Lifetime of human hair extensions vary from a few months to a few years depending on the type and quality of the extensions. Human hair extensions that are permanently sewed in to your real hair usually last for a few months and often up to six months. In the lifetime of a hair weave, it is natural to want to change its color to match with your new look. Is that acceptable and can you change the color of hair extensions as you please?
Human hair extensions are the same as one’s own hair and therefore anything you can do with natural hair can also be done with these extensions. So as with your own hair, it is possible to dye and heat style natural hair extensions.
When coloring (dyeing) hair weaves, Strand Testing is critical for the safety of the hair extension. This test basically confirms whether or not the dyeing process can damage the hair weaves. The dye must be prepared as per directions and then applied to a small portion of the hair extensions first for testing. Allow several hours, ideally 24 hours to see the effect and then continue with dyeing the rest of the hair. A lot of companies allow you to order samples of hair extensions that you can test with even before actually buying them.
Perfect hair type for coloring are the Virgin Hair Extensions. This type of hair would’ve never been chemically processed before you receive them and hence should be ideal for dyeing. Coloring of virgin hair extensions is much like doing them for natural hair and a lot of care must be taken to protect them from harsh chemical agents. Most other types of hair, especially synthetic hair, are unsuitable for dyeing as they tend to become really weak because of exposure to chemicals and dyeing them will irreversibly damage your hair extensions. Reiterating that strand testing is the best method to prevent damage from dyeing.
Lightening is more difficult and risky than darkening. Lightening usually requires bleaching hair extensions which can really damage the hair extensions. To avoid bleaching, you can directly dye the darker hair into the color you desire, but that usually leaves a tint of dark shade. The hair ends up with shades of slightly orange. However, re-doing the coloring over and over again should remove the orange shade and eventually get you to the light color that you had wanted. Usually you need three iterations to obtain the perfect match. Colorings will have to be repeated in intervals of a few days.
If you still decide to bleach, you could use a stripper or eraser first. In general, for black hair, applying stripper twice reduces it to brown. Allow some time between using the stripper and bleach so the hair is not damaged too much. Get a good brand of bleach and prepare the solution using instructions on the box, and then soak the hair extensions in the prepared solution. Let it soak for a little while before washing away the bleach. Always remember that this process could severely damage the hair extensions and you may be required to apply bleach a few times when lightening hair. So follow the instructions carefully and pay close attention to any usage warnings. You could also try a toner to help with any left over tint after coloring.
A hair volumizer is a hair styling product that adds volume and body to thin or flat hair. Often in the form of shampoos, conditioners or mousses, hair volumizers temporarily give flat hair some much-needed thickness. Some hair volumizers are also found in the forms of hair sprays, pomades, hair masks and thickening creams.
Hair volumizers contain humectants that swell the hair shaft, temporarily making it look thicker. Polymers in the hair volumizers coat each strand, also adding to the thicker look. A humectant is a non-oily substance that pulls in moisture from the surrounding environment and attracts it to the hair strand. The increased moisture also helps each strand of hair look thicker. These ingredients give hair body, bounce and fullness.
Hair volumizers are relatively easy to use, depending on what form. A hair volumizing shampoo and conditioner are used just like regular shampoo and conditioners. Volumizing sprays and mousses are worked into dry or wet hair, while hair masks are left in wet hair for a few minutes to give it body and fullness. Volumizers can be found at drugstores, supermarkets and beauty salons.
Add volume and body to your hair with a homemade hair volumizer made from common items in the kitchen.
There are many ways to add volume to your hair, including thickening, plumping and adding bounce. Most store-bought shampoos, conditioners and mousses achieve this action through polymers and humectants that coat the hair, causing the hair’s shaft to increase in size. However, these products can be expensive. Luckily, there is a cheaper, faster alternative to adding volume to your hair. You can make a homemade hair volumizer using products you already have in your house to achieve the desired effect.
Yeast causes bread to rise, but it can also add volume to limp and lifeless hair. You can create a homemade hair volumizer by mixing a can of regular beer to ¼ cup of water. Do not use light beer, as this will not achieve the proper volume. Add 1 tbsp. of lemon or lime juice to the mixture for an improved aroma. Add the mixture to a spray bottle and spritz a generous amount onto the roots of you hair and massage into the scalp. Allow the beer to dry and style your hair as usual
Some people might be worried about the lingering odor of beer in their hair when using it as a volumizer. You can reduce the odor and achieve the same effect by creating a beer volumizing shampoo. On the stove, boil ¾ of a cup of regular beer down until it reduces to ¼ cup. Once the beer has cooled, add it to one cup of shampoo. Massage the beer shampoo into your scalp and leave in for five minutes before rinsing to achieve the best effects.
While powdered gelatin is typically an ingredient for molded desserts, gelatin can also add thickness and volume to your hair. Create a volumizing shampoo by adding 1 tbsp. of powdered gelatin to your shampoo bottle. Mix thoroughly and shampoo your hair as usual.
Sugar also acts as a volumizer, creating bouncy, voluminous hair. You can create a homemade volumizing spray using sugar as the main ingredient. Add two packets of real sugar to one 20-oz. bottle of water. Mix thoroughly and spritz the mixture onto the roots of your hair prior to styling.
Milk products make an excellent leave-in homemade volumizing treatment. While you are in the shower, saturate your hair from root to tip in half-and-half and leave in for five minutes. Rinse your hair, blow-dry and style as usual. Another leave-in treatment involves mixing three egg whites with water to form a runny consistency. Leave the egg mixture in your hair for five minutes before rinsing.
If you are not keen on using animal products, you can create the same effect using coconut milk. However, when using coconut milk, you do not have to rinse. Spray coconut milk onto clean, wet hair, blow-dry and style your hair with added thickness and volume.

1. Take a shower.
I know that sounds odd but it’s true. Scents last longer on clean, fresh and healthy skin.
2. Humid or moist skin enhances the perfume.
I know you’ve heard this before but simply ignored it but do it. Buy a body lotion that is part of the perfume line (this is, honestly, where Bath and body Works is my bff for life). “Layering is key,” says internationally renowned perfumer Claude Dir. “Apply the body lotion first, and then spritz the scent.” (Check out when I got to meet to Claude Dir here). Using the body lotion as a base before applying perfume is great because when the perfume evaporates off your skin, the lotion will be there to back you up.
3. If you don’t want to buy and use a body lotion with the same fragrance…
…apply an unscented lotion onto damp skin. Using light antiperspirants with perfume typically enhances the fragrance and does not conceal it. damp skin is key here as the moisture locks in and prevents any ashyness and dryness on the skin.
4. Identify your pulse points
Pulse points are typically the wrist, behind the ear, crook of the arm and knee, and base of the throat. This is where the blood vessels are closest to the skin giving off more heat and acting like mini fragrance pumps. When the scent mixes with your personal body chemistry, the scent comes of bigger and better! Make sure these are clean and moisturized.
5. Spray the perfume into the air and step into it
This allows the scent to envelops your entire body gently. It’s a really gentle way to spray perfume and avoid it from being too harsh or heavy. Scent travels upward so don’t neglect the pulse points that are found in the upper part of your body.
6. Apply before you dress.
It’s best to put perfume on before you dress so that the clothing does not sap up the fragrance. Also, keep in mind that lighter notes (like florals) dissipate more quickly than stronger scents like musk. Perfume on skin means that it becomes warmer and rises with your temperature.
7. As with skincare, avoid sunlight.
Direct sunlight can unbalance the ingredients. It is best to store perfume in a cool, dark place. With your skin however, it’s best to apply sunscreen. =)
8. You’re hot then you’re cold
But your fragrances shouldn’t be. Fragrances should be kept away from excessive heat or cold. To avoid evaporation, make sure that the cap is kept tightly closed. This also allows the scent to maintain fragrance integrity.
9. Know what you’re buying!
Fragrances are typically classified according to the strength of their scent. this is normally based on the concentration of scent oils and levels of alcohol. “Parfum” or “Perfume” contains the highest concentration of these oils. Then come Eau de parfum, Eau de toilette, Eau de cologne and lastly body sprays and lotions. If you are using a parfum, less is more! It takes very little layering to make the scent stand out, so don’t OD!
10. Lastly, scents DO expire.
Scents are typically good three to six months after the bottle is opened. This is because the alcohol and the aldehydes (the organic compounds) dissipate and actually change the chemical composition and nature of the scent. If you use scent past its expiration date, don’t expect it to last very long on your skin. This, too me, is controversial (ok not really controversial) The first perfume that was bought for me, and me alone (I used to just steal my mom’s perfumes) was Glow by J.Lo. That was when I turned sixteen. Now 5 years later I still have the bottle (though it’s half done and I use it only for the utmost special days…call it nostalgia). The scent has stayed the same throughout the years and is one of the most long lasting scents I’ve ever owned.
and remember with perfume you can
…increase your feelings of well being and mood. Nothing lifts you up quicker than a spritz of your favorite perfume or a whiff of the cologne your man wears daily.
…start ‘em young! Introduce the wondrous world of fragrance to every young person you know. It is never too soon for them to experience the fun and benefits of amazing scents!
…make life for you and those around you infinitely more pleasurable and enjoyable

While you’re in a routine of always whipping your weave back and forth, don’t forget that you need to care for the hair below. If you want a full healthy head of hair while you keeping the flyest weaves and wigs check the following tips:
Moisturize
Get a good oil/moisturizer to apply to your real hair underneath. Weaved up or not, hair needs moisture – don’t ever deprive it.
Clean Scalp
A dirty scalp with tons of product build up can stunt growth. To avoid “stuntin’,” apply shampoo to your fingers and gently rub your scalp, use a spray bottle to rinse and apply a leave-in conditioner. Or try the newly popular no-sud shampoos on your scalp. Either way be sure to cleanse scalp weekly or bi-weekly.
The Right Brushes/Combs
When combing human hair weaves, detangle from tip to root using a wide tooth comb. Synthetic hair wearers can use a bristle brush. When combing or brushing, don’t tug. Too much tension can damage your real hair.
Cover Hair At Night
Sleeping with a satin scarf or bonnet will keep weaves from getting tangled and prevent breakage of any hair left out in a partial weave. Stay away from all cotton coverings. If you have braids or twists, you can also add a little moisturizer before covering your hair at night, to penetrate in your real hair.
Expiration Dates
Don’t keep fake hair in your hair past its time. Even if the hair still looks fresh, leaving it in longer than 6-8 weeks can cause matting and hair damage. This goes for both weaves and braids.
Let It Rest
When taking hair out, give your hair and scalp a rest for a couple of weeks. Make sure to pamper your real hair and give it plenty of TLC, which includes deep conditioners, trims, and no harsh chemicals
