Hair extensions have been worn for many years originating from many parts of Africa when sheep skin, beads, sticks, and different forms of adornments where used to achieve different styles for tribal men and woman.
Now due to the multicultural society in which we live the world has now seen the beauty of hair adornments using different materials to create a look of healthy hair by adding extensions or create a fashion statement by braiding hair using different natural products such as fibre, feathers, beads, wool and colourful threads.
The trend of wearing hair extensions has greatly increased. This has caused extensive demanding hair extensions in every part of the world.
Hair Extensions are pieces of hair that are added to your own hair by means of fusion (strand by strand), weaving, braiding, bonding, seamless, clips and more. There are many variations to all of these techniques. Extensions are usually applied by a stylist but many customers are doing this at home. Human hair extensions act the same as your own hair and can be cut, curled and styled any way you like.
People can achieve their dream of long hair by using hair extension. Hair extensions are amazing for who are not blessed with good growing hair. You can add length of your hair or a beautiful streak of colour. You can keep your hair healthy by practicing a pampering hair care in routine. You can give any length to your hair as you want up to about 26 inch-30 inch. Anything longer than this puts extra weight on your scalp which may lead to uneven pressure and damage to your own hair. The best looking hair extensions for average height women are usually around 24 inch.
Remi goddess fusion and weft extension is Creative Hair's preferred and best selling 100% human hair.
Remi is natural cuticle hair, in other words, it is the Rolls Royce of human hair extensions. In terms of feeling, looking and acting just like natural hair, remi has it nailed. The hair however, is carefully and scientifically treated to minimise the use of standard chemicals, allowing the hair to retain its cuticle. This makes Remi hair altogether stronger and more versatile. Remi hair is natural lustre and premium quality, only collected from individuals with unprocessed, healthy hair that has natural shine. Resists tangles, does not shed, has superior finishing and beautifuly stitched weft reinforced tips to such a degree that any shedding is minimal.
Remi hair easier to manage than other types of human hair brilliant for holding curls, can be washed and blow-dried, Withstand high heat and chemical treatments.
Remi hair can be premed, colour and bleached and with good maintenance can be re-used after 4-6 week of use as remi hair still retains its natural lustre and texture. Simple wash and reattach. Remi hair is a luxury item, due to the methods used to produce the hair; it is more expensive than other types of human hair extensions. However, when you consider what you get, we believe that it is well worth the money. It is strong, healthy, versatile and behaves just like your natural hair.
A Creative Hair consultation involves giving our clients detailed information to ensure our clients are aware of every aspect before making the decision to have hair extensions, we also provide you with thorough aftercare and maintenance advice. As each clients requests are different we provide you with advice of the best system suited to their individual needs. Our detailed discussion with our clients plays an important role of our consultation process,
we ensure to supply all clients with accurate and sufficient information to enable them to make a decision as to whether they wish to progress with the service.
There are many different ways to apply hair extensions. Please see our Services Page for details on the different types of hair extension application methods we provide. Depending on how long you require the extensions down to your hair type will determine the type of application method which is best for you. If you require more information or advice or are simply not sure which application method you require then contact us to book a consultation. We are sure to have something to accomodate your needs.
When choosing a colour to match your own hair, choose a colour that matches your hair from the middle to the ends. Never buy hair the colour of your out growth as that is always darker. The blending of your hair on the bottom part is most important. We have many beautiful shades to choose from and also offer a free colour matching service to ensure your extensions look as natural as possible.
Moisture is the most important thing. Please do not use products for oily hair or strippers that take out chlorine or product build up, these leave the hair dry and brittle. Use styling products that contain zero or low alcohol quantity. Products for dry hair are the best. We recommend using only our hair care products. Spray in conditioners and glossifiers are wonderful for the ends.
That depends entirely on which system you choose, hair grade, length, quantity, colours etc. We offer a free consultation that will help to decide which method will suit your lifestyle, budget and style.
Wash the hair in one direction only. From top to bottom. Avoid washing hair upside down in the sink. Use shampoos and conditioners that are for dry hair and add the most moisture. Wash hair right after swimming. When brushing your hair, start from the bottom and work your way up while holding the top part to keep it from shedding or stretching.
Each person is different, depending on climate, water, products used, care for the hair, brushing, using blow dryers and hot irons, how it was applied, swimming, how often its washed, etc. Due to all these factors no one can give an exact amount of time the hair will last. Companies that do this are misleading as each person has different circumstances. They can last for many months or be easily ruined if not cared for properly. Creative Hair sells the longest lasting best Remi hair on the market. We love hair extensions and wear them ourselves. We want the most beautiful quality longest lasting hair that money can buy. We want to look beautiful and don't want anyone knowing we are wearing extensions. No frizzy dried out hair for us or our customers!
We encourage our clients to take a break between extensions, even if its only for a week or two. It enables clients to have their hair trimmed, coloured or conditioned, as some of the more permanent methods inhibit these procedures. Clip-ins are always on hand for any client who cannot live without their extra hair.
During consultation we assess a client's lifestyle and will match the best system to each client. For example any client who needs to wash their hair every day would be advised to try clip-ins as they won't get their full timeframe from other extensions as the bonds would be weakened due to excessive washing, and therefore a waste of money. However clients who currently have do have hair extensions can still play sports and go swimming providing they wear a suitable swimcap to protect the extentions.
If they are applied correctly there should be no problem whatsoever. A good technician will balance the weight perfectly, taking a section of your hair and adding an extension of equal weight, resulting in a completely balanced natural look. It is surprising how quickly you get used to having a gloriously full head of hair.
