2014 Summer Hair Color Trends

Pelo Hair Los Angeles offers amazing dyed products in addition to our virgin hair extensions. We have dyed Brazilian hair, dyed Malaysian hair, and tape hair offered in a variety of colors. Since the summer of 2014 is creeping up, and since it will be the year of multi-colored hair, I’ve decided to provide a few hair trend tips below! –Niki Motz, owner of Pelo Hair Los Angeles

Multi-Toned hair will be BIG

In the days of past, hair was either all one color (even if it was pink) or two-toned. Well, summer of 2014 is going to be the year of multi-toned. Mixed blondes and browns in various shades is the new thing. You can achieve this look by adding multiple tape hair products to your own locks. Or you can add one type of extension on top of your already two-toned dyed hair. The choices are endless. Here is a link to our tape hair extensions: http://www.pelo-hair.com/#!undetectable-tape-hair/c6mb

Gold Leaf hair is also going to be popular. What is Gold Leaf hair?

Think multi-colored hair meets a subtle ombre trend meets super curl! Yes, shades of dark blonde, light brown mixed together with big time curls and a lot of volume. This trend is HUGE in London right now and making its way to the USA in the Summer of 2014. For this look we recommend our Brazilian dyed hair. Here’s the link: http://www.pelo-hair.com/#!dyed-brazilian-hair-/c1ce7

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.

The 2014 Oscars are almost here!

On March 2nd, our country will celebrate some our finest acting talent. There are a lot of great nominations out there. But, what we here at Pelo Hair are most excited about, are the upcoming hair styles. We had so much fun participating in the 2013 Emmy Gifting Suite for GPK that we can’t wait to watch the Academy Awards this year.

Here are our top 3 hair trend predictions for Oscar Hairstyles this year;

1. Old Hollywood Waves in looser fashion. Long hair is making a comeback. While everyone did the chop thing (Jennifer Lawrence, Miley Cyrus, etc.) , hair extensions are being placed in heads across the Hollywood Hills these next two weeks to bring back old glamour with a modern twist.

2. Black is Back. Yes, just like the short hair styles noted above, blonde is almost over and everyone will be moving in a much darker direction. Black is going to be the new blonde. We might not see it at this year’s Oscars- but look for it in the next two months.

3. Side swept bangs. Harsh bangs will not be coming back anytime soon. In fact, bangs may be on their way out again. While in transition, the side swept bang is going to be big.

In case you haven’t noticed, we have a new buying experience on our website, www.Pelo-Hair.com. Simply pick your color and then review the products suggested.

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

Dry Your Hair Extensions Quicker

One questions I am asked often is about the time it takes for extensions to dry after they're washed. Well, we suggest hanging your extensions over a towel and letting them air dry naturally. While this method is ideal, it isn't always practical, which is why we here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles are providing a few tips to quickly drying hair extensions when the towel method isn't an option.

1. Brush the hair with a wide comb when wet to remove most of the moisture. Do not use a brush.

2. Blot the hair with a towel. Repeat ten times in a row.

3. Blow dry the hair with a cool blow dryer, not hot.

TIP: Garnier Fructis has a great line of "blow dry protector" products. While the above method should only be used in a hair-emergency, it is a great idea to keep a Garnier Fructis product on hand. We also have a private label product for detangling hair that is great for after a regular air dry process or blow dry method on hair extensions.

So, keep sending in those great hair extension questions. They really are great.

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.

Pelo Hair Los Angeles will be presenting hair extension gifts at the GBK gift bag event for the 65th Primetime Emmy® Awards.

Pelo Hair Los Angeles, based in Thousand Oaks, California, is proud to announce its participation with the GBK gift bag event for the 65th Primetime Emmy® Awards.

Fox, Alex Baldwin, Rihanna and more. “Our flagship store in Thousand Oaks has already had celebrities stop by to pick up hair extensions. Anyone who follows Pelo Hair on Twitter already knows this. Our online store has tons of features to help people accurately purchase hair extensions online. Now, this Emmy event will allow celebrities to have direct access to the Pelo Hair Los Angeles brand and form a one-on-one relationship with myself and their stylists,” finished Motz.

Dyeing for the 2013 Emmy Hair Trends

Yes, we are going to the Emmys! Pelo Hair Los Angeles is Emmy bound. We are participating in a gift bag event and will be posting photos of celebrities with out hair. How cool is this? In the meantime, we decided to make some hair dye predictions for the big event now. Photos below. Call or email us on how to get these looks for your own Emmy party!

Pale, pale blonde. Yes, pale blonde is back. Do this right, however. You don't want platinum or golden locks. Many celebrities are expected to lighten their dark blonde or red roots to a beach pale blonde hue.

If you want to stay red, go with a deep red that is closer to a brown hue than a straight up funky caramel apple or orange red hue. Look for ginger celebs to darken, not depart, from their red hair.

Brown hair is going to have golden accents this year. Naturally dark brunettes will have to lighten their hair to a more mellow and lighter shade.

Keep checking back here for more exclusive hair style information and trends for this year's Emmy Awards!

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.

Purchasing Hair Chalk, Why & How.

We here at Pelo Hair Los Anegeles sell the world's best human hair extension, which are always ethically sourced. We also sell trending products, such as hair chalk, to keep up with client demand. So, what is hair chalk and how does it work?

Hair chalk adds temporary vivid color to your existing hair. It can be worn on any type and/or color of hair. You can add a couple daring streaks of pink, blue, green or purple. Celebrity Lauren Conrad posted a photo on her blog with tie-dyed (multi-colored) hair as a result of hair chalk the product has been all the rage. Every beauty magazine is writing about the product, including a nice piece on Yahoo. Read it here: http://news.yahoo.com/chalk-coloring-hair-pastels-trend-140938270.html

Hair chalk works because the temporary product is composed of highly concentrated color. You can buy the product from us. Make sure to have a spray bottle filled with clean water on hand. You will also need a flat iron or a curling iron. Make sure to have rubber gloves on before touching the product as it can stain skin. The same goes for fabric so apply the product when wearing an old shirt.

The steps:

A. Spray a 1-inch section of hair with water. You don't need to soak the entire strand, just go as high up as you want the color to be.

B. Color on your hair with one of the hair chalk pastels.

C. Wait for your hair to air dry. Depending on your hair, this could take up to a half of an hour.

D. Using the curling or flat iron, go over each colored strand. This sets the colors in your hair, so it will last longer. Then brush and style however you normally would!

Hair chalk can stay in your hair for up to a week. Really, the amount of time depends on how processed (or not processed) your hair is. Bleached out hair tends not to hold the color very long where virgin hair seems to grab the chalk colors longer.

If you want to purchase our hair chalk, or still have questions, please contact us at: www.Pelo-Hair.com

Happy Coloring!
