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.

The first and most important steps are to thoroughly wash and condition the extensions or wig. Shampooing well is crucial, as this will remove any grit, dust, or leftover product that might make the hair turn sticky and clump together later on. You may do this washing before removing the extensions from your head, but it is best to do…

The cost of hair extensions can depend on many factors.   If you’ve browsed the Perfect Locks site you should have a general idea of what you would pay for quality Indian hair. The type of hair, the length of hair, and the method used for installation should all be considered when thinking about price.  There are  several different installation methods and types of hair extensions, each with it’s benefits and downfalls:

Machine Wefts or Hand-tied Wefts – this is a much debated topic in several salons today. The thing is, some people who get hair extensions don’t usually know what’s best – machine wefts or hand-tied wefts. The safest, and probably the most accurate, answer would be “It depends.” I know that saying that is horribly dissatisfying for any reader, but it’s true.
