How To Fix Split Ends

Split ends who doesn't have them??

Would you believe that your hair extensions can get split ends? Yes its true. If you wear Virgin or Remy human hair, it is possible. Weaves that have the cuticle intact can have/get split ends. With Florida's bipolar weather flatironing your hair and keeping it straight may be a challenge! Trying to "get that model look" everyday can cause terribly split, dry and brittle hair:-(..........I thought that weave could withstand anything. Hmmmm, guess, I was wrong! After the heat styling I had to trim my weave hair because it looked limp and lifeless. If this happens with weaves, it can definately happen to your natural hair!

"Whooo......I guess I burnt my hair, darn! It's coming out!

The Biggest culprit that helps us distroy our hair is............drumroll................HEAT, HEAT AND MORE HEAT! We all like our hair to look super sleek and silky and this of course is done through heat styling. Heat styling can be great but of course in moderation. You can fry the ends of your hair by using a flat iron or curling iron. Always pay close attention to your temperature. 400 is too high for everyday use! Turn it down to about 200 - 300 depending on hair texture and density. Don't forget to use a heat protector. Some of us use hair straighteners/ flat irons that do not have a setting. Make sure to check settings in your instructional manual of your flat iron to be sure of how hot it can get, to avoid damaging your hair. Its always best to purchase one with adjustable settings!

Last but not least, different styling tools and implements can help pull and snag your ends. Rollers, decorative combs, scrunchies, rubber bands, brushes, hair pins and/or bobby pins. Please use in moderation. I advise that you get a trim every 6 to 8 weeks. By doing so, you will ensure that your hair looks healthy, even and full of life!

How to choose the correct length when buying HairExtensions

Hair Extensions come in different lengths. Choosing your length is very important when buying extensions. Since we are all different heights and sizes, the extensions will not fall the same way. It is a good idea to have a particular look or style in mind. If you are not sure, ask yourself, are you looking to add extensions for length or fullness? Once you figure that out, it is time to begin measuring. Using a clothing measuring tape (the soft one), measure your own hair and then decide on how much length you would like to add. For example, if the length of your natural hair is 10 inches and you would like to add 4 inches, you will need 14 inch extensions. If you want a full head of extensions with no leave out, place the tape on the Crown of your head and bring it down to your desired length. Have a friend help you to hold ...

Getting my hair done as a little girl

There is nothing like getting your hair done! Ever since I was a little girl, I loved getting my hair done. I could remember on Sundays my mother calling me while I was playing outside with my friends to tell me it was time to get my hair done. Back in the day, it was an all day ordeal. When you are young, black and without a relaxer, getting your hair done can be painful. Nevertheless, I didn't mind. I knew that I had to stand on a chair because I was too short to reach the sink. Bend over, then stick my head under the running faucet. That was my weekly ritual! Since we didn't have a blow dryer or hair dryer back in the day, my Mom would towel dry my hair, section it into 4 or 6 sections then braid it. I was left to run free until my hair dried. Once my hair dried, here came the pressing comb and grease . Even though I had the utmost trust in my Mother, I still squirmed and held my ears back when I felt the heat near my fac...
