What is a hair extension?
Hair extension is a term in
a broad category of hair addition products that add synthetic or
natural human hair for longer, fuller, thicker hair with improved
or different texture and enhanced or a altered color.
Hair additions can be a hairpiece that is
clipped in for a day, a weft that is clipped, glued or sewn in for
a month or individual extensions that are braided in, braids that
are sewn in and hair extensions applied by metal clamps, glue,
wax, plastic shrink tube or polymer base and worn for 6 – 24
weeks.
Hair Extensions of Texas uses Cold Fusion Human Hair Extensions
that can be worn for up to 6 months.
Why use hair extensions?
Hair extensions provide
the professional stylist the opportunity to make a dramatic change
in the overall appearance of the hair and it's wearer.
Properly applied, hair extensions can provide unlimited choices
in style, color, length, thickness and texture. Extensions add
dimension like thicker bangs or a wispy fringe that would take
months or years to grow. Bad haircuts can be corrected with just a
few well placed extensions in spot areas. Hair extensions are a
great new tool to experiment with new styles and colors. For the
person suffering from thin hair due to illness, aging or heredity,
hair extensions can provide healthy, thick, beautiful, natural
looking hair in almost any length, color or style. Extensions can
take years off a client's appearance.
Are hair extensions comfortable?
The term hair extension
describes a number of various forms and techniques for adding
hair. In our studio we use tiny individual bundles of 100% human
hair applied by experienced professionals using Hair Extensions of
Texas’ exclusive, revolutionary techniques and tools. Properly
applied, hair extensions are the most comfortable to wear, the
longest lasting, the least detectable and the kindest to your own
hair!
Will hair extensions damage existing hair?
The integrity of the
client’s own hair is never compromised! Hair Extensions of Texas'
salon owner Crystal Ann uses and has developed techniques
that are absolutely state-of-the-art in hair extensions.
Traditional glues, hot waxes and sewing, shrink
tubing and metal clamps are often
damaging to hair; these methods are not used in the
Hair Extensions of Texas System. Instead, a pre-bonded 100% human
hair strand is seamlessly integrated with individual hair strands
using a durable polymer similar to the natural Keratin protein
found in human hair.
Are hair extensions easily detected?
The point of attachment
is virtually invisible and provides unlimited styling options. We
work with different sized polymer bonds that are the same color as
the hair strand. The average bond is about the circumference of
grain of rice and can be as small as the tip of a toothpick. This
permits the application of very fine strands in areas where other
hair systems cannot be used because of the difficulty of
disguising the point of attachment.
Do hair extensions require special care?
After the application,
the hair can be treated and styled just like the client’s own
natural hair. As with any new style, the hair professional teaches
the client styling and maintenance techniques and recommends
appropriate hair care products.
How long can hair extensions be worn?
Applications can be
worn for up to 6 months and reused for up to one year.
How durable are hair extensions?
The polymer bond meshes
with the individual hair strands rather than merely coating the
surface of the natural hair. The resulting bond is extremely
resilient, allowing strands that will withstand the most vigorous
lifestyles for up to 6 months!
How long does it take to have hair
extensions applied?
From the time of your consultation, you
can have your custom extensions applied as early as the next day.
If your deposit, which is usually 50% of the balance by cash or
100% of the balance by check, is paid before 2pm on
Monday-Thursday your extensions can be ordered for the next day
after 11am. Otherwise, your extensions can be ordered and arrive
within 3 days of receipt of payment. Deposits are always required
PRIOR to your extensions being ordered. If you are wanting to have
them applied quickly after the consultation, it is advisable to
come prepared.
The length of time needed for application varies
depending on the number of hair extensions be applied, existing
hair condition and style, and the look to be achieved. A full
style change would obviously take much longer than repairs to fill
in shape. Applications typically take anywhere from 2-4 hours to
complete. The average lengthening and thickening process takes
about 3 hours.
