Che Calla Hair

This trick has saved my butt behind the chair.

First if you do not know what I-tip extensions are, make sure to take a look at day 3.

// Have you ever been doing hair extensions on your guest and you find that you are having trouble with blending?

Whether it’s the front angles that are popping out or the annoying little piece at the bottom?

We’ll this trick will also save your butt one day or simply just be a way to offer a beautiful hybrid application.

If you have an extra small weft of hair and some rebonds on hand, you can make I-tip extensions to help with blending, or even to add some custom color in specific areas.

This is also useful for guest who have finer hair and are unable to apply to much weight to their head. You can fill in the front with small I-tips to help create a fuller look.

Day 3 • 30 days of Hair Extensions

For I-Tips you’ll need these tools for the application:

* Hair clips
* Threader
* Bead clamp (plyer)
* I-tip beads

Save this post to look back at when you need a reminder of what to tell your guest or just to remind yourself.
It’s easy to get lost in all the fun facts of Hair extensions with all of the different methods out there. There will come a point where you finally find what method(s) you love most and you will stick to those only.

Picking 1-3 methods gives you the chance to perfect the method and begin to charge accordingly. Taking on too many methods can cause you to loose focus and feel uncertain about your expertise. Take the time to practice (on a human or mannequin) and really pick which methods you enjoy most & try your best to stick to them.

I remember when I first began offering extensions I offered everything. Braids, I-tip, U-tip, Sew ins, tape-ins.
I discovered that my hands couldn’t handle the braiding. U-tips we’re awesome and I offered them as a hybrid style but I liked I-tip better so I spoke about I-tips. I offered Natural beaded wefts & Tapes.

In the end I stopped offering two and stuck with 3 method and I was able to focus and perfect them.

— I love the I-tip method so much for the simple fact that there is no glue or chemicals needed to apply them. Do you offer extensions now? If so what is your go-to method?

Day 2 — 30 days of hair extensions

So it’s easy to get tricked in the hair extensions industry because it is after all valued at over 6 billion dollars.

There are people out here trying to get your money and give you cheap stuff so it is SO Important to know where your hair is coming from by asking all the right questions and doing your research. (Even then, starting off you can still get scammed) it’s happened to me and it’s no fun and can be very expensive.

It sucks but if you are in the process of starting your own hair extensions business, or you are wanting to purchase hair wholesale to supply your guests… or even if you are recommending people to buy the hair… you need to understand that the possibility to get hair that is not real is there.

Here’s 3 things you can do to test the hair & make sure you are not getting tricked.

1. The burn test. Cut a loc of the weft and hold a flame to the ends. If the hair melts and bunches up together, then you my friend are working with some synthetic hair. If it burns slow and crumbles into ashes then you are working with real human hair.

2. The flip/flop test. Grab a hold of the weft from weft to ends and push the hair together to see how the hair moves. It it flips and flops quickly then you are working with synthetic hair or mixed. It should move with Grace and naturally.

3. The curl test. Turn your curl iron up to as high as 450🌡 and try and slowly curl a loc. If the hair does not curl or melts then… you are working with synthetic hair or a mix. If it’s 100% human then you will be able to curl the hair with no problem and with water, the hair will return back to its natural state.

// synthetic hair and mix’s have their purpose in the industry, but if you are expecting 100% human hair… and you are not sure what your working with then you absolutely will find out using one or all of these tests.

Remembering back to when I was beginning my journey to specializing in hair extensions… I wanted to know as much as possible.

Literally down to what they are, where they are sourced from, how they are applied and more. I’ve learned SO MUCH on hair extensions over the years and I want to give you some info you can use to help guide you in the right direction.

There are many options when it comes to buying hair extensions but these three are most commonly purchased & used.

Personally, if you can find Remy/Virgin hair I think it is your best bet but you also need to know who your ideal customer is and make sure you are purchasing the right type for them.

If you ever need a quick reminder on the difference between Raw, Virgin & Remy hair you can save this post for the future.

—— Knowing what type of hair you need is essential for you to begin offering extensions to your guest because

1. You can have a better understanding of its origin.
2. You can have an answer when your guest ask you “what kind of hair should I get?” Or “what type of hair do you offer?”
3. You can have a better understanding on what you will need to charge behind the chair.
