Gorgeous, natural looking, results acheived using our Fine Hair Fillers today helping to restore volume for my lovely client's hair.

For our finer haired clients - Fine Hair Fillers are 50% reduced in both strand thickness and weight compared to standard size bonds, enabling the strands to blend in much more naturally with the thinner density of fine hair.

Applied using Digital Ultrasonic Cold Fusion; An advancement in bonded application which eliminates the heat of traditional bonded methods, protecting your hair from heat damage during application.

A couple of examples to show the difference between our standard size 1g bonds and our 0.5g Fine Hair Filler bonds we offer.

If you have medium to thick hair then our standard size bonds are the perfect choice to blend in with your natural hair.

For our finer haired clients - Fine Hair Fillers are 50% reduced in both strand thickness and weight compared to standard size bonds, which enables the strands to blend in much more seamlessly with the naturally thinner density of your fine hair.

Both are applied using Digital Ultrasonic Cold Fusion; An advancement in bonded application which eliminates the heat of traditional bonded methods, to protect your hair from any heat damage during application.

Beautiful, natural looking, results using our Fine Hair Fillers. Only a partial application was needed to give my lovely client this extra thickness, in her fine hair, she craved 🥰. These lovely results will last her up to three months of continuous wear.

Customised to camouflage seamlessly with the finer density of thinner hair, our Fine Hair Fillers are 50% lighter in both density and weight than standard size bonds. As an added boost to further protect the health of her natural hair, we applied these using Digital Ultrasonic Cold Fusion.

Gorgeous results from my lovely client's third refit of her tape hair extensions today 🥰. She's taken great care of it and this blend of Russian/Mongolian hair is still in such a beautiful condition after six months continuous wear so far. After todays refit she can expect up to another two to three months wear time before the next refit is due.

The price for removal, retape, and refit costs £105.00, making tape hair extensions a very cost effective option in the long term 👌.

Fantastic result for my lovely client with our Fine hair Fillers today - achieving exactly what they are designed to do - providing volume for fine hair in the most naturally blended, realistic, way. 🥰

The brief for today was to replace the volume she's lost in the last few years at the sides and to give her hair back the weight on the bottom. Our Fine Hair Fillers at the sides, coupled with a few discreet light rows at the back have filled those gaps with the perfect amount of volume. Alongside the base colour we peppered in some complimenting coppery red hues, requested by our client for a subtle balayage effect, adding depth and dimension.👌

Lets talk about water hardness and how this can affect the colour of your hair extensions, and also what you can do to eradicate these annoying effects 🤛

Do you know what the water hardness of your area is like? Water hardness relates to the mineral content level in your water. For my clients in the Southampton area you can check your postcode here on the Southern Water website, to ascertain the level of mineral content in your water: https://www.southernwater.co.uk/help-and-support/hard-water-checker-and-full-water-quality-report/

I know for me - I'm in a moderately hard water area and this results in a horrid build up on my own hair and also on my extensions. Every time I wash my hair these minerals are being deposited on to it. Over time this builds up and not only does it coat the hair altering the texture, sheen, & condition, but it also discolours it. ☹️ Depending on the mineral levels - Blonde tones can turn brassy, green, pink or peach, and darker colours can take on a coppery tinge.

The photo I've included on this post shows some of my own extensions worn for the same three month time frame. The strands on the right hand side are untreated and show the effects of this hard water build up - see that coppery hue in the darker strands? That's the hard water deposit build up.
The strands on the left hand side have been treated to remove the mineral build up and are now back to their original hue. 👌

As I advise all my clients in their hair extension aftercare guide - (if you aren't lucky enough to have a water softener installed in your property) you can use Malibu C - Hard Water Wellness Hair Remedy sachets - to eliminate this build up and to help restore the original tones of your extensions (always remember to avoid contact with the bonded area of your extensions when applying). Just to note - personally when I use this product to treat my hair - I leave mine on a little longer than advised (instead of 5 minutes I generally leave it on for around 15 minutes).

If you believe hard water build up has affected your own extensions, try using this product for yourself and see how it helps. ❤️

Thank you to my lovely client today for putting her trust in me to have her first ever set of extensions fitted. 🥰

The brief for today was to just replace the volume she's lost in the last few years at the sides and to give her hair back the weight on the bottom - for some vitality and swoosh. We went for just a few of our Fine Hair Fillers at the sides - which restored the volume in a natural looking way and bridged those gaps perfectly.👌

Tape extensions working their magic ✨ on replacing the loss of hair my client was faced with after a salon accidentally chemically burnt off her hair during a dye process. 😲

It's not an easy job to restore length and volume when the layers I'm working with are this short but as you can see for yourself it is possible. 🥰 We were so pleased with this natural looking blend that will disguise that damage while her own hair repairs and grows.

Loving this gorgeous result from yesterday's fitting - bonds with Digital Ultrasonic Cold Fusion. A big thank you 👏 to my fabulously patient & lovely client. 🥰

Filling in such short layers can be possible but takes more extensions to achieve a realistic blend - so please bear in mind that both extra time (and bonds) will be needed if your layers are very short and extra length is what you're after. 👍
