Contrary to popular belief, hair care can be pretty… cinematic.

So we want to know: what is your favorite movie about hair 🤔

We’ll go first: Edward Scissorhands

As hair care connoisseurs, one question we’re often asked is:

What’s the difference between real and synthetic hair extensions?

And it’s a fair question!

The main differences between the two are composition, aesthetic, and quality.

The main benefit of real extensions is that they are made of human hair, so they blend smoothly and look natural.

They are, however, the more expensive option when it comes to extensions.

Synthetic extensions, on the other hand, are made of blended synthetic fibers.

This means that they’re cheaper, but only last a few months.

Additionally, synthetic extensions tend to feel stiff and move differently than real human hair, so they won’t blend as smoothly.

Lastly, synthetic extensions cannot tolerate much heat, so you can’t style them in the same way you would your natural hair.

If you’re thinking about investing in hair extensions, it’s best to research your options so you can reach an informed decision.

No matter which option you go with, we’re always here to support you – just shoot us a message or give us a call if you need a hand :)

The average person spends approximately 20-30 minutes styling their hair every day.

That said, everyone’s hair routine is different!

So now we want to ask you:

How long does it take you to do your hair?

So you’re thinking about going into hairstyling, hey?

Let’s see how much you know ;)

Fun fact for you:

There are six different face shapes — heart, diamond, oval, round, square, and rectangle. There are different haircuts and styles that suit each face shape best.

So now we want to ask you:

What is your face shape — and what hairstyle do you think suits it best?
