SUPERMODEL JASMINE LENNARD WEARS HAIR2INSPIRE HAIR EXTENSIONS IN THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE

Jasmine Lennard really made an impression in the Celebrity Big Brother house this year with some of her opinions and straight talking but a big topic of discussion when it came to Jasmine was her beautiful hair. The beauty of Jasmines hair was not just the fullness of her mane but also how undetectable her hair extensions were. Unbeknown to many Jasmine was wearing hair extensions from yours truly! Yes, Jasmine was wearing 200g of Hair2inspire luxurious Virgin hair in lengths 20 and 22 inches.

Hairstylist Corina Newton who applied the extensions for Jasmines says "Jasmine has got naturally thick hair and so the extensions were added at the base of the head for length and graduated volume.  The application method I used was quick and simple but a method that could guarantee that the hair was attached so that it stayed intact. I used a natural plaiting method that did not include the use of glue or any other adhesive that would damage Jasmines natural hair".

Jasmine used hair that was a natural virgin colour as it blended in with her hair colour but our hair is available in a various range of colours and so can easily be matched to an indiviuals needs. In addition we offer a customised service whereby we can highlight and colour hair to meet customer requirements. What is so great about our hair is the fact that it is top quality 100% human hair and so can be treated like it is your own, it can be washed, dyed, bleached, tonged, straightened and so on, there are no limitations to what you can do with it or the looks you can achieve with it.

Wedding day hairstyle tips

What a beautiful weekend, not just weather wise, the Brides of Culture exhibition held at the Crowne Plaza was a delightful affair. We had a stand at this event and it was a great experience for us.  Not only did we find out what our customers want but we also found out the numerous questions you had on your mind when it comes to hair extensions, wigs, extension care and maintenance. Something we found which was common amongst the brides to be that visited our stand was the fear of not finding a suitable bridal hairstyle for the day, fittingly we have sought the advice of one of our partner hairstylists who specialises in Bridal hair to contribute to this weeks blog.

H2I team xx

 On a brides wedding day no one there should out shine her, which is why choosing the right hair style is so important. A bride will want a style that not only looks good on the day of her wedding but one that will look good in the wedding photos and film years later. Here are my top tips :

• Find a style that is timeless and elegant and the same can be said for any accessories that you may choose to use within your style. Accessories are a optional touch to a wedding hair design with the classic favourites being a tiara or flowers. The key to wearing hair accessories on your wedding day is  not to over do it. Never wear flowers and a tiara or a tiara and hair clips. This will over power the actual style of your hair and make it look cluttered.
• Speak to your stylist about the use of hair accessories as they will only compliment certain styles. If you are determined to wear them as part of your do, take them with you when you first go and see your stylist so that  you can both pick a style that incorporates them and makes the most of them.
•  If you use tiaras or flowers as your hair accessories choose something simple such as a single flower just behind your ear or a simple jewelled headband worn low with a bit of height in the hair behind it.

• Worried that with your short hair you wont get the look your looking for? Invest in some hair extensions to wear on that day for more flexibility. If you dont want to sew in or bond in the hair use the clip- in method which is great for an instant, temporary transformation.By adding hair extensions or a hair piece you can add both length and volume to your hairdo.
•  Do not to use too much products on your hair on the day of your wedding so that your hair or hair extensions appear natural and has a gorgeous texture.

No matter what hair style you decide on for your wedding day you should always ensure that you have a trial run of it before your wedding to make sure that on the actual day everything goes according to plan. A trial run will make sure that any problems you encounter can be taken care of.

I hope you find these tips useful if you have any questions regarding any points in this article please email info@hair2inspire.com . I can assure you that you can find beautiful human hair extensions that will suit your wedding day needs at hair2inspire, check out their facebook page: www.facebook.com/hair2inspire1 or call thier customer line 0800 458 8519.

Invisible Part Weave

What is an Invisible Part Weave?


An Invisible part weaves is a full head weave which gives the illusion of a natural parting in the hair. It is a great revolution for many women as it serves as a great protective style for women who want a style with versatility without leaving any of their own hair out. This makes it possible for the wearer to use any texture or color of weave they would like without trying to blend in thier own hair.

Here is a step by step guide to achieving a seamless invisible part:

Firstly, hair should be washed and blow-dried. For a middle parting make the part as close to the middle as possible, however if you want the part slanted or on the side, part it that way. This part will be the only part of the hair showing, so make it neat.

Secondly, hair should be braided going toward the back in cornrows. Start in the front where the part was made. Continue all the way until your whole head is completely braided. Thread the weaving needle and attach the loose ends of the cornrows to the base of your braid using a basic stitch sewing method. There should be no ends of the braids hanging.
Thirdly, sew in hair extensions by measuring the hair extension across the rows of braids. Cut the extension to fit that area. Sew the hair onto the braids or onto the net (if you use a weave net to protect cornrows when weaving) using the basic stitch method. Once you reach the end, make a loop in the thread to form a knot. Continue this process all the way up until you get to the crown of the hair, about 1 inch away from your part.

Finally, cut the remaining hair extensions into approximately thirty one-inch strips. Depending upon the size of your head you may need more or less. Taking one strip of extension at a time, lightly cover the weft with weaving glue. Wait 10 seconds to allow the glue to become tacky. Starting ½ inch above your hairline, firmly place the extension. Lay the extension pieces in a slightly slanted side-to-side formation. Do not cover the part; the part is the only area that should remain visible. Each strip should go directly above the other one in the same direction. Continue this process on both sides of the part. Comb the hair down to cover the wefts. It should appear that the hair is growing out of your scalp, thus creating an invisible part.

Many hair stylists leave out the front of the hair and gel it down then proceed to glue the strips down on top but it is more protective to braid it all and use a net, you can still get that flawless look, it’sall in the technique. Trust me when I say, practice makes perfect.

I hope this guide was useful; I will be working with hair2inspire team, bringing styling tips, tutorials and ideas to their customers via their blog and you-tube channel.

Pressing On and Almost there!!!!!!!!

This month’s blog article is really an update on the operations at H2I as we’ve been extremely busy over the past couple of months. We have just entered the 2^nd month of the year and what a year it has been already. Firstly, we would like to extend belated Happy New Year greetings and wishes to all; we hope you are all on the road to achieving what you wish for in 2012.

At H2I We started the year with a bang, we finalized details of our Distribution Program for both retailers and wholesalers, we found the New face of Hair2inspire and we had an amazing Photo-shoot with the renowned photographer Mark Barnfield, Black Hair and Beauty Best Newcomer winning stylist: Alero May(who was also one of the hair models on the day) and the talented stylist Addis Haynes.  Makeup artist on the day was the acclaimed makeup artist to the stars David Gorgeous.

The fabulous pictures will be revealed on the website which is to be launched today for a test run on the 2.2.12 and official launch on the 18.2.12. The website is being designed in-house by our creative designer who goes by the name of Royalty designs. We have all been contributing to the site from conception as we wanted a site that reflects our personalities and showcases our products. We are all passionate about the web and wanted to use the latest technologies to build a user friendly site that will be a good experience for our clients; highly usable and functional.  We have sent a few shout outs on twitter, on our facebook fan page and via email to our wonderful customers trying to find out what features they would like on our site.  The feedback has been amazing and we feel truly honored that our customers would take the time out to help us. In fact it is due to a suggestion from one of our clients the reason why we have limited the launch date of the 2nd February 2012 to a sample number of our customers so that they can test the site and give us feedback. We want no holds barred feedback, whether positive or negative so that we can work on the site until we get a site that really meets the needs of our customers.  The official launch date of the completed site will be the 18th February 2012 once we are sure that you are 100% happy with the site. We really appreciate your continued support and suggestions which have and will continue to help us to grow into a better company.

Difference between hand-tied wefts and machine wefts

As previously stated Hair2inspire will be using our blog as a medium to answer our customers frequently asked questions.

We get a lot of enquiries about our hair extension products but one of the most frequently asked questions is "what is the difference between hand-tied wefts and machine-tied wefts?" This question is very popular; we have lost count of the number of customers that has asked us this, this is mainly due to the fact that  hair extensions with hand-tied wefts are sold at a premium price. What puzzles so many people is why they cost so much and what the benefits are.

First, let us describe the process to you:

A hand-tied weft is essentially a seam that holds all of the base ends of the hair together and is manually woven into the weave by a human and custom attention is given to each weave whereas a machine weft is hair that is fed into a machine and weaved tightly into the seam, this happens in a manner similar to that of the sewing machine.

Machine and hand-tied wefts

So what are the benefits of a hand-tied weft you ask?

Firstly, the hand-tied weft is usually significantly slimmer than the standard machine-tied weft and the slimmer the weft the easier it is to hide and less-likely for someone to detect if they touch your head. Hair that is machine-wefted tends to be bulkier because the weave itself needs to be hefty so the machine can get a good enough hold of the hair. This is an important factor because no-one wants anyone to see or feel their weave; it is the horrid tell sign of hair extensions.

Secondly, another great benefit of hand-tied hair extensions is that the hair on a hand-tied weft is much more securely attached to the weft. This means that each strand of hair will remain attached to the weft much longer than their counterparts which are machine-sewn. Hair from hand-tied wefts does not shred because of this and therefore the hair extensions last longer. They don't thin out like machine-wefted hair extensions therefore have a much longer life span.

The Limitations of hand-tied wefts are that it is recommended that the weft is not cut; you have to use the whole piece without cutting it. If the weft exceeds the needed length of the targeted track, then merely fold over the end and double-up the weft to the length that is needed. If the hand-tied weft gets cut, the weft will unravel. To save the hair you will have to try and seal the cut weft with some sort of clear liquid super glue or try and create a new knot which is a very intricate process and usually a step that requires the skill of an expert.

Our hand-tied wefts come in strips which are not usually more than in 10-inch widths (from one end of the weft to the other end), so there is not usually a need to double up, but if you do have to do so the end result is still a fairly flat finish.

Another limitation of hand-tied wefts are that due to the slimness of the weft, you can only really sew in the tracks, bonding the glue to the slim weft without getting any on the hair is quite a challenge and can be quite messy. Despite these limitations we highly recommend hand-tied wefts, our suppliers are specialists in hand-tying and knotting and have taken the craft to a whole new level. Anyone who sees our beautifully made wefts agree that they are truly an art form. Our wefts are strong, secure, and don't shed or become hard and sticky.

Hand-tied Russian wefts

Hand-tied Peruvian wefts

Ok, you ask "  If handwefts are so great, why are machine wefts so popular and the best seller on the market?". Machine wefts are more sturdy and can be cut without un raveling and so is very popular with stylists who are not skilled to deal with hand wefts, also the ability to cut the weft allows for more flexibility with the hair style. The negative side to machine wefts usually is the shredding of the hair, however our suppliers re-inforce the weft and so the shredding of our hair is kept to a bare minimum meaning that the lifespan of the hair is longer. Both our machine-wefted and hand-wefted hair can be re-used over and over again.

Diva Hair Competition: Facebook Fanpage:Hair2inspire

Hair2Inspire have launched a Diva Hair Competition. To enter you need to submit a photo to competitions@hair2inspire.com by 6pm on the 18^th September 2011.

You may wonder what we mean by Diva Hair as the word diva can be interpreted in many different ways.  The word is originally an Italian word meaning a famous female opera singer, it is closely related to the word "prima donna". The word entered the English language in the late 19th century and today the word is used to describe someone who behaves as a goddess or queen; it is used disparingly to describe someone who acts overly entitled. In Beyonces” song “Diva”, she says “a Diva is a female version of a hustler”. We at H2I believe that a Diva is someone who doesn’t follow rules; she doesn’t dress in a certain way or wear her hair in one way.  A Diva is about defining what you want to be, how you want to be perceived and then going for it. A Diva inspires others, be it to look good, to work harder, to have more confidence, the list goes on and on.  So a Diva hair style has no limitations, no boundries, it is about your style, whether it is short, long, natural, extensions, coloured, bleached etc etc etc. So Ladies get snapping because the competition is open to everyone.

This collection of divas hairstyles should give you inspiration:

     

The Competition will be run on our facebook fanpage, all pictures entered into the competition will be posted in an album on our facebook page called Diva Hair.  From 9am GMT on the 19^th September the album will be open for votes, fans of Hair2inspire will be asked to “Like” the picture they like the most, the picture with the most "likes" will by 9pm GMT on 30^th September 2011 will win a full head of human hair extensions, the runner up will receive a goody bag.

Good Luck to everyone who enters.

Virgin Indian Remy hair

Hair2inspire specialise in natural, virgin, remy, full cuticle, 100% real human hair.

What is Remy hair?

Remy hair means that all the hair cuticles are facing the same way. When human hair is collected from donors, the hair is cut from the head very carefully and bundled and tied so that all the hair lays in the same direction. Unfortunately, some hair extensions are manufactured from hair that is collected from hair salon floors or from women that collect hair from their brushes and then sell to suppliers. Sadly, in some countries, collecting hair and selling it is one of the ways that people earn money. However, hair extensions made from this hair will mean that the hair is facing in different directions and is called non remy hair. If you've ever encountered non remy hair you'll know that it is a disaster using them for hair extensions, especially permanent extensions. Even with the best hair care products and continuous maintenance, the hair will quickly become unmanageable and turn into a birds nest. Ensure that you buy remy hair every time to avoid headaches.   


What is Virgin Hair?

Refers to hair that is completely unprocessed, and intact. To qualify as virgin hair, it must meet rigorous standards including: not been permed, dyed, colored, bleached, chemically processed in any way.
The harvesting process for virgin hair is more time consuming and meticulous, which adds to the premium value of virgin hair.

Indian Hair

The most common choice of hair on the market is Indian virgin hair. Indian virgin hair is so popular because it has a texture and colour that can easily be matched to people of different ethnic backgrounds, it also looks great without breaking the bank. It is at the cheaper end of the virgin hair market because it much more easier to obtain and is not quite as thick in density as the other hair types but it does cost more than the standard human hair extensions available at your local beauty supply store. This is because it lasts longer, looks better, and is easier to reuse. Virgin Indian human hair has a smooth, flat cuticle that guarantees silky, tangle-free tresses.

The advantage of Indian hair in the manufacture of hair extensions is that the structural properties of Indian hair, particularly the cortical cells within the cuticle, are extremely strong and as such, Indian hair can be extensively coloured without becoming brittle or dry.

With limitless styling options; the Indian hair of which they are made can be :

• coloured,
• curled
• straightened using tongs and ceramic straighteners.

These hair extensions look and feel great, remaining soft and tangle free. The straight hair is normally straight and turns slightly wavy when it is wet.

The Natural curly hair comes in different curly textures. Mainly it comes in deep curls, medium curls and deep wave. The hair can be made straight using the iron straightening method and due to its natural curls it normally bounces back once it is wet.

Our suppliers use superior wefting on our Indian hair extensions range to ensure consistent fullness of the hair extensions and to keep shredding to a minimum.

We have recently introduced an exclusive range of non-virgin remy hair, hair that has been partially chemically treated in some way either by colouring or bleaching for our european clients in colours:

 We also offer a customized service, whereby you can order extensions customised to your requirements so you can choose any length (8”-32”), any colour(s) and any texture, this order takes between 7-10 days.

In our virgin Indian hair range we stock:

• Machine weft hair
• Hand wefted
• Clip-on hair
• Pre-bonded hair
• Stick tip

We sell our hair in 100g bundles, what you purchase really depends on the look you are going for. For partial weaves you will typically need aprox 100g. For the average full head weave you will need at least 200g. Longer and fuller styles typically require more hair.

The Beauty of Hair Extensions

What is the beauty of hair extensions you may ask? Well for a start, hair extensions are the easiest and most popular method of adding length, colour, density and style to your existing hair.  Hair extensions can change your appearance in an instant and enable an individual to rock hair that looks natural, healthy, and stylish. Today, more and more women are realising that extensions can be the answer to a myriad of hair woes- from hair that is too thin, to hair that is too short, to hair that is just not the right color, a quality weave can fix it all.

MODEL IS WEARING 18" VIRGIN INDIAN HAIR

While many women love the look and feel of long, luscious locks, they bemoan the high cost of quality hair extensions but why go cheap several times a month when you can invest in high-quality human hair extensions just once?.   The key to having a beautiful head of hair is to use beautiful hair in your weave and as with all things, you will certainly get what you pay for when it comes to hair extensions. If you have already made the decision and commitment to go forward with a weave, it does not make sense to cut corners, especially the important ones like hair quality.Opting for poor quality cheaper hair extensions can be a nightmare as you leave yourself open to so many disasters:

           EXCESSIVE SHREDDING

MATTED HAIR EXTENSIONS AFTER A WASH

TANGLED HAIR EXTENSIONS

First and foremost, we do not recommend using synthetic hair for your weave because no matter the cost or quality, artificial hair extensions will never combine seamlessly with your natural head of hair and they only look good for a very short space of time and they tend to matt very easily. Secondly be very careful with the vast amount of hair companies that say that they are selling human hair, as  rule of thumb, the cheaper the hair, the lesser the quality and the more likely to be combined with hair from other sources or even synthetic fibres. We have been in the industry long enough to have seen it all, we have even been duped in the past by "so called " human hair suppliers from abroad but we have learnt some big lessons. We have travelled to numerous destinations to source the hair, invested money to carry out extensive research on the hair and most importantly tried and tested it for ourselves. We believe that the only way to get a top quality hair weave is to use hair extensions that are made with real human hair because nothing beats the versatility of human hair extensions.  Real quality human hair can be straightened with a flat iron, curled with heat, chemically treated to perm or bleached and dyed. Once you start considering your different real hair options, remember that better quality hair will always cost more because it is not as readily available. Hair that has always been well cared for and not chemically treated is scarce, and therefore more costly than damaged or synthetic hair extensions, but it is absolutely worth it when it comes to making your new and improved hair as perfect as possible.  Each month we will do a segment on the different types of real human hair available on the market e.g Indian, Brazilian, Peruvian etc, the different forms the hair is available in e.g machine weft, hand weft, skin weft and the different application methods. We want to prove to you that jaw dropping beautiful hair is not just for a-list celebrities anymore, any woman can now enjoy the benefits of a beautifully weaved hairstyle.
