  • HOW MUCH HAIR DO I NEED FOR AN INSTALL?
    TRADITIONAL INSTALL- If you are purchasing hair from your local beauty supply or online vendor, between "10- 14" inches, please arrive with two packs of 100% Human Hair. Any lengths longer than 14” inches would need approximately 3 packs of hair to complete the installation, LACE CLOSURE INSTALL- 2 ½ -3 bundles of hair is needed for this type of install. Shorter lengths primarily between “10-14” can be done with only purchasing two bundles. FRONTAL/360 INSTALL- If lengths are between "10-14 ’inches, I would recommend buying only 2 bundles of hair because the space to sew the wefts is limited. However, if you prefer a fuller look, you can opt to buy 3 bundles instead. Any lengths 14 ’inches and up would require 3 bundles of hair.

  • WHAT IS THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN A GLUE-LESS vs GLUE WEAVE INSTALL?
    GLUELESS INSTALL- For ths type of install, the Lace is to held in place with a strong gel (Got2BGlued), and combination of an Elastic Band. This method is a lot more protective, and doesnt impose any potential damge on the hair or surrounding edges. GLUE w/ NUDE CAP INSTALL- For this type of install, Lace Adhesive (Ghost-Bond XL) will be used. The Nude Cap is used as a foundation to cover the braids, and to give the illusion of a scalp.The lace adhesive is then applied a few inches before your hairline, and then the lace is securely applied. For proper removal of adhesive, a Lace Bond Remover or 70% Alcohol must be used in order to protect your hair from breaking and prevent any damages.

  • CAN I COLOR MY EXTENSIONS?
    Yes! Hair that is 100% Virgin Human Hair can be chemically treated or colored. However, once hair is treated in any way, it is no longer virgin. Keep in mind that colored treated hair should be kept conditioned and moisterized so it doesnt loose its texture and luster. Only experienced colorists should attempt to color hair. Remember that though the hair is 100% human hair, it is just as prone to damage from excessive processing as your own hair.
  • WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNPROCESSED AND RAW HAIR?
    VIRGIN HAIR - is hair that has never been processed with any chemicals (Perms, hair dyes, bleach, or relaxers). However, what makes it different from raw hair is that it has been steamed processed to give you different textures. Ex: “Silky Straight, Body Wave, Kinky Curly, Deep/Loose Wave). This is the reason the hair is usually formed like the letter “S” when you receive it. All patterns are uniform throughout the entire bundle of hair RAW HAIR - hair that comes from one donor, that has not been processed in any way, shape, or form. This hair ONLY comes in straight, wavy or curly. Every bundle will has a unique and natural curl pattern so no two bundles will be identical. They don't come in any man-made textures as virgin hair does.
  • HOW LONG WILL MY WEAVE LAST? CAN I WASH MY HAIR WITH THE WEAVE INSTALL?
    Proper maintenance maintenance will increase the life of your weave, but should be removed after 3 months. Take advantage of the WEAVE RETOUCH service that includes a wash, tighten, and style. This service is recommended every 3-4 weeks to properly care for your natural hair and extensions
  • WHAT PRODUCTS ARE BEST FOR CARING FOR MY EXTENSIONS?
    Choosing products are essential when maintaining and caring for your extensions. Alwyas use a sulfate- free mosturizing shampoo and conditioner. Stay away from high concentration alcohol based, and oil based prodcuts. Permitting the use of these products will dry out the hair and cause toms of product buid up. For daily maintainece, I reccommend applying weightless argan oil based prodcut, or mosturizing leave in conditioner when caring for your extensions
  • CAN I STRAIGHTEN OR CURL MY HAIR EXTENSIONS/WIG?
    Hair that is 100% human hair that can withstand household styling tools such as curling irons and flat irons. Always use a heat protectant. You can wash, set, and style the wig as you would your own hair, Like your natural hair, the hair can get damaged with the misuse and overuse of products and styling tools,
  • HOW DO I PREVENT AND DEAL WITH TANGLES?
    - Use a volumizing shampoo if your hair is fine or thin. Usually fine and thin hair are prone to tangling and by using shampoos that add volume and movement to thin strands, you can minimize the chances of encountering tangles. - Rinse with cold or cool water. Cold water helps close the cuticle, which not only adds radiance to the hair but also helps prevent many forms of tangles. - Avoid rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel. The better way to dry your hair is to blot it gently with a towel. - Use a detangling spray or conditioning product that will help reduce tangles. It can be in a form of leave on conditioner that you can apply on the area where most tangles occur. - Do not use a brush on hair that is already tangled. Remove the tangles first by gently pulling the strands with your fingers or a wide tooted comb. - Make a habit of combing your hair from the bottom upwards. - Do not allow your hair to fly freely in the wind. - Never wet your hair when it is already tangled because this will only worsen the situation. Instead, spritz the tangle with a shine serum spray and then massage the knotted area with the palms of your hands. This will help loosen up the tangled area. Untangle with your fingers or a wide toothed comb afterwards. - Use high quality hair irons. - Untangle your knotted hair immediately
