Hair Extension Tips for Stylists

Using natural human hair extensions and making sure that you get the right color match are fundamental in achieving a great natural finish, but there are secrets to the perfect application.

• By razoring or cutting the extensions into layers after they have been applied, the natural hair and extensions blend together better.
• When applying clip-on hair extensions, get a more secure fit by backcombing the roots slightly.
• For the majority of clients, the virgin hair at the root, that has not been bleached by the sun, is a different colour to the lighter sun-bleached ends. So, if you're matching extensions to the root then it will be too dark on the ends, and vice versa. To tackle this problem, choose a color that is in between.
• Pre-cutting the natural hair perfectly will enhance your extension hairstyle, maximising optimum blend between the natural hair length and the added hair.
• Make sure that the amount of hair introduced is sympathetic to the client's own hair, texture and length, otherwise it can make the overall style look unbalanced. Placement of the extensions can make or break a natural look. Place the extension so it falls naturally within the client's own hair.
• When applying a strand by strand method, work sympathetically with the client's own hair, matching each section weight for weight. Small bonds carefully applied should be virtually undetectable, even on very fine hair. Proper aftercare keeps extensions looking great. It's important that the products you're offering not only nourish the hair, but protect the bonds too.

What To Do Before Applying Hair Extensions

1. Find an experienced Stylist- Choose a hair stylist that is skilled in the specific hair extensions that you are seeking. There are several different ways to install hair extensions, so ask if they are certified and experienced in the hair extensions method you desire. Ask around...word of mouth referrals are the best way to find a hair extension specialist. 
2. Purchase quality hair extensions- At Sultry Hair Extensions we use only the world’s finest Indian Temple Double Drawn Remy Human Hair. Remy means cuticle correct or that only the finest virgin hair (not treated or previously colored) is used. The high level quality of our hair extensions is matched only by the level of our passionate commitment to create your prefect experience.
3. Properly care for the hair extensions- Click here for our hair maintenance guide.  
4. Don't neglect your natural hair- Make sure when shampooing/conditioning the hair extensions that you also shampoo and condition your own natural hair. If possible, depending on your hair extension method, when detangling your hair extensions also be sure to comb through your natural hair to, so your hair does not tangle and matt. 
5. Don't leave them in for too long-How long hair extensions can be installed depends on the type of extensions, the quality of the extensions, the skill of the stylist and the application method. Click here for our hair extension removal guide.

What To Do After Removing Hair Extensions

While you may have hair growth wearing weaves because your own  hair is not being manipulated, you want to maintain healthy hair by following the steps below to ensure your natural hair grows long and healthy.  
Shampoo- it's important to remember that you still need to be gentle. Excessive rubbing and massaging can cause the hair to become tangled. 
Deep Condition- Don't neglect your natural hair, it needs hydration. Work a moisturizing conditioner through your hair from root to tip.   
Detangle- When removing knots or tangles start at the ends and work your way up.
Trim Your Hair- No, trimming won't help your hair to grow faster. But by trimming you are snipping away the dead ends. How often you trim depends on the state of your hair. You should trim as soon as you start noticing dead end or breakage. Otherwise, you should have at least a half inch snipped off every three months or so.
It is perfectly fine to reapply after removing hair extensions, as  long as your own hair gets the necessary hydration it needs.

Thin Skin Closure & Swiss Lace Closure Comparison

What is the difference between the swiss lace and thin skin closure?
The difference between the swiss lace and thin skin closure is that the swiss lace closure is made with a transparent nylon lace material that has many tines holes; which allows for ventilation. The thin skin closure is made of a non-transparent polyurethane material that resembles a scalp and gives the appearance that hair is growing from the scalp. Thin skin closure can also accommodate any kind of attachment whether it is bonding with glue or tape, or sewing. They are both very durable and natural looking.

Hair Extensions Trends for Summer 2010

It seems summer is finally here, and as well as a new wardrobe, it's also the perfect opportunity to try out new hairstyles, shapes and colors. If your clients are leery to commit, but are feeling adventurous and experimental, hair extensions could provide the excitement they crave. Whether it is a splash of color, or extra length for a special occasion, extensions are versatile and can transform hair in a matter of minutes. They are still a favorite with celebrities, especially for adding volume and length, and an essential part of any session stylist's kit bag. So, what are the trends for the summer? Paul Falltrick, of Paul Falltrick Hairdressing in Essex, talks through the top three trends you should be offering your clients.
Hair Extension Trends:

Thickness
Using hair extensions to add thickness and volume is on-trend this season. Jennifer Lopez would not be able to create the different looks she reveals week after week without hair extensions. She provides the perfect platform to display the versatility of hair extensions. They can be styled and curled easily as they have slight natural movement, but they can also be applied to enhance fullness within the hair.

Color
Extensions are available in a huge array of colours, so there's the perfect colour match and blend to suit each and every individual, whether they have a block colour or a mixture of highlights and lowlights. Using a mixture of tones is popular this season as it gives a beautifully natural result. There are also fashion shades that are typically used for panel work to create flashes of colour to update a client's look instantly and enhance the cut. This is a key trend for summer as it gives the style more personality, particularly with shorter choppy cuts like Frankie from The Saturdays.

Length
Long hair extensions with gloss and lustre are still really popular with clients. Extended tresses look timeless and beautiful, especially when smooth and sleek. A lot of clients love the bed-head tousled look to keep up with fashion trends this season, copying celebrities like Paris Hilton, who has added length and body to her style using extensions. Adding length is also popular for those trying to grow out a bob.

Top 10 Things You Can Do For Your Hair Extensions

1. Condition More- Extensions do not receive nourishment from your scalp, so it is important to keep them moisturized. It is also advisable to deep condition hair extensions at least once a week , to soften and moisturize.
2. Use Less heat- I've said is before and I'll say it again. Moisture loss is the main cause of hair extensions to lose luster, resulting in dry frizzy hair. The best way to maintain the quality of hair extensions is to use as little heat as possible. Be careful when using heat. If you must, seal in moisture by using heat protectant products. and  follow these guidelines to prevent as much damage as possible to your extensions.
3. Shampoo Less- Shampooing can damage the best of hair extensions. Use salon quality products on your hair extensions. We recommend a sulfate free moisturizing shampoo, with PH no higher than 7. Shampoo no more than three times a week and following with a moisturizing conditioner. When washing human extensions, avoid harsh shampoos. Instead, use those with extra moisturising agents. 
4. Avoid Alcohol- Avoid styling products that contain alcohol. Not all alcohols are drying. Fatty alcohols (like stearyl and cetyl) found in shampoos and conditioners help hydrate hair. The alcohol ethanol (typically found in hair sprays) can be drying.  
5. Brush Gently-  Combing your hair extensions is very important to keep up the quality and life of the hair, as well as your current hair style. Be gentle when brushing the hair. Brush it softly from the bottom up, to gently release tangles at the end and to avoid tugging and releasing the hair. We recommend a paddle brush or a super looper brush.
6. Braid Hair Before Going to Sleep- It is always good to brush your hair and put it into braids or tied up in a bun before going to sleep. This will avoid any unwanted tangles.
7. No More Than 3 Months- Never leave your extensions in over three months. The root hair needs to be brushed out completely to avoid tangling and dreading of your natural hair.
8. Go with a Pro- We recommend getting your hair extensions installed and removed by an experienced hairstylist. A great hair stylist can do wonders while a bad stylist can cause pain and heartache over your hair. Take the time to make sure you are completely comfortable with a new stylist before you trust them with your hair.
9. Use the Right Adhesive- If you plan on bonding your hair extensions or hairpiece, be sure to use the correct adhesive. There are so many types of hair adhesives to choose from that it can be confusing. Click here for our hair adhesive guide.
10. Buy Premium Human Hair Extensions- If you want your hair extensions to last, do with the best. It may be more expensive, but it is well worth the cost. Remy is the best of the best in regards to hair extensions. This grade of human hair will maintain its quality well under everyday styling. The reason for this has everything to do with cuticle alignment. Remy hair has all of its cuticles aligned in the same direction from root to end. This makes the hair less prone to tangling and matting and is much more durable. At Sultry Hair Extensions, we only sell the finest quality human hair extensions.

DWTS and Clip On Hair Extensions

 

Dancing With the Stars head hairstylist Mary Guerrero admits everyone on the show wears clip in hair extensions. “The secret of locking in the hair extensions, says Mary, is using products, hairclips and rubber bands that we criss-cross pins to, so that it will be ready for stunt hair.” So don't feel bad if you don’t have as much hair as Pamela Anderson . . . it’s a fantasy! You too can enhance your natural beauty with our Clip-On Hair Extensions for bigger, longer hair.   

Donate Hair to the Oil Spill Clean Up

Did you know a pound of hair can absorb a quart of oil in one minute and can be reused up to 100 times?  Founded in 1998, Matter of Trust has been collecting and making hair mats and booms to help in oil spill clean up. Their method is genius; donated hair and natural fibers are collected, stuffed into hose and used to soak up spills.
Why hair? Hair easily collects oil and is really good at it. Ever go a day or two without washing it? Exactly. Since the spill, Matter of Trust has opened several warehouses within the Gulf States to collect hair donations and make hair booms. 
Want to donate to the effort? Click here to sign up and for donation instructions. You can donate shampooed head hair, fur and natural fibers. Any type of fur or waste wool, horse hair, dog fur and feathers are also accepted. Nylon stocking or hossery are also accepted for donations. Check out this video on how it's done. 

All About Hair Weaves

Why a weave?
 This particular hair extension method reduces the everyday stresses your hair undergoes from heat, chemical and weather damage. It enables you to have carefree hair without the added time. A weave is perfect for someone who wants to remain chemical free but wants a textural or color change hair. A weave can allow you to shampoo and go, swim freely, wear a carefree ponytail and still be presentable. Weaves are for people with extremely short hair to long mid-back length hair. See how much your hair grows in a weave.
Does everyone need a net?
Not everyone needs to wear a net. I recommend using the net for people with balding or very thin hair, because it plays an important role in the longevity of the weave. With a net weave you are able to shampoo your weave more vigorously and manipulate your hair and scalp underneath. The net reinforces the cornrows and will keep your hair intact. that you won’t have your natural hair sticking out between your commercial hair.
How are the cornrows done underneath?
The cornrows underneath a weave are very small, thin and close together. To the touch your head will be smooth with no bumps or lumps. The pattern varies with every person. They are done in a way that will allow you the most “grow out” as possible.
What makes a weave look the most natural?
Several things, including the quality hair extensions, the application, the blending and the cut. These are key ingredients to a natural looking hair weave. If you have a horseshoe open top or part, then relaxer touch ups or pressing should continue as well as color to maintain your look. The upkeep and maintenance is just as important
How long does it last?
A hair weave lasts 2-3 months, then you can remove, deep condition and re-install if desired.
Is a closure piece necessary?
If you hair blends well with the hair extensions then it is not necessary. It is recommended for balding/thinning hair or hair that does not blend well with the hair extensions. A closure piece will give you the illusion of hair growing from your scalp.
How much hair do I need?
First we need to understand the packaging. Each bundle or pack of hair contains 4 oz of hair.
Partial weave: 1 pack or 4 oz.
Full weave: 2 packs or 8 oz.
These are only approximate, more or less hair may be needed depending on your head size, length and fullness/volume desired.
Can I remove my own weave?
We recommend getting a sew-in weave removed by a hairstylist. So you don't run the risk of cutting your own hair. Its always good to have another pair of eyes when using scissors and working with your hair. Pull your weave up into a ponytail at the top of your hair. Take last track in the back and release from pony tail. This is the back of your hair some people can just feel the different between thread and their own hair. Place a mirror behind you so you can see the track cut one piece of the thread. Cut the thread, not the track. Start from where you cut the thread and lift remaining thread with your fingers. Repeat with rest of weave. You may have to make extra cuts but if you find where the knot is which is usually at either end and cut there then you can easily remove the weave. It is best to use a razor or slim hair cutting scissors
How do I maintain my hair at home?
Once your hair is weaved in, it’s yours! For short to long lengths, the hair can be wrapped, pin curled or rolled up and tied up. For Curly to extremely curly, plait or twist hair in several sections to retain curl pattern. Tie hair up in a silk or satin scarf of bonnet. Brush and detangle your hair daily as needed. If your hair looses its shine and luster brushing can revitalize your hair. Do not excessively oil your hair as this will lead to heavy, lifeless hair and can also cause skin irritation. Moisturize your scalp with a loose oil based oil in an applicator bottle for ease of application. When shampooing at home use a gentle or sulfate free shampoo, shampoo twice and follow with a moisturizing conditioner. Be sure to completely dry cornrows underneath with a hooded dryer.

Jessica Alba Gets Hair Extensions

Back in February, Jessica was seen sporting a super cute short shaggy bob at the Valentine’s Day premiere. Yesterday, Jessica Alba showed off her newly lengthened locks at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her latest film The Killer Inside Me. 
I love her with long hair, but I think the extensions need to be layered. Layering hair extensions makes them look more natural and blend well with your own natural hair. Even if they are applied the right way, they won't look as natural if they have a blunt cut. I do like the dark brunette shade on her though. What do you guys think?

Hair Closure FAQ's

How are hair closures applied?
Closures are attached to the horseshoe section of your head from just behind your hairline to the top center of the head. Closures can be applied many ways.

• The most popular method used to attach a closure is by sewing it into your hair. This is done by attaching it to cornrow braids along the perimeter.
• You can also bond the closure onto your head, by using hair tape or hair glue.
• Since our closures are lace frontal closures you can also sew the back of the closure into your head and glue the front lace base part using hair tape or hair glue.
• You can also add clips to the closure and clip it on.

How can I style the closure?
Our closures are freestyle closures; which, allows for styling freedom. You can style your hair any way you choose. This includes a part down the middle, a side part, and no part with all your hair pulled back. The hair closures are made with 100% remy human and can be curled, flat ironed etc to achieve any hair style you want.


How long does the closure last?
Our hair closures last for several installs. With proper care, it can last up to a year or longer.


How many packs of hair will I need with a closure?
How much hair you will need with a closure depends on a couple of things: (1) the hair length and (2) the fullness you desire:


10"-12"= 1-1.5 packs
14"-16"= 1.5-2 packs
18"-22"=2-2.5 packs
22"-26"= 2.5-3 packs

What is the difference between the swiss lace and thin skin closure?
The difference between swiss lace and thin skin closure is that the swiss lace closure is made with a transparent nylon lace material that has many tines holes; which allows for ventilation. The thin skin closure is made of a non-transparent polyurethane material that resembles a scalp and gives the appearance that hair is growing from the scalp. Thin skin closure can also accommodate any kind of attachment whether it is bonding with glue or tape, or sewing. They are both very durable and natural looking.

Common Hair Myths

There are several myths about hair that have been passed on from generation to generation. Here are 8 of the most common hair myths:
Myth #1: Cutting Hair Makes It Grow Faster and/or Thicker
False. Shorter hair often looks and feels thicker but cutting your hair won’t alter its normal biologically determined growth rate or overall texture. Thin, limp or fine hair will not ever grow thicker in response to a haircut. Plump up your hair by using volume enhancing hair care products, experimenting with a hair fattening blunt cut or getting a texturizing perm or color treatment.
Myth #2:Split ends can be repaired.
Sorry this isn't true either. Split ends cannot be repaired and should be cut off immediately or they will split higher and do even more damage. Holding onto split ends will only further damage your hair.
Myth #3: Hair Will Always Remain The Same Texture
False. Although you may be born with straight, curly or wavy locks, there are many circumstances under which your hair’s ultimate texture can be permanently altered. Pregnancy, medication, chemotherapy, age and other variables can cause your texture to be temporarily or permanently altered.
Myth #4: Washing Hair Every Day Dries It Out
Another hair myth. The right shampoo for your hair type and texture will actually add moisture, body and beauty
Myth #5: Pluck one gray hair and two will grow back.
False.  This is a tale that seems to have been passed on from generation to generation. In my educated opinion it is not true. A hair can be pulled out from the root with no effect to the root itself except at times to weaken it. Pulling out a hair will not cause the root to split and produce more than one hair. I think the myth is perpetuated because often when you find a gray hair, you have come to that age when your body has begun the graying process and in it’s natural course more and 
Myth #6: Baldness is inherited from the mothers side of the family.
More Hair Voodoo. Male and female pattern hair loss can be inherited from either side of the family and may or may not skip many generations. Male pattern hair loss usually begins at age 18 to 20 and female patter hair loss between ages 45 and 55.
Myth #7: Hair Can Become Immune to Shampoo
False. Shampoo will always do its job: clean. So why does it seem like your favorite bottle suddenly stops working? "Shampoo contains ingredients that condition and provide styling benefits, but it can also leave a residue that builds up," says Desai. If you start to notice dullness, use a clarifying shampoo (try Nexxus Aloe Rid Gentle clarifying shampoo, $11; at drugstores) once or twice a month to remove accumulated product -- any more often and you could strip hair of its healthy natural oils.
Myth #8: Hair can be trained.
This is another myth that has been around for a long time. Hair is untrainable, much like your kid brother. There is no amount of combing that will cause curly hair to become straight. When it is shampooed, it will go right back to its normal habits. The same thing goes for trying to train hair into a side or center part. If it doesn’t go that way easily or naturally, there is no amount of persuasion that will cause it to go of its own accord. 

Interesting & Fun Hair Facts

At http://www.sultryhairextensions.com/ my favorite online hobby lately has been visiting random facts and useless knowledge websites. I can't say I will ever use this information, unless I am ever a contestant on a game show. I know more useless information than any person should ever know. That being said, I've decided to dedicate this article about 15 of the most interesting and fun facts about hair. Enjoy!

• Split ends cannot be repaired and should be cut off immediately or they will continue to split higher and do more damage.
• Next to bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body.
• Hair is actually dead material when it leaves its root, otherwise it would hurt when you cut your hair with scissors. 
• The reason why hair turns gray as we age is because the pigment cells in the hair follicle start to die, which is responsible for producing "melanin" which gives the hair colour.
• The big toe is the foot reflexology pressure point for the head.
• Hair grows approximately 1/2 an inch per month. 
• Hair growth occurs fastest between the ages of 15 and 30.

Clip-on Hair Extensions FAQ's

There are many different ways in which hair extensions can be applied. Some of the popular ways involve sewing, bonding or gluing them to your natural hair; however if you are looking for a more temporary length or volume then clip in hair extensions is a popular alternative. Clip in hair extensions provide you with a low maintenance, no commitment and quick solution to get longer hair while you are waiting for your natural hair to grow. They less expensive than going to a salon to have extensions applied via other methods of application. Below are some commonly asked questions customers ask regarding clip in hair extensions.

Are the clips comfortable?
The top of the line polymer coated clips provides a superior gripping power and extra comfortable fit. They hold strong for all day wear.
Will my hair extensions look natural?
The discreet clip fastenings are hidden by your own hair. No one will be able to tell you are wearing our clip in hair extensions unless you choose to share your secret with them.
Will the clip in hair extensions slip out?
No, they will not fall out of your hair. Even when pulled gently, they will not slip completely out, but may slip down just a bit, but with one hand, you can reach under your hair and open and re-snap the clip.
Are the hair extensions made of human hair?
Yes, our clip in hair extensions are made only with 100% remy human hair.

Will they damage my hair?
Clip-in extensions will not damage your hair or scalp. Due to weight of extensions it is advisable that your own hair is at least 4 inches long.
Can I keep re-using them?
Yes, you can re-use them as much as you want as long as you take care of them. They often last a lot longer than other hair extensions as they are easier to care for than ones which are glued or bonded to your hair. With proper care the clip n hair extensions should last over a year or longer.
Can I keep them in over night?
You can, but it is recommend that you take them out at night.
Can you see the clips?
No, the clips are applied onto your hair, underneath the extensions.
Can I cut them?
You are able to cut and style them into any style that you want to suit your natural hair and to blend them in better; however if you are planning to cut them it is a good idea to ask your hair dresser to do it for you as cutting them requires the same amount of skill that is needed to cut your natural hair.
Will my Scalp be able to breath?
Like hair extensions that are glued or bonded to your hair, your clip in ones will be fitted close to your hairs roots/scalp. They are attached in a way so that they do not block your roots or scalp so that you can feel and touch your scalp as normal.
Can I color or highlight the clip-on hair extensions?

Since our hair extensions are 100% human hair you can color them; however, it is advisable to order them in the color that matches your natural color.

How many packs will I need to cover my whole head?
You will only need one pack of clip-on hair extensions for a full head installation.  Each pack contains 5 (triple wefted) pieces. The full set includes:

(1) 8" Section- 3 clips
(1) 7" Section- 3 clips
(1) 6" Section- 3 clips
(2) 3" Section- 2 clips

Bangs Are Back (Again)!

Celebs have been spotted adding bangs to their locks. Bangs are definitely here to stay, but if you follow fashion even a little bit, you know that bangs never actually go out of style. They've been in and out of vogue since the days of Cleopatra...or at least since Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra in the 1963 film.

• Are your bangs are too thin? 
• Did you get a bad haircut? 
• Do you want to try our bangs before making a big commitment and cutting your own hair? 

Whatever the reason may be our Clips-on Bangs are perfect.

Survey: 60% of Women Are Happy With Their Hair

According to a yahoo article published last week; in which, more than 1,000 women were interviewed for the survey, only 60% of women are happy with their hair. That leaves another 40% of women that color, relax, perm, flat iron their hair to get the look they want.

Get Rid of Hair Extension Static

Static can be very strong in winter. Static electric shock happens more often because of the low humidity levels in our homes, heated by fireplaces and forced hot air. Static electricity can be a nuisance - clothes cling together and awful fly-away hair. What do to? Check out the tips below.

• Get yourself a humidifier- By using a humidifier, you get the air in your home back to normal humidity levels, and you will find that with increased humidity, the static will be reduced. For those of you with curly hair, your curls will get stronger with higher humidity.
• Dryer Softener Sheet- Another solution is to rub a dryer softener sheet over the brush, and even on your hair before brushing. It does wonders and cuts down of tangles!
• Wet Hair- Also wetting your hair and combing it will decrease hair static. 
• Hair Spray- Using hair spray can decrease the electrical charge in your hair. 
• Investigate Your Hair Products- If you still have trouble with static, investigate on your hair care products. Some shampoos wash your hair so squeak clean, that all natural oils disappear - they protect your hair shaft, and prevent static, too. If you do not wish to change your products, use jojoba oil after washing to add the natural amount of oil to your hair.
• Look at your wardrobe- If you can't seem to get rid of static, have a look at your wardrobe. Chemical fibers are apt to cause static - most important are viscose and polyester. Switching to natural (and electrically neutral) fibers like cotton, silk or wool also helps a lot in getting rid of static.

How to Remove Hair Extensions

Removal of hair extensions can be done by a professional or you can remove them yourself. Whether the extensions are pre bonded, micro rings, or fusion bonded hair extensions, it is important to keep you hair in great condition.
Clip-in Hair Extensions
Removing clip-ins is incredibly easy. Just as you simply clip them into your hair when you want them, when you have had enough you just open open the clip and away you go.
Seamless Hair Extensions
Seamless hair extensions can be removed by applying an adhesive remover or solvent and by gently massaging the adhesive to loosen the bond and remove. A great tip when removing seamless hair is to use a blow dryer on low heat after you have applied the solvent. This will help loosen those hard to remove bonds.
Bonded Hair Extensions

Sew-in Hair Extensions (Weaves)

It would help if you had someone to help you. We recommend getting a sew-in weave removed by an experiences hairstylist. That way you don't run the risk of cutting your own hair. Its always good to have another pair of eyes when using scissors and working with your hair. Pull your weave up into a ponytail at the top of your hair. Take last track in the back and release from pony tail. This is the back of your hair some people can just feel the different between thread and their own hair. Place a mirror behind you so you can see the track cut one piece of the thread. Cut the thread, not the track. Start from where you cut the thread and lift remaining thread with your fingers. Repeat with rest of weave. You may have to make extra cuts but if you find where the knot is which is usually at either end and cut there then you can easily remove the weave.  It is best to use a razor or slim hair cutting scissors

Fusion Bonding Hair Extensions

Removal of any extensions that use a bonding agent must be done at a salon, but both fusion bonding and pre bonded extensions are removed in exactly the same way. A bond remover containing acetate will be applied to soften up the bond. After a bond has been briefly soaked, it is then broken up with a pair of pliers. If done correctly, the whole extension will slide down the
Micro Rings Hair Extensions
Again, it is important to get Micro Rings removed by an experiences hairstylist as trying to pull them out yourself can severely damage and break the hair. Proper removal is very quick, easy, and simply involves clamping the rings with a pair of pliers to squeeze them open. They are then just slid off of the hair, leaving it in perfectly good condition.natural hair.
Our hair naturally sheds overtime, but with extensions in, it sometimes can not fall from the head.

At Sultry Hair Extensions, we sell hair extension removers and solvents for every hair extension type.
