So it has been a week since my training and I have pondered on how to do this post. I want to give the best advice I can to everyone, with the hopes that it makes you feel comfortable to ask me more question and gain interest in NBR. Natural Beaded Row is an up and coming technique that Danielle White created a few years back and is now offering her training to other stylist! Yay for me...and you!
As much as I wish I could say extensions are for everyone, I can't. I wish they were but some people just would not like them. Most people will love them. I am here to give you some pros and cons of extensions, in no specific order.
NBR Extensions are not the cure to all your hair problems.
NBR Extensions could be the cure to all your hair problems!
If you want fuller, thicker, longer, style holding hair NBR could be for you. The best most amazing length to make this look as natural as possible is to have shoulder/collar bone length hair. Keeping in mind and being realistic about your desired over all length. However NBR can be used to give your bob more volume and thickness. NBR can be used to give the front of your hair longer thicker A line look as you grow your hair out. Please keep that in mind as you read on.
I think that people generally think extension are a great idea. And then they get the cost of them and run the other way. Or they get them and they constantly pick at them, and hate having something in their hair all the time. Or they want to just wake up and look like they have Victoria Secret hair. Not gonna happen. Yes extensions can be expensive, I am trying my hardest to keep that cost as low as possible for you considering where we live I can not be charging $1200 for extensions and color (yes that is the real price in Laguna Beach). But it is a specialty service that I paid a lot of money to learn how to do and I will take pride in the fact that as of right now I am the only one certified in Oregon to do these fancy amazing extensions. I can only imagine that soon other salons in the area will be jumping on this awesome service.
The hair is all real! You can color it and style it like it is your own. You can not lighten it I have tried many many times. It just won't work. But they come in very light colors:) The hair has to be attached to your hair some how. So there will always be something in your hair, but please do not pick at it. I struggle with this my self. NBR is only attached to your natural hair in a few places to there is the least amount of damage to your hair as possible. However when you take them out to tighten them you will have some hair loss. NOT from damage but from the fact that your hair has been in a crimped bead for six weeks and hasn't been able to shed off naturally. There is 11 wefts of hair on two separate tracks on my head. That is A LOT of extra hair. My hair is very very heavy. If you get NBR your hair will be heavier, thicker. More hair to brush, wash, and style. You will need more time in the morning to get ready! When I wake up after my nighttime wash my natural hair is in it's normal wild mane status and my NBR hair is beautifully straight, it is pretty funny actually. Yes they do make curly hair but the curly hair tends to tangle and mat very very easily so it is not recommended to go with the curly curly look. There is maintenance with extensions too, every 6 to 8 weeks basically the life of your color. The wefts get lose with with growth of your hair so they need to be tightened. The wefts also shed like natural hair does so eventually the wefts need to be replaced slowly over time or twice a year if you keep them in year round. The tracks are fairly tight at first but never meant to hurt just be like a snug pony tail. You can wear your NBR straight or with a curl to it whichever you wish. If you have naturally oily hair they are great because they absorb the oils since they don't have any! If you are getting NBR for length you will need to put oil or serum on the ends too keep them looking natural and keep them from getting tangled. You DO need to style them. They will not just magically look like all the amazing photos on their own. They blend and look more natural when you style them. You can wear them up in a pony tail, it is recommended to wait a few days till the track loosens a little so there is no extra pulling on you natural hair. As the days go on with them in your hair they blend better and better everyday. You get used to the extra thickness and length and it starts to really just feel like your hair! You can go about your normal every day life with better hair. You can wash every day, I don't personally because I naturally have a lot of hair and it takes me forever to do my hair and I am lazy. So I go three days with out washing it, even without NBR I go three days. The average person has one full track and a mini track equaling eight wefts of hair. You can have more if needed or wanted as long as I feel it won't be too much on your natural hair. To really have the best of the best for blending, it is highly recommended you have your color service done at the same time or right before your extension service.
So I think I have given you all the basic info on these amazing NBR extensions. I promise you, you will LOVE them.
