ANSWERING ALL THINGS HAIR
I have been slacking and should have made this blog post a looooong time ago LOL but better late than never. If you are local (or not) and need a hairstylist – I cannot recommend Shelby and Blankenship Salon enough.
*Side note — I have not noticed any damage to my hair after having hand tied extensions. My hair still grows with them!
WHAT TYPE OF EXTENSIONS:
These are 18″ Harper Ellis Hair Co. hand tied extensions – I have 2 rows and 9 wefts. They are sewn in and are pretty seamless.
MAINTENANCE/HOW LONG THEY LAST:
I get mine moved up every 6-8 weeks. The hair usually last 8 months – 1 year! The better you take care of them, the longer they’ll last. It is recommend to sleep in a low pony tail with them – I love these hair ties or scrunchies!
I wash my hair usually 3x/week and I use this leave in spray. I swear it helps with keeping my hair shiny, healthy and frizz free.
I use Bondi Boost shampoo and conditioner from their hair growth line.
*pic below is after the first row was put in & before we did color/highlights
WHAT COLOR DO I GET:
Extension colors we used were – Rachel, Elle & Graham
She roots my hair with – Goldwell 4BP
I never highlight my hair (except we did a tiny bit this last time).
The gloss she used for my highlights is – Redken Shades EQ 7M and 2 cup fulls of 6GI.
She did say my gloss will fade over washes and my hair will lighten up!
Ok I think I covered everything – if I missed something let me know!
