Which Hair Extension Style Do You Want?

cheesy on Jul-16-2009

Within each hair extension category there are many different types of hair extension pieces that you can choose from. Also with this variety come different techniques that you can use. Some techniques allow you to attach it to your own hair and other techniques allow you to glue or bond to either the hair extension or to your actual hair.

Glue/Bond Based Attachment:

1. Invisible hair extensions.
You can use this type hair extension style if you have fine baby hair already. This type extension resembles skin and you must allow a period of time for the extension to hold firm to your scalp. This time period usually lasts between 5-8 weeks.
2. Mega hair extension.
This type extension is completely opposite of the invisible hair extension because it requires
that you have a thicker base of hair in order for the extension to meld into.
3. Raccoon hair extensions.
This technique seems to be the middle of the road selection because it uses a bonding material specifically for hair extensions and has proven to be credible for strength, durability and ease of removal.

Non Glue/Bond Based Attachment:
1. Micro cylinder hair extensions.
This is a most economical way of having hair extensions applied to your hair. This is a simple and hassle free procedure and does not involve glues, heat or chemicals as the glue/based technique requires. This style has a lot of variety selection with sizes, colors and quality of hair as well.
2. Invisible strands technique.
This technique takes a while to complete due to the labor intensive effort involved but the rewards allow you to treat the hair like your normal hair and can last up to a year if taken of properly. The extension of hair is laced into your real hair using dental floss, then the floss is removed leaving the invisible strand. A sealant is then used on this strand to insure that the extension piece is sealed properly and looks natural. The whole process of this technique can last from 4-8 days with a specialist working on your hair but as stated before
you will not have to worry about this extension much and you can treat it like your own real hair.

Emo Hair Styles

cheesy on Jul-3-2009

Emo hairstyles are usually spiky and shaggy a definition of how you felt at that time. It’s an all over the place crazy style so use gel and hair glue to your advantage. Emo hair is as complicated as the term Emo itself. Emo hair is meant to be emotive like the Emo kid wearing it. The hair is expressive and asymmetrical.

Highlights are often used to show conflicting emotions within the emotional hairstyle. Emo kids have hair with bangs that are either hanging in their faces and covering their eyes or brushed to one side.
It usually requires a great deal of hair products to hold it into place, and this is kind of metaphorical for the subculture. Emo hairstyles have jagged edges that go in many directions. It does not have to be long hair to be Emo. It can be black, dark brown, or any other deep rich shade. It can be blonde, but blonde that is very jagged and out of control like the emotions raging inside most Emo kids.
