I hear all the time about the damage that hair extensions causes.... But, what if, it was possible to have the most amazing hair extensions, and grow and repair your hair at the same time? Most would call me crazy, but for me that is a compliment! Because, it is only the "crazy" ones that create success beyond what the "realistic" eye can see. So I will take crazy every day, all day!
It is true, you can grow and repair your hair while you wear hair extensions. In fact, this is always, always, my end goal with my clients (even the ones who swear thin hair is "hereditary"). It is important to have an "end" in mind when beginning any new journey, goal, or a destination, that is better and more beautiful than where you began. For my clients getting their natural hair to be fuller, longer, and healthier, naturally, is my end result focus. After all, who wants to wear a full head of hair extensions for the rest of their life? I sure don't and I LOVE them. The goal is to get your real hair to be healthy and longer, so you just wear hair extensions for fullness, or because you love the sexiness they cause you to feel.
I will share with you some of the "secrets" I teach my clients to grow their own hair faster, healthier, and thicker. The following guidelines are a MUST when wearing hair extensions if you desire to keep your real hair in tact (after over a decade of learning, I finally discovered a regimen that absolutely ensures your hair will be better when you take out your extensions, than it was before you put them in! Woohoo!). Anything that causes unnatural weight on your hair or your eyelashes, is going to pull, think about it rationally. It's smart to ensure your hair is stronger to compensate for the extra weight. The way to get your hair to be 3x's stronger, grow 2-3xs faster and to be healthier is to go at it from the "inside" approach. Just like an apple tree, you must give the internal nutrients if you want to bare amazing fruit, you need to do the same thing with your hair. There is a product called Biosil that is clinically proven to do just that, for your hair, skin, nails, and bones. It is unlike anything on the market. My clients must take this supplement if they are going to have hair extensions done by me. I make this a requirement because I can clearly, and I mean CLEARLY, see the difference in the ones who do vs. the ones who don't. You also must cleanse your system before you begin or continue any supplement regime. If you do not, you are wasting your money and the product. If you have never done a cleanse, your body is coated with parasites and bacteria and your body does not absorb nutrients efficiently (it doesn't matter how healthy or skinny you may be, this goes for everyone). You also must make sure you are cleansing your internal organs at least every 6 months. You also want to make sure you are massaging your scalp, not rubbing, while wearing hair extensions to boost circulation and nutrient absorption. You do this in the shower by using the pads of your finger tips and moving your scalp in a circular motion while you shampoo. This is amazing for new hair growth. After doing this for only a few weeks, you can part your hair down the middle and see all the new hairs growing in. This goes for your eyelashes too!
There are several other specifications for repairing the external part of your hair while you wear hair extensions. It is important to give love and beauty to both aspects if you want to have amazing hair when you take your extensions out. One thing is using a purifying shampoo. You want to make sure you do this 2 times per month to remove any hard water minerals and silicones that build up on your hair causing it to dry out and become brittle. After this shampoo you will want to use a keratin repairing serum to replace any keratin that has broken down. The Purifying shampoo I love and one that is gentle is ColorProof's Detox shampoo. The Keratin repair I love is Keratin Complex RX treatment in the black bottle. I do not use the entire line, nor do I recommend the entire line of either of these product lines. The product line for shampoo and conditioner would be Kerastase for fine hair (in the light pink bottles) and also their oil is amazing. The reason I love Kerastase is, it's light weight enough for hair extensions and still gives the moisturizing aspect your hair needs. Whatever you use stay away from ALL sulfates, and Parabens! These are bad for hair extensions and are toxic to your system!
