Ask the Ambassador Stylist: What’s the best hair extension method if you want to wear side bangs?

A No Bad Hair Days blog reader asks: What’s the best method of hair extension if you want side bangs ?

Ultima Ambassador Stylist O’Kela Neveaux says: There are many different ways to a style with side bangs.

It doesn’t matter if the hair extensions are sewn in, glued in, or applied with a quick weave.

The key is to leave out a horseshoe-shaped parting of your own natural hair, along with a bit of your edges on the side where you want the part. Then the stylist should braid or mold the remaining hair.

Be sure to just leave out enough hair so it can fully cover the tracks that will be placed underneath, then your stylist can cut and style you extensions as you like.

Ask the Ambassador Stylist: How come hair extensions cost so much in salons?

A No Bad Hair Days Blog reader asks: How come hair salons charge so much for a sew in?

Ultima Ambassador Stylist O’Kela Neveaux says: When you pay a licensed cosmetologist more for a service at a salon, you are paying for expertise and professional training.

That’s why professional cosmetologists who work in salons charge more than than you’d pay an amateur who works in their kitchen or basement.

A professional cosmetologist will have the products, tools, organization and knowledge to perform specific and multiple techniques as needed.

Before investing in your extension service, be sure that the stylist specializes in weaves so you end up with the best results possible.

Ask the Ambassador Stylist: How long can I keep my extensions in?

No Bad Hair Days Blog Reader, Ashley asks: How long can I wear my weave and can I wear it wet ?

Got a question for the Ambassador Stylists?
Ask it here.

Ultima Ambassador Stylist O’Kela Neveaux says: You should never keep a weave in longer than three months.

And you should only keep it in that long if you are keeping your scalp and natural hair properly maintained the whole time. And if the weaved hair is still in looking good.

But you should only leave in your weave for four to six weeks if your natural hair texture tends to dread without a relaxer, or just after a prolonged period. More »

Reader Questions: How can I restore the curls in Pro10 Hair Extensions?

A No Bad Hair Days Blog reader asks: “I purchased Outre Pro10 Romance curl in 18 inch hair extensions.

What is the the best way to restore the curls once it is washed?

No Bad Hair Days: You have several choices of how to restore the curl to your Pro10 hair extensions after you wash them. You can find all of the instructions for easy Pro 10 hair extension care on the Ultima website.

Hair can be curled or flat ironed using an electric curling or flat iron. Temperature setting should be no
higher than 266 °F. Thermal iron stoves are not recommended to curl Pro10™ Hair made with Ultima.

Apply mousse to hair, then flat iron straight. Curl hair from ends. Hold for about ten seconds, to set curl,
then carefully release hair.

Ask the Ultima Ambassador Stylist: How Long Will Pro10 Hair Extensions Last?

A No Bad Hair Days Blog reader asks: Once Pro 10 hair extensions are applied with the sewing method, how long will the hair last? Human hair can last up to three months. Can this be achieved with Pro 10?

Ultima Ambassador Stylist O’Kela Neveaux says: Yes Pro 10 hair extensions made with Ultima Organic Protein Hair can last as long as human hair extensions. But of course maintenance is the key to the overall healthy appearance. Make sure not to use too much heat (thermal, ceramic or dryers) and be sure to refresh your extensions with water (by washing or misting). Rollers, twist or pin curl sets will also help you keep the curl pattern in your hair extensions. See the Easy Care information on the Ultimahair website.

Ask the Ultima Ambassador Stylists: How to Do a Twist Set

You can curl and straighten Pro10 hair extensions made with Ultima Organic Protein over and over. If you want to restore the curls or wave pattern, a twist set works magic according to Ultima Ambassador Stylists, Lavett Jones and O’Kela Neveaux.

“A twist set is a perfect way to maintain Ultima Pro10’s wavy and curly textured weaves so the curls last. It also can be done with your own hair to give the hair appearance a naturally curly or wavy texture,” Neveaux says.

Technique: Apply mousse or setting lotion to the hair. Then, divide the hair into small sections of two pieces at a time and twist them together as is you were braiding. Next, curl it around your finger and clip or pin it down, or put a small perm rod at the end. Another method is to cornrow the hair toward the back or toward the front – depending on the length – and then place the rod at the end. Applying mousse or setting lotion helps achieve the look.

Ask the Pro10 Ambassador Stylist: What’s the best way to maintain my new weave?

No Bad Hair Days Blog reader Concetta asks: It has been one week with my new weave (using Pro 10 deep curl) and I love it. But I am a little anxious about the up keep. Some reviews say the curls are going to fall some say curls last; some say to use mousse and some not. Please help. Because so far this hair is worth it, I love the compliments.

Pro 10 Ambassador Stylist O’Kela Neveaux says: Whether the curls last or fall truly depends on your maintenance routine. If you use your satin bonnet nightly, and twist the curls together before bed so the hair isn’t all over the place, you should be fine.

Should you use mousse on Pro10 made with Ultima? Pro10 is very water friendly. So, if you were to keep a water bottle handy you may notice that water can give the same effect as mousse without weighing the hair down from the extra product. And here’s lots of information about how to care for your Pro10 weave.
