I posted this a ton all over my social media since working on this. Keep your eyes peeled because she just came back in for a retouch and we went even blonder and more ash!

This particular beaded row method works really well for adding lots of hair, there’s a lot of beaded row sew in methods out there and they all have great application possibilities for different clients.

I feel it’s really important for stylists to have a wide skill range so they can ensure they’re matching the right method with the right clients.

This basically took four million packs of seven foot long hair…

Usually my MO is to use as little hair as possible to produce the effect I’m going for but sometimes the look requires A LOT of hair.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your make-over to get your long hair back!

Brightened up this bombshell a bit more…

Blonde balayage for the first time ever on this beauty, and an epic set of super long fusion hair extensions. I feel honored to be chosen for this transformation.

“Fresh Hair Day” is my favorite holiday. Luckily I celebrate it almost every day with my clients. Here’s the difference between a set of extensions that had been worn for almost 5 months and a brand new set.

This client does use a fair amount of heat styling on her extensions and that’s where a lot of the decreased length and thickness occurs over time. Heat protection products are important but there’s only so much they can do. That’s part of what I love about hair extensions: having extensions in takes some of the brunt off your real hair and I’d much rather replace damaged hair extensions than have to regrow natural hair that got damaged.

Just a little fresh lightening, and a bundle of medium blonde fusions to pump up the volume. Sometimes it doesn’t take a lot to make a big difference.

Look, I’m a Hair Junkie, of course I love great gear! Feel free to check out Framar’s website to buy me goodies, or you can get cool loot for yourself too.

When looking at what brushes are going to be comfortable AND effective for hair extensions the key seems to be having plenty of long flexible bristles. You want the bristles to be long enough to get down into all that extra hair and flexible enough that they will bend over the attachment point instead of pulling. Above are a few of my favorites.

I’m going to try to showcase some of these a bit more on my next salon trip. They come in a wide range of colors, with different brands having natural colors and some having fantasy colors. These can be great for hiding roots an extra week or giving a temporary wild effect for festival hair without committing to purple roots.
