Who Said White Girls Don't Wear Hair Extensions?

I am always astounded when my Caucasian clients tell me it's more acceptable for African American women to wear hair extensions. They feel that other women in their culture are not accepting or don't talk openly about haircare, wigs, hair additions or hair extensions.  Some are even ashamed to let anyone know that they have extensions. Hair is hair. I don't care if the person the hair is growing from is white, black, blue, green, purple, brown, yellow, or red. The only thing that concerns me is texture. Is it straight, curly, fine, coarse, wavy or relaxed. The only other info I'm concerned with is if it is color treated, chemically altered or natural.  You can manipulate any head of hair once you identify the hair type and texture. It is not necessary to know the person's nationality or cultural background.

The world of beauty offers women so many options. Why deprive yourself when it come to your hair? If you need it weave it, if you don't have it buy it, wish you had it? then add it. A majority of celebrities wear wigs and hair extensions. Some out of necessity others purely for fashion. Hair extensions are becoming much more mainstream and a part of American culture. Having longer fuller hair can increase your self confidence and self esteem. So if you've always thought about getting hair extensions but perceived them to be fake, strange, weird, or unacceptable for your culture watch the video below. I hope it helps change your perception. Everyone deserves to have the hair they've always wanted. It's not a Black girl thing, it's a Beauty thing.

Why is My Hair Thinning?

Low Iron May Cause Hair Loss

One of the most important factors in preventing hair loss is adequate iron storage, which is called Ferritin. This helps to maximise hair growth, low levels will cause hair shedding. It may also be necessary to buy a vitamin B12 supplement and/or iron, but iron should be taken only if necessary after a blood test from your doctor. It is surprising how many young women have low iron deficiencies. It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron deficient. Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss.

The signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include:

• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Pale skin
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Thinning hair and brittle nails
• Shortness of breath
• Cold hands and feet

If you have any of theses symptoms it is recommended that you see your doctor and have blood test done. You hair loss could simply be contributed to low iron levels in your body.

One supplement that comes highly recommended for iron deficiency is:

 

Floradix

Hair Topper hair loss solution for women with fine thin hair

Gorgeous Strandz announces the launch of the Enchantop Hair Topper, a hair extensions product for women with thinning hair. According to the American Academy of Dermatology approximately 30 million women suffer from hair loss and 65% of women will have noticeable hair loss by age 60. The Enchantop is a hairpiece designed to provide coverage for women experiencing hair loss due to female pattern baldness. Once it is applied it gives the appearance that new hair is growing directly from the scalp.

The Enchantop is made of 100% Remy human hair. Each strand of hair is hand ventilated on an extra fine mono-filament base that virtually disappears into the scalp. It can be cut, colored, curled, flat-ironed and styled like natural hair. "No slip grip" clips attached at key points along the base create a secure attachment all day.

"There are several factors that attribute to hair loss which can be a traumatizing experience for women," says Brenda Waters celebrity hair stylist and president of Gorgeous Strandz. "I've had clients with tears in their eyes and completely devastated because of their hair loss. It affects their self confidence because when they lose their hair they feel like they've lost their identity. We created this product as an alternative to wearing wigs."

5 factors that cause hair loss in women:
• Hormonal changes
• Stress
• Autoimmune disorders
• Nutrition and vitamin deficiencies
• Allergic reactions to hair color or other chemicals

"Women should seek the advice of their doctor or dermatologist at the onset of hair loss," says Waters. Doctors will identify the root cause of the hair loss and prescribe the necessary re-growth regimen. While the hair is growing back the Enchantop gives non-damaging realist coverage for thinning hair in addition to a much needed confidence boost.

The Enchantop Hair Topper is available in Medium and Large. It comes in five shades: Off Black, Dark Brown, Medium Brown, Toasted Meadow Blonde and Warm Wheat Blonde.

Enchantop Hair Extensions Topper

Who can wear Enchantop Hair Extensions Topper? Anyone!

• Individuals with thin hair in the crown
• Individual with bald spots in the crown
• Individuals with female pattern baldness
• Individuals who want more volume
• Individuals who more thickness
• Individuals who want to hide their dark roots or grey hair in between color touch ups

The Enchantop hair extensions topper is an excellent option for short, moderately thin to extremely thinning hair in the crown.  This topper is great for clients experiencing hair loss, female pattern baldness, or extremely thinning hair in the top of the head. 

This is also a great option for individual who have to have their color touched-up every 3-4 weeks. As a stylist I think this is too often to have color applied to the scalp. Since there is usually not enough natural regrowth in 3-4 weeks having your hair colored this often can cause over processing due to overlapping color on previously colored hair. Thus resulting in dry, damaged, brittle hair that can lead to breakage   The Enchantop allow you to conceal your "rooty" look. As soon as you apply it, you look as if you've just had your hair freshly highlighted. The Enchantop allows you to go longer between salon color services. 

Wear this amazing hair addition on the days that you don't shampoo your hair. Most women feel like their hair is to oily if they do not shampoo everyday. I am an advocate of the every other day or every 2-3 days shampooing regime. Shampooing the hair too often can create dry and unruly hair. Consequently, it also causes the scalp to become too oily.  Read my blog post about how to correct this problem Why is my hair so oily?

The Enchantop is made of 100% human hair and generally last 9-12 months with proper care. It can be curled, flat ironed, or styled like your natural hair and takes less than 3 minutes to apply. Once applied the hair looks as if it is growing from your scalp! Enchantop comes in 2 sizes, medium and large. Enchantop topper is attached with silicon lined no slip clips which allows it to stay securely in place all day long.

How to Apply Custom Clip-in Hair Extensions

This video tutorial will show you how to apply Custom clip in hair extensions on short, fine, thin hair. Custom clip-in hair extensions are completely different from the clip-in extensions that can be purchased from a beauty supply store such as Sally's or Ulta. Custom hair extensions are extensions that are designed for particular individual and usually purchased from a hair extensions specialist. I describe it as creating a custom dress for your body type that only you can wear.  

I recommend clients come in for an initial consultation in which we discuss hair type, texture, length and thickness. Afterwards, I perform a hair analysis and take head measurements. These specific measurements taken from different areas of the head is what is used to create the extensions. Lastly, a precise color match is performed to help blend the client's natural hair with the extensions. In some cases the hair extensions have to be highlighted or low lighted to achieve the desired color.

Custom clip-in hair extensions are extremely comfortable, simple and easy to apply. The extensions are made from 100% Indian Remy hair and can be curled, flat ironed or styled just like your own hair. They are also perfect for brides-to-be and special events such as holiday parties or prom. I provide a hands-on tutorial for each client teaching them how to apply the extensions at home. Once most clients get the hang of applying custom clip in hair extensions they can apply them in 5 mins. or less!
