Pros and Cons of Hair Extensions
Pros
Tape in hair extensions are the safest method of hair extensions available. The panels are lightweight and thin and also cover a larger area than other methods like Strand by Strand. When applied and removed correctly they cause no damage to the hair.
Tape in hair extensions have the fastest application time. Volume applications take 10 – 30 minutes and Length applications take 40 – 60 minutes.
Tape in hair extensions are reusable. The hair can be worn for up to 6 – 8 weeks per application, which is convenient because this is when most women would return to their salon for a cut or color service.
Tape in extensions are the most natural looking and comfortable hair extension method available.
Cons
You can’t wash your hair or excessively sweat for 24 – 48 hours after application because the bond needs time to cure and adhere properly to the hair.
You will need to use a shampoo and styling products that are free of silicone of any oils because they could cause the panels to slip.
Why hair coloring at home may not work for you.
The challenge with trying to do your own hair color, is that individuals all have different types of hair color and texture. When you purchase a hair color product at the grocery store, the picture on the box may not be how your current hair color looks; because the company has no idea what your base hair color currently is, so they give you some ideas in their directions, but it's a best guess. When you come into a salon, we look at your current hair color, we want to know if you have used hair color before, what is your hair texture, what final color are you looking to have? We need to evaluate all of these options before we can customize a color formula for you. Our stylists are licensed and have years of experience at mixing formulas, and we know what colors will work with your type of hair. There are so many different hair color brands, and options out there, each salon will specialize in only a few select color products. The reason we do that is that, is we need to know how these products work and what they will do, once they are applied to our client's hair. We cannot possibly know all of the products on the market, so we focus on a few different high quality products that we have experience with using. While we know coloring your hair at home can be less expensive; by coming to a professional salon you are paying for our knowledge, as well as the products. Your hair is such an important part of your face, and your overall looks, please take the time to treat it right and visit a professional salon.

In doing so, we have found that with proper communication and a well considered application, everyone can benefit from the Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatment.
