Jessica Alba Gets Hair Extensions

Back in February, Jessica was seen sporting a super cute short shaggy bob at the Valentine’s Day premiere. Yesterday, Jessica Alba showed off her newly lengthened locks at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her latest film The Killer Inside Me. 
I love her with long hair, but I think the extensions need to be layered. Layering hair extensions makes them look more natural and blend well with your own natural hair. Even if they are applied the right way, they won't look as natural if they have a blunt cut. I do like the dark brunette shade on her though. What do you guys think?

Hair Closure FAQ's

How are hair closures applied?
Closures are attached to the horseshoe section of your head from just behind your hairline to the top center of the head. Closures can be applied many ways.

• The most popular method used to attach a closure is by sewing it into your hair. This is done by attaching it to cornrow braids along the perimeter.
• You can also bond the closure onto your head, by using hair tape or hair glue.
• Since our closures are lace frontal closures you can also sew the back of the closure into your head and glue the front lace base part using hair tape or hair glue.
• You can also add clips to the closure and clip it on.

How can I style the closure?
Our closures are freestyle closures; which, allows for styling freedom. You can style your hair any way you choose. This includes a part down the middle, a side part, and no part with all your hair pulled back. The hair closures are made with 100% remy human and can be curled, flat ironed etc to achieve any hair style you want.


How long does the closure last?
Our hair closures last for several installs. With proper care, it can last up to a year or longer.


How many packs of hair will I need with a closure?
How much hair you will need with a closure depends on a couple of things: (1) the hair length and (2) the fullness you desire:


10"-12"= 1-1.5 packs
14"-16"= 1.5-2 packs
18"-22"=2-2.5 packs
22"-26"= 2.5-3 packs

What is the difference between the swiss lace and thin skin closure?
The difference between swiss lace and thin skin closure is that the swiss lace closure is made with a transparent nylon lace material that has many tines holes; which allows for ventilation. The thin skin closure is made of a non-transparent polyurethane material that resembles a scalp and gives the appearance that hair is growing from the scalp. Thin skin closure can also accommodate any kind of attachment whether it is bonding with glue or tape, or sewing. They are both very durable and natural looking.

Common Hair Myths

There are several myths about hair that have been passed on from generation to generation. Here are 8 of the most common hair myths:
Myth #1: Cutting Hair Makes It Grow Faster and/or Thicker
False. Shorter hair often looks and feels thicker but cutting your hair won’t alter its normal biologically determined growth rate or overall texture. Thin, limp or fine hair will not ever grow thicker in response to a haircut. Plump up your hair by using volume enhancing hair care products, experimenting with a hair fattening blunt cut or getting a texturizing perm or color treatment.
Myth #2:Split ends can be repaired.
Sorry this isn't true either. Split ends cannot be repaired and should be cut off immediately or they will split higher and do even more damage. Holding onto split ends will only further damage your hair.
Myth #3: Hair Will Always Remain The Same Texture
False. Although you may be born with straight, curly or wavy locks, there are many circumstances under which your hair’s ultimate texture can be permanently altered. Pregnancy, medication, chemotherapy, age and other variables can cause your texture to be temporarily or permanently altered.
Myth #4: Washing Hair Every Day Dries It Out
Another hair myth. The right shampoo for your hair type and texture will actually add moisture, body and beauty
Myth #5: Pluck one gray hair and two will grow back.
False.  This is a tale that seems to have been passed on from generation to generation. In my educated opinion it is not true. A hair can be pulled out from the root with no effect to the root itself except at times to weaken it. Pulling out a hair will not cause the root to split and produce more than one hair. I think the myth is perpetuated because often when you find a gray hair, you have come to that age when your body has begun the graying process and in it’s natural course more and 
Myth #6: Baldness is inherited from the mothers side of the family.
More Hair Voodoo. Male and female pattern hair loss can be inherited from either side of the family and may or may not skip many generations. Male pattern hair loss usually begins at age 18 to 20 and female patter hair loss between ages 45 and 55.
Myth #7: Hair Can Become Immune to Shampoo
False. Shampoo will always do its job: clean. So why does it seem like your favorite bottle suddenly stops working? "Shampoo contains ingredients that condition and provide styling benefits, but it can also leave a residue that builds up," says Desai. If you start to notice dullness, use a clarifying shampoo (try Nexxus Aloe Rid Gentle clarifying shampoo, $11; at drugstores) once or twice a month to remove accumulated product -- any more often and you could strip hair of its healthy natural oils.
Myth #8: Hair can be trained.
This is another myth that has been around for a long time. Hair is untrainable, much like your kid brother. There is no amount of combing that will cause curly hair to become straight. When it is shampooed, it will go right back to its normal habits. The same thing goes for trying to train hair into a side or center part. If it doesn’t go that way easily or naturally, there is no amount of persuasion that will cause it to go of its own accord. 

Interesting & Fun Hair Facts

At http://www.sultryhairextensions.com/ my favorite online hobby lately has been visiting random facts and useless knowledge websites. I can't say I will ever use this information, unless I am ever a contestant on a game show. I know more useless information than any person should ever know. That being said, I've decided to dedicate this article about 15 of the most interesting and fun facts about hair. Enjoy!

• Split ends cannot be repaired and should be cut off immediately or they will continue to split higher and do more damage.
• Next to bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body.
• Hair is actually dead material when it leaves its root, otherwise it would hurt when you cut your hair with scissors. 
• The reason why hair turns gray as we age is because the pigment cells in the hair follicle start to die, which is responsible for producing "melanin" which gives the hair colour.
• The big toe is the foot reflexology pressure point for the head.
• Hair grows approximately 1/2 an inch per month. 
• Hair growth occurs fastest between the ages of 15 and 30.
• The average life span of a strand of hair is between 4 and 7 years.
• Hair is shed on a daily basis. It is normal to shed between 75-150 hairs per day.
• Hair grows faster in warm and sunny weather.
• Your hair can reveal a lot about you: what you eat, if you do drugs, what you do to your hair, your ethnicity (different races have different hair structure) and so on. So, anyone with a strand of hair from your scalp can, in theory, make a profile of your lifestyle.
• Hair is made from the same substance as fingernails: keratin.
• The first hair dryer was a vacuum cleaner that was adapted for drying hair.
• Scientists have been found that people with a high IQ have more Zinc and Copper in their hair.
• The numbers of hairs on the head vary with the hair's natural color. 

1. Redheads have about 90,000. 
2. Black, 108,000. 
3. Brown, 140,000
4. Blondes have about 140,000, maybe that's why they have more fun!?!

Clip-on Hair Extensions FAQ's

There are many different ways in which hair extensions can be applied. Some of the popular ways involve sewing, bonding or gluing them to your natural hair; however if you are looking for a more temporary length or volume then clip in hair extensions is a popular alternative. Clip in hair extensions provide you with a low maintenance, no commitment and quick solution to get longer hair while you are waiting for your natural hair to grow. They less expensive than going to a salon to have extensions applied via other methods of application. Below are some commonly asked questions customers ask regarding clip in hair extensions.

Are the clips comfortable?
The top of the line polymer coated clips provides a superior gripping power and extra comfortable fit. They hold strong for all day wear.
Will my hair extensions look natural?
The discreet clip fastenings are hidden by your own hair. No one will be able to tell you are wearing our clip in hair extensions unless you choose to share your secret with them.
Will the clip in hair extensions slip out?
No, they will not fall out of your hair. Even when pulled gently, they will not slip completely out, but may slip down just a bit, but with one hand, you can reach under your hair and open and re-snap the clip.
Are the hair extensions made of human hair?
Yes, our clip in hair extensions are made only with 100% remy human hair.

Will they damage my hair?
Clip-in extensions will not damage your hair or scalp. Due to weight of extensions it is advisable that your own hair is at least 4 inches long.
Can I keep re-using them?
Yes, you can re-use them as much as you want as long as you take care of them. They often last a lot longer than other hair extensions as they are easier to care for than ones which are glued or bonded to your hair. With proper care the clip n hair extensions should last over a year or longer.
Can I keep them in over night?
You can, but it is recommend that you take them out at night.
Can you see the clips?
No, the clips are applied onto your hair, underneath the extensions.
Can I cut them?
You are able to cut and style them into any style that you want to suit your natural hair and to blend them in better; however if you are planning to cut them it is a good idea to ask your hair dresser to do it for you as cutting them requires the same amount of skill that is needed to cut your natural hair.
Will my Scalp be able to breath?
Like hair extensions that are glued or bonded to your hair, your clip in ones will be fitted close to your hairs roots/scalp. They are attached in a way so that they do not block your roots or scalp so that you can feel and touch your scalp as normal.
Can I color or highlight the clip-on hair extensions?

Since our hair extensions are 100% human hair you can color them; however, it is advisable to order them in the color that matches your natural color.

How many packs will I need to cover my whole head?
You will only need one pack of clip-on hair extensions for a full head installation.  Each pack contains 5 (triple wefted) pieces. The full set includes:

(1) 8" Section- 3 clips
(1) 7" Section- 3 clips
(1) 6" Section- 3 clips

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa at the 2010 Oscars

At the 2010 Oscars, Sandra Bullock looked gorgeous in a great gown from Marchesa. Sandra always has a great, simple style that makes her seem down to earth and friendly, rather than out of reach like many of the stars. Sandra's girl next door style is easy for anyone to copy, and will look great on any woman, which is probably why nearly all of us love Sandra.


The Marchesa gown that the Best Actress Oscar winner wore was a beautiful gold color with beading that made her sparkle on the red carpet. Sandra, like most of us, looks incredible when she's all dressed up. Her hair, her makeup, the color of the dress was all perfect for her. The sheer bodice and shimmery skirt were sexy, yet subtle, and the bodice itself sparkled with with the floral design. She paired it with bright red lipstick, simple makeup, and had her long hair parted on the side, tucked behind her ear and falling over one shoulder with not a strand out of place. She looked radiant with her lovely earrings and bracelet, and the clutch she carried that was the same shimmery color as her skirt.

Sandra often looks comfortable with who she is, and the way she paired this gown and pulled off the look, even with the skirt reaching the floor and trailing along after her, unlike many of the celebs. So is there a lesson for us when we watch Sandra win such awards as Best Actress? The answer is simple – be comfortable with who you are and the rest will fall into place.

While there were several celebrities who wore Marchesa, such as Vera Farmigia, Sandra looked the best in the Marchesa gown that she chose. Marchesa is an incredible designer, and all the dresses look fantastic, though some of them seem a bit overly large or actually too detailed. Marchesa creates the dresses the stars wear, and also some fantastic bridal dresses. If you're looking for Marchesa gowns, head to Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman, since these are the only places you are likely to find such beautiful gowns in the United States.

Get Rid of Hair Extension Static

Static can be very strong in winter. Static electric shock happens more often because of the low humidity levels in our homes, heated by fireplaces and forced hot air. Static electricity can be a nuisance - clothes cling together and awful fly-away hair. What do to? Check out the tips below.

• Get yourself a humidifier- By using a humidifier, you get the air in your home back to normal humidity levels, and you will find that with increased humidity, the static will be reduced. For those of you with curly hair, your curls will get stronger with higher humidity.
• Dryer Softener Sheet- Another solution is to rub a dryer softener sheet over the brush, and even on your hair before brushing. It does wonders and cuts down of tangles!
• Wet Hair- Also wetting your hair and combing it will decrease hair static. 
• Hair Spray- Using hair spray can decrease the electrical charge in your hair. 
• Investigate Your Hair Products- If you still have trouble with static, investigate on your hair care products. Some shampoos wash your hair so squeak clean, that all natural oils disappear - they protect your hair shaft, and prevent static, too. If you do not wish to change your products, use jojoba oil after washing to add the natural amount of oil to your hair.
• Look at your wardrobe- If you can't seem to get rid of static, have a look at your wardrobe. Chemical fibers are apt to cause static - most important are viscose and polyester. Switching to natural (and electrically neutral) fibers like cotton, silk or wool also helps a lot in getting rid of static.

How to Remove Hair Extensions

Removal of hair extensions can be done by a professional or you can remove them yourself. Whether the extensions are pre bonded, micro rings, or fusion bonded hair extensions, it is important to keep you hair in great condition.
Clip-in Hair Extensions
Removing clip-ins is incredibly easy. Just as you simply clip them into your hair when you want them, when you have had enough you just open open the clip and away you go.
Seamless Hair Extensions
Seamless hair extensions can be removed by applying an adhesive remover or solvent and by gently massaging the adhesive to loosen the bond and remove. A great tip when removing seamless hair is to use a blow dryer on low heat after you have applied the solvent. This will help loosen those hard to remove bonds.
Bonded Hair Extensions

Bonded hair extensions can be removed by applying an adhesive remover or solvent and by gently massaging the adhesive to loosen the bond and remove. A great tip when removing seamless hair is to use a blow dryer on low heat after you have applied the solvent. This will help loosen those hard to remove bonds.

Sew-in Hair Extensions (Weaves)

It would help if you had someone to help you. We recommend getting a sew-in weave removed by an experiences hairstylist. That way you don't run the risk of cutting your own hair. Its always good to have another pair of eyes when using scissors and working with your hair. Pull your weave up into a ponytail at the top of your hair. Take last track in the back and release from pony tail. This is the back of your hair some people can just feel the different between thread and their own hair. Place a mirror behind you so you can see the track cut one piece of the thread. Cut the thread, not the track. Start from where you cut the thread and lift remaining thread with your fingers. Repeat with rest of weave. You may have to make extra cuts but if you find where the knot is which is usually at either end and cut there then you can easily remove the weave.  It is best to use a razor or slim hair cutting scissors

Fusion Bonding Hair Extensions

Removal of any extensions that use a bonding agent must be done at a salon, but both fusion bonding and pre bonded extensions are removed in exactly the same way. A bond remover containing acetate will be applied to soften up the bond. After a bond has been briefly soaked, it is then broken up with a pair of pliers. If done correctly, the whole extension will slide down the
Micro Rings Hair Extensions
Again, it is important to get Micro Rings removed by an experiences hairstylist as trying to pull them out yourself can severely damage and break the hair. Proper removal is very quick, easy, and simply involves clamping the rings with a pair of pliers to squeeze them open. They are then just slid off of the hair, leaving it in perfectly good condition.natural hair.
Our hair naturally sheds overtime, but with extensions in, it sometimes can not fall from the head. The result is it looks like you are losing lots of hair when they are removed, but don't be alarmed, it's perfectly natural. Once all your extensions are removed, it is wise to follow up with a good shampoo and a deep condition. At Sultry Hair Extensions, we sell hair extension removers and solvents for every hair extension type.
