The third part of the series “Which extensions is best?”

Though this next extension may not be my favorite type of extension, it still gives flawless results. The Tape-in! A trustworthy and very sticky extension! Not for you, but for me;) The tape-in has been around since the early 2000’s and has evolved since. This extension takes the route of appearance a bit of a different way, the tape-in is essentially thin strips of hair with a sticky adhesive on either side.

Best Ways to Prevent Aging

Aging can be caused by the sun, UV rays from tanning beds, the way we use our skin care, the foods we consume, the amount of sleep we get, our stress levels and genetics and more. The older we get, the less collagen we make. In fact, after age 25, we lose 1% or more of collagen every year! Your skin care routine can help prevent this.

Your hair isn’t frizzy, it’s probably wavy. 

Your hair isn’t frizzy, it’s probably wavy.

A guide to your new wavy hair routine, written by Molly Dion, stylist at Expressions by Tanya salon.

Have you ever noticed that your hair is not straight, but it’s not curly either? Does your hair frizz up when you brush it? Do you see S shaped bends or loose curls forming in your hair when its wet, but it as soon as you comb it, it straightens out?

If you can relate, you don’t just have frizzy hair, you probably have wavy hair!

Wavy hair is somewhere between curly hair and straight hair. It’s common that you have been treating your hair like it’s straight because you know it’s not curly. Waves are a part of the curl family and should be cared for accordingly.

Introducing new products and styling methods to your hair routine can sound overwhelming at first, but styling your wavy hair will allow you to enhance your hair’s natural pattern without spending hours on it, and save you time and energy in the long run. I would love to share some of my favorite tips I have learned throughout the course of my own wavy hair journey.
