How are SisterBrown™ extensions applied?
Fusion, Strand by Strand, or Pre-Tipped Hair - This is a process done strand by strand in small sections. Using heated adhesive sticks and a glue gun especially made for hair extension. Hair is added directly to your own hair. Hair can be bought ready cut, weft removed and pre tipped with adhesive. A purging tool is used to warm the adhesive and apply it to your natural hair.
Weaving - This is a process in which you create a corn row or track around the head and close to the scalp. Weft hair extensions are then sewn onto the tracks. Your own hair lays over the tracks for a natural look.
Bonding - This is the easiest method. A bonding glue is applied onto the weft of the hair extensions and then applied at the root of your hair. This is a temporary method.
Clip ins - Clips can be sewn onto human hair extensions. You may clip these in and out yourself.
Mini-Links - This method uses no glue, no heat, no remover and also no damage to the hair. Small circular links are used to create a full head of hair. Your own hair is pulled through in small pieces with a tool that looks like a crochet hook then the pre tipped hair is put inside the link and it is squeezed tight. To remove use pinchers to open the link. Weaves can be done with links. Make a row of links and sew extensions hair to the links. You can also use a link in certain spots that may be lifting to hold it down or make it to your next appointment. Links are also used to make a circle and sew down a hairpiece or to hold down wigs. The plus is no glue and no heat and they are very small so they lay really flat and are hard to see.
This is my first time using SisterBrown™ Extensions. What do I do?
Choose whether you want to apply them yourself or have a professional put them in. Choose the color that matches your own hair, a length and curl pattern. The most important part of hair extensions is choosing the right hair, if you are not sure, please seek professional advice.
What colour should I choose?
When choosing a colour to match your own hair, choose a colour that matches your hair from the middle to the ends. Never buy hair the colour of your out growth (nearest to the scalp) as that is always darker. The blending of your hair on the bottom part is most important. SisterBrown™ hair comes in many beautiful shades to choose from.
How much SisterBrown™ hair do I need?
Each person is different depending on how thick you want the hair, where it is being placed, head size, how it is being applied, styled or cut etc. Since we cannot do a face to face consultation please seek professional advice.
What is a weft?
A weft is strands of hair which have been sewn along one edge to create a line of hair.
What is the difference between machine weft and hand tied weft?
Hand tied wefts have been sewn by hand to make the smallest weft possible for the most invisible look. Machine wefts are sewn by machine and are slightly larger than hand tied wefts.
What is the width of a ¼ pound of hair?
SisterBrown™only sell bulk hair by weight. Bulk Hair is only sold to wholesalers.
Will SisterBrown™ extensions damage my hair?
SisterBrown™ hair extensions will not damage your hair if cared for and properly maintained.
Can I brush, curl blow dry and wash it?
Absolutely! This is your new hair. Curl it and have fun. Though you can wash everyday you will find that your extensions hair will stay clean and curled for days.
How do I wash them?
Wash the hair as you would normally. Use shampoos as normal, but leave the conditioner in for a little longer. Brush your hair through whilst the conditioner is still in.
Can I colour or perm the extension hair?
Because the hair has been processed and sterilized we do not advise doing any more chemical treatments, ie.. colour or perm as it can easily be ruined or not come out the colour you want. SisterBrown™supplies a range of colours.
What about coloring my own hair?
You or your stylist may definitely colour your own hair. Just colour the area of hair that has been left out of the extensions. Careful not to get coluor on the extensions hair as it grabs color really fast.
What types of products should I use?
Moisture is the most important thing. Please do not use products for oily hair or strippers that take out chlorine or product build up. These leave the hair dry. Use styling products that are zero or low alcohol. Products for dry hair are the best. Spray in conditioners and glossifiers are wonderful for the ends.
Can I swim and go in the sea?
You may go in to the sea, swimming pools and hot tubs. It is best to wash hair immediately after swimming and add a spray in conditioner.
Will anyone know I am wearing hair extensions?
No one will be able to tell if you apply the extensions as directed. Choosing the right colour and curl pattern is important.
How long will my hair extensions last?
The life span of SisterBrown™ hair varies depending on the wearer.
Each person is different, depending on climate, water, products used, care for the hair, brushing, using blow dryers and hot irons, how it was applied, swimming, how often washed, etc. Due to all these factors no one can give an exact amount of days hair will last. Companies that do this are misleading as each person has different circumstances. They can last for many months or be easily ruined if not cared for properly.
