Hair weave killer

Yes, we all have wanted or  have had extensions in your hair.  All types of extensions are now possible from clips in, to sew in to fusions. You can now switch up your hair at anytime. Whatever you called them from  extensions to weaves it all is the same thing, which is extra hair! Whatever the cause of your need to super-size your strands, nothing offers instant gratification like hair extensions Refinery 29 offered some great tips and the background of extensions.  Here are few tips that will provide you on the essence of becoming a hair weave killer. 

1.“The best human-hair extensions are 100% virgin hair-The Rolls Royce of extensions is 100% virgin Remy double-drawn hair. “Remy means all the cuticle is intact and all the hair is facing the same direction.

2. You have options: 
-Bonded extensions fuse individual pieces to your hair using heat. RPZL uses ultrasound, however. These can be the most costly, but last the longest.

-Tape extensions attach to your hair in adhesive strips. They can be more affordable, but require maintenance to adjust the strips.

-Weaves are sewn into your braided hair. These tend to be the most affordable option, and will last about three months.

-Clip-ins attach to your hair with combs. You can easily place and remove them, making them ideal for special occasions and short-term wear.

When finally buying the hair goes to your  safest option and  goes with a trusted expert! Talk to legit hair salons and make sure they know exactly the look you are going for and show them your vision! Also make sure you do your research! 


Later this month we will show you our favorite hair places that we go to get our hair done from monthly up keep, to extensions and to dramatic color changes.

Instagram Hacks?


We love a good Instagram post! But I do find it hard to take a good picture to make it look "fashionable" and "chic".  Sometimes my camera angle just does not capture the beauty of my new shoes or handbag. Here are a few tips that Refinery 29 has provided. I picked the top 3 hacks that I need to start using immediately. 

The Lewk-From-Above Shot Hack: To make it work, hold the phone above your head with the headphones plugged in and use the front-facing camera to see what you're doing. By clicking on the volume of the headphones, you can quickly take a photo without having to contort your arm or hand to click on the screen. Bonus: One hand can even be in the photo, to better show off your new watch/bracelet/mani (just hide the cord in your palm).

The Organized Chaos Shot Hack: The trick is to start editing while you're taking the photo. Click and hold your finger on the darkest-hued place on the screen and move your finger up or down to change the exposure until it looks exactly how you want it. Doing this before taking the pic is a great way to guarantee your final shot will actually be usable.


The In-Mirror #OOTD Shot Hack: If you grip your phone with your hand and use your index finger to reach the volume button, it's a shortcut to snapping that's a whole lot more comfortable.
