Summer of the Bob

2014’s Summer Season will be the season of the Bob. Now, you can always add in some Pelo Hair Los Angeles Extensions after summer, when Fall 2014 is going to be the season of waist length straight hair, but if you want to know what the trend for 2014 is – keep reading.

The 2014 Bob trend will feature three main styles of the Bob. The first is going to be the chin length sleek bob. This means lots of hair gel and super straight hair with no volume. Personally, this style isn’t for me but fashion is what it is.

The other Bob style will be the shoulder length Bob with a heavy bang. To achieve this look, you will have to blow-dry your hair to obtain a lot of volume or add in our extensions, which have to be cut, to get more volume. Yes, this summer’s Bobs will be extreme. Either you have a lot of volume or you have none. There will be no in-between.

Finally, the third Bob trend for summer 2014 will be red hair. Yes, deep and dark red hair will be the major trend for June, July or August 2014. So, be prepared to wash out the hombre blonde hair and trade it in for really garnet toned hair if you are going with the trends.

Now, these trends are just what they say they are- trends. If you don’t like a Bob haircut or red hair, don’t go this route. Originality with style is always in style.

Until next time,

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.
