Sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner keeps your hair looking great.

Summer is synonymous with fun and that includes having fun with your look. This year’s hair shows are full of playful, whimsical looks anyone can emulate with help from hair extensions, styling tools and hair products. This summer’s hottest hairstyles invite you to unleash your creativity. Just don’t forget to spritz on sun protection for hair as your final prep step this season and to use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to protect your locks and retain your color.

Make a Bold Color Statement

Speaking of color, expect to see surprising hues on fashionable heads this season. If you haven’t yet discovered hair chalk, now is the time to start experimenting. Use it to add streaks of blue, orange, pink, green or yellow to your locks. You can enjoy a fun, fresh style with the peace of mind in knowing you can rinse it out when your mood changes.

Show Equal Parts

Center parts are showing up on long and short styles. This is a quick way to create a sleek, classy look without too much fuss.

Swept Away

Sun protection for hair is essential this summer.

Another big trend this season focuses on the part. This time, though, it involves a more dramatic side part. Dress it up with plenty of product or keep it cool and loose for a casual look.

Go Natural

Casual, low-maintenance beachy hair is a time-honored summer staple that continues to be big for 2015. Simply embrace your natural waves and curls rather than trying to tame them. Voila, consider yourself very much in style!

Go Straight

Long, straight, shiny hair never goes out of style. For summer, pair it with flirty and fun clips, head bands and sparkly hair accessories that shimmer in the sunlight.

Go Half and Half

Can’t decide whether to rock an updo or keep your locks loose? Enjoy the best of both worlds with trendy half up and half down hair. Grab a cute hair accessory and a handful of bobby pins and experiment. Easily incorporate other trends like wet-look and pastel-streaked hair into the half and half look.

Embrace Wet Head

Hair extensions need special care in the sun.

When most people think of summer, they usually think of water in the form of oceans and swimming pools. The wet, just stepped out of the shower look is trendy for summer and super easy to pull off with just a comb and the right products!

Pony Up

The ever-versatile ponytail never goes out of style and that holds true for summer 2015. Wear it high and tight or wear it low and loose. Whatever your preference, head out with the confidence you’re on trend, especially if you add accents and accessories to complete your look.

Crimp It

That’s right — this 1990s throwback is back in style. Rifle through the back of your bathroom closet and dust off that crimping iron.

If you want to look amazing and on trend this summer, hair extensions definitely belong in your arsenal of props. Versatility is the name of the game this season, and extensions offer that in spades.

Shiny hair extensions can help you emulate celebrity wedding hairstyles.

There’s much to do before your big day: dresses to buy, fittings to attend and hairstyles to plan for. With photos that will likely be prominently displayed in your home and your relatives’ homes for all to see, your wedding hairstyle should not be an afterthought, but well planned and executed!

When deciding how to wear your locks, take a cue from recent celebrity weddings. These people have teams of experts and stylists advising them on the best styles. The best part is, you can emulate them without spending a ton of money. Here are a few versatile looks that truly turn heads. Unless you’ve been blessed with naturally long, thick hair, hair extensions will help you achieve these winning nuptial looks.

Kate Middleton

Sulfate free shampoo will ensure your hair looks great for your wedding.

You know a hairstyle is a winner when it’s chosen for a long-awaited, much-celebrated royal wedding. Kate’s demi-chignon combined the best of both worlds: part updo and part long flowing tresses. Both shiny hair extensions and natural hair will set off your veil nicely if you wear one, as Kate did. For you, a non-royal, a tiara is optional but could be a nice, unexpected, sparkly way to top off your wedding look!

Gwen Stefani

Known for having an edgy side and gravitating toward punk style inspiration, it’s no surprise Gwen’s wedding hair-do was as unique as she is. Her wedding coif featured height toward the crown, and then was meticulously combed back for a sleek look. She topped off her hairstyle with a beautiful, elegant hair accessory that shone as bright as her platinum tresses.

Amal Alamuddin

Who better to emulate than the beauty who finally enticed eternal bachelor George Clooney to walk down the aisle? Shiny hair extensions are a must to recreate this simple, yet stunning look. Amal wore her hair down, parted in the center, in loose waves. If you value simple, classic and elegant looks, this style is for you. It’s especially well-suited for brunettes, whose locks really pop with a high-sheen look.

Kate Moss

Hair extensions can help you create more hairstyles.

Blondes look especially radiant in the tousled, wavy style Kate rocked on her special day. The long, soft waves looked ultra-feminine. Hair extensions will work especially well when recreating this look because they’ll add body and volume so your style stands up to all of the dancing you’ll be doing at the reception.

Jackie Kennedy

Some hairstyles never go out of style and that is true of Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding ‘do. Jackie’s classic bouffant has been a much-emulated wedding look for decades. It’s timeless, traditional and as beautiful now as it was then.

If extensions will bring your favorite wedding look to fruition, contact us at RemySoft Solutions for products like sulfate free shampoo, paddle brushes and conditioning sprays that will keep your extensions looking as beautiful as the day you get them.

Quality hair care will make your prom hairstyle look great.

Prom is a magical time marked by excitement and a flurry of activity. You’ve got to lock in your date; find a stunning dress, perfect shoes and dazzling accessories; arrange for your makeup to be done; and decide how you’ll style your hair. Many girls opt for up-dos because these styles have become the standard-issue hairdo for prom, but you’re no standard-issue girl. You’re a trendsetter who loves to turn heads. The best way to do that is by wearing your hair down for prom! You want your style to stand out so grab some hair extensions and experiment. Here are three looks to try for your special day.

Go Glam with Corkscrew Curls

Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner creates luscious locks.

To get this look, part your dry hair to one side and spritz on a heat-set spray. Work in sections and use a gator clip to secure the hair you aren’t working on so it stays out of the way. Using a one-inch or larger diameter curling iron, curl a section of hair from bottom to top. Here’s the key: when you release a curl, unwind it slowly and gently from your curling iron instead of pulling the curling iron away from the hair. This will keep the corkscrew-shaped curls intact. Repeat on all of your hair and finish the look with a pretty sparkly clip and humidity-resistant hairspray.

Go Retro with Classic Curls

If your prom dress is a classic, pair it with this equally timeless hairstyle that will stand up to a full night of dancing. After you’ve towel-dried you hair and massaged smoothing cream through it, comb it and part it deeply to whichever side you prefer. To recreate this style, you’ll need a 1-1/4-inch diameter curling iron. Spritz on heat-set spray and curl sections of hair from the middle to the roots (leaving hair around the scalp untouched). Let curls thoroughly cool and then smooth the hair near your scalp with a paddle brush. Using a light hand, gently brush back curls to achieve a soft look. Spritz on a medium-hold spray and you are ready to dance the night away!

Pin-Up Girl

Hair extensions can help you achieve these great looks.

Vintage glam is a big prom trend and with it is pin-up long hair. Part hair diagonally and dry it while working a paddle brush so hair wraps around your head. Using a one-inch diameter curling iron, make large curls at the crown of your head and pin each back to cool. Repeat throughout your hair. Once hair cools, gently remove the pins securing the bottom pins only, allowing curls to flow loosely. Do not brush! Keep the top curls pinned and use bobby pins to meticulously place them. Spritz with maximum-hold spray to secure the look.

A Word about Hair Extension Care

The styles above will come alive with hair extensions. Most are made of synthetic hair so they require  products so they don’t become damaged. Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner are the best options for gently cleansing your extensions. You don’t skimp on products for your natural hair so make sure to treat your extensions with the same TLC.

Knowing how to care for hair extensions is important when spending time outside.

All across the country, music festivals present the opportunity to get together with others who have the same taste in music and enjoy some amazing shows. Whether you are going to see just one band or you’re in it for the overall experience, creating the perfect hair style is paramount. Understanding how to care for hair extensions, especially if you’ll be outdoors, is essential to keep them looking their best for longer. With the use of a protective hair serum, you can achieve these stylish looks.

Flower Crowns

Sun protection for hair is necessary when attending music festivals.

Flower power may date back to the 60s, but it’s alive and well in today’s music scene. If you want to make the most of your hair extensions, consider adding a floral crown to your favorite hair style to dress it up for your time at the music festival. A floral ring can also increase sun protection for your hair as it covers some of your hair from the potentially harmful rays of the sun.

Flower Accessories

You don’t need a full flower crown to create a fun look for the music festival season. In fact, you can incorporate flowers into just about any hair style, whether your hair is long or short. You can purchase a number of hair accessories featuring beautiful blooms or head to the craft store and buy a few small silk flowers that match your favorite outfits. Cutting the stems short, you can easily weave these flowers into your hair extensions for a fun look.

Waves and Braids

Protective hair serum will keep your hair looking great.

Braids are big when it comes to music festivals. They’re easy to create and help keep your hair out of your face so you feel cooler out in the warm summer sun. To achieve this look, pull your hair back in a half-tail and braid it down the center. Use a styling iron to create a wavy look with the hair that remains down. This perfect combination of braids and waves is perfect for those who have longer hair and are using hair extensions to either lengthen or thicken their hair.

Playful Ponytails

Ponytails are another easy way to create a playful style for the music festival season. Pull your hair back into a high or low ponytail and add a few streaks of spray-in color to really stand out from the crowd. With a low ponytail, you can even add your favorite baseball cap to keep the sun out of your eyes and provide some additional sun protection for your hair.

Finding the perfect hair style for music festivals is fun and easy. There are so many options available, many of which are made even better with the addition of hair extensions. As long as you use a protective hair serum to prevent drying out in the sun and wind, you can have beautiful hair throughout the festival and express yourself in new ways.

Quality hair care keeps your bridesmaids’ hair looking great.

If you are planning your wedding, your top priority is making sure you look amazing on your special day. It goes without saying you and your groom will be the stars of the show. However, all leading ladies have supporting casts, and in this case, you’ve got your bridesmaids. They won’t hold a candle to you, of course, but you do want to make sure they shine in their own rights as they take a supporting role in your special day. Here’s the good news: with quality hair care products, including high-end hair extensions, your bridesmaids can look amazing without breaking the bank.

The Ethereal Braid

Hair extensions can help all of your bridesmaids achieve great looks.

Thanks to natural-looking, versatile and easy-to-use hair extensions, even your bridesmaids with shorter hair can pull off this timeless look. With a bit of practice, perfecting this style is simple. From the crown of the head to the middle of the hair, create a French braid and then secure it. Then, from the middle of the head to the ends, braid about three quarters of the remaining hair. Pin that section with rhinestone or pearl pins, and let the remaining one quarter of hair flow naturally down into a soft wave.

The French Twist Times Two

A French twist is lovely and elegant. Double it, and you’ve got a wedding-worthy special-occasion look for your bridesmaids. Here is how to get the look: create a mini pompadour toward the front crown of the hair. Roll one side of the hair toward the crown and pin it, then repeat on the other side. Secure both twists with decorative pins or even faux flowers that complement your bridesmaids’ dresses.

The Chignon/French Braid Combo

Hair products for remy hair are ideal for producing wedding hairstyles.

This hairstyle combines two classics: the chignon and the French braid. It may sound daunting, but with patience and practice, your bridesmaids can recreate this look. First, hair should be parted to one side and that side should be French braided and then secured. Next, repeat the same steps on the other side of the head. Hair in the center back of the scalp that is not swept up into a braid should be lightly combed to add volume. Finally, take the loose hair, roll it into a classic chignon, twist and secure. Voila! A classic long-hair bridesmaid look.

Hair extensions are a great way to stand out and elevate your look during special occasions. Your bridesmaids will love experimenting with these looks and the versatility of hair extensions. In fact, if they have never worked with extensions before, don’t be surprised if they become hooked and opt to make them a regular part of their looks.

Are you wondering how you can possibly thank your devoted bridesmaids for helping you pull off your special wedding day? How about surprising them with an assortment of hair products for Remy hair? That is a gift they’ll truly appreciate! Contact us and we’ll help you put together the perfect thank-you gift!

Hair extensions help you create the perfect look for your wedding.

You’ve dreamed of your wedding day for a long time. You may already have an idea of what your dress will look like, which flowers you want to use, who will stand up with you and what color they will wear. All that’s left is determining what you want to do with your hair on this special day. The following hair styles will leave you feeling glamorous on your wedding day, especially if you use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.

The Piecey Bun

A bun is a popular style for brides because it is a classic look and can be enhanced with the use of hair extensions. However, if you feel like a typical bun is too severe of a look for your wedding day, consider this alternative. When you create your bun, allow some layers of hair to fall out of the secured shape so it frames your face. This creates the perfect complement to your veil or other headpiece.

Sideswept Bangs

Another classy look that is ideal for use in weddings is the sideswept bangs. This hair style works best if you have longer hair or if you have  you won’t be removing before your big day. To create this type of style, loosely brush your hair toward the back of your head and secure it with a rhinestone encrusted clip or one covered in flowers.

Mussed-Up Twist

The French twist is a popular hair style for brides, but you don’t have to stick with the tight style that has been used for years. Instead, consider allowing the hair around your face to puff out loosely. You can further alter the look by allowing some strands to break free and surround your face.

Romantic Twists

If you prefer to keep your hair down, a romantic twist can be the perfect alternative, especially if you won’t be wearing a veil and have chosen a tiara instead. This hair style is easy to create and allows for a greater number of choices for hair that is left down. Simply separate two small bunches of hair, one on either side of your head near the front. Make sure they are at the same height along the side of your head. Twist each of these sections along the side of your head and then secure them together at the back. You can curl your longer hair and hair extensions or leave them natural.

Finding the perfect look for your wedding can be overwhelming. You’ve always dreamed of this day and probably want everything to be exactly the way you have envisioned. Not only do you want to make sure you find the right dress and flowers, but your hair is a top priority as well. These and many other hair styles are perfect for hair of all lengths, especially if you wear hair extensions.

Hair extensions can help you create the perfect prom look.

Prom season is right around the corner, and it’s never too early to start considering which hair style you want to wear, especially if you still need to get hair extensions to pull it off. While picking out the right dress might be your top priority, how you fix your hair can make or break the overall look. If you’re still looking for the best hair style, consider these options.

The Retro Movie Star Look

If you look back to the movie stars of the 20s and 30s, you will recognize some of the styles as today’s popular prom styles. To create this look, part your hair straight on one side of your head. Apply a strong hair gel throughout your hair, particularly in the top portion, and rub it in well. Use your fingers to create waves where you want them and then dry the gel with a hair dryer. You may also want to curl the ends.

Long, Luxurious Waves

Prom styles of the past typically consisted of fancy up-dos that piled the hair on top of the head. However, today’s hair style trends focus on creating long, luxurious waves of hair that add volume to your style. With the help of quality hair products for remy hair and a curling iron, you can coax your hair into luxurious waves that cascade over your shoulders and accent the look of your dress.

Half Up, Half Down

Not everyone enjoys the weight of their hair piled on top of their head. However, if you prefer the look of the up-do, consider choosing a style that is half up-do and half down. This is a great way to frame your face. Before your hair dries, apply styling cream to your wet hair and then dry with the help of a blow dryer and paddle brush. Part your hair to one side and draw back the front portion of each side toward the back of your head, securing it with bobby pins. Curl the back of your hair to complete the look and apply flowers or other accents.

Messy Curls

Today’s hair style trends focus on a slightly messier look. It’s no longer necessary to create the perfect hair do for any occasion. Instead, curl your hair loosely with a curling iron and pin the hair up in whatever style you would prefer. A light finishing spray will keep your hair in place the entire night.

When it comes to the top prom hair styles, there are plenty of options trending. Many of these styles can be enhanced with the use of hair extensions and quality hair care. Whether you wait until after you have found the dress or before, this list of hair styles can help guide you in the right direction.

hair extensions are a great option for men too.

When most people think of getting hair extensions, they think of women, but did you know many men are turning to the same solution? Both men and women can use extensions to achieve the new looks they want without waiting for their hair to grow out. The only real difference between the extensions men wear versus those women choose is the length of the extensions themselves, which can vary based on the individual’s need.

The Installation Process

Individuals who choose hair extensions will find the installation process is the same for both men and women. There are several types of extensions available. However, permanent extensions last much longer than the alternative because the hairstylist will weave the additional strands of hair into the existing hair for an integrated approach. Using hair products for remy hair is a necessity to ensure the longevity of your extensions since you won’t be able to remove them. If you want something temporary, clip-in extensions can be an ideal choice. Talk to your hairstylist to determine which option is right for you.

Quality

Just as there are several methods for installing hair extensions, you will find the quality varies greatly as well. Some individuals are happy with synthetic extensions, but it can be difficult to implement them seamlessly into your natural hair. This is why most men and women choose real hair or remy extensions. These extensions are available in a number of textures and colors so you can easily blend them into your hair or use them as highlights or lowlights. The higher quality the extensions, the longer they will last, especially with quality hair care.

Maintenance

Hair extensions are relatively easy to care for, whether you have permanent or temporary extensions. It’s important to wash them regularly, just like you would with your natural hair. The primary difference is it’s important to purchase special hair products for remy hair for maintenance. These products don’t contain the harsh chemicals found in the hair care products you find at your grocery or drug store. There’s no need to wash your hair more often than normal just because you have extensions.

Hair extensions are just as popular with men as they are with women. While men and women typically prefer different hairstyles, the extensions are the same for both. The only real difference is the length of the extensions. Other than the length, the extensions are made from the same synthetic or remy strands and offer the same options. Regardless of what style you’re looking for, you can find the right extensions to give your hair the extra boost it needs. With quality hair care and hair products for remy hair, you will keep your extensions looking great for longer.

If you have hair extensions and need products to care for them properly, contact us. RemySoft Solutions carries a variety of quality hair care products specifically designed for extensions and wigs.

Proper hair brush care is essential to make your brush last longer.

Every hair lover has their favorite brush, but did you know there’s a vital step to your hair care routine you may be missing? It is important to wash and care for your favorite brushes on a regular basis in order to keep your hair or hair extensions looking as fabulous as ever. Proper hair brush care keeps your styling tools free of dust, oil and hair products for remy hair which can build up over time, affecting the way your brush performs.

To prevent build up from making your hair drab, RemySoft recommends cleaning your brush every few weeks or more if you use hair products for remy hair, as these will cause more build up. Hair brush care only takes a few minutes so there’s no excuse for not keeping your brush as nice and clean as your favorite hair extensions. Just follow our easy hair brush care guide to keep your styling tools in top shape!

Supplies

First, you’ll need to grab a few things. You probably already have these tools on hand in your bathroom:

• Your brush
• Pen/pencil/makeup brush (something with a tapered end)
• Scissors
• Spray bottle with a mix of 1 part water and 1 part vinegar
• A bowl
• Sulfate-free cleansing or clarifying shampoo

Step One

Now that you have everything you need, we need to get rid of all that hair stuck in your brush! Use your pen/pencil/makeup brush underneath the hair and gently pull the dislodger upward until the hair loosens. Using your scissors, cut through the middle of the hair, carefully avoiding the bristles of your brush. Then simply remove all the extra hair! Repeat as many times as necessary until your brush is hair free.

Step Two

Take your spray bottle filled with water and vinegar and spray this mixture into your brush. After sitting for about five minutes, this magic mixture will begin to dislodge all of the buildup and excess hair products for remy hair on your brush.

Step Three

While your magic mixture is getting all the gunk off your brush, go ahead and fill up your bowl with some warm water and a tablespoon of your sulfate-free clarifying shampoo, such as RemySoft Moisturelab Hydrating Cleanser.

Step Four

Place your brush into the warm, soapy water and wash the brush and bristles thoroughly to get any remaining residue. Once your hair brush is free of all products and oils, rinse with warm water and allow it to air dry.

Hair extensions can help create award show looks.

Many of us pay close attention to what the celebrities are wearing on the runway during awards season, but have you ever seen someone’s hair style and wondered how you could achieve the same look? With the help of hair extensions and hair products for remy hair, you can get the same award show styles right at home.

Side Swept

Sweeping the hair to one side has long been a popular style on the Hollywood circuit. This look works great on all lengths and types of hair, whether you have short wavy hair, long straight hair or something in between. If your hair doesn’t seem full enough to pull off this look, hair extensions can help fill your hair out.

Tousled

Messy is in for both men and women. While you don’t want to crawl straight out of bed and go about your day, a controlled mess with a tousled look can help you achieve an awards show look with ease. Make sure you use hair products for remy hair to prevent frizz if this is the look you’re aiming for.

Braids Are Back

You may associate braids with young girls or even hippies, but the truth is they are making a comeback among celebrities. If you pay attention to the red carpet at the next awards show, you may find several celebrities sporting braids as part of their hair style. While you aren’t likely to see a solitary thick braid hanging down the back, you will find smaller braids woven into the most popular hair styles. Hair extensions can be an easy way to achieve this look.

The 20s Are Back Too

Many celebrities are digging way back to find new options for their hairstyles. In fact, the dapper short styles from the 20s have found their way back onto the red carpet, reminiscent of the golden age of Hollywood. These short hairstyles can be achieved with just about any hair type, but some individuals may need to add a few extensions to fully create the look.

Slicked Up-Dos

The up-do is always a popular choice when attending a fancy event, such as an awards show. While many hair styles come and go, there are always a number of up-do options trending among celebrities. Due to the increasing popularity of wet-looking hair, many of today’s up-dos are accompanied by hair slicked back sharply from the face.

If you envy the celebrity hair styles you see on the red carpet more than the beautiful gowns, you too can achieve a similar look with the help of hair extensions and quality hair care using hair products for remy hair. Just about any style you see on your favorite celebrity can be replicated, especially if you’re willing to use hair extensions.
