How to Buy the Right Extensions.

Purchasing extensions online can be tricky, especially if it is your first time wearing extensions. We here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles have developed and easier way to buy the right product. Our website now allows you to upload a photo of yourself, and a photo of the hair you're trying to achieve, before buying any product. You can access the form here. http://www.pelo-hair.com/#!upload-your-photos-/c22i1

When you upload your photo to our website, your information is sent directly to one of our beauty consultants. Within 48 hours, if not sooner, you will receive either a phone call or an email from the consultant. She will discuss how much hair to buy, what type of product to buy, and the best way to have the product applied. This way you can purchase hair extensions online without any reservation as to if you have the right item in your cart and enough of it.

We want women to make educated decisions when it comes to buying hair extensions online. Not every product is going to work for every woman. By making the photo upload feature available on our website, we're advocating to help consumers purchase the right product.

If you ever have a question about any of Pelo Hair Los Angeles' hair extensions, please feel free to contact us.

How to curl hair extensions .

Here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles, we often are asked if it is ok to curl our hair extensions. Yes, in fact- it is always ok to curl human hair extensions (pending there isn't a special treatment) or straighten them. Here are some tips when styling your hair extensions.

Make sure you brush the hair and remove any tangles or knots.

Although not required, we recommend you spray a thermal heat protectant over the extensions and comb the product through.

Heat your curling iron on medium high heat.

Curl the hair how you would normally curl (or straighten) your own hair.

That's it! You're done.

If you have questions on certain products we are 'hair' to help. Please call us or reach out on Twitter.

Best Hair Detainglers for Hair Extensions.

Our hair is just like your hair. After all, our products are made from 100% ethically-sourced human hair. And, just like your hair, our hair extensions can tangle if they are tied with harsh closures or not properly cared for. Should you get a tangle in your beautiful Brazilian hair, or any of our other hair extension products, don't worry. We recommend using the following products to detangle our hair extensions.

#1. Qhemet Biologics Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee

This product sells for just under twenty dollars. It is made with Pure Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) Butter, which makes it an awesome product for your hair. Plus, it does not contain mineral oil, lanolin, silicones, parabens or artificial fragrances.

#2. Kinky Curly Knot Today

You can buy this product anywhere, especially at Target. It sells for under fifteen dollars and works wonders on curly hair.

#3. John Frieda Root Awakening Health Boosting Detangling Spray.

Just because this product says 'root' doesn't mean you have to use it that way. Spray on your hair extensions and comb it through. Your hair will look glossy and feel soft and bouncy. Great for all hair extensions products

Pelo Hair Los Angeles is also developing a few products to help you take great care of your hair extensions. Keep checking back for updates on our latest venture.

The Best Hair Sprays for Hair Extensions.

Yes, you can use hair spray on hair extensions- that is if they are human hair extensions. We here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles are in the phase of product development. However, until we get our product line on the market- here are some of our hair spray recommendations for hair extensions.

Aveda Controlforce Firm Hold Hair Spray. This product is amazing. It is light and dries quickly. It is also super soft and holds well. It really is the perfect hair spray. A natural corn derivative prevents flaking, and the rose, bergamot, and lavender scent is a plus.

Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray. This hair spray performs double duty. It holds hair well and it shines hair without making it look greasy or dirty. This hair spray is packed with Vitamin E, so you may have to wash your hair extensions more often- but the product is worth a try.

We also love Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Hairspray. This hair spray is perfect for people living down south and who also wear hair extensions. If you wear curly hair extensions then try this product for sure. It prevents curls from frizzing out and is still gentle on your locks.

If you have questions about a specific product that isn't on this list, please contact us via Twitter. We are always happy to help!
