Micros, minis, freestyles, individuals, boxes, trees, crochets, Goddesses – there are so many gorgeous ways to wear braids, it’s easy to lose count. And while not all kinds of braids demand the same kind of extension hair, they all require a quick, steady hand and securely attached hair extensions. So for any woman who has ever considered doing her own braids with human hair extensions – or has thought about learning how to braid hair for others – here’s how it’s done.

Looking for a quick and easy, yet natural way to take on a new look? Not particularly interested in hair extensions, yet not inspired by lace-front or traditional wigs either? Then try a half-wig, which may literally be just the right amount of hair for you!
Half wigs, as their name implies, are wigs without bangs or lace at the hairline. These wigs allow you to control how your hair falls over and near your face without the time commitment of a sew-in or net weave. They require no tape or trimming down – you can literally slide them on and go.

Earlier this week, we discussed hair types and the hair extensions that match each hair type. Whether your mane is curly, straight, wavy, or kinky, there’s a set of hair extensions, hair pieces, or even a wig out there for you. But what if you want to switch things up a bit and add some drama to your normal hair routine? What if you want bouncy, riotous curls one day and sleeker, straighter locks the next – do you need to buy two different types of weave?
Not at all! For hair that transforms as naturally from straight to curly…

When most people think about weaves and hair extensions, they think of long, flowing locks. Hair extensions are supposed to extend the hair, right? Well, not exactly. There are plenty of reasons to get hair extensions, and not all of them have much to do with rocking down-to-there-hair. Many women get hair extensions because they want a hairstyle that they can’t or don’t want to achieve with their own natural tresses – and this can include short styles!
Just think: if you’ve always wanted to try a daring crop, but don’t want to cut your own locks, a short weave…

Every woman who’s ever worn a weave knows the nape of the neck is the tenderest spot. This is the area that most often rubs against clothes, collars, and pillowcases; collects the most sweat when you exercise; and gets caught, tugged, or tangled the easiest – and that’s just on regular hair! Add to that the delicate nature of a weave, especially a full-head weave, and you’ve got a really frustrating situation: after a few weeks, the majority of your hair extensions are sitting pretty, but the nape area needs touching up.
So what’s a girl to do? Try mixing…

Looking back at 2010, it seems like one of the biggest looks of the past year – and perhaps for a few more turns of the calendar to come – is big-barreled, lustrous, wavy curls that tumble down the back. Call it the “Kim K� look, but everybody from celebrities to your local librarian is going for softly defined curls with just the right balance of polish and play.
So how do you get those locks, if you’re not born with them? Well, for starters, you invest in virgin Indian Remy hair that’s sure to give you the bounce, shine,…

Human hair extensions are an excellent way to get a long, luxurious hairstyle in an instant. However, sometimes that long, luxurious hair is just a little bit too long – as in one length all over. While unbelievable length can be great for a diva moment or red-carpet gathering, a blunt-cut curtain of hair can be drab, hot, heavy, and bothersome, not to mention unrealistic-looking. But never fear! Here’s how to cut your own hair extensions into layers if you can’t get a stylist to do it.
First things first, get your extensions installed on your head; don’t rely on…

Earlier this week, we looked back at the 1990s and the rise—literally—of the high ponytail as a favorite hairstyle. This versatile look has been rocked on red carpets and catwalks, at house parties, and in offices over the years, proving that the ponytail is not just a child’s style anymore.
But what if you don’t quite have the length or natural volume to achieve one of those down-to-there ponytail hair styles? Women with short hair cuts or medium length hair styles should still be able to sport updos, and here is one simple tip for pulling it off: fake it….
