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 ...

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...
