Natural Girls Go Braidless with Chi Enviro Smoothing Treatment

Im so excited about the smoothing system offered by Farouk! It is, in my opinion, the best smoothing product on the market. I have had a chance to work with this product and I can tell you first hand that this is the answer to natural hair!! Clients love the option of going back and forth between curly hair and straight hair. Traditionally textured hair was straightened chemically with the use of what's known as relaxer or chemical straighteners. Soft curl perms were also a way of restructuring ones natural curl pattern into the curl of their choice. This has been commonly referred to as "perm" or "jheri curl". We are also familiar with changing the hair using a "texturizing" by using a product similar to relaxer but didn't require the smoothing or the extended time that a relaxer requires. Well out with the old and in with the new!!! My favorite hair company has graced the globe with a new system that, when properly administered, can yield great results that can last the client up to six months!! With CHI Enviro Smoothing Treatment, a natural client is able to wear their natural hair minus the frizz!! A thermal straightening proceeds the application of the product and once applied and ironed the hair is able to withstand humidity without completely reverting back to the hairs original state. It's relaxes the curl in your hair without breaking or removing any bonds from the hair. So flat ironing natural hair is made easy with this system! Once your hair is blow dried after the application, you are sure to notice an immediate difference in the condition of your hair. Client after client are wowed at the ease of this service but they are even more amazed at the results it renders. I have been a stylist in the field for going on eleven years now and I can honestly say, I have never seen a product tame natural, coarse, dense hair the way this one does!! Learn more about CHI Enviro Smoothing Treatment at Studio 12 where I offer the service to appropriate candidates! I suggest waiting one more shampoo service after the treatment before having your Braidless Extensions installed. No more puffy hair in between your tracks!!

Braidless after Six Weeks

The length of time a lady can wear extension really depends on that client. Angie happens to be one GoesheGirl who takes hair serious. Her routine includes securing her previous extensions at night with a silk or satin bonnet. In this photo, Angie has just received a shampoo service on a braidless that was installed six weeks ago. Some clients may experience losing the wrap at night so for further help, I suggest using a cotton scarf or wrap on top of the silk/satin bonnet. Never allow your braidless extensions to go uncovered through the night. Extensions are an investment so protect that hair and you too will be able to extend the life of your braidless. 404-849-5345 to book your Braidless service!

Removing your Extensions!

A lot of women try to remove their extensions on their own, and this can result in damage if this process isn't carefully done. 75% of breakage with extensions come from improper removal. But I learned a little trick along the way that really helps take out the extensions with some ease. By using a seam ripper, a person can reduce the work time to almost half. This method saves you from the open and close motion of shears. I know I don't have to say this but don't use your expensive shears for thread or to cut the weft. I've even used a razor blade before! It's a little risky and takes your undivided attention but removes the extensions quickly. I don't suggest the razor if you're having a really busy day in the salon. To the paying clients out there, the best thing is to pay for the removal to ensure that your hair is kept safe. And when in doubt, just call Zekia! 575-4-GOESHE!

Shampooing your extensions!

Lots of ladies visit the salon for the intial installation and are able to maintain the extensions themselves, but for others, a bi-weekly appointment seems to work best to keep the extension service looking presentable. But I wanna give you ladies of GoesheHair a few tips to use as a guide when maintaining your look at home. First, it is important that you consider the type of hair you are shampooing, as silicon is used in some commercial hair. Shampooing with product that contain sulfate can work against and disrupt the silicon used by manufacturing companies to keep artificial hair blends looking smooth and shiny. I have found that using products that contain natural proteins are great for commerical hair, giving it a shiny and clean pallet without hair clumping together. I like to use the CHI Royal Treatment wetline to maintain my clients extensions. This product line is great when using commericial hair or virgin hair. No matter what hair you choose, dont go cheap when deciding on a shampoo and conditioner. It is important that you treat your extensions as your very own hair. Dry scalp can be an issue when wearing extensions so we suggest our clients to pre-treat the scalp using Seabreeze. With a cotton swab, gently apply the astringent solution to dry, itcy areas of the scalp. Allow the solution to sit for five minutes before shampooing with your favorithe clarifying shampoo. In my opinion,(and I do consider myself somewhat of an expert) its best to shampoo your extensions in the shower, keeping the flow of water in a downward motions, along the grain, or with cuticle of the hair shaft. Shampooing your hair while standing in the shower gives your hair and scalp a chance to be cleaned without compromising the quality of the extension service. Always consult with your extensionist if you have concerns when cleaning you hair. When in doubt, allow your extensionist to clean your extensions. Remember, this is a premium service and you dont want to waste your hard earned bucks trying to undergo a task thats far too much for you. But for the rest of you daring divas (who should probably be stylists too) I challenge you to give it a shot. After cleansing the hair, condition properly. Rinse thoroughly and apply a few drop of your favorite serum (mine is the Pearl Complex by CHI's Royal Treatment). Blowdry your hair in a downward motion, keeping control of the brush and blowdryer as you dry you hair. Lastly, use your favorite CHI Ceramic Iron to style the finish!! Hey yall I hope that helps. Im getting really excited about the industry and the growth and expansion of this blog so tell your friends and family about this blog and help me spread the knowledge of our hair!! for more info contact Zekia at 575-446-3743

Who should get a Braidless??

Braidless sew ins are creating a huge buzz around Kansas City as weave wearers and stylists alike question the security of the service. The braidless technique provides another option other than the bonding or fusion methods. Knowing what extensions work best for your hair structure is really important when deciding. Always consult with a professional to determine if you are a likely candidate for braidless. Braidless has become our number one choice for adding hair to ones natural hair. With the proper care, the technique can last up to eight weeks. Stylists, when sewing hair, do sew hair according to the tension required. Not all clients require the same amount of tension and this is really important when installing hair because we don't want to compromise the external intergity of the hair shaft. Knowing just how much tension is required from client to client does require a demo class. Please don't experiment with a paying client. Master this technique using dollheads because remember, practice makes perfect! If you would likE to receive this service, email us at goeshehair@gmail.com. Salon owners interested in a demo class are free to contact us as well! Hope to hear from you soon! 575-4-GOESHE!

Braidless Extensions

Hey ladies and gents of the hair world! You know how connected we all are and you know how much we love extensions, whether we offer them or not, but none-the-less, please do me a huge favor and allow this blog to be a place of information for the many types of extensions on the market. Braidless extensions have become increasingly popular, as weave wearers around the world sign up for this service. I find the braidless techniques to be a great alternative to the traditional weaving services, as most (not all) techniques yeild great long lasting results when rendered by a trained professional. I've seen so many diffent forms so follow my blog as I uncover each of the diffent kinds of extensions out there. Whether you are a budding stylist, or a quick weave client looking for something new, this is the place for all your extension decisions. Im going to take you guys on a wonderful weave journey as my ten years of experience flow from my heart to my fingertips. I have so much passion for this industry and I really wanna see more worthy extension services. Poor technique and misinformed stylists have really given extensions a bad name. I dont know how many times I have heard a client say, "that fake hair took my hair out!" and I say, "No maam it was poor judgement on your stylists behalf to give you a head full of hair on hair that was obviously aready struggling. Not all extensions give hair the rest it needs. Stylist be sure your clients are likely candidates before offering an extension service. Ten year ago, my instructor told me that all money wasn't good money and boy was she right. Ok so you just made $250 from one client but in one week she's back with complaints. See, now was that some good money you made? I know a lot of stylist that would rather excuse themselves of this type of headache. Thats why keeping yourself informed on the lastest in hair care is so important. When you turn an extension client down make sure you help them understand how you arrived at your professional judgement and give them a complimentary regiment they can follow as they put the extensions on hold for a later date. Give them specifics about whats going on with their hair. If you dont know what it is you are looking at when you see damage, do be afraid to resort back to your cosmetology text book. Whatever you do, dont be general with the client because they will feel it. For the clients who are able to recieve extension services, inform them on the wear, upkeep, and removal of the hair. When offering extensions, a way to garauntee your work is to include the removal in your consult and final pricing. This will ensure that there will be minimal to no breakage. Removing hair at home on your own, as a client, can be so painstaking that its a great idea to just pay for the removal upfront. Theres a lot of prep work involved in extension services so you and your client/stylist must be on the same page.
