You and your client can choose to either do a full head of hair extensions for maximum volume or you can strategically place extensions where volume is needed the most.”

New Styles from Hairdreams
LOS ANGELES, CA. - Keeping up with the hottest styles in fashion and hair can be challenging. Especially if you cut off your locks to get last season’s ultra short bob or last year’s chic Posh ‘do. Are you having issues growing out your mane to get the new look this year? Hairdreams' new styles can instantly lengthen, volumize or just add more style to help obtain the hottest new looks of the season.
From glamorous locks, colorful strands to glitzy styles, Hairdreams outlines four trends: it’s all about volume to capture the longer lengths, lift curls and bring hair more texture and fullness
 Diva Style
FASHION: This style has attitude written all over it. The ultimate feminine style is Diva Style. From curvaceous gowns and over-the-top glitz and glamour in clothing and accessories, this look captures the true essence of a woman reminiscent of the 30s and 40s. Sexy cuts and shapes accented with sequins
and jewels truly represent a woman’s allure and appeal.
HAIR: To get this look in order, hair needs to be silky, shiny and voluminous. Soft waves frame the face in medium to long lengths for couture style that
stays in place. Geometric cuts, micro-fringe and “Diva-Updo” updos or dramatic chignons complement this style’s elegant glam.
 Pop Art
FASHION: A resurgence of POP culture and art dominate this trend. Andy Warhol would have been pleased to see colorful Pop Art style from the 60s and 70s. From bold graphic prints to vibrant, bright hues, this trend encompasses a touch of hippie looks, loose flowing dresses to modern bohemian styles for a distinctive fashion statement.
HAIR: To match the boldness of this trend, hair is longer – the longer the better! Hair can be seen as super straight and sleek with a middle parting or naturally loose and wavy. Precision cuts or fringe take the spotlight in hair with color effects in bold tones.
 Retro-Rebel
FASHION: Once relegated to rock stars, this Retro-Rebell look has moved onto the catwalks as one of the hottest looks of the year. Think of 50’s vintage and punk – this touch of gothic style features patent leather, skin-barring (and skin tight!) cuts and fabrics that offer a little provocative fashion. Black is the dominant color of choice with a mod appeal.
HAIR: Volume is definitely the key to accompany this funky, hip style. From texturized, teased, voluminous hair to geometric cuts to accentuate the face, these head-turning styles make a bold statement. Styling products are used to the max to make beehive styles bigger and better. And men too, can enjoy this new hair trend with bigger, longer hair styled to perfection with loose curls or heavily teased at the crown.
 Best Nature
FASHION: As eco-style continues its way into fashion, we see more natural textures, fabrics, and colors that are more sustainable and better for our environment. This element of fashion features more classic cuts, earth tones and maybe a hint of color in the berry and teal hues. Think Calvin Klein and his muted shades with classic cuts.
HAIR: There’s a natural softness to this look – less styling products and more movement to hair. Styles are more flowing. Long layers frame the face in subdued styles as color takes a mono-tone hue approach – either natural blonde multi-tone highlights or chocolate brown hair color. Tiny braids accent hair for a feminine touch as tight ponytails are also in check with volume at the crown. Chic chignons complete this look for a touch of elegance.
Hairdreams® is available in hair salons and spas across the U.S. and around the world.

Hair Extensions at the 2009 Salon & Spa Expo in Long Beach
Just as last year thousands of professionals and students of the beauty industry came to the
2009 Salon & Spa Expo held in the Long Beach  Convention Center. They came to the biggest beauty show on the West Coast to learn more about the latest products the beauty industry has to offer. In the 2008 expo everything related to "hair" enjoyed the largest popularity and this year was nothing different. Hair is HOT. The latest hair styles, hair care products, tools for stylists and of course hair extensions dominated the expo.
Many companies
held classes and demonstrations of their products. Several stylists
showed new cutting techniques and created wonderful hairstyles. Just as last year many visiters wanted to learn more about the different hair extensions. There were some new companies and we also saw many familiar faces. Donna Bella Milan was there and their booth was constantly filled with people who wanted to learn more. Derrick Porter from Donna Bella Milan mentioned that it has been a great year for them. They introduced some new product on the show and it seemed that they were even more busy than last year. We also spoke with representatives of So.Cap USA (California distributor), Klix Hair Extensions, Hotheads, Cinderella hair and many others and they all found many visitors who showed a great interest in their products.
The modern stylist wants to offer more than the standard salon services. With the still growing popularity of hair extensions it is a great opportunity to add this service to almost any salon. Many stylists who are new to hair extensions are aware of the growing market
and are interested in offering the service to their clients. They wanted to learn more about the different techniques but also experienced extension specialists are looking to learn new methods.
There are many good techniques and many
stylists want to offer more than one system.
Companies we've missed
Although there were many hair extension companies present at the Long Beach expo we did miss some of the big names in the business that we expected to see. Paris
Hilton's Dream Catchers for example did not come to Long Beach this year.
Last year they had a large booth and Paris Hilton herself came to the show for a press conference. This year nothing.
We also missed Hairdreams and hairlocs who both had an impressive booth in 2008. We have tried to contact all of them to find out why they were not at the biggest beauty show on the West Coast but so far we did not receive any comment.
The absence of some known companies did not hurt all the other hair extension companies. They must have enjoyed the large crowds we saw in their booths.
Conclusion: Hair Extensions are still very HOT.

Hair
Extensions - Not Just for Length
Easily and Instantly Add Haircolor, Volume & Texture to
Your Hair!.
Mahopac Falls, NY Hair Extensions
… their commonly accepted name does not do them justice. Professional
hair extensions are not just for extending the length of your hair.
Hair extensions will instantly add exciting new haircolor and highlights
without the use of potentially harmful chemicals. Extensions will
easily build endless new volume and texture to your thin and lifeless
hair. The desire for beautiful volume and texture is evident with
the abundance of volumizing hair products, hairstyling tools and
professional texturizing salon services. They also allow you to
creatively express yourself with ornamental crystals and feathers.
Instead of creating the illusion of hair color, volume or texture
with these products and tools, another option is to actually add
them with professional salon hair extensions.
 Haircolor
is very popular today, with over 75% of women now coloring their
hair and a growing percentage of men following suit. Unfortunately,
most men and women today are unaware or uneducated to the benefits
of adding hair extensions for haircolor rather than using harsh
chemical dyes. For example, SO.CAP. USA Hair Extensions offers 81
unique haircolor shades in three different hair textures. With this
many options, you are bound to find a haircolor or highlight shade
that you just can't leave the salon without. With hair extensions,
there are no surprises. The best thing about hair extensions for
color is that it will not damage your hair, yet they will provide
you with the complete haircolor or highlights you've always wanted.
You can select your haircolor shades and blends, without any guessing
games.

green, bright yellow, pink, violet, orange and many more. Dual-tone
fantasy haircolor extensions are also available for those women

extension ornamentations. These are perfect for parties, weddings,
proms, upstyles, special occasions or just a fun night on the town.

Natura's XO Synthetic Hair
XO Hair System from Qingdao, China introduces Natura's XO Synthetic
Hair, a new synthetic hair that is resistant to heat (up to
250°C or 482°F) allowing you to curl and style it over and
over again.
John Lee, spokesperson for XO Hair System says:
"It doesn't stop there. If we mix this super fiber with real
human hair, combining the top characteristics of both, the synthetic
portion becomes virtually undetectable as it blends in with real
human hair.
This is something you can't accomplish using just any synthetic
hair, as cheaper synthetic hair won't blend in as well but with
Natura's XO Synthetic Hair it's virtually undetectable.
Curls last longer because real human
hair follows the curls of synthetic hair, and naturally holds its
curls longer. In our test, after making curls at 180°C using
a curling iron, curl extension with time was observed. Human hair
started to lose its curl only after 3 days, whereas there was no
visible change with the curls in synthetic hair.
The price of real human hair is constantly on the
rise. So imagine paying half of what you would pay for with real
human hair, without suffering the benefits of having real human
hair.
Sure synthetic hair is still synthetic hair, and there will always
be those who prefer real human hair. But for those looking for an
alternative, this is a great solution!"

Dedicated ’colourist’
of fashion
Verlocke! Hair extensions match hair and fashion for the spring/summer
2008 look
 Bold
colours, stripes in your hair, coloured fringes... watch out for
more – this is the hair look for summer 2008. Anna Sui shows
in her spring/summer collection 2008 how the fashion-conscious can
perfectly complement, enhance or contradict the look of a gown with
colour in her hair. Hair turns into a fashion accessory in its own
right.
 This
new take on the colour of our hair is possible thanks to hair extensions.
Penny Roberstson, head of training at Verlocke!, sums it up: “After
all, there is no risk as there are no chemicals: they can stay for
months or be taken out the very next day to make way for something
new.” The colour doesn’t wash out and stays as bright
as on day one. As Penny said, chemicals damage the hair, therefore
no bleaching or colouring also means no more experiments with unsure
outcomes and longlasting consequences.
The new season shows purple streaks today and an
instant turquoise fringe tomorrow – colour accents make a statement
and put a smile on your face. Who says the handbag has to match
and hair has to be subdued? Rules are abandoned and make way for
more creativity and a more interesting and colourful life. This
is not about a fixed trend; this is about style in progress with
a lot of fun!
A palette of 18 statement colours for the fashion-conscious
can be found on www.verlocke.com. Verlocke! quality pre-bonded real
hair extensions are used by hairdressers but are also available
for D.I.Y. Verlocke! has now opened their UK webshop for orders
from the USA. Receive further information by sending us an email:
