Brazilian (Fusion or Strand by Strand) - This is a process done strand by strand in small sections. Using heated adhesive sticks and glue gun make for hair extensions, extension hair is added directly to your own hair. Hair can be bought already cut, weft removed and pre tipped with adhesive, a purging tool is used to warm the adhesive and apply it to your hair. Your hair lies over the tip for a natural look. We sell a starter kit with glue gun video and all items you need to use a gun and adhesive sticks method and we sell pre tipped hair with the tool. Please see supplies or pre tipped Body wave or Straight hair.

Weaving - This is a process which you create a cornrow or track around the head and close to the scalp. Extension hair is sewn on the tracks. Your own hair lays over the tracks for a natural look.

Bonding - This is the easiest method. A bonding glue is applied onto the weft of the extension hair and then applied at the root of your hair. This is a temporary method. We sell bonding glue and remover.

Clip Ins - Clips have been sewn onto human extensions hair. You many clip these in and out yourself. Clips can be

Mini Links - This method uses no glue, no heat, no remover and also no damage to the hair. Small circular links are used. Your own hair is pulled through in small pieces with a tool that looks like a crochet hook then the pre tipped hair is put inside the link and it is squeezed tight. To remove, use pinchers to open the link. Hair can be reused. Weaves can be done with links. Make a row of links and sew extension hair to the links. You can also use a link in certain spots that may be lifting to hold to hold it down or make it to your next appointment. Links are also used to make a circle and sew down a hairpiece or to hold down wigs. The plus is no glue and no heat and they are very small so they lay really flat and are hard to see.

When choosing a color to match your own hair, choose a color that matches your hair from the middle to the ends. Never buy the color of your growth as that is always darker. The blending of your hair on the bottom part is most important.

Many factors must be considered when answering this question. For example, if you have thing hair, you might want to consider purchasing more hair to achieve a fuller head of hair. Another factor to consider is the length of the hair you want to purchase. For example, although one ounce of 20” hair and one ounce of 24” hair weigh the same, the amount of hair in the sense of fullness will differ, this is due to the fact that the longer the hair the more each strand weighs.

It is generally a rule of thumb 8 ounces should be sufficient for a full head, 4 ounces should be enough for half a head, 3 ounces should be sufficient for a “healthy pony tail.” For wefted hair, (should be able to click for wefted hair pic) rule of thumb is one ounce of hair will give you one track.

Strands of hair which have been sewn along one edge to create a line of hair. Picture a skirt that has not been enclosed. Wefts can be sewn thick or thin. We recommend ordering the regular weft. Thick wefts tend to make the extension harder manage. Thin wefts tend to weaken the weft, making shedding more probable.
