Gone are the days when we had to wait up to grow back our flocks to carry a different look. Thankfully, we live in an epoch where best clip-in hair extensions don’t just exist but have also secured a perfect place in every woman’s pursuit of beauty. One does not require to be a celebrity or some popular youtuber or an influencer with millions of followers to be using them. Putting on remy hair extensions is as common as putting on a lipstick or mascara these days. Remy human hair extensions are the highest grade of human hair where the cuticles are kept intact to avert entangling and lengthen the lifespan of your hair extensions.
It’s not magic, it’s science. Many of us go to our colorist and ask for unrealistic work to be done. This leads to an unhappy client and frustrated colorist. Scenario 1: A dark brunette comes into the salon and asks to become a creamy, beige, blonde (“because blondes have more fun”). This is one very dramatic change! Really dark hair becoming really blonde isn’t an easy process. I will use the word “lightener” because it’s a nicer way of saying bleach. Bleaching your hair sounds almost crazy! Lightener and developer are mixed together, painted masterfully on hair to become shades lighter. The lightener breaks down hair’s pigment. The pigment goes through a scale of color to color until you reach the desired lighter shade. You could be left with an orange or yellow tone in your hair before you reach your blonde ambition. Your colorist will keep lifting the foil a highlight is wrapped in to check the status of your hair’s pigment change. When it reaches the right shade the colorist deactivates the lightener by washing it out.
