Different types of hair extensions

TYPES OF HAIR

Virgin Hair:

Virgin hair is hair that has never been processed or treated with ANY kind of chemicals. The hair is in its natural state with its cuticles running in the same direction and in tact. You can bleach, dye and process Virgin hair just as you would your own.

Remy (Virgin)  Hair:

Remy hair is hair that has all the cuticles running in the same direction. Remy hair differs from Virgin hair mainly in that it has been CHEMICALLY processed for color or texture, but the cuticle still remains in tact so the hair will not tangle.

TYPES OF VIRGIN HAIR:

Indian:

It's the most versatile and readily available on the market. The hairs density is very fine. It's naturally airy, light and bouncy and can easily be curled and styled. Indian hair moves effortlessly with minimal products. It also blends well with most hair textures. This hair texture can be found ranging from silky to lightly coarse.This hair will swell and become frizzy in humid weather and in foggy conditions. Anti-frizz products are highly suggested.Brazilian:Brazilian Hair is the most sought after texture on the market right now. This hair is used diversely because of its softness, durability and density (thickness). This texture is easiest to blend with most ethnicities from some Caucasian textures to African American relaxed textures. Brazilian hair is extremely luxurious and very soft with a lot of body and natural shine. Its luster is low to medium.Because of the density of Brazilian hair, you may not want to use as many bundles as you would normally use with other textures to create a full look. Due to its natural density, with this hair, less is more. Also because of its density, it is less likely to frizz than other hair types like Malaysian or Indian Hair. Brazilian hair will also hold curls longer than Indian or Malaysian textures. This hair is extremely versatile. It’s amazing!

Peruvian:

Peruvian Hair is the ultimate multi-purpose hair! It's extremely soft and ultimately feather light! You can have up to five bundles of a Peruvian hair installed yet still maintain a feathery light, maintainable style. This hair is coarser in texture than Indian or Brazilian hair and its luster is low to medium. It blends very well with African-American relaxed hair textures and medium Caucasian hair textures. This hair is Luxurious and another one of our favorites.Malaysian:Malaysian Hair is a highly sought after texture and a very popular option among celebrities. Malaysian hair has an extremely luxurious feel and is sleek and shiny, but not excessively shiny. Its luster is low to medium-similar to Brazilian hair. This hair hold curls extremely well without the use of products. It  is generally very dark brown; close to black with some bundles may having lighter ends. This hair blends very well with most hair types including African American. It does not swell or frizz in humid conditions making it low maintenance. This hair is amazing-you will love it!

Braids

I tried braiding my hair today for the first time! I've got to admit - this is what I love about wearing my natural hair. Its so much fun playing around with it.

Xoxoxo

I Love New York- Durban Style ♥

My favourite trends this spring / summer

The era we're living in sees us going back to trends that were there before some of us were even born.Its a great time for fashion!

These are some of my favourite trends this spring/summer:

1)MONOCHROME-
Im sure most of you have been hearing this word being thrown around.Its simply putting together two contrasting colours.Simply black and white.This trend looks good in just about any style.

2) GLADIATORS- Gladiator sandals have made a come back.They made an appearance in 2009/2010 and decided they weren't done just yet in 2013.
They are perfect for summer.

3) WHITE TUXEDO JACKET - The love I have for these! Although  you may not wear it in the scorching heat, you can throw it over on those cool nights out.

4) SPLIT FRONT SKIRT- This looks great whether its a pencil skirt or maxi skirt. I remember this trend in those music videos from way back. When TLC and Destiny's child was still hot (^^,)

5) Lastly-
BRAIDS! You can do this look with your natural hair and extensions. It can be rocked whether you dress up or down.If you arent a fan of hair in your face especially in the summer , this look is for you.

You gotta love a good weave.

You have to appreciate a good weave. And the variety can be so exciting.

Those who know me personally would know that I prefer to keep everything as natural looking as possible. My hair too.So you'll never see me in something too dramatic.

Now that its spring, everybody is coming out to play and we all know you cant do that if your hair aint right!

Thank you to Ruutos Hair for this beautiful Indian Remy hair. I ♥ it!

I love high-tops!!!

As much as I love heels and I've got plenty, I love my high tops too!

These were a gift from a friend who knows me all too well:-)...♥

The suede and the blue/bage details gives it that "wow factor". Sneakers look best in neutral soft colours. Or maybe I'm just not a fan of brights?!

Cant wait to rock these!♡♡
