WE ROUNDED UP THE TOP 10 SUMMER HAIR TRENDS On Pinterest…so you don’t have to! (Hint: they ALL involve long hair…so get those extensions ready). While Instagram is a favorite for sharing and seeing the hair creations of hairdressers everywhere…its Pinterest that serves as the board of inspiration or hair goals to challenge ourselves and our clients. We rounded up the Top 10 most commented, pinned and shared looks…all of which further prove that summer 2018 is all about long hair…braided, bunned and chignoned! THE HAIR: Pinterest users are obsessed with messy buns, braided updos, half-bun styles, and, even better, hybrid styles that incorporate aspects from each. There's a braided bun that's supposed to take two minutes to complete, a half-up bun with a fishtail on top, and two different ways to get pretty, messy buns—because you know they're never as easy as they look. THE COLOR: The two top trending hair colors on Pinterest are "bronde" (a balayage-esque combination of brown and blonde) and "ash" (pale colors with gray undertones). If all of this looks and sounds familiar, congratulations: You're on top of trends. If not, it might be time to update your Pinterest board!

SO MANY CHOICES…SO LITTLE SUMMER! Just a color swatch book can get clients into the endless possibilities of color, the SHE Hair Extensions color ring offers an effortless consultation to allow clients to see how the color will look in their hair before they get an install. Moreover, it’s a conversation starter...to get excited about color possibilities and to feel the realness of real human hair extensions.

OFTEN ASKED: How to get the “perfect summer curl” with extensions. THE FIX: Hold your curling wand differently! How you hold the curling wand will determine the difference between ho hum curls and chic, cool-girl bends? If you hold the curling wand HORIZONTALLY instead of VERTICALLY you can change the structure of the wave you’re creating. First, grab a small 1-inch section of hair. Then, starting at the mid-shaft of your hair, twist and wrap it over the barrel while holding the iron horizontally. Hold the hair in place for a few seconds, and then release for a loose wave. If you want tighter, more spirally curls, hold the wand vertically while you wrap the hair around it.

LIFT THE ROOTS for more voluminous hair! After installing a set of SHE Hair Extensions or Extensives Tape-Ins if you struggle to get that finished voluminous look, do this! Prep the damp hair with a lightweight volumizing spray, it’ll cling to hair better for more texture and height!

Is your hand steady enough to cut long hair with an electric razor?

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR EXTENSIONS AT THE BEACH: Pack a leave-in conditioner! Salt, surf, and sand wreak havoc on your hair—especially hair extensions that don’t have the benefit of receiving your natural scalp oils. Truly a beach girl's secret weapon, leave-in conditioner before and after beach time will transform your summer life. Smooth hair while frolicking in the waves? Check. Manageable strands straight from the beach to the streets? Check. Pack one of these favorites in your bag or car to keep hair under control and looking enviably healthy all the time. Bonus: They also help repair and rehydrate damaged hair!

EXTENSIONS STYLE INSPIRATION The "Regal Ponytail" Who knew one of Hollywood’s most regal-looking hairstyles could be its most affordable, too? Spotted on stars Condola Rashad and Jourdan Dunn, these braids and ponytails are wrapped in metallic thread and wire and create a luxe style. They also require little more than cents-on-the-yard wire purchased from the hardware or fabric store! To get this look, after installing SHE Hair Extensions, section off an extra-long ponytail with an inch or so of wrapped metallic threading to transform a simple style into one with volume and glamour.

EXTENSION OBJECTIONS: “I’ve heard it causes hair loss…” THE TRUTH: No, the wrong hair extensions, worn far too often cause hair loss. Celebrities like Britney Spears became a high-profile poster child of the condition known as traction alopecia, bringing widespread public awareness of the problem. Traction alopecia is the term for hair loss caused by damage from hair extensions that have been improperly applied…or overused. As the follicle of every strand of hair on your head is fragile, wearing clip-ins EVERY DAY, constantly wearing tight ponytails or heavy braids can put stress on the delicate root of the hair strand. DON’T EVER wear clip-ins every single day…and consult with a SHE Extensions Certified Beauty Professional before choosing extensions to find the right one for you.

DID YOU KNOW? The amount of time you spend getting your hair ready for work varies based on which day of the week it is. The average morning beauty routine for a Monday is about 76 minutes, but by Friday it drops down to just 19 minutes!
