Fall is Long, la-Long, Long

Want The Longer Look of Fall? 

Try our Couture Hair Shop's hair extensions in the longer lengths (18"-26"). After installing the hair extensions, do a middle part. Spritz a light holding spray. Curl your hair* using a large barrel curling iron. We like the 19 MM (3/4") Enzo Milano curling iron. A great alternative is to roller set your hair, so you do not use heat. Lastly, gently flip your hair upside down and back up to loosen the curls.

*A great tip when curing hair is to alternate the curling direction. For example, curl one small section of hair toward the front and the next section toward the back. This will keep your hair from curling into together.

We have had a lot of requests regarding our hair and letting people know what textures look like on you is very helpful!

Should you go with the Deep Curly or the Loose Curly?

Deep is a little lighter, but tightens up much more. If you want to style or straighten it for a wavy look, go with the Loose Curly Hair Extensions.

How long is 18" Loose Curly, really?

We want to thank Shonna for sending in some photos just before the 4th of July of her Deep Curly 22" hair. This gives you a good idea of the type of texture and where it falls.

The curly hair is measured wet, when it is straight, so if you want it to be long, think about ordering a longer length, as when it is curled up, it is shorter than the length advertised. That is the standard in the industry, even though we are generous with the lengths. We always try to over estimate to give you a little more than the standard.

We have carried the same hair for several years and guarantee our products to your satisfaction. The most notable hair that we carry is the curly textures and the longer lengths because it is hair that you cannot find walking into a local beauty supply. Our hair is 100% remy, real human hair.

Swiss Lace Closures: How To

How are 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.
• Since our closures have a lace frontal 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 bond the closure onto your head, by using hair tape or hair glue.
• You can also add clips to the closure and clip it on.

Where should the hair closure be placed?
The closure should be placed slightly in front of the braid (at your hairline) and then sewn down. This will prevent the braid from showing, and allow the lace to blend better with the scalp.

What type of adhesives can I use to apply the hair closure?
There are a couple adhesives used to apply lace closures. C-22 and secure, with the C-22 being the most popular. We sell it in different size bottles and combo packs with the remover and scalp protector.

Do I have to use scalp protector?
No, but the scalp protector goes give the adhesive you use a longer hold.

Should I apply the hair extensions before or after I install the hair closure?
It is best to apply the closure before installing the hair extensions.

What Braid pattern is best?
Start with a part down the middle. For each braid that will sit under the closure, begin a braid about 1.5-2 inches from the part. Take each braid and braid around in a half circle, then braid it down. Sew the closure as flat to you head as possible. Make the braids as small as possible so that the closure can lay flat.

How many packs of hair will I need with a hair closure?
You will need 1.5 to 2 packs of hair, depending on how full you like your hair style.

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 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% human hair and can be curled, flat ironed etc to achieve any hair style you want.

What is the difference between the swiss lace and thin skin closure?


Swiss lace closure:

• Made with a transparent nylon lace material that has many tines holes; which allows for ventilation.
• It can also accommodate any kind of attachment whether it is bonding with glue or tape, or sewing.
• It is very durable and natural looking and can be applied for many installations.
• Free style parting
• It is the most popular of the two types of hair closures.

The thin skin closure:

• 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.
• It is very durable and natural looking and can be applied for many installations.
• Free style parting

Sultry Couture Extensions in the Press

For once people finally commented on how nice and long my hair was and didn't ask if my hair had extensions. The best thing I think was that this hair is real and natural and that made a difference. The hair that's in the salons is filled with synthetics so you're not getting real hair. The hair from this Sultry Couture is the way to go as it is real human hair. I went with the clip ins because I can take them out anytime, but my friends have done the sewn in wefts and what's great about the real human hair is you can wash it or style it and it lasts about 6 months depending on how you take care of it. Some people go an entire year. All in all, this hair gets my recommendation.

Couture Hair is Back for Spring

See the latest styles and trends on our sites, www.couturehairshop.com and www.sultrycouture.com. Right now we have a sale on all wefted hair for curly, wavy, and straight.

The President's Hair

As the President faces the challenges each and every day, what would it be like if he added a few hair extensions to his hair?

Well, Washington had some sort of extensions right? and Lincoln? Maybe a beard extension, not sure. Franklin had a few in his hair, but he wasn't the President, was he? He did make onto one of the bills we know, but which bill was it? quite a savings if you can remember it was the fifty.

We hope that extensions will not be the case for these fabulous and popular men, since they looked fabulous during their time of leadership, but we could certainly use a sale to save on the hair of choice for our own, new look.

Right now is the time to save on a one day sale that is not about the mattress, since all the mattresses seem to go on sale at this time of year, but it's about the hair. And maybe that bed-head look will find it's way back, as we capture spring, the season that is.

Save on Curly, Wavy, Straight, for all wefts in stock, and we do have all of them in case you were wondering, Mr. President.

Tips They Don't Teach

1. Quality Hair Saves You Money
Synthetic hair might seem cost-friendly but it can make your natural hair brittle and even irritate your scalp. Look out for brands that claim to be 100% human hair but are really mixed with synthetic fibers. They only last for one install and you will end up throwing it away, only to purchase another two packs of hair for a new installation. This will end up costing you more money and hassle in the long run. Couture Hair Shop Extensions is 100% Remy virgin human hair extensions. Our hair lasts up to a year or longer with proper care (So worth the money).

2. Condition
It’s crucial that you deep condition your natural hair before attaching a weave. Apply a product like Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Pak (Sally Beauty, $1.29) to damp hair then sit under a hooded dryer wearing a plastic cap for 20 minutes. No hooded dryer? No problem. Leave the conditioner in for 45 minutes to 1 hour with just the plastic cap. Then rinse. It's a good idea to condition your natural hair every time you re do your weave.

3. If It Hurts Get Out of There
Tracks should be sewn in firmly but comfortably. You should not leave the salon in pain. Keep a weaving thread and needle handy at home for any tracks that come loose. It’s not worth losing your hair.

4. Add a Net
Attaching a weaving net can relieve some of the tension. You can even have the tracks sewn onto the net instead of your actual hair. This makes getting to your scalp when washing easier and makes weave removal simple.

5. Wash It
Part your weave into four quadrants. Create loose knots and secure with clips to reduce tangling. Use a spray bottle with diluted shampoo and diluted conditioner to reduce buildup. Saturate each section then massage product into scalp and hair as you would your natural hair (using your fingertips, not nails and carefully maneuvering between tracks and under braids). When conditioning, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle. Rinse section by section, loosely wrapping back up in a knot when moving onto the next. When all product is removed, create four braids. Finally, sit under a hooded dryer so that scalp and hair can thoroughly dry.

6. Styling Products: Less Is More
Remember less is more when it comes to styling product. Too much will weight your hair extensions down and make them look and feel oily. It is best to use styling products that are alcohol free; which tend to dry your hair out.

7. Use Heat Styling Tools In Moderation
An advantage of human hair extensions is that you can style it like you would your own hair. Heat is your hair extensions biggest enemy. Too must heat can damage human hair extensions, just as it would your own natural hair. Avoid constant heat and use heat protection spray when using hot styling tools.

8. Moisturize Your Edges and Scalp
Rosemary herb combined with an oil like jojoba or almond can condition hair and stimulate growth. Mix in a squirt bottle so that you can direct the oil to your scalp and avoid the contact with your weave. Try Aura Cacia 100% Pure Essential Oil, (Amazon, $2.99).

9. Take a Break
Giving your hair a rest from weaves doesn’t necessarily mean your locks have to go from long and curly to cropped and relaxed overnight. If you want to keep up one consistent look even in between weaves, try ponytail or half-wigs
