Colour matching? Colour blending!

March 12th, 2010

We get a lot of feedback about what colour to buy and how match hair with clip in hair extensions. We say – it’s not about matching…it’s about blending! You might have the right colour in you hands but not even know it! The trick is to try it out and get used to the new look.

1. First of all, always take the piece out of the box and try it on! You just can’t judge whether a colour will suit you until you put it on.

2. Next, don’t judge the colour match on hair extensions at the root of the hair where you clip them in. Most people’s hair is darker at the roots, especially blondes. Remember, nobody sees the top of the hair since you let your natural hair down over top. (See the pics below)

3. Get used to it! It might sound silly but the look of your new hair will be transforming, especially for those of us with shorter and finer hair. We’re talking about added length, body and volume thanks to those clip in hair extensions. Get used to the total look and have a play with the hair.

4. Practice makes perfect. If you have darker hair at the roots you may be worried about the clip in hair extensions showing a bit at the top. First of all, stop worrying…the hair extension police aren’t out there to bust you!  They are practically undetectable when you first pop them in. But with a little practice, you’ll know exactly where to put them in and how to style your hair so it looks the most natural.

Ken’s favourite things

February 9th, 2010

Celebrity stylist Ken Paves was featured recently in Hello magazine. Asked about his secret beauty weapons, he mentioned a few of our faves. Batiste dry shampoo is perfect for days when you don’t want to properly wash your hair. You spray a little in and give your hair a brush. It adds volume and is so good for prepping to put in our clip in hair extensions. If your putting on a clip-in or wrap pony, Blax hair bungees are amazing too. And of course, his HairDo Jessica Simpsons wrap pony and clip in fringe are on his list!

Spotted on Gordon Ramsay!

January 21st, 2010

OK – not actually on Gordon Ramsay but on his show the F Word. We were catching up on episode the other night and what did we see? What looks like our braided headband on one of the diners! Here he is having a chat with her and the next shot is her sullen look as she waits far too long for her mains. Poor girl. But hey, the braid looks fab on her and just goes to show that they’re still hot!

Save your scrunchie!

January 12th, 2010

One of the best secrets when wearing a hair scrunchie wrap that we can share is to use a hair chopstick. By hooking the hair around the chopstick rather than winding it directly around your ponytail, you’ll make your scrunchie last longer as there will bet much less friction. Watch our video to find out how. You can use the chopstick with all our scrunchies including the super popular new Stylemaker.

Posh on YouTube

December 21st, 2009

Just posted our Posh video to YouTube. The Posh clip-in pony is truly versatile as a long pony, a casual updo as demonstrated in the video or you can turn this pony into a chic chignon as pictured on the product page. It’s like 3 ponytails in one!

We found it!

December 9th, 2009

We found the Hello! article! A little while ago we casually mentioned that we sent a set of hair extensions to Martine McCutcheon’s stylist for a photoshoot. The result is amazing…her hair looks full and gorgeous. Really completes the sensuous and voluptous look they were going for. We sent her our 19″ human hair extensions.
