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 Cornrow For Beginners

Beginners Step-by-Step Guide - How to Cornrow Your Hair What Are Cornrows Cornrows are a flat plait originating from Africa and the Caribbean. As you may have guessed, the name comes from their appearance, similar to rows of cane or corn. How To Create a Cornrow Braid To create the style, start by dividing one to two inches of hair from the top into three parts. Cross the right section underneath the middle one, then do the same with the left section. Now pick up hair from the sides, adding them to your strands before repeating the weaving process. Keep doing this until you reach the ends of your hair and secure it with a hairband. Remember not to leave any hair in the middle. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a standard Dutch braid instead. You don’t have to worry about cornrow styles damaging your hair. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Cornrows are a great option if you’re looking for a protective hairstyle or even to do a braid out. You just have to remember to be gentle with your hair...

The Truth About Chinese Hair Extension Grading (4A - 7A) System!

 In the United States we use a grading system for EVERYTHING!  According to the* U.S.D.A. grading is based on standards and standards are based on measurable attributes that describe the value and utility of the product. Standards for each product describe the entire range of quality for a product, and the number of grades varies by commodity. For example,  there are 8 grades of beef, 3 each for chicken, eggs & turkey,  32 grade standards  &  specifications for dairy products and more than 312 fruit, vegetables & speciality product standards.* So, with all that said, what are the standards for which Human Hair is graded?? You guessed it............there is none.  The US doesn't have a  regulatory agency for Hair. Manufacturers and processors from overseas have gotten wind on how grades are important to us in the western world so they have gotten together to give us grades based on on their own internal quality...
