This is a simplified look at hair extensions for medium to thick hair in Dallas.  For someone with medium to coarse hair you will need hair extension options that match your hair density and fullness so as to keep a natural look when you add length or volume with your Dallas hair extensions.  If your natural hair type is fine or thin, refer to my Dallas hair extensions guide for tips.  Here is more information on the best hair extensions in Dallas for someone with medium to coarse hair.

 

Which hair extensions are best for someone with medium or thick hair?

 

Having medium to thick hair opens the door to most hair extension systems since these hair types tend to have more strength, and give greater coverage to hide the attachment.  The most common hair extension systems in Dallas for medium to coarse hair are:

 

Balmain Doublehair

Seamless Skin Weft Tape

Klixtensions

 

The reason these are the most popular is because each weft has more hair per on them, making blending and matching your natural texture much easier.  Fusion systems are not generally recommended because the number of strands required to match your natural density would be overwhelming

 

Dallas Hair Extension Consultation

My best advice to see which hair extensions are best for your natural hair, lifestyle, and desired look is to book a free hair extensions consultation.  I have specialized in hair extensions in Dallas since I began my career, and this has given me an insurmountable amount of hands on experience.  In a hair extensions consultation, we can discuss your needs and I will offer solutions that best suit your needs and budget.  My commitment to clients is to offer honest hair extensions solutions with clear pricing and absolutely no pressure.

Fine thin hair extensions in Dallas are something most of our clients are looking for.  Adding volume or length to your own hair is easily done with the best hair extensions.  As hair extensions specialists, we work with several brands and types of extensions for fine and thin hair in Dallas.  Here is a simple look at the best hair extensions for fine or thin hair in Dallas.

 

Best hair extensions for Fine or Thin hair

 

The most important thing to consider if your natural hair is fine or thin is the strength of the hair extension attachment.  The last thing you want to do is add hair extensions that look great for 2-4 months, then remove them to find you have done damage to your own natural hair.  We recommend tape hair extensions for clients with fine or thin hair.  Seamless tape hair extensions are durable enough for 6-8 weeks of reusable wear, but they are easily removed which results in the least amount of damage to your own hair.

 

There are many brands who offer tape hair extensions, and we work with several of them.  Each brand has a different weight per hair extension piece, and different type of tape used for the attachment.  Depending on your hair type, we will make our recommendation based on which would best suit your hair without causing damage.

 

In some instances, we recommend fusion hair extensions that are able to be customized with small bonds like Balmain fusion strands or Hairdreams fusion strands.  Other methods with links, or heavy wefts are not recommended for someone with a fine natural hair strand.

If you are interested in cuticle hair extension in Dallas, this is a simplified explanation for you.  Cuticle hair extensions are another way to explain remy hair extensions in Dallas.  Check out my guide for a more in depth look into what remy hair extensions are.  Here is a look at what cuticle hair extensions really means.

What is cuticle hair?

Cuticle hair extensions is, in general, another term for virgin remy hair extensions in Dallas.  The cuticle is completely in-tact and this results in higher quality hair strands.

What is non-cuticle hair?

This is another term for chemically treated non-remy hair.  Non-remy hair extensions have been chemically processed to melt the cuticles that are in opposite directions.  So, there are no more cuticles on these hair extensions because of this chemical processing.  Silicone sealers and fillers are used to add a smooth finish and shine to the hair, but this is not a permenant sealer.  In time, with shampooing and heat styling, this “sealer” wears off and the unnatural roughness and dry texture of the chemically processed hair will be exposed.  The result is increased dryness, tangling and matting.

Remy hair extensions in Dallas are something you should require as it determines the quality, and natural appearance of your hair extensions.  Curious about remy hair extensions in Dallas?  Here is a simplified look into what remy and non-remy really means.

 

What is remy hair?

Remy refers to how the hair on the hair extensions is collected.  Remy Hair is hair that has been tied into a pony tail, and cut.  As this hair from the pony tail is made into hair extensions, the hair strands always remain in the same direction as they were when cut from the pony tail.  This is done to keep the extensions hairs cuticles running in the same natural direction as our own hair’s cuticle.

 

Simply put:  all of the extension hair’s cuticles running in the same direction (downward) as our own natural hair is what makes them called remy hair.

 

What is non-remy hair?

 

Non-remy hair is collected from multiple sources with no regard to the natural direction of hair growth.  Therefore, the hairs cuticles are not kept running in the same direction. If left this way the hair would be totally unusable, it could not be used for extensions and hair pieces because it would tangle and matt.

 

The hair has to then be put through a process called an acid bath of which removes the cuticles/cuticle layer of the hair. Once this is done the hair is given a silicone coating to give it a smooth, shiny, and healthy feel.  In time, this silicone layer wears off and the results of the chemical processing become very obvious.  Tangling and matting becomes common, and the hair is inevitably dry and rough to the touch.

 

What is the main difference?

 

Price and quality.  Non-remy hair has much lower quality, and that is reflected in the price.  Remy hair looks much more natural, has a significantly longer “life-span” and the quality is much better than non-remy hair.  So remy hair has a slightly higher price tag, but in my honest opinion is 100% worth it.  Hair extensions are a luxury hair service regardless of which system you end up choosing.  Hair quality is not something that should be disregarded when you are having a luxury hair service done.  After investing in your look and appearance, the last thing you want with hair extensions in Dallas is a constant battle with tangling and matted hair.

I only work with brands that offer the best human hair extensions for my clients who want fuller, thicker, or longer hair in Dallas.  Finding the best hair extensions in Dallas can be confusing since there are so many brands, attachments, and hair types.  Here is a simplified look at the best human hair extensions in Dallas.

 

Where does the human hair on extensions come from?

 

For the most part, human hair comes from India, China, and/or a western European country.  The reason for this is because these cultures have a large amount of religions that participate in donating hair to temples, who sell the hair for profit.

 

Why should you have human hair extensions?

 

Having human hair is a requirement since you will have them attached for months at a time.  You will definitely want your hair extensions to be human hair so it very closely matches your own hair, and styles the same.

 

How do I get the right color hair extensions?

In my free hair extension consultation, we will discuss the options that best suit your hair type, and I will match the hair extensions to your color.  Some brands of hair extensions require being colored for a perfect match, and this is something that will be discussed in our consultation.

 

Is human hair quality good?

 

Human hair, versus synthetic hair, is absolutely great quality.  Each brand has quality standards, and as a hair extension specialist I only work with brands that have consistent quality.  Part of my guarantee on all hair extensions is the quality of hair, should you have any issues I will replace the hair.

Demi-permanent hair color is deposit-only hair color.  It does not completely cover gray, but it will blend gray up to 50%.  This is great for someone who wants dimension when covering their gray hair color rather than a solid hair color.

Having a base break in Dallas is great for extending your Dallas Highlights.  If you aren’t sure about what a base break does, or what it is, here is more information regarding breaking the base, or a base break hair color in Dallas.

 

What is a base break?

 

Breaking the base, or a base break, is used to blend the hair that is not highlighted in-between foils.  It is used to break-up the darker roots that were not lightened, which helps remove any line of demarcation in your hair color.

Bigger Better Hair | Base Break Hair Color 101

To do a base break, hair color is applied after your highlights for a few minutes to very lightly soften the remaining roots.  (Generally done in the shampoo bowl)  The color is only on your roots for a few minutes to not completely alter the color, or expose too much of the underlying warmth in your natural hair color.

 

When should you get a base break?

 

If your hair is medium darkness, and you are highlighting it, there will be quite a bit of hair in between your foils that is not highlighted.  After the hair is highlighted, this is when you would get a base break.

 

In 3-4 weeks when your roots become visible, you can return to the salon for a base break service to help soften your new-growth and extend your previous highlights for another 3-4 weeks.

 

How much is a base break?

 

If added on to your existing color service, a base break is $35.

 

If done without having another service done, a base break has two prices.  One includes a blowout or style, and one includes leaving the salon with towel dried hair:

 

Base Break with Blowout: $70

Base Break  without Blowout: $35
