EuroAsian Hair Bundles

We have an exciting new product to introduce to you. It is called EuroAsian hair and we sell it by the bundle. With ends thicker than Indian hair, this luxurious hair extension product is only available in natural colors. It is an exotic blend of high-end European and Asian hair. We love because it lasts long and looks beautiful. Our clients love it because it is super luxurious and sold as bundled hair.

Asian hair tends to have more of a darker undertone with a straight appearance. European hair is thick and has more of a wave. This blend offers our customers the best of both worlds and in the primary natural colors.

Bundles sell from 16 inches long to 30 inches long and pricing starts at $239.99 per bundle. You have the opportunity to experience this hair almost before anyone else in the country, as it hasn’t become a trend yet and is only available to exclusive pillars within the hair community.

This product can only be ordered via our website. Because it is so exclusive, we can’t offer hair dresser discounts at this time. Thank you

Thanksgiving Hair

We're back, straight from the Latin GRAMMY gifting suite. So, what are you doing for holiday hair this Thursday? We have some suggestions! Keep reading....

Try adding length. If you have family members coming into town that you haven't seen in a while, adding length to your hair will make your appearance pop. We have many different types of top-quality hair extensions, all of which can be applied in a variety of different methods. You can talk with your stylist today, order tonight and have the hair on by Thursday. How great is this?

Adding color using hair extensions is amazing, too. It requires no commitment and you can add it (or remove it) at any time. Dark brown highlights or bleached blonde thick streaks are making a comeback this holiday season.

Homemade Hair Care by Pelo Hair Los Angeles

Homemade Hair Care- DIY

We here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles sell our own signature line of hair care products. Both are affordable and designed to maintain the human hair extensions we sell. You can learn more about these products by clicking here: http://www.pelo-hair.com/#!hair-care-products/cdef However, there are a few great recipes online if you are looking to save money, use natural ingredients, and/or impress your friends.

This is one of our staff's favorite homemade hair care products- Extension Hair Mousse!

Here's how to make it:

Start by grabbing a bowl and a whisk from the kitchen.

Next, you will need two eggs.

Crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the egg whites.

Whisk the egg whites in the bowl until they form stiff peaks.

Rub the egg whites into your hair, as much or as little as needed, and place the rest in the fridge. This will keep for 48 hours.

Allow your hair to dry and then style as normal. You don't want to heat dry your hair, allow it to do so naturally.

That's it. This trick is quick, safe, chemical-free and super cheap.

What to Look for When Purchasing Brazilian Hair.

Brazilian hair is one of the best types of hair available when buying human hair extensions. So, what should you look for when purchasing Brazilian hair?

The hair has to be in its natural state or its not virgin. I've seen some women with obviously dyed hair extensions say they paid good money for virgin hair. Virgin hair means the hair was never treated with any chemicals. Brazilian hair may contain some natural highlights but obvious blonde on brown frosting is a huge red flag.

The hair needs to look healthy and shiny. Brazilian Virgin hair is popular because of its reputation as shiny, sleek and healthy appearance. Flat, dry, or damaged looking extensions should never be considered to be a good purchase option.

Buying hair out of a van or from a friend is a no-no. This should be obvious but there seems to be public perception that Virgin hair is either hard to get or expensive to get. While there are some companies that overly charge because Brazilian Virgin hair is in demand, the product itself is available in many stores, like Pelo Hair Los Angeles' Thousand Oaks store. We ship out samples for under twenty dollars- as would any solid company. Buying hair from the back of a van or a friend may be cheaper but there is no real way of knowing what you are buying.

When considering buying Brazilian Virgin hair, a woman needs to look for a natural taper at the end of the hair extension. There is a difference between Virgin and Common Brazilian hair too. Common Brazilian means the hair was collected from a few sources. Although the quality is the same, the hair has been processed to correct cuticle issues from the collection and to match a curl, wave or sleek appearance- making it far from Virgin hair.

You can use platinum blonde on black hair or bright pink on blonde hair. Whatever color you may chose, adding a lot of bold chunks will create the contrast needed to develop a dramatic look.
