Vote: Does Nicole’s Hair Look Better Long or Short?

Pro10 Ambassador Stylist O’kela Neveaux owner of Extended Beauty Salon and Boutique in Oak Park, Michigan, demonstrates how to do a stocking cap quick weave on Jasmine Nicole of Atlanta. O’kela used Yaki Straight Pro10 Hair Extensions made with Ultima Protein Hair, in two highlighted colors, 1B 30 and 1B 33. Imagine! No waiting to grow your hair out or change the color! No chemical processing either. Just a quick and easy way to get a new look.

Because Nicole’s own hair is so short, O’kela created a removable custom wig she can wear any time she wants a completely different look. Pro 10 is easy to care for too! It also is possible to tack the stocking cap to her hair for more long-term wear. Lots more photos on the No More Bad Hair Days Blog Flickr Group.

Need a New Look? Test it Out First!

Oprah Magazine has a great feature on how to pick the right hair color. Here’s one of eight sets of before and afters that show what a huge difference color can make.

The article says “The shade is severe against her skin and does nothing to enhance the honey tones in her complexion.” They changed it to the color on the right, “ribbons of caramel and cinnamon, woven through the ends of Katrina’s hair and around her face, bring a soft golden glow to her skin.”

Can’t say I agree, and I also think her hair looked better loose and curly. Aren’t we going to get sick of fighting with our curls one of these days!!

But before you make a big change, try out your new color by getting hair extensions. You’ll thank me later. Ask your stylist to use Pro 10 Hair Extensions made with Ultima Natural Protein Hair. It’s got all the best qualities of human hair, and none of the problems.

Dear Jamelia: There are alternatives to human hair extensions!

Pop star Jamelia recently got herself some media attention by dramatically declaring that she’d never wear hair extensions again because of the “very real human costs” of obtaining hair for human hair extensions. “How did I know I wasn’t wearing a dead person’s hair?” she roiled in the Daily Mail. She even starred in a BBC show called “Whose Hair is it Anyway?” featuring shifty looking human hair dealers who take hair from dead people.

Dear Jamelia: There are alternatives to human hair extensions! And one of the best alternatives is Pro 10 made with Ultima Natural Protein Hair. Made with natural collagen, Ultima hair looks, feels like and has the best qualities of human hair. You can curl, blow-dry, wash, brush, comb, style and restore Ultima hair without tangling, and it’s affordable too.

As several commenters noted in the Daily Mail article “…All this hand wringing nonsense.”

Rock on Jamelia. Just switch to Pro 10 so you can keep having hair extensions as your “confidence booster” that “transform me from busy mum of two into my alter ego, Jamelia the pop star.”
