Love layered hair?

Layered, feathered hair hasn’t gone away. Many women love the texture and fullness these types of hairstyles provide versus straight, drab long hair. One of the many benefits associated with this hairstyle is the ability to add in and take out hair extensions.

Weft hair extensions can make layered hair with extensions look sleek and smooth, not choppy or obvious. In fact, the layer blending wefts are sealed together with glue for a seamless finish. They also have two clips on either side to attach to your hair.

Using a hot iron to help blend your weft hair extensions creates a smooth, straight line. Even better, if you angle the weft extensions when you apply them to your scalp / hair, they will look as if your layers are gone or blend naturally into one another.

Why A Woman's Hair Will Thin

I created Pelo Hair Los Angeles to provide women with beautiful and real hair options. Some women use our products to add length to their hair. Other women use our products to add color or volume to their hair. More and more women, however, are starting to use our tape hair products to help conceal thinning hair. While I'm the process of developing a signature product for these women, we still sell the tape hair at our flagship store or via phone orders (sorry, this hair isn't online as of yet). You can read more about the different hair options here: http://www.pelo-hair.com/

But why does hair thin in the first place?

A couple of reasons are behind a woman's thinning hair. First, and more common, are medical reasons. Medication, illness, infection, or chemicals all have the potential to stop hair from being formed properly. Most people lose anywhere from 50 to 100 strands of hair each day, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. If you see more hair than usual on your brush or pillow, it can be a sign that something medically is going on- especially if you're under 50 years old. Most dermatologists suggest women, concerned with hair loss or thinning hair, allow their doctors to run preliminary blood work to make sure the thyroid gland or an autoimmune disease isn’t the culprit behind a loss or hair.

Alopecia could also be a cause. This is a hereditary condition that affects about 30 million American women, according to the America Academy of Dermatology, and is the most common kind of hair loss for women of any age. General hair abuse is quite common, too. Braids that are too tight, dying one's hair too often, and the overuse of heat products and tools all will cause hair to fallout without a medical or hereditary cause.

Get to the root of the problem today! If you're experiencing hair loss / hair thinning, call your doctor. Even if you believe it is caused by hair abuse, call your doctor. It is better to be safe than sorry. If it is a hormone issue or an autoimmune issue knowing about sooner verses later is always better.

Summer Wedding Hair - Hot Trends for 2013.

June and July weddings are on the rise for 2013. Wedding planners are stating that more and more women are choosing to get married in the summer, where years past it was the spring. Another trend that is emerging is long bridal hair. Years past women would request fancy or simple up dos. Either simple or intricate, a bride's hair has been traditionally off of her shoulders in years past. 2013 is going to be different. Women are requesting long, simple hair to mirror short simple gowns.

At Pelo Hair Los Angeles our owner Niki Motz as noticed an increase in bridal orders. "We provide free phone consultations to everyone, including brides. This helps women select the right hair for their current or desired look," said Motz. Plus, our company offers layaway.

We source bridal hair from temples in India. We dub our Indian hair as "bridal hair" because of its wavy and silky texture. The hair can be worn natural, or you can flat iron or curl it. It is perfect worn as long flowing locks, especially on one's wedding day. You can view our Indian hair by clicking here: http://www.pelo-hair.com/#!indian-hair-/c1ycn

Below are some sample stock photos of the 2013 trend-to-be for long, summer wedding hair. Please contact us, or follow us on Twitter, with any questions.

The Oscars 2013

The Oscars 2013 was horrible when it came to great hair. I understand it was windy, but c'mon- it is the OSCARS! The winner for best hair and most beautiful has to be Jessica Chastain. Her hair was flowing and wasn't bothered by the wind. Now, her length may have had some extra help with natural extensions, such as these (click here), but that doesn't mean it wasn't any less extraordinary!

Our Brazilian Hair product line is perfect for mirroring Jessica Chastain's look. Why? It long, always looks healthy and it is easy to take care of!

When people do buy Brazilian hair, the #1 question is how to wash it. Well, below are Pelo Hair Los Angeles' tips!

Make sure hair is completely combed through and detangled before washing.

Wash with cool to warm water. Excessing heat will lead harm the hair in the lon run.

Make sure hair is being washed in ONE direction (from scalp to ends) and avoid circular motions! This can lead to tangling.

Always use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

When conditioner is on the hair, leave it on for approximately five minute, then comb through the hair starting from the ends. Rinse thoroughly.

Squeeze out excess water and blow dry gently. Do not towel rub or twist the hair to dry.

Below are just a few photos of the great Oscar looks you can obtain through natural hair extensions!
