Most people would associate straightening treatments with harsh chemicals that create a quick fix solution and ultimately do the hair more damage than good. The Brazilian Blow Dry is different in that it can rescue dry, damaged and over-processed hair and transform it so it is almost unrecognisable. It can transform even the frizziest, wiriest hair into a shiny, smooth and manageable mane. It does not completely straighten the hair the way that some chemical treatments might, instead it makes the hair much softer so that it is easier to style and blow dry. And more importantly it will take less time to perfect your chosen style, leaving you with more time to go about your daily business.
If you find yourself spending hours in the morning wielding your straightners and battling with your unruly mane then this could be the treatment for you. Women who undergo the Brazilian Blow Dry find that they are spending less time with their straightners and therefore are inflicting less heat damage on to their hair. Does doing away with the straightners in the mornings sound too good to be true? Then lets investigate the scientific explanation behind the treatment. It is an innovative hair-smoothing technique that is rich with keratin and promises to actually improve the condition of your hair. In terms of hair straightening treatments this is innovative as the harsh chemicals previously used affect the elasticity of the hair and may result in it becoming fragile and more prone to breakages.
The Brazilian Blow Dry actually strengthens your tresses by filling the damaged cuticles of the hair with keratin whilst intensively moisturising the hair and softening it beautifully. And the results have been life-changing for some women. As a woman with naturally curly hair, I am always on the look out for new smoothing and straightening products on the market and can fully identify with the frustration of desperately wanting my frizzy curls to magically transform into a smooth and manageable mane that a Disney Princess would be proud of. The Brazilian Blow Dry does not do away with volume and bounce in the same way that conventional methods can do either. Instead the treatment allows the hair to retain its own natural movement and shine. Also there is no need to worry that the fresh growth of hair will appear as a stark contrast to the treated hair as the Brazilian Blow Dry is designed to wash out with time leaving the hair looking natural and healthy.
The process is simple; firstly the hair is washed thoroughly with a clarifying shampoo and then the rich keratin formula is applied. As the hair dries a flat iron is used to seal the solution into the strands of hair, washed out and then a moisturising mask is applied and finally, the hair is treated to a professional blow-dry. People who undergo the treatment are able to wash and go with no fuss probably for the first time in their adult lives. It is only hair at the end of the day but if it means that there is one less thing to worry about in the morning then I think we can all appreciate the merits of that. It is a relatively expensive treatment with prices starting from 200, but women have been reported as saying that the extra long lie-in that they now enjoy in the morning is priceless.

QUESTION:
are there really do it yourself hair extensions?
- are they hard to do
-do they look good* please from someone who has done them before

ANSWER:
We buy my hair extensions off ebay & they look fantastic! First you section the hair off like the hair dresser would to show the hair you are working with & get the hair out of the way that you aren't working with. We bought a special heat gadget which melts the bond on the hair (using nail tip pre-bonded extensions), you then roll the bond between your thumb & finger to make sure it is smooth around the section of hair and then clamp it again with the heat clamp. Many of the ebay sellers offer guides to show you how to apply the extensions. It will take about 4-5 hours first go depending how many extensions you have but we have got it down to 2 hours for mine now - I have about 200 bonds put in each time!To remove them you will need a special acetone solution which breaks down the bond & you then use a pair of special pliers (again off ebay) which breaks the bond & they just slide out of your hair. My extensions cost about £40 a time and last approximately 3 months.
You may want to try clip in extensions too. They are easier to put in & only take a few minutes but I don't think they look as good as the nail tip pre-bonded extensions we use. By the way, in my pic I've got my extentions in!

QUESTION:
is it possible to weave or sew in hair extensions yourself?
i mean instead of glueing or clipping them in. how do you do it and how are they maintained?-
ANSWER:
I have been sewing in my hair myself for over 4 years now and it is really simple. First, I buy my hair (2 packs of hair that is Remy). I choose to braid all of my hair in cornrows going down my head vertically, NOT horizontally or in a circle...this will leave your head with a lump or looking sort of bulky. Personally, I braid ALL hair and wear a closure-piece on top so all of my hair can have a break from styling, but the choice is yours to leave some hair out to cover the last track. Anywho, I take a needle and sewing thread and sew each track onto the braids until completely covered. Last, I attach the closure-piece on the very top of my head. I personally wear my hair long, layered with a thick straight bang across my forehead and it looks fab...I get soooo many compliments of how pretty the style looks along with the softness of the hair. With practice, you will be able to do this yourself....saving roughly 300 dollars if you went to a salon...which sounds like a great idea to me:) Good luck....

QUESTION:
Can you do braid in hair extensions by yourself?
Ive had clip in and glue in, both of which ive done myself. I was wondering if theres a way to do braid in extensions at home, and how.If not, how much does it cost to get them done?
-
ANSWER:
ya you can do it yourself. I've done mine myself. it's a pain in the butt to get the back(use the double mirror technique) and if you want to skip out on cornrows it'll take forever. I use a scarf to hide it inbetween start and finish when leaving the house Rosie the Riveter style.Process:1)divide a section of your own hair about a half inch thick. For cornrows section a full line but be sure to use the first small section to begin the extension.
2)section off a piece of the extension the same width.
3)(optional but I recommend it) divide the extension in two and cross the centres. fold at the cross so that you have a piece the same length and width that are loosly bound at the centre.
4)place the fold (centre if you skipped 3) at the root of your hair. wrap the extension around tightly twice(as though you were winding it around your hair).
5)divide both your hair and the extension into 3. be sure that each 3rd has both hair and extension in it.
6)braid it until you get past your natural hair or to the end.
7)to close the braid section off a tine piece of te extension and wrap around once. pull the extansion down through the top of the wound piece. It can be held with super glue or if at the end and synthetic hair can be finshed by melting the end with a lighter.It sounds really tricky but once you get the hang of it it's a piece of cake. just takes a long time. there are a bunch of youtube videos where you can see what they're doing if it sounds confusing here.

QUESTION:
how to sew in hair extensions yourself?
hi. I have really really REALLYY short hair... at the shortest parts 1.5' and the longest 3'...
and I want to sew in some hair extensions from sallys. I'm extremely low on funds, so please dont just tell me to go to a salon. I'm pretty sure you CAN sew extensions into super short hair. I just need simple steps how to do it. If your a proffesional stylist or learning to be, PLEASE answer! Just imagine you were me and you couldn't go to a salon, how would YOU do it?and I don't expect to be able to have super long hair...just shoulder length would be amazing.
okay, thank you very very very much!
-
ANSWER:
it is going to be extremely hard for you to braid your own hair tight enough to your scalp in order to sew in the extensions with it that short. what i would suggest is making your own clip in extensions if you are low on money. go to a store and buy a pack of track extensions, and clips. cut the extensions to fit along your head. one big panel from ear to ear, three or four panels about 3 inches long for the sides near your face and back at your crown. this will break them up so it blends better. you can also add in more of these short pieces on the bottom. i would say go for at least three rows so it doesnt look thinned out at the bottom. sew the clips to either side of the extensions (it doesnt take long at all), and when you go to put them in, section out the hair and backcomb the hair where the clip will be sitting slightly, just so they dont slip out.if you want a permanent option i would honestly suggest you go to a salon. it will be extremely difficult to sew extensions into your own hair. and even with the clip ins its going to be hard to find a placement that doesnt look mullety. because of this if you do decide to go get extensions i would not suggest a weave but i would go with bonded extensions. whatever you decide it will blend much better as your hair grows out.
good luck!

QUESTION:
How do you put in hair extensions in by yourself?
How do you put them in without them hurting? And it's pretty hard to make sure there all even and stuff-
ANSWER:
Well, it depends what kind of hair extensions you're using. If they're clip ins, then you must part your hair into two separate sections so you can put the extensions in properly. Begin with the bottom part of your hair, use clips or a head band to hold the top half of your hair and clip in the extensions evenly. Once you're done putting them in, let down the rest of your hair and blend it in with the extensions, comb your real hair over the extensions to prevent the extensions from showing. Do the same with the bottom half. Do the same with the top half of your hair. Use hairspray to ensure volume.

QUESTION:
answers ASAP!! how to sew in hair extensions yourself?
does anyone know how to sew in hair extension in a way that can be worn down or up ina ponytail? how long will it take??a site with instructions wud b nice
-
ANSWER:
Well first do you know how to do cornrows? If you do you go to the beauty supply store and get a curved needle. Then you get some thread also from the beauty supply store. I suggest you start in the back. Part you hair and leave some out in the back. corn row the hair then begin to sew. Leave 2 inches of hair a round the edges. then you alternate the tracks and the unbarided hair that way when you wear it in a pony tail or down it will look like your own. E-mail me if you need more help. It should take about one hour.

QUESTION:
Can you put keratin hair extensions in by yourself?
I have all of the stuff to do them but is it possible to do it myself correctly? Hubby was going to help but he's taking to damn long lol-
ANSWER:
I wouldnt personnally. Its going to be hard to do the back correctly. Maybe try and get a friend to help, or take all your stuff to a salon, that way your only paying for labour. Generally they charge an hour to do this, but it shouldnt take that long... My guess would be it would cost you around 0-150

QUESTION:
What is the best do-it-yourself method of hair extensions?
I really want to do my own hair extensions this time around, and I don't mind spending more money. I am Caucasian, and I have coarse, thick hair that's a little more than 5 inches long.If given the choice, I'd love to have something that will last a while and feel less like extensions. My boyfriend also likes to pull on my hair, but I don't know if that's possible with any method.
Any thoughts you can offer would be great!
Excellent! Thanks for all your input. I glued on a weft. Now how to cut it so it's layered (since the top is only 5 inches long). Anyone know of any instructional videos/websites? Thank you!-
ANSWER:
The best thing is to go to a beauty supply store (like Sally's) and get HUMAN HAIR extensions. They come in a number of lengths ranging from 8 to 18 inches. You can cut or even dye them if you want. I would NOT reccomend getting synthetic hair though, because it looks extremely fake. Also, you can buy these extensions with or without clips on the weft (the top part that connects to your hair). Or, you can buy your own clips and glue or sew them to the weft yourself (which is a whole lot cheaper!) Hope this helped!

QUESTION:
Can you put in Fusion micro bead hair extensions by yourself?
I use clip in extensions and one day at work a customer told me she did Fusion hair extensions at the salon were she works at. That got me thinking and I did some research on them. I watched videos on YouTube on the supplies you need for the extensions and how to apply them to hair. So then I bought a 100pc remi human hair extensions next I'm going to buy all the tools. I figured that since I'm really good at parting my hair with my clip in extensions that applying my own micro bead extensions wouldn't be that difficult for me to do. And going to the Solon to get it done would coast much more and then even more to tough them up or take them out. I'm not going to to try and put them in with a mirror in front of me and in back of me. Do you think its possible for someone to do this themselves? If so why are all the You Tube tutorials done with models?-
ANSWER:
I believe you can do that on your own. It's not really hard.
Try to find a really good Youtube video to do it.

How much would average quality sewn in extensions be, plus the cut ?
Or anyone have any idiot proof ways of cutting extensions into your hair yourself?
or any good tutorials?
Im on youtube at the moment but its not great..-
ANSWER:
Getting extensions are not that easy, like buying shoes.People waste tons of money on extensions because it's the new trend. Without doing much research. Then, they come to YA HAIR and ask us questions on how to clip it on their hair, if they can go swimming, play sports, if they can dye or perm, etc.
It's really not that simple! Then again, it will not work out if you have thin hair, the clip will be showing through! How embarrassing will that be, if it keeps falling out from your head, if it's not on right!?!

Jessica Simpson & Paris Hilton don't even use their own hair extensions, plus they have stylists to do them in photo shoots or travel with them. Jessica was photographed, showing her clip-ons during a windy day.
BTW: The 29-year-old socialite was sued Wednesday 8-12-10 in Los Angeles for allegedly breaching a contract to promote and wear hair extensions manufactured by Hairtech International Inc. The company is seeking million in damages — 10 times what it paid Hilton for her endorsement. Hairtech claimed Hilton did not wear the company's extensions as promised and missed a launch party in 2007 because she was in jail. The lawsuit claims Hilton agreed to wear Hairtech International Inc.'s extensions, but sported the fake locks of a competitor in 2008.Do you think you'll have time for school, trying to put on hair extensions over 1 hour every morning?

QUESTION:
Glue in/ bonded hair extensions?
First off I know its bad for hair. I already have clip ins but i want something more permanent and that i wont have to place in every day.
1. How much does a hairdresser charge to do extensions?
2. Can you buy the hair yourself and then have them put it in your hair so it would be cheaper?
3. So I guess..How much does the hair itself cost and how much does the labour required by the hairdresser cost?I'm so confused..geez.
Help please?-
ANSWER:
A hairdresser will charge a lot to put in extensions if you have to get the hair from them as well. I bought mine at a local store (hair depot) for about 35 dollars. Please do not buy the Jessica Simpson hair. I guess my answer is assuming you are white and I think a lot of white girls feel they have to pay a lot of money to get the quality of hair extensions that our minority sisters have been getting for years. Just make sure it is real human hair. I took my glue in extensions to a friend who only charged me 20bucks to put them in. I also had to buy the glue. Make sure if you have dark hair get the black glue but if you have light hair get the clear glue. Unfortunately the clear glue does not hold as well. Most hairdressers will put them in for you even if you have bough them elsewhere. I had my hairdresser dye mine to match my hair for a minimal charge.
Good luck!
Also, when you are trying to remove them all you need is a long shower, an ultra moisturizing hair mask and a fine tooth comb and they should slide right out.
Avoid washing every day, getting conditioner on your roots or using anything with an oil base because with will break down the glue bond.

QUESTION:
Help.... About hair extensions?
o.k so I was thinking of getting hair extensions..
I want real hair. But do you have to get the hair yourself and then they like bond it in? Or does the Salon all ready have it.? Please help..
I have never had extensions before.
I want the bonding..
I don't care about the price much
Its just for the real hair do you have to get the hair yourself?? and the salon puts it in?
Or do they get it for you?-
ANSWER:
most salons that do the bonded or glued in extensions buy the hair for you, but include it in the price of the service. depending on how good of quality you want for real hair, the price for extensions can be anywhere from 0+. the hair gets ordered by the ounce, usually taking at least 2-3 ounces to do the whole head.

QUESTION:
Best hair extensions- hot pink?
I wanted to add some color to my look, but since my hair is very long (down to my chest) and dark, I thought some of the "do it yourself" hair pieces would be nice so I dont have to strip the color. I want to do hot pink

Does anyone know a good brand for these hair pieces? Are they hard to do? I see them all over the place on ebay in sets of 6, I just dont know what brand to choose!

QUESTION:
Where can I buy the metal ring tubing that is used for hair extensions?
I want to put hair extensions in my hair since doing it yourself is cheaper than doing it at a salon. And everyone is using the silicon bead, and I don't like that since it pops out and hard to put in so I am looking for the metal clamp that is using used for hair extensions.-
ANSWER:
If you use a metal bead it means you won't be able to bleach your hair or use permanent dyes on it, so just be aware of that. Metal reacts adversely to those type of dyes.

QUESTION:
would you kill yourself if your hair extension fell out in public?
I am a girl and just went iceskating and i am severly depressed. why? because my stupid friend ruined my day. it was me 2 guys and 5 girls. i was just begginging to have fun, getting the hang of skating, when my klutzy friend grabbed my hair in the back and my hair extensions came right out onto the ice. I was so embaressed that i ran off the ice crying like a screeching monkey slipping and falling a few times, in a complete fluster of anger, sadness, and embaressment. I ruined everyones fun time because i couldnt stop crying and they all stood their. By the time i was done, the session was over and i coudnt skate. I was so sad. I really wanted to skate. It was so much fun. But now all i can think about is how much i want to die. on he car ride home everyone talked and laughed. I just stared out the window. I was to depressed to talk to anyone. Now i am home and I looked at my hair extension.almost all of the hair was ripped out of it and it looked horrible. the thing alone costed 300 dollars. I cant make my parents buy me another one, its to much to ask. I only had it since chistmas. to make this situation even worse, my friend died yesterday, and this was all to cheer me up. So wat do i do? do i kill myself? i cant face school. they all know me for my flowing locks. I got them cause they take away from how ugly i am. So now im just plain me. i cant go on. Does anyone at all have one reason that i should live? please help me i really dont want to die, but i feel i have to.-
ANSWER:
Before you kill yourself think about how stupid evry one will think you were for killing yourself over such a stupid thing like hair.

QUESTION:
How long do Micro Loop Hair Extensions last?
You are able to do it yourself/with a friend? does it damage your hair? is it hard to remove?-
ANSWER:
I know that it takes like 15 minutes, so not long at all. So yeah you could do it with your friend. I don't think it damages your hair because your not gluing the hair on or anything, just putting it through a loop. No, they are hard to remove. You just take your hair out of the tightened loop. I don't know how long they last though, my estimate is probably around a half a month or so. Maybe longer. (:

QUESTION:
Is it possible to buy professional like extensions, but, put them in at home yourself?
Is there any where or any place you can do this at? My mom used to be a beautician, but, she doesn't know alot about hair extensions, but, she catches on fast. Anyways, is there a way to buy professional like extensions that aren't as costly and aren't clip-ons that you can put in at home?
But, don't clip-ons look a bit fake looking?
(Just asking, never had them before)And anyone know about how much this would cost?
-
ANSWER:
If your mom has been a hairdresser then she probably will catch on fast like you said. Try www.yourhairshop.com. You can order them on there (you will need 150 to 200 pieces, more if your hair is short or thick but if your hair is longer and thinner you can opt for just 150 pieces) buy the kera-tip “U” shaped ones. These last about 2-6 months. You will also need to buy the bonding tool, which is about . look on the website, it shows you proper bonding and proper placement. Hope this helps, good luck!

QUESTION:
Do clip in hair extensions fall out?
I have a couple of questions about clip in hair extensions:
do they fall out?
can you do it yourself and how long does it take you?
can you go to sleep with them on?-
ANSWER:
It depends on what hair extensions you are buying
Some come pre-clipped and some you have to sew the clips on yourself
The majority of the clips you will get will be fine but obviously if you dont pay alot then they're just going to be standard. It's a case of trial and error but, No, they don't fall out if theyre decent quality.
I used to have a weave and i now PREFER clip in extensions because theyre easier!
I do mine myself, i wear alot of them because i love my hair thick and long, over all it takes me around 40 minutes? thats straightening as i go along and being generally fussy with my hair haha, but they can tae only 10 minutes!
its not advised to sleep with them in, obviously if you're going out in the night and you just wanna come home and sleep instaed of having to worry about taking your hair out then yeah one night shouldnt do any harm but it wont be comfy!
if you do sleep with them in, plait them to the side, just to stop them getting knotty and to keep them in a better condition.
hope this helps, anything else you wanna know just ask

QUESTION:
About how much would hair extensions cost?
The ones you do yourself. I've had the clip in ones and they didn't work for me. I'm on a fixed budget so I need something not to expensive. I have shoulder length hair and it just takes forever to grow, and I love long hair. Thanks for the help!-
ANSWER:
Cost depends on a number of factors. The type of hair extension, the amount of hair used, the length of hair or the look desired. Also, geography plays a part. NYC, LA, Chicago, will be more expensive that smaller towns across the USA, due to expenses incurred by the salon.A top of the line hair extension system like Great Lengths, HairDreams, Remylinks, will cost more because of the premium nature of the hair. It costs the salon more money to buy, hence the added costs to the customer. To add body to hair, figure you need 0 and up, to add length, figure 00 and up.
There are more affordable methods. In general with what I said earlier, the duration the extension lasts, plays a factor in price also. If it last a couple of months, it will be cheaper than something that lasts up to 6 months. You can get a system like UltraTress and Simplicity for around 0, which is an affordable option.
Be careful just judging on price. If it cost 0 for full head of hair extensions, stay away. They will probably destroy your hair.
Use only 100% Natural Remy Human Hair Extensions. Avoid Synthetic, and make sure the person is a licensed hair dresser.

QUESTION:
How do you cornrow extensions in yourself? (No salon?)?
I bought blonde (so I can dye them), real human hair extensions back in May from Sally's. I haven't gone to the salon, nor will I (My mum thinks it's way too expensive anyways). Can anyone tell me how to cornrow the extensions in my real hair?Details please. By the way, don't tell me to go the salon, because I won't, and can't! Thank you.
-
ANSWER:
Well, what you bought are actually called weaves, and the chances of you sewing them in and looking good arent great. (no offense , its just very difficult) I've had weaves for years , and you need to be able to corn braid extremely tight braids in about 3 straight rows around your head where you want the extensions. Getting these breads tight and straight enough on your own in almost impossible, and using a needlie and thread on the back of your head could probably end up with you getting poked a few times.I'd reccomend finding a friend to give you a hand, or someone who knows how to corn bread. You also need to tighten them about every month or so , so you'd have to re - do this yourself alot. I know you said no suggestions to go to the salon, but i know mine only costs 5 dollars a row, so if youve only got 2, that is fairly cheap.
Good look though! =)

QUESTION:
Which is better- a weave, clip in or glue hair extensions?
I've been wanting extensions for a while now & I was wondering which choice would be the best & the cheapest. I want real hair bc I style my hair a lot. My hair is pretty thin so I don't want anything that would really damage it. I was also wondering if you can just do them yourself. Thanks:)-
ANSWER:
clip ins for sure! they are a) your cheapest option.(can go from +) b) easy to style and wear. c) you can remove them when you feel like itweaves are not only REALLY painful and can run you up to a couple grand to buy, but they are also really damaging. especially with your thin hair it'll be hard to hide the tracks that you'd need to have done. with clip ins you just hide the first couple clips with your natural hair and then can hide the other clips from other pieces with the pieces you already have in! glue hair extensions are very tedious! if done wrong (4/5 chance they'll be done wrong) you'll constantly need to re glue them, and you'll have to constantly worry about the glue when styling your hair, washing it, etc. they are a huge hassle. you definitely don't get your bang for your buck.
with clip ins just make sure you get them cut and dyed to match your normal hair AND DON'T FORGET to heat treat alll the hair pieces. if you style your hair with heat tools you need to heat treat them to a) preserve the life of them. b) keep them damage free. and you will need to buy new ones every year or so providing you keep them in good condition. and remember to wash then every month or so, sometimes every 2 weeks if you use a lot of product. remember that with fake hair you are forking out a lot of cash don't take the cheapest extension option you can find becase it might not be the best. make sure they're worth it.
also, don't restraighten/recurl/etc your extensions everytime you curl,straighten,scrunch,etc. your hair. it damages them more quickly and if it's a good brand of extension they shouldn't need to be restyled everyday.

QUESTION:
How much does it cost to get hair extensions put in?
I don't want clip ins or do it yourself ones. I'm not sure about length but about how much do they run?-
ANSWER:
Ok, Lets break down your options with extensions:There are different types of extensions. Weaves, glue in, fusion, micro links are most common.
Weaves last about a month, and are uncomfortable and damaging. Cost about 0-0
Fusion is better and uses i-tipped or u-tipped hair, they are attached using a bonding keratin glue, strand by strand (well not individual strands, but small pieces). These are damaging and can cause breakage leaving your very sort as it breaks at the glue point.Cost 0-00, last 3-6 months. Hair is garbage when done.
Micro links are the best of the options. They use I-tipped hair and are connected using a small "bead". The best thing about micro links is that the hair is reusable as there is no glue involved, and if you want to keep them longer than the recommended 4-6 months you simply move up the bead. These cost between 0-00+
You can cut costs by buying your own hair. You want to buy Remy Human Hair, this hair can be cut, dyed whatever, you treat it as your own. With the exception of washing, you cant wash all different types more than 2-3 times a week. If you need help finding good quality affordable hair please let me know.
I find Clip In Extensions to be the most cost effective, natural, non damaging method there is. Especially since your new to extensions, that's what you should go with. Sally's has good ones, and also ebay.
If you need more help, let me know. But seriously, I started with weaves, then did fusion, then did microlinks, and honestly, clip ins are just great, I wouldnt use anything else. I feel sick knowing I spent like over 0 in a month on extension, when I can spen 0 on clip ins and it looks the most natural. If you need more help, just let me knowbtw, clip ins are generally around 0-0, but i get mine off ebay now from seller cliphair.ltd I wouldnt buy hair from anyone else now. I get a full set of 20" Real hair for , The clips are small but strong, they clip amazing and they arent noticeable at all, i love them!
