! If you struggle with lifeless hair then you completely know what I am saying.
If you are considering hair extensions but you’re unsure about the aftercare that is involved be sure you speak to your stylist. These types of questions should be answered fully the day of your Hair Extension Consultation. It is also suggested that you have an “aftercare sheet” to help guide you and to help protect your investment. I will say this, using products that are not created for hair extensions can cause shedding, dryness and slippage. If your Stylist is saying to use any products on the extensions then I would keep searching. Oil is the number one cause of losing extensions and 99.9% of products out there contain oil.
Styling hair extensions is typically the same as styling your hair without extensions. However, hair is dead and the heavy use of blowdryers, curling irons, flat irons etc are not suggested. Basically, if you want to protect your investment and your hair you need to back off on all the heat. I am assuming that we are talking about human hair during this article. If you have synthetic hair, you are advised to not use any form of heat as typically the hair will melt. There are a few companies on the market that have synthetic hair extensions but they usually lack in the color matching department.
The use of human hair as your hair extensions means that your extensions can be treated in exactly the same as you would treat your own hair; you are able to wash them, style them and tie them back in the same way and method that you would with your natural hair.
If you are considering hair extensions, I would highly suggest going to a professional Hair Extensionist. There are several different methods on the market and not all methods are created for everyone. It is important that you are educated as to what method is right for you. Unfortunately most Stylists are only certified with one company. There are several guidelines that should be followed while deciding which type of hair extension is right for you. Selecting the right method will help you achieve your “hair goals” and also prevent damage.
