As we age, it’s normal for hair to become finer and lose some of its natural fullness.

One row of extensions can add back that missing density, making the ends look fuller, thicker, and healthier without adding a lot of length.

Sometimes, it’s not about longer hair. It’s about thicker hair.

Love a low maintenance one row!

From custom color, sectioning, and placement to the amount of hair used, every detail is customized to create a seamless, natural-looking result. 🤍

These extensions are 6 months old! We custom colored them a little darker for a beautiful fall refresh. 🤎🖤

With proper maintenance and quality hair, she’ll be able to get a few more months out of them!

Quality extension hair is a must and worth the investment. I’m loving INH Pro and Kovi hair lately!

Tips for those corners!!

* Don’t pull the weft too tightly around the corner, this can create tension on the natural hair.
* Keep your stitch spacing consistent so the corner is just as secure as the rest of the row.
* Avoid stacking too much hair in the corner, which can create bulk, make the extensions uncomfortable, and create pulling/tension.
* Anchor the corner well so the weft doesn’t loosen or lift during wear. Use small bead sections.
* Always check that the client has comfortable, tension free movement around the area. Flip up and down.
* Keep everything at zero elevation!
* Tuck the knot so it’s not exposed.

Custom Coloring Extensions | My Go-To Tips

I love custom coloring extensions to create a seamless, dimensional blend that is perfectly matched to each client. Here are a few techniques I always use:

1. Use a color stand + foils — This allows for precise, controlled application and makes working with extensions much easier.

2. Always pre-fill with warm tones — Extensions always pull grey undertones fresh out of the package. Replacing the underlying pigment before your final formula prevents muddy results and helps with color longevity.

3. Keep colors isolated — Separate uncolored sections in their own foil to prevent bleeding and color transfer.

4. Use professional products — Proper cleansing and styling products are essential for maintaining the integrity, tone, and longevity of extension hair.

The little details in your formulation and application make a BIG difference in the final result.

Just get hair extensions instead. 😉 They add confidence, not calories. Although, I would treat myself with both 🤷🏻‍♀️😆.

Another extension success story! Before and after ✨

When this client first started getting extensions with me, her natural hair was only slightly below her shoulders. Now, look at all that beautiful growth! Consistent care and quality extensions truly make a difference.

And can we take a moment to appreciate that gorgeous ombré? 🤩 Color was created entirely with extensions no foils needed.

This is a before and after from today’s color and extension installation!

When this guest first came to me almost two years ago, her natural blonde hair was just past her shoulders (I wish I had a picture from then). Fast forward to today… look at all of that beautiful, healthy growth! 🤍

The secret isn’t just the extensions, it’s consistency and proper care. She takes incredible care of both her natural hair and her extensions, and it truly shows.

To keep her color beautiful and low maintenance, we create a blended root highlight that allows her to go about 12 weeks between color appointments. This gives her natural hair a much needed break from frequent lightening while still keeping her blonde looking fresh. We then move her extensions up every 6 weeks to maintain a flawless blend and keep everything healthy!

When installed and maintained correctly, extensions don’t just add length and fullness, they can help protect your natural hair from daily wear, heat styling, and breakage, creating the perfect environment for healthy growth.

Healthy hair. Low-maintenance color. Dream length. That’s the goal. ✨
