SO often, the straight hair girls want curls and the curly haired girls want their hair straight,
And now I’m a BIG believer in enhancing what you have naturally,
IF I had an option to have naturally curls, these would be the ones I’d “place an order for in my next life”, lol
The Color: a permanent color at her roots with strategically placed highlights,
AND working with her hair’s natural fade to keep those “chemical” highlights to a minimum.
The Curls- ALL hers and God given ❤️
(but let me know if you want the R+Co styling product stack to get you here)

The Before:
this is after the glaze/toner to I applied to cool down her warmer summer faded blonde.
(previous lightening is not my work)
The After:
a single weft-row for fullness (especially in her sides) and a little additional length
her “before”:
she has some good density in the back of her hair, but her sides have thinned a bit from over lightening over time…
her “after”:
hair trimmed, blended and curled and ready for a night out …
and YES, she can wear it straight.
🔥
(can you easily wear your hair extensions straight too?)
Solution = AirTouch balayage might be for you
This technique blends be soft seamless grow out of balayage, with the precision of traditional highlighting.
On lighter tones, you can also often achieve a cooler blonde tone, versus the traditional “sweeping” of most balayage placement technique.

What is “V-Light” hair extensions method, you ask?
This is one of the most invisible hair extension application methods,
and the wood is not meant for a full head application these tiny, flat, and transparent bonds are virtually undetectable, even in delicate areas like the hairline, fringe, or part.
V-Light is a strand-by-strand hair extension application that uses a special, light-activated adhesive and a UV or LED lamp to attach hair.
The “cold” UV light cures the adhesive instantly, which means there is no heat applied to your hair or scalp during the bonding process.
This method is also a fantastic way to add chemical free highlights!

YES, your sunscreen might be r-u-i-n-i-n-g your hair extensions
🤦🏼♀️
Maybe you live in a warmer, southern climate,
or
maybe you’re just heading out for vacay,
so bring the right Sunscreen along,
and skip the worry of returning with
your extensions (and your 💸 investment in them) ruined
Avobenzone is in most sunscreens and it WILL ruin / stain your hair
Though this is a bigger problem for the blondes out there, anyone with extensions will benefit from an avebenzone-free sunscreen
and the BEST part??
Not only is Crunchi’s sunscreen 💯 hair extensions “safe and recommended”,
AND toxin-free
but
it performs BETTER than my old toxic favorites

If you have very fine or thin hair and you’re considering getting extensions, one of the most common questions I get asked is, “Is this going to feel heavy?”
This is where a truly customized installation comes in…
Sometimes the best fit for your hair is what is often called a “ factory bond”. This means the individual hair is made in a factory and purchased for use in the salon.
Depending on the manufacturer, those could be easily cut smaller. Sometimes in 1/2 or even smaller in 1/3, and this is done to specifically accommodate a thinner, lighter density area in the hair.
Often making my own custom blended smaller bonds is a great fit for my clients. This allows me to not only customize the density, (or weight )of each strand,
but to also blend colors for a very natural looking highlighted effect.
Lastly, sometimes (but not always*), it is possible to reuse some of your previously installed hair,
and make new bonds from it.
* to be clear this has everything to do with how well you take care of your hair at home, how much heat you use, and what kind of heat protectant accompany your daily haircare routine

Everyone shows the “before and after”, but today I’m going to show you the process…(under the hood)
When adding extensions to fine or thin hair,
getting the method and the density correct is the most important thing,
and here we used a “cocktail method”
(meaning mixing two different types of installations)
to grow out the hair of her crown that broke from years of previous bleaching.
I also shifted her hair color from lightning with bleach, to blonding with air-touch highlights, and hair color instead.
This can often be a much gentler color option.
You can still have dimensional color, but with a much more natural result.
This isn’t about the “After” look.
This is about the process that has you growing back your OWN hair, healthier than when you started your hair extension journey.

Just ONE Weft. Period.
Sometimes that’s all you need.
Big impact.
Easier maintenance (than several rows).
If you’re looking for fuller, thicker hair,
(but really aren’t feeling like you’re in your mermaid era),
often just one single weft of hair extensions can give you the additional texture and body you’re looking for.
❗️Funfacts!
• “Yes”, I still offer sewing wefts
• These hair extensions are actually a wavy textured volume weft.
🤯
It’s the perfect match for my clients natural wavy hair,
BUT
the best part is, she can easily wear this wavy (naturally dried)
or straight with minimal effort.
Want to know if this might be a good fit for you?

A simple, special “Thank you” for every soul that has graced this space with your presence.
I LOVE what I do, and you all a huge part of that.
Thank you for trusting me with your haircare needs,
and
thank you for blessing me with the fantastic conversations, lessons and laughs
day-after-day…
I appreciate you
