Things You Should Know Prior to Purchasing Curly Hair

No two people will have hair growth in the same direction, and that determines where and how hair will fall. Since our hair is harvested from various people,  the curl may differ from unit to unit.

Before you choose the length and type of hair you want, make sure you take all things into account, not just the length of hair but also the climate in which you live. If you want your hair to fall below your shoulders you should choose a longer length. How much longer will depend on how tightly curled the hair is. 

• Add 4 inches for tightly curled hair. If you want your curled hair to visually end in the same place your straight 18 inch hair ends
• Add 2 inches for medium curl
• 1 inch for loose wavy hair

You should also take into consideration that curly hair will also expand or contract based on whether it’s a rainy day or a dry day. Rainy or humid climates will cause the hair to contract, and, depending on the hair, look frizzy. 

Dry weather will cause the curl to expand and look longer.

In the summer, or warm weather climates with lots of moisture in the air,  medium curls spring to life with volume. In this same situation tight curls can get frizzy if proper products are not used.

The opposite will take place in the winter or colder climates when medium curls can loose their bounce and suffer from static and tight curls lengthen and come to life.

Perfect Eyebrows (the most overlooked, yet very important little detail)

I can't tell you how many times I've seen women out there looking like they took a cue from the rapper Drake's song  (you know the little ditty...nails done, hair done, everything big), but they leave out one of the most important features of their face.  The eyes!  A well shaped brow can make even the simplest makeup look elegant.  On glammed out makeup it just makes your eyes POP!  Your eyebrows should frame your face, and draw the right kind of attention to your eyes.

Eyebrows should follow the natural shape of YOUR face.  Just because it looks good on Megan Fox doesn't mean it's going to look good on YOU.  Your face shape has a lot to do with the shape of brow you should have.  Getting your eyebrow done is one of the quickest, most affordable makeovers you can get.  The best eyebrow threading I ever had cost me $2!  Threading typically costs about $5-$10.  Waxing about $8-$10.  Once you get them professionally done, maintaining the shape yourself is fairly easy.

Megan Fox and her perfect brows

Common brow mistakes:

Wild and Untamed - You can have a heavier thicker brow, but even then you need some clean-up.  This goes for men too.

Shaved off - drawn on - Anytime I've seen this look, it's usually drawn on in the wrong spot, either arched waaaay to high, or no arch at all.  Once I saw a lady with staple shaped eyebrows.  Just makes you look clueless, no matter how well you're dressed, or how well you've applied your make-up.

No Eyebrows- In this case, I would recommend getting some eyebrow stencils, a good brow brush, and some eyebrow shadow.  Fill in those brows!

The Unibrow - NEVER looks good.  That goes for both males and females. One little strip of wax can make such a difference.

Over-plucking - this just makes your brown way too thin, and doesn't leave you much to work with.  Best in this case to allow your brows to grow back as much as they can, and have them professionally shaped.  Yes, there are brow specialist out there!

Tip for Instantly Glossy Hair

Eventually hair color will begin to fade.   A trick to combat this without a re-color  involves water, vinegar and lavender oil. 

I suggest the following be done on clean hair:

Combine 1 cup cold water, 1 cup distilled vinegar (available at the grocery store) and a few drops of lavender oil (to counter the smell of the vinegar). 

The acidity in the vinegar will super close the cuticle leaving you with the shiniest hair ever!

Using Hair Extensions for Your Wedding Style

It's the day you've dreamed about since you were a little girl.  You've already bought the perfect dress.  You've ordered the perfect flowers and the perfect cake.  You got your make-up all planned out...perfectly, of course.  But what are you going to do with your shoulder-length bob cut, when you really have something else in mind entirely.  It's not like you can grow 6 inches or more of hair overnight.  Or can you???...

If you're thinking of adding volume and length to your hair, extensions would be the way to go.

Whether you have them sewn in, or simply clipped in, is up to you.

For your wedding day, why skimp by using low quality hair?  You want to look your best. Why not start out by using the best?
