  • Are Hair Extensions Right for you?

    Hair extensions are a good choice for people who want to increase the length of their hair or make it look thicker. They are a way of changing your hair quickly and relatively permanently without having to wait for it to grow. However, they can be a lot of hard work and you need to be fully aware of how to care for your hair extensions before deciding to have them fitted.

    If you are committed to looking after your hair extensions, you are much more likely to enjoy having them. You will need to use specific shampoos, conditioners and hair products to complement your particular extensions. You will also need to visit your hair extension salon for a maintenance appointment every few weeks or months. This will give your stylist the chance to replace any bonds and refresh your extensions. Extensions can be great but just make sure you are fully prepared for them.

    Summer is a time to enjoy your hair and to enjoy the weather. Nothing says summer quite like caramel blonde tones and beachy hair. However, it’s a difficult colour to maintain all over. Here are some of the ways to incorporate caramel hues into your hair:

    • Highlights. These can be put through the top of your hair or through all of your hair. Choose the look that is right for you and gives the right balance of blonde/ natural tones.
    • Balyage. This is similar to highlights but it looks more natural. It works perfectly with blondes and light browns, placing the colours naturally throughout the hair for a multi-tonal look.
    • Dip dye. Colour the ends of your hair to achieve the dip dye look. This is casual, summery and reminiscent of the beach and holidays, so it works perfectly during this season. Finish the look off with loose waves.
