THE POWER OF HAIR.

Hair can be one of our most powerful and seductive accessory',we always have it with us – and its often the key between a gal looking and feeling average or truly stunning.

It can make or break how we feel about ourselves,and our image.

In the documentary, Good Hair, produced by Chris Rock, Maya Angelou says, "Hair is a woman's glory." Glory, self-worth, social acceptance and beauty are all tangled up in every woman's hair. Why is good hair so important for women?

How powerful is it?

Hair is like a picture frame that crops a photo (your face).It can bring focus to where you see beauty in your face. For example fringes will bring attention to the eyes and soft layers below the chin can distract from a week jaw line.

If you are doing display sports, competition dancing or performances ,hair and appearance is even more important. Depending on your style , you'll want a hair style that matches the spirit of what you're doing.

Still, just because we know hair is one of the females most powerful allies's doesn't mean we know how to full make use of it when we’re dancing

A hair flip, like any sexy use of hair, casts a very potent spell, and is also a powerful and cunning tool for hiding quick movements/hand changes during complicated pole moves.

Hair is an important prop for the dancer. It frames the face, highlighting the features, and can be used to catch the audience's attention

Hair extensions

Lets face it we aren't all blessed with long flowing locks so luckily for us mere mortals using hair extensions provides us with so many more possibilities then nature untended, not only can you achieve long luscious locks, but create body, texture and introduce new colours/themes with strategically placed extensions. Micro loop want to introduce a different effect. Just a few highlights or flashes of colour can give you a change of look, whether it is subtle or dramatic, a great way to experiment without commitment to dyes and bleach.

The advancement in hair extensions Over the last few years means they are virtually undetectable , and thankfully long gone are the days of knobbly irritating glue bonds.

Of course the type of extensions you chose will depend on your life style.

Micro loop

Of all the recent advancements in hair extensions by far the best is the no glue Micro loop system.

No glue, no chemicals, quick application time , and easy enough to be done by yourself at home (although you may need to enlist a good friend for the back).

The Micro Ring installation and removal system is one of the easiest hair extension systems available on the market. This technique can be done on all types of hair.

Great for short to medium term wear. Micro Loop is the smallest and most undetectable Hair Extension technique available, which combines fine strands of your natural hair with the extension hair.

Hair is cushioned in a small covered bead which is pinched to secure, great for sporty types , as they stay put until link bead is un-pinched with pliers.

These small beads come in different colours of metal and are covered with plastic (colour determined by hair colour) which provides a comfortable cushion for hair. The rings clamp securely in place and will not slip out even during the most challenging of activities.

There is no glue, no heat, just luscious locks, so simple to apply, and there is no damage to your own hair.

Micro Ring extensions should last up to three months before needing to be removed/reinstalled/tightened.

Wear your hair with style and confidence .

Remy (also spelled Remi) hair extensions are considered the best hair extensions choices out there. Read on to discover the facts behind Remy hair extensions and why it should be number one on your hair extension wish list.

Remy hair is harvested, and stored carefully so that all the cuticles face in the same direction. In other words, they work to make sure that the hair is managed in a way that it does not get jumbled around or turned in different directions. The allows the hair cuticle layers to lay in the same direction so that it will not tangle and mat up on your head.. Remy hair does not mean that it only comes from India. Remy hair can also come from Brazil and Native Americans. All three of these cultures have a similar texture of thick, straight hair.

You can match Remy hair extensions to nearly any hair texture. Caucasian, African American or Spanish. You name it, Remy can blend in it. And there's nothing worse than a beautiful head of luxury hair extensions that just won't blend in with your natural hair, this is evident when you can TELL someone is wearing hair extensions, which we don't want. Remy hair is said to be the best type of hair extensions available. Out of the entire human hair category, remy hair gives the most natural appearance. It is the preferred choice for wigs and hairpieces because of its appealing qualities. It is also referred to as cuticle hair, virgin hair and raw hair.

Remy Facts.

You can tell if Remy hair is authentic or not in several ways. First of all, if it is priced considerably lower than Remy hair then you should be suspicious

1.Remy hair feels cool to the touch.
2.Remy hair is hair that has been collected by a hair donor. The cuticles are not stripped and remain aligned in one direction.
3. Remy hair has a smoother, shinier, and healthier appearance than regular human hair. When washed, it will not mat and tangle. Virgin Remy hair has not been chemically processed; this hair is raw and natural in other terms. Non-virgin Remy hair underwent some sort of chemical processing in order to achieve another colour.

4. look at the hair. It should have a lighter colour at the bottom than at the top. This will indicate that all the hairs are running in the same direction. Finally feel the hair by running it between your fingers from top to bottom, it should feel smooth and sleek. Run your fingers in the opposite direction and it should feel rougher (do this to your own hair, see what I mean)

Wherever you purchase your hair extensions, do your home work,and make sure the hair is Remy, but most of all , feel good and love your hair.
