MicroLink hair extensions, аlѕо knоwn аѕ mісrо rings оr micro loop hair extensions is one of my favorite hair extensions techniques. It's done by taking strands of hair and attaching them to your natural hair. They are jоіnеd by a рlаѕtіс or copper rіng, closed flаt аnd tіghtlу, so the ѕtrаndѕ wоn't slip off. Thеу аrе соnсеаlеd аmоng уоur natural hаіr so that уоur frіеndѕ won't nоtісе іt unless you tell thеm уоur secret. Because the beads have a protective lining, your hair is cushioned and protected inside the bead. This helps to protect your hair from damage.
The other big benefit of microlink hair extensions is that the hair is reusable. With proper maintenance & aftercare, the hair can last up to 9 months or longer before they need to be replaced.
It fееlѕ grеаt tо lооk gorgeous with your beautiful hаіr. Aѕ tо the соnfіdеnсе іt brings, уоu wіll definitely feel thаt thе mоnеу уоu hаvе іnvеѕtеd on іt іѕ wоrth іt. It іѕ аlѕо important that you іnvеѕt еnоugh time and effort tо уоur еxtеnѕіоnѕ' аftеrсаrе.

What is Balayage and Why Do We Love It?

Balayage IS THE HOTTEST NEW HAIR TREND

As opposed to standard highlighting methods that use foil or a cap, Balayage is strictly freehand where the color is painted on. You can amplify the hue to vary from a soft wash to bright and bold depending on your personal preference. When applying the color for a Balayage, you sweep the color through small triangle sections of the hair onto a board or foil, creating a natural transition down into the lighter color. In Balayage, there are dark pieces left on the bottom to create dimension and a more natural look. This technique looks like beautiful sun-kissed highlights throughout your hair. Outside of very short cropped hair, it can work on a variety of hair lengths, textures and colors, making it truly universal and flattering for ALL women. Most are drawn towards it because the maintenance level is relatively low; many are able to go four months between color treatments. Need a little Balayage, make an appointment today with our Color, Balayage/Ombre & Color Expert Natalie Rednour.

New color and New Look for Summer!

Just like the seasons change, so can our hair! Be creative and alter your style, your daily routine outlook and your short hairstyle. In all, it’s time to change. New Year, New You!
It's just about to begun and there won’t be any better time than this to modify your style statement a little (or more) according to what you love. Just changing the way you dress might not bring an enormous and noticeable change you want, so why not try changing your hairstyle? A new cut, new color or extensions.
Hairstyles are the best way to makeover yourself and your personality. They completely change your personality and outlook into “poles apart” directions versus your daily and boring appearance. And if you decide to get your hair colored than you are going to look hip and different for sure! Coloring your hair has developed through time and women of all ages and especially young girls love it. This concept has lately grown so popular. In early times only some specific hair colors were thought to be wearable and decent but nowadays, every color is on the table. From blonde to brown and from red to tango; no color is off limits! So, be creative! Want ideas? Well here they are!

How To Keep Your BlowOut Fresh For A Week

How To: Make Your BlowOut Last

It’s almost holiday season, the busiest time of year, which means you hardly have time to swipe on lipstick, much less blow out your hair. Since looking anything less than gorgeous isn’t an option, we’ve come up with a creative solution. Below is our ultimate guide to making your blow out last an entire week.

The Blowout

Tip: When you’re getting a blowout at a salon, ask the stylist to use little or no product. A drop or two of serum to protect from the heat and smooth frizz should be sufficient; any more and you’ll be weighed down with product by the end of the week. If you’re doing it yourself, take time to really do it right, with a diffuser and round brush. 

Day 1

We know it's hard, but don't touch your hair. Touching it stimulates oil production and the oil for your hands will start to weigh it down. You'll lose volume and we don't want that! We know it's old school but, Before bed, wrap hair loosely in a silk scarf.

Day 2

Your hair should still be in pretty good condition today. Use a comb to part hair an inch or two further to the side for some extra volume. Again, avoid touching!

Day 3

By now, your hair is probably starting to look and feel a bit limp. Revive roots with a restyling spray like Kenra's Daily Defense leave in conditioner. Spray it on your roots before using a round brush and hairdryer to refresh your strands. Trust us, it’s not cheating.

Day 4

Dry shampoo is your best friend. We like to use a powder version like MoroccanOil Dry Shampoo, which comes in light and dark and effectively soaks up excess oil and makes roots look fresh. Apply it to the crown of your head and then let it sit for a minute before brushing hair to remove any signs of the powder.

Day 5

One of the best reasons to skip shampoo is that it’s much easier to style dirty hair. Unwashed hair has the texture to stay in place, plus pesky flyaways won’t get in the way. Apply more dry shampoo at your roots as well as a MoroccanOil's heat protectant before curling hair with a curling iron. Bouncy waves will camouflage any dirtiness.

Day 6

When we think of dirty hair, we think of perfect braids. Without wispies and flyaways to worry about, your plaits are better than ever and no one will realize you haven’t washed in days.

Day 7

You finally made it! Before you run for the shower we have one more style up our sleeve. Use a texturizing dry shampoo like MoroccanOil Dry Shampoo Spray to majorly boost your volume and create a trendy topknot. 

We hope this helped to give you great ideas and alternatives to keep your Blowout looking fabulous, styled and gorgeous. We want you to be beautiful with little to no time and effort.
