Natural hair extensions are one of the most amazing inventions that can give you length, volume and color without the commitment in 1 – 2 hours depending on the type of hair extensions you have chosen.

I could give you many reasons to trust Indulge Salon, York, Pa and Greensboro, Ga with your hair but since I have limited space here, I’ll give you 5 to start with:

1. COMPLETE CUSTOMIZED CONSULTATION
   The evaluation of your hair condition should be a consideration BEFORE you choose the TYPE of natural hair extensions. Here are some considerations:
   1. a. Fine hair should not have a heavy weight of hair or the weight and pulling on it could pull the hair extension and your hair out if not maintained properly.
   2. b. Medical issues in the body will affect the outcome of the hair extensions whether they can stay in longer or if you need short term options. Some medical conditions encourage thinning of hair.
   3. c. Thick hair has density and coarseness that will require MORE hair to make the hairstyle look like a normal head of thick hair. This will require more hair at the base of the neck and distributed up through to the crown. This will be more expensive due to the density and the amount of hair needed.
   4. d. Medium hair without medical side effects will be easier to apply but still needs more hair for the base of the hair at the bottom depending on length and thickness wanted. We will look at the style you are interested for a reference.
2. INSPIRATION
   Bringing a photo of your favorite hairstyle will help us determine the type of hair extensions that you could utilize vs another to achieve your look. We specialize in 5 different brands of hair extensions. Photos you may find on Pinterest may not provide you a “real” snapshot of the hair you’re liking. When you bring this photo in, we will make sure we discuss your options of hair, density, and the length and thickness of the hair.
3. PROPER COLOR BLENDING
   My teams at Indulge Salon (www.indulgesalon.com/location-hours) will talk to you about the hair color whether you want to keep your hair natural or have it highlighted/lowlighted or taken back to a natural color. We will need to color your hair prior to ordering hair extensions in order to bring your personal hair dream to life.
4. QUALITY
   Our hair extensions have a natural look and feel to them. The hair extensions are 100% human hair and can be cut, colored (deposit only), styled with a curling wand, flat ironed and washed and blown dry as you would your own hair.
5. EXPERIENCE
   We have the experience necessary to create beautiful dream hair on hair that is often deemed as “too short” or “not a candidate for hair extensions.” We can apply these hair extensions anywhere on the head that has a minimum of 6” or more to covered the attachment bonding. The top of the hair can be done with a very small fusion adhesive to make it look natural. We would not use the others that have a heavier weight or thicker clamp or bond that would see through. These are some of the things that we would talk about at our consultation prior to ordering hair.

As you can see that hair extensions are personal to every person that has them applied to their hair. We have many options to choose from whether we use a fused bond that is heated then fused with your hair, micro -links that the keratin tip that is inserted into a metal cylinder that is then clamped close. Tape in hair extensions are great for a short time period such as 1 – 3 months usage.

The newest hair extension technology is Hairdreams Nano. These hair extensions come in 5-Star and 7-Star Quality that is basically invisible to others and integrated into your own hair.
With this high-quality hair, two colors can be blended to make it look like your sunkissed hair in browns or blondes.

Small gifts are appreciated. Something simple that is personal means a lot.

Soap, lotion, simple card says thank you in big ways. The appreciation of acknowledging the work that goes into hosting a gathering is not a small thing.

Does better hair health come from improved living habits?

Read 5 tips to better health here…to great hair!

Carson McCord – my son is happy

I’ve always been fascinated with mental health, daily living activities, attitudes that result in great hair, skin and nails.

I have raised my babies to adulthood with two very different lifestyles that were applicable to them. Stay with me here. When we talk about daily living habits, this means what do you do on a daily basis with your habits to  support a positive mental attitude. Happy people have better outlooks in life. Happy people have the magnetic ways of attracting more positive to themselves. 

This isn’t to say that angry people couldn’t become happy. They can however; sometimes in life’s happenstances, stuff happens. It’s what you do with what you have before you react to the situation. Reaction, is the key word in how we handle our stress related activities.

Let’s get to the core of better health habits that can help you grow your hair, skin and nails quickly.

1. Eating more frequently with less volume. Consuming larger or heavy meal before bed can lead to insomnia. Avoid foods like pizza that could cause indigestion. Try nuts or yogurt if you have to eat.
2. Excercise early in the day. Working out can help you fall asleep faster and more soundly, but you want to avoid close to bed time (even though you might have just got home from work) because your body secrets the Cortisol for your stress hormone that is the last thing you want to stimulate.
3. Quiet! Loud noises can be distracting and detrimental to sleep. Use white noise to help you relax or app. Try head phones to block out noise.
4. Dim the lights. Lights signal your brain to make melatonin, the hormone that induces sleep. Dim all lights at least 2 – 3 hours prior heading to bed. This will relax you and help you chill out. With some of the oils such as Lavender can be applied to the wrist or in a mist for an aromatherapy candle to enhance your mood. My daughter uses this for her twins to help them relax and go to sleep before they go to bed.
5. Avoid naps during the day. Now if you get up early and work out then you have the flexibility in your day that you are up another 8 – 12 hours then catch a 20 minute nap. If you are feeling the slump (like I do during my work day) take a walk, eat lunch that is light. My sister takes a nap at the same time during the day and she will say I have to take a nap and then she calls me back right after her moment.

You know the saying, “what goes in must come out” through your hair. If you lead a healthy and happy lifestyle even though you have some work stress or family stress, your body will respond accordingly. We recommend supplementing your diet with CollagenBlu learn more here.

I know that you may go with Paleo, South Beach diets, Vegan or whatever you choose to do, its about BALANCE. Of course. I prescribe to chocolate for my attitude and large diet coke Shh… Is this good for you? The soda is not good for you. I drink so much water to offset the volume of soda I drink.

When my son was hurt at 11 weeks of age, he was totally dependent on me to provide healthy foods and the other items that are already described above. It’s easier to manage others more than ourselves. I have had to go organic and vegan foods until my son became iron deficient! As you can see in the photo the vegetables are whole then I would puree them into a smooth consistency in order for him to eat his food by mouth. When my son was injured, he had lost his ability to chew. In order to keep him healthy, the flavors of food needed to be tasty yet, give him energy and easy to digest. 

Health needs to be managed well and you can also get blood tests to see what lies beneath. Blood levels will tell you more of what is going on to help you manage your potassium, magnesium and cholesterol, etc.

All of these great tips will help you keep your body healthy that leads to fabulous thicker, fuller hair and nail growth. After a year and 1/2, my hair  has recovered from stress, lack of sleep and you can see the difference between where the hair is health and the ends that are thin and stribbly.
