Best Shampoos Ever

The last blog discussed the worst conditioners, as rated by consumers, on the market for hair extensions. Well, today I wanted to discuss the best and most moistening shampoos available. These are listed in an order presented by consumers across three major product review websites. I combined the top results to create this list.

1. BioSilk Volumizing Therapy. This shampoo is a paraben and sufate free formula, perfect for dyed extensions and virgin hair. It also contains UV blockers to protect the hair from fading or losing its luster.

2. Dove Cool Moisture. This shampoo is infused with cucumber, green tea, and Dove's patented Micromoisture Serum to nourish hair, replenish lost moisture, and leave hair soft without weighing it down under heavy moisturizers. I love it because it truly softens hair extensions that may have been over worn or over heated.

3. Redken Clear Moisture. This shampoo leaves all hair clean, light, airy, smooth, and shiny. Some products claim to moisturize hair, when essentially they put a lot of wax on hair to make it look healthy. This product doesn’t do this, leaving it looking clean and light day in and day out.

Do You Need A New Hairstyle?

We here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles take pride in selling the BEST and most ethically-sourced hair extensions. In fact, we have celebrity fans and our products are sold in Beverly Hills, California. Speaking of celebrities, we want to talk about the celebrity short hair trend right now. The ‘Miley’ Cyrus haircut seems to be hotter than ever. So, what happens when it is time to move on to something else? Do you deal with the grow out of the hair style or do you add extensions.

There is no right or wrong answer but hair extensions can be added to make your hair shoulder length, not just super long. Here are a few popular shoulder length hair trends for 2014:

First is the shag cut with bangs.

Because there are so many layers associated with this haircut, it is the perfect style to add in length and grow out the ‘Miley’. You can add chunky bang extensions, or simply grow out your own bangs comfortably with this look.

This chunky bob allows enough layers to add in hair extensions without an obvious statement.

You can gradually grow your hair out with this look, which also adds a younger appearance to any style.

Finally, there is the gradual A-line bob.

You may not be able to do an A-line when you start to grow out your hair. However, extensions only in the front can give way for the illusion of a true A-line bob.

One of the newest options is the ability to share your purchase using your social media account! Let me show you around the new website:

Our celebrity fans section is always updated showing where our products were featured, what celeb is Tweeting about us, who was visiting our flagship store, and much more. Make sure to check it out.

Finally, we have our new store below. As you can see all of our products are laid out by category.

New website coming this week

Our new website is almost here and we can’t wait. I wanted to improve our shopping experience and make the website more socially acceptable. That’s why I decided to keep our logo and branding but incorporate a new look.

Now, when you buy hair extensions from Pelo Hair Los Angeles, you can order the color, the length and the quantity in a single click, not multiple clicks like before. You can also share your purchase on Pinterest or Twitter!

We are still offering the same great, ethically-sourced hair extension products. You can always call us and talk to one of our team members before ordering the hair extensions to make sure you are purchasing the best products for your specific look. This doesn’t change.

Additionally, I decided to offer monthly specials, which means you can check back with the new website each and every month to see what is on sale and what is new.

Products We Recommend!

We received a question asking what are our top three selling products. Well, we don’t ever believe you should select a product simply because it sells well. You should pick a product that matches our hair’s texture, color and ethnicity when possible. However, to honor this question, we are listing our top three selling products below.

Curly Indian Hair has a texture from silky wave to tight curls. The natural color varies from light brown to black. The signature of Indian hair is its natural flowing appearance and the ends that tend to be wispy and uneven. Indian hair can be worn naturally or flat ironed.This hair is offered in: Machine Weft, I-tips, Skin Weft, and closures.

Hair Extentions 101 ; Ordering Online

Since the 2014 Academy Awards are almost here. There are two sub – categories of hair extensions; synthetic and human hair. Synthetic here does not look real and is never used by celebrities. It also does not last long. Unlike synthetic hair, human hair is often used by celebrities, flash a long time, and looks completely natural. Some people have questions about the ethics surrounding sourcing human hair extensions. We here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles only used ethically – sourced hair.

There are different kinds of extensions, different types of hair, different formats as to how the hair extensions are added to your own hair. Weaves, heat fusing, clamping with metal rods, and I – tips are some of the most popular methods.

You have to find the right texture and color in a hair extension product order for your hair to look its best to be able to seal the fact that you are wearing hair extensions. Luckily, our website offers and upload photo option that allows customers to upload not only a photo of themselves, but a photo of a celebrity or other picture with the look they are trying to achieve. Once you do this, our team of qualified beauty consultants – not salespeople – will call or email you back with different product suggestions and pricing. Ordering hair on our website is not a complicated process.

You can also submit your hair extension questions below and I will personally respond to each and every one of them.
