Microbead Hair Extensions – Reapplication

Reapplication The beauty of the method of microbead hair extensions are that they are re-usable. This means the more time and aftercare you put into maintaining your extensions, the longer you get out of them and the more bang for buck you are getting! What is it? Basically what re-application involves is removing all the extensions, combing out build up or dead hair that has accumulated and then re-applying the same extensions (once they are in the correct condition). This is a lengthy appointment so make sure to factor in enough time for this. What is involved in removals? Once you commit to getting Belle Hair extensions, you must factor in getting...

Styling your Hair Extensions

Styling hair extensions is similar to styling your own natural hair. The main difference would be you should not blow-dry your hair extensions with your head flipped upside down, as this will cause too much tension at the root of your hair where the I-tip has been applied. Section your hair to blow-dry it as this will speed up the drying process.  Use your heated styling tools at a maximum temperature of 190 degrees as anything above this will cause your hair to become damaged, dry and give that fly away look.  You can use any type of tools on your extensions such as straighteners, wands and...

Environmental effects on your hair.

Most people aren’t aware that the water in our taps is having a major effect on our own hair and those who wear hair extensions. It has become a huge concern especially from our experience of those who are living in the West of Ireland, and especially in Galway. Most people will blame their products or quality of their hair extensions if they are not educated on the real causes which cause hair to become knotty, dry and dull. What is it? Hard water also known as limescale is the cause of all of this! It is not visible in the water in our pipes but leaves a residue...

Microbead Hair Extensions

Microbead Hair Extensions -What are they?   Hair extensions, also known as hair integrations are added to your own hair to create volume or length.  Microbead hair extensions are our preferred method. From our own experience, they do not damage your own natural hair.  They are small wefts of hair attached to a section of your own hair near the root with a bead.  The most important thing when considering hair extensions is the quality of the hair.  No matter how amazing the application of the extensions are, if the quality of the hair is poor they will not last well and their general appearance will look false. Our own...
