Pigmenta Hair Extensions

NO Heat, NO Chemicals: Traditionally, extensions has been created through processes that involve glues and heat that damages the hair. The system that I use does NOT reguire heat or chemicals for attachment or strong solvents for removal.

Hair Extensions Frequently asked Questions:

  • What are hair extensions?
  • Most hair extensions are made of fine strands of human hair which are connected with your natural hair. Extensions are available in just about any color, texture or length.

  • How do I know that I am a good candidate for natural hair extensions?
  • If your goal is to obtain length, volume, texture or to add “high or low-lights” to prevent damage to your real hair, then you are a candidate. Also, if your hair is thinning beyond what is acceptable to you, you will be a great candidate.

  • How long can I expect the hair extensions to last?
  • Approximately between 3 months. On occasion, you might have an extension “fall out”. This will not be, however, on a daily basis, providing the extension was properly attached and, providing, the client follows the prescribed “home maintenance procedure,” which will be clearly explained to you.

  • Can I let my hair air-dry or must I blow it dry?
  • You can either air dry or blow dry hair extensions, depending on the texture. For example: you would want to air dry curly or wavy hair extensions and blow dry straight extensions.

  • Can I use styling products in my hair following the hair extension application?
  • Absolutely! Natural hair extensions are treated as your natural hair. You can style it anyway you wish.

  • Can I continue coloring or highlighting my hair when I have hair extensions?
  • Yes you can. However, your stylist must understand that the color must not touch or penetrate the bond to avoid weakening the structure. This could lead to the bond detaching sooner than it might otherwise.Regarding both color and highlighting your natural hair regrowth, the stylist can follow the normal procedures. BUT, do not attempt to highlight the extension hair ..period. The extension pieces can, however, be “darkened” only 2 shades, using ONLY demi/semi permanent color; 5/10/15 volume peroxides — not 20-volume and over.

  • How long must I wait to have my hair colored or highlighted before or after having the extensions applied?
  • A 7-day waiting period is sufficient.

  • Where does the hair used for human hair extensions come from?
  • The primary source of human hair, referred to as Indian Remy hair is from India. The term “Remy” is used to describe superior hair because the cuticle lays in one direction, which prevents matting and tangling. Indian Remy hair , unlike Chinese or other Asian hair-types, is the most desirable virgin hair because it has been protected and never chemically treated. Remy hair, also called “temple hair”, has its unique story: According to Indian custom, at the time of marriage, the soon-to-be-wife’s” hair is cut at close range to the nape and given to the fiancé. He, then, takes the hair to a temple to be blessed so that he may have fathered many sons, live a prosperous life and be provided with a good working helpmate. The temple, in turn, sells the hair to “buyers” and uses the proceeds to fund community needs. Other sources of human hair include China and Mongolia, referred to as “Yak” hair because of the course texture. Russian hair has, also, become popular.

  • I have curly hair and would like curly extensions added? Is this possible?
  • Absolutely! Hair extensions come in a variety of textures ranging from silky straight to curly and every texture in between.

  • Will the hair extensions cause damage to my hair?
  • No, if properly applied. However, breakage can occur if the extensions are left on too long.
