Hair Extensions – The Long And The Short Of It
Article by Lucy Bartlett
Our hair often reflects the state of our health. Healthy, long and silky hair can radiate fitness, youth and beauty.
To make our dream of long and beautiful hair come true, try the very popular instant hair extensions. To make hair grow long, it will take at least five to six years since hair grows at a very slow rate of 1 centimeter per month. You can get your hair extended to 21 inches just in few hours. You can use either synthetic hair or real human hair for hair extensions. Human hair extensions look more natural than the synthetic hair extensions. Synthetic hair cannot be exposed to hair driers or blowers, which is one of the drawbacks in using them. Synthetic hair is cheaper than human hair extensions. The Price of human hair extensions depends upon the style, length and quality. The uncolored and untreated hair extensions are often the most durable.
Tape-on hair extensions and clip on hair extensions are very easy to apply in the comfort of your own home. Adding length, volume, fullness or highlights are also very easy. These undetectable hair extensions can be taken in or out in few minutes. Without any chemical processing or damage to the hair, highlights can be added personally and save money and time too. There are a lot of different varieties and designs of clip-on or tape-on hair extensions available for selection.
The first and foremost choice of many is a hundred percent human hair extensions, which comes in lengths of 18 inches and 22 inches and in ten different colors. The two unique designs are body wave or silky straight. You can wear the body wave either straight or curled. It feels very soft to the touch and adds fullness. It can be used in long or short hair. Silky straight hair extensions remain straight and soft to the touch. It also holds a slight curl. It should be added on long hair only.
Braids are a comparatively cheap and easy way to extend the hair. It is one of easiest “do it yourself” styles if you have packets of synthetic hair, time and strong arms. If you have a friend to help you with the braids in the back, it will be easier still. If natural hair is around 3 inches long, then adding braids to it is easier. Do not waste your money by using expensive monofibre synthetic hair. Around six to 9 bags of synthetic hair is needed to do a full head of braids.

Besides the practicality of the product, human hair extensions are a recent hot topic among those interested in new beauty products. Increased popularity and interest in hair extensions have extended into ads in magazines and newspapers. Long voluminous hair has made its comeback again. But what are you supposed to do if you donâ??t have long hair? Even if you let it grow, it takes a fair amount of time until it grows to the desired length and style. Extensions provide instant hair length and style change.
Human hair grows about ?â??â?? per month. This is certainly less than instant. But if you have your hair at ear level, a simple mathematic operation will show you that it would take you almost two years to wait for that â??hair cascading down your backâ?? look. By the time a person actually achieves this length through natural hair growth, the style could be outdated.
]]>
What to do then? The solution is simple: human hair extensions are perfect. Easy to apply, with a wide and varied gamma of choices of length, color, size, shape, texture, etc., human hair extensions will expand your hair styling horizons. Now you wonâ??t have to limit yourself to just adding length to your hair. The human hair extensions and the clip in extensions offered online are a handy and simple solution to fine hair and they even add a little â??spiceâ? to curly, thick or wavy hair in any color and style.
But what are â??de factoâ? clip in extensions and how are they attached? These extensions are perfect if you want to instantly turn your hair into beautiful flowing locks. Thereâ??s also no commitment to the look since these extensions can be removed at the end of the day. The clip in extensions are perfect if you want to go to a party, to a date with a special partner or if you just want to look different even if for only few hours. The advantage, as well as the main difference between human hair extensions and clip in extensions â?? generally speaking â?? is that the last ones are much cheaper than salon-made permanent hair extension and that they donâ??t damage your hair in any way.
Online you can find quality hair extensions made out of several strands of hair, each carefully attached individually. The procedure of applying extensions is quite simple: each strand is attached to your own hair with a clip, so you can actually do it yourself, at home if you donâ??t feel like having it done at a hair salon. In time, you will see that with a little bit of practice, applying extensions get easier and easier and removing them is just as simple.
Human hair extensions and clip in extensions have many advantages, but their main benefit is that if you want to create an instant long hair style instantly, they are the perfect solution for you. We would like you to visit our website and discover the beauty of clip in extensions!
Do You Shed Or Lose More Hair If Your Hair Is Long?
I recently heard from a young woman who had been shedding a high amount of hair for about eight months. She knew that this wasn’t normal and she knew that her hair was thinning out at alarming levels. However, despite her best efforts, she still couldn’t determine if her hair loss was due to issues like telogen effluvium (TE,) androgenic alopecia (AGA,) alopecia areata (AA) or other autoimmune conditions, medications or illnesses, or other issues like scalp problems or allergies.
Since she couldn’t yet determine why she was losing hair, she was having trouble coming up with a regimen that actually helped or worked. But, she was looking for anything which would help her to lose less hair on a daily basis. One idea that she came up with was cutting her long hair. She asked me, in part: “does more hair fall out when it’s longer? Would cutting my hair short mean that I would lose or shed less hair?” I will discuss this more in the following article.
Your Hair’s Weight Or Length Isn’t Usually One Of The Reasons It’s Falling Out: I asked the young woman if there was ever a time when she had long hair that wasn’t shedding or falling. She told me that she usually wears her hair long because she much prefers it. She didn’t think short hair was flattering on her and she liked putting her hair up. Even with this longer hair for most of her life, she had never had any hair loss issues before eight months ago when the shedding started.
As you probably already know, there are many potential reasons for hair loss. But your hair being too heavy is not usually one of them. (Think about it. Men with very short hair often still have thinning.) Hair usually falls out because of a hormonal or medical issue or because the follicle itself has gone into the resting phase. Now, there is a condition called traction alopecia where hair can be pulled out when it is pulled very tightly for long periods of time. This sometimes happens when hair is put in corn rows or someone wears a weave pulled tightly for a long period of time without taking it out. The constant pulling can pull the hair out. However hair being pulled out is different than it being shed out or it falling out.
]]>
And, if you can remember back to a time before your hair loss started, you can probably remember a time when you brushed or styled your hair quite vigorously and never noticed too much coming out as the result. In other words, people who have normal hair and normal scalps where the follicles are healthy and getting adequately nourished don’t have to worry about manipulating their hair. They wash it, comb it, twist it, style it and put it up (and not too carefully either) without concern.
It’s usually only when your hair comes out for another reason do you begin to question things like styling or cleaning as a contributing factor.
Should You Cut Your Long Hair Short When It’s Shedding?: This is an individual choice. And, there’s no question that people have told me that they have noticed less hair fall when their hair was short. I don’t doubt this. Short strands aren’t as noticeable on your clothing or on your floor as long strands are. And, just a handful of long strands can look like a huge wad in your drain when the same amount of short hairs would likely go right down that same drain so that you would never see it.
In other words, short strands are fair less noticeable when they fall. Also, most people have to wash their hair more when it’s short which can bring about at least a little bit of improvement if you have an androgenic issue. So, there are many reasons that folks can perceive that they are losing less shorter strands.
But at the end of the day, if you have a hair loss issue, you are likely still going to have it regardless of the length of your hair. And, any hair that was pulled out because of that same strand’s weight was in the resting phase anyway and was going to eventually come out.
So sure, having short hair may make this easier to manage. Some people find it to be a relief. But, some people find it makes their hair look more thin. And unfortunately, I honestly don’t believe that having short hair spares you any shedding or loss. So, cutting your hair should come down to which type of styles you prefer rather than attempting to stop the loss.
How do I know all of this? Because I lived it. I absolutely knew that my alarming shedding was not normal for me. In my quest to end my hair loss, I looked at my triggers, my iron, my thyroid, my adrenals, my hormones, and my scalp’s health in my quest to end the nightmare. It was a long, hard, frustrating journey which all but wrecked my self esteem but I finally found something that helped quite a bit.

Create Instant Beautiful Long Hairstyles with Hair Extensions
Create Instant Beautiful Long Hairstyles with Hair Extensions
Article by Natalie Aranda
The state of our hair very often reflects the state of our health. Long, silky, healthy hair can radiate beauty, fitness and youth!
Hair extensions are becoming an increasingly popular way of instantly getting that long beautiful hair some of us can only dream of! Growing your hair long takes 5-6 years at an average of 1 cm per month! Hair extensions can give you around 21 inches of thick hair in just a few hours!
There are two main types of hair extensions. Hair extensions can be made out of synthetic fibers and are referred to as synthetic hair extensions or out of human hair and referred to as human hair extensions. Human hair extensions tend to be the preferred kind of hair extensions because they look and feel a lot more natural then the synthetic kind. Also, heat cannot be applied to most synthetic fibers causing some inconvenience if a person needs to use some hair appliances. The downside of human hair extensions is that are usually much more expensive then the synthetic ones! Notwithstanding, there is no fixed price for human hair extensions because this differs according to the quality, style and length of extensions required. Hair extensions that are untreated and uncolored usually cost more because they are more durable!
A change of hairstyle is often enough to make you look more sophisticated, younger or simply different. Hair weaves are a good idea for those who fancy some braids, dreadlocks or simply a fuller head of hair and a different look!Hair weaves are another form of hair extensions and can also be made out of synthetic or natural hair. There are three types of hair weaves:
(1)Bonded Hair Weave – This is the least durable kind of hair weave and only lasts 1 month until it would need to be replaced. This kind of hair weave gets glued to the scalp
(2)Braided Hair Weave – This is a 2 step procedure. The natural hair is braided along the center of the scalp (under the hair) and then the hair weave gets sown into the braids. This type of hair weave normally lasts around 2 months.
(3)Fusion Hair Weave – This is the most lasting kind of hair weave, since it needs be changed every 3 months. This procedure involves waxing the hair weave to the natural hair.
Both hair extensions and hair weaves require considerable maintenance. The hair need to be treated with gentle respect and cleaned and moisturized daily with a good conditioner. Remember, that while natural hair gets the necessary oils and moisture from your scalp, hair extensions and hair weaves don’t! Also, depending on the style and procedure for your hair extensions/hair weaves, you might also have to visit the hairdresser every 6 weeks to fix your hair extensions due to your natural hair re growth.
Whichever kind of hair extension you choose, always consult your hair specialist for advice, and pick the safest procedure. Finally, enjoy your beautiful hair!

How To Grow Long African American Hair Fast Healthy And Strong
How To Grow Long African American Hair Fast Healthy And Strong
How to grow long African American hair can be a mystery, but the first thing you have to know about African American hair if you want to grow it, is that it can be the most drying and unforgiving hair there is. I’m sure you’ve experience this every-time you see your hair in your combs and brushes.
You have probably decided that you will never ever have any long hair in your life time. Well if you can agree that your hair continues to break no matter what you are doing, you then can agree that you must be doing something wrong. Now that that is out of the way, let us begin. If you can see your microscopic hair image you will see that you have six layers to your hair-shaft. Every level up to your medulla has to be moisturized.
With the quick and irregular conditioning treatments most receive, very few can say that their hair has achieved the perfect moisture level to maintain length. The closest I have ever seen African American hair achieve this level of moisturizing was when the Geri Curl was introduced. The hair was sprayed and massaged with moisturizers everyday and night.
Everyone made sure the hair stayed properly moist by wearing the dreaded plastic bag on their down time. Everyone with the curl had hair growing like they’ve never seen it before! Now that we’ve walked down memory lane we can proceed with some very important information about growing your African American hair.
African American hair, like all hair continues to grow everyday. It may grow slower but it still grows. This is why we receive chemical touch-ups and re-braiding. We just lose the oldest hair on our heads which is at the end of our hair shaft to dryness and abuse. The reason people with dreadlocks have long hair and is because the ends are dreaded and will not fall out.
Our hair grows about a half an inch or more every month. However the extreme dryness and breakage will cause the dreadlocks to become weak and break. The dreadlocks are repaired but the problem is still there, extreme dryness from neglect.
10 Tips Of How To Grow Long African American Hair Fast
]]>
Keep ends clipped every 6-8 weeks. This will remove damaged ends and prevent them from traveling up the hair-shaft with causes more hair breakage. Groomed ends allow your hair to look healthier,fuller and grow more even.
Apply moisturizer to scalp, hair and ends at least every 2 days. Too much will not allow the hair and scalp to breath. Your hair follicles can not produce more hair if it is clogged.
Massage your scalp every night to stimulate your blood vessels and to help produce your natural sebum (oils) in your scalp.
Wear protective styles that don’t allow your hair ends to be exposed to harsh fabrics and element such as car seats, extreme heat, extreme cold, or wool. If your hair maintains this type of contact it will dry out and break.
Deep condition your hair only with warm dryer setting for only 20 minutes or as directed by manufacturer. Dryer time is how the moisture reaches the inner layers of your hair. Very important!
High dryer heat with plastic caps will cause products to be damaging to your hair and later begin to break because of dissolved natural moisture in your hair. Your hair will then dry and break because of this damage.
Instant conditioner abuse is one of the most damaging things you can do to your hair. This condition will dissolve your hair and cause it to be lifeless , unable to hold a curl, and breakage!
Wear styles that protect your ends such as braiding, french rolls,or wigs with growing out hair.
Place satin cap on hair at night an over your car head rest. At night and while driving is when many lose natural moisture from hair. People call the back of their hair their sensitive spot. This is actually their abused spot!
Always moisturize hair when braided. Especially the ends. There are plenty of moisturizers that come in a spray bottle and in a cream that can run over the hair and ends of your braids. Hydrated and moisturised hair-ends and edges will not break.
Be consistant!
What You Should Know To Grow Your African American Hair Long
Moisturizing your hair and oiling your scalp and hair is not the same thing. Your hair can be dehydrated which means it needs moisture to replenish it. A water based deep conditioning treatment will help restore the moisture your hair needs to be healthy. There are so many oil based products the make your hair feel wonderful. However without the proper moisture balance you can not reach your hair length goals.
If you are unable to get under a hooded dryer you can place a hot wet towel around your plastic cap covered conditioning treatment, then wrap with a large dry towel to hold in the heat. Condition your hair every week for a month if your hair is especially damaged. Then maintain your conditioning and shampooing every other week to allow your natural oils to naturally replenish.
Alternate your oil treatments with moisturizing/protein treatments. If your hair is weak and fragile you can receive a protein moisturizing blended treatment every two weeks. Shampoo with appropriate shampoos for your hair situation. Use deep cleansing shampoos once a month to remove product buildup and don’t over shampoo your hair. Twice is enough, maybe 3 times if you perspire a lot or work in dusty places.
Of course eating healthy will help your hair from the inside out. You can begin by taking in more moisture by drinking water, eating more fruits and vegetable. This will hydrate your body and hair. Taking hair vitamins with plenty of water daily will help you grow healthy hair if you don’t see yourself eating as healthy as you should.
Just knowing what you know now will allow you to begin to grow your longer then usual. If you can just improve the way you condition you will be very proud of yourself in a matter of months. Just imagine how you will love your hair at the end of the year? Don’t worry I know you have more questions. Just go to http://hairbydarlene.blogspot.com for more hair care information for attaining healthier longer hair.
How to Grow Hair Faster – Ten Long Hair Secrets
Want to be let in on long hair secrets?
Do you want to know how to grow hair faster? Do you dream of having long, flowing, beautiful hair like Rapunzel?
Well, you can stop dreaming and start growing, because it is not that hard to do.
The hardest part is having the patience to wait, because we’re sure you’ve already been told that human hair can only grow so fast. Nothing is going to make your hair grow long overnight, but there are definitely some things you can do to help speed up the process. Here, you’ll learn the long hair secrets, which start with the following fifteen key steps to growing your hair long.
1. The first step towards growing your hair is to stop damaging it. Damage can come from heat styling (flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers are a long hair don’t), brushing hair when wet, brushing or combing too roughly by ripping through knots and tangles, shampooing every day (yes, really), using accessories like metal barrettes, rubber bands, or claw clips to put your hair up, or putting your hair into tight hairstyles. If you want to grow long, healthy hair, you need to give these things up. If you absolutely must blow dry your hair, do so on the lowest setting and air dry your hair as much as possible before finishing it up with the blow dryer.
2. If your hair is already damaged, your best bet is to get a fresh start by cutting the damage off. At the very least, start your long hair growth journey by getting a trim, but if your hair has split ends, is dry, frizzy, or fragile, cut off as much as you need to to get to healthy ends. This is the hard part, but well worth it to start off with healthy hair ready to grow than it is to fight a losing battle of trying to save damaged hair. You’ll likely lose length to breakage along the way anyway when dealing with damaged hair, so you might as well just start fresh. Remember, the key to this journey is patience. In this site I will share some secrets to grow hair fast, and I’ll share even more if you subscribe to have the long hair secrets sent straight to your email, but no matter what you do, growing long hair is not an overnight thing.
3. If you are serious about growing long hair, you need to embrace your hair as it naturally is (your natural hair type). This means giving up chemicals to change the color or texture of your hair. While there are exceptions, most people will find that they need to decide between using chemicals and having long hair, because most hair types are not strong enough to withstand the repeated damage and still grow to any significant length. So to reiterate point number one – stop damaging your hair. This means no perm or straightening solution and no peroxide or ammonia. You can consider altering your hair color using no-peroxide no-ammonia color, BAQ (body art quality) henna (which actually improves the condition of hair), or other natural ways (honey lightening, etc.). And if you absolutely must use chemical color, you may be able to protect it from peroxide damage by liberally applying coconut oil before you color (coconut oil is definitely one of the long hair secrets!).
]]>
4. Protect your hair from chlorine and saltwater. Give your hair a good soaking in fresh water before you swim, and if possible use a deep conditioner and then stick it up under a swim cap. If you can, wash your hair with a chelating shampoo as quickly as you can afterwards, and at the very least, give it a good rinse in fresh water after exposure and wash as soon as possible. Condition afterwards.
5. Protect your hair from the sun and wind. If you are going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time, either use a UV protectant, or cover your hair. Or consider using a deep conditioner taking advantage of the heat to help it soak in. If you are going to be in windy conditions, braid or bun your hair, or wrap it up in a scarf or under a hat. Nothing causes split ends and tangles like wind does!
6. Treat your body right from the inside out. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and get enough rest. Make sure you are getting enough protein, healthy fats, and water each day. Your body needs to be healthy and nourished and performing at its best in order for it to put energy towards growing hair. Give yourself every advantage you can, by taking care of yourself. Consider using supplements to aid in your overall health and your hair growth. (Some of my hair care secrets exposed when you sign up to receive them are very effective supplements that can really help you to grow hair faster.)
7. Increase blood flow! Exercise, which increases your blood flow, is known to increase the rate at which your hair grows. Get your blood pumping, get those endorphins flowing, and get growing. Regular scalp massage will increase the blood flow and stimulate the follicles. In fact, if this is the only long hair secret you choose to follow, and you do it regularly, you will notice a boost in your hair growth. The very first thing I’ll send you is my detailed tutorial on how to do a proper scalp massage that WILL help you grow your hair faster.
8. Baby your hair, especially when wet. Do not brush your hair when it is wet, don’t rub your hair dry with a towel, instead gently pat it and let it air dry before combing and untangling. Never rip your brush through your hair or pull your brush or comb through a knot or snarl. Always gently detangle, using hair safe combs and brushes, and start from the ends and work your way up. Treat your hair like precious, fine, antique lace. Remember, as your hair grows longer it is getting older and older and has been through a lot. Even hair that has been treated gently for many years has been through many, many washes, brushings, tangles, etc. – so be gentle!
9. Stretch the time between washings. Yes, really. The majority of people with enviable long hair do not wash their hair daily. Many don’t use shampoo at all – instead they may CO (use conditioner only). Try washing your hair every other day, instead of every day, and as time goes on and your hair adjusts to that, see if you can stretch it out even further. Also, consider using the CWC method – which means condition, wash, condition. Use shampoo only on your scalp area, and diluting it is helpful. Let the suds wash down over your length as you rinse, that’s all the “washing” it needs. As your ends get older, they get drier, and do not need the harsh washing agents in shampoo to get them clean. A good rinse is all they need. Don’t pile your hair on your head when you wash, either.
10. Don’t use hot water on your hair. Wash in as cool water as you can comfortably handle, and rinse in as cold as you can stand. This will allow the cuticle to smooth out and lie flat – giving you shinier and more manageable hair. This will not only help you grow hair faster, but is also better for your skin as well.

Fake It – Get Long Hair Now With Clip In Hair Extensions
Ok, so maybe you regret getting the short haircut you thought would look great on you or perhaps you just want to add some volume, length or fullness to your hair. Either way, clip in hair extensions are a quick and simple way to achieve any of these!
Clip In Hair Extensions are fast and easy to apply and are available in a large selection of shades and lengths, making them perfect for anyone to use. When it comes to choosing hair extensions there are a few things you want to consider before purchasing.
Length – this will depend on how long you want your hair to appear as well as how long your hair already is. Clip in hair extensions can be cut and shaped so if you have very short hair you may want to choose a few lengths to give a layered appearance so that your extensions blend well and look more natural.
Color – choosing the color of hair extensions depends on what look you are trying to achieve. If you want a natural look then choosing a shade that matches your hair is best. If you want to add highlights or low lights you would then choose a shade darker or lighter to do so. Clip in Hair Extension highlights are also great for adding highlights or low-lights or if you like, a bold color such as pink or green.
Hair Texture – clip in hair extensions are usually found in 3 basic textures, straight, curly and wavy. The texture does not have to match your own hair texture but of course if it does the overall appearance will look more natural. Also, keep in mind that human hair extensions can be styled with hair tools such as a curling iron or flat iron making them very versatile.
Hair Type – clip in hair extensions are available in synthetic or human hair. Of course, human hair extensions are the most natural looking and feeling as well as human hair extensions can be washed, colored and styled just as your own natural hair. Remy hair extensions are also human hair, however Remy Hair Extensions are a little more costly as with this type of hair extensions every piece of hair on the extension is placed so that every piece of hair within the set is directionally the same from root to tip meaning less frizz and smoother hair.
Erin Kelly has been writing articles on hairstyling and hairstyling
tools for over 5 years. She has personally reviewed many different
brands of hair extensions and highly recommends choosing clip in hair extensions from a
website like Hair Shears Pro, which carries all the top brands of Clip in Hair Extensions.
In the Hair Replacement Industry, “Sincerity Goes a Long Way”
Introducing White Cliffs Hair Studio, the best thing to come from England since â?¦ the Beatles?
His face was the picture of earnestness and sincerity as we spoke in the parking lot of the nondescript studio located just outside of Indianapolis. â??This company has given me back my life. It has delivered me from years of feeling hopeless.â?
The young man Iâ??m speaking to is Jeremy, a 22-year-old graduate student at the University of Indiana and the company heâ??s speaking of isnâ??t a corporate headhunter or a shrink or an employer. Heâ??s speaking of an Indianapolis hair replacement studio that, according to Jeremy, â??has given me back the confidence to enjoy my life without looking ten years older than I am.â?
Jeremy is a handsome man with a baby face and a serious manner. He has already explained that heâ??s â??baldâ? but upon close inspection, there is no proof whatsoever that he has lost one single strand of hair from his head. The sun is shining and I can see the color and natural highlights as well as the density and what appears to be hair growing â?? emerging â?? from his scalp.
â??Touch it,â? challenges Jeremy. â??Run your fingers through my hair.â?
Iâ??m shy to do this in a parking lot, but I do. I explore his head with my fingertips searching for some sign that this kid is putting me on. I feel no creases or bumps aside from the normal features of his scalp and head. I examine his hairline. I see hairs growing everywhere. I look closer.
â??All of the hair on top isnâ??t mine,â? he says.  â??The hair on the sides and back is mine.â? Then the talk turns serious. â??When I began losing my hair at age 17, I wanted to die. I didnâ??t believe I would ever find anyone to love me and I hid in a hat for five years before I found White Cliffs on the Internet. They had just opened here in Indianapolis. They are a British company but now theyâ??re here. To me, they are the coolest thing to come from England since the Beatles.â?
Jeremy tells me he is performing a poetry reading on campus this very night, an â??open micâ? affair. He tells me that his restored hair allows him to focus because he isnâ??t worried about what other people are thinking. â??This is the best money Iâ??ll ever spend,â? he says before driving off.
Inside Iâ??m now visiting with Paul Sandor, the owner and operator of White Cliffsâ?? Indianapolis hair replacement studio. Weâ??re looking through Jeremyâ??s file and Iâ??m examining the photos Paul took of Jeremy when he first came in for a consultation.
â??Can you believe itâ??s the same person?â? Sandor asks. â??Look at that hair.â?
I reply in the negative but I hadnâ??t even focused on the differences of the hair. Iâ??m looking at the eyes, the face. Iâ??m trying to reconcile the sad, hopeless and lifeless face of the young man in the photos to the handsome, colorful, intense and full-of-life face of the person I was just speaking to in the parking lot 30 minutes before.
Then I allow myself to take in the entire photo and I see a young, premature balding man with a scant amount of hair on the top and a recession pattern that goes back clear to the crown.
â??Thatâ??s quite a transformation,â? I finally say to Sandor, who is standing back smiling broadly.
â??Thatâ??s what we do here,â? he replies, still beaming. â??We change lives for the better.â?
â??What does a â??transformationâ?? like this cost?â? I asked, bracing myself.
He directed me to again look at the photos and to reflect on Jeremyâ??s current look and outlook. I did. â??So the question, then, isnâ??t â??what is the costâ??â? he said, â??as much as it is â??what is the valueâ?? of the transformation.â?
I wanted to press him for a straight answer but instead I heard myself saying, â??Well, if I take what Jeremy told me at face value, and I examine these photos and add that to what I understand about human nature, I might conclude that the value is priceless.â?
â??Exactly,â? he said, patting my shoulder with as much enthusiasm as if I had just recited the winning question on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. â??Now you understand what White Cliffs is all aboutâ?.
White Cliffs Hair Studio originated in London in 2003 and began as a single studio called Hair Loss Centre. The premise of the founding partners was to found a company dedicated to hair loss sufferers by hair loss sufferers.
According to the company profile on their website, the two principals were both hair loss sufferers who had tried every hair loss treatment method under the sun including laser treatments, topical remedies, surgery and nonsurgical treatment methods.
After years of research and many, many thousands of dollars later, they had realized that they had become experts in their own right. Determined to save hair loss sufferers both time and money, the partners â?? Andrew and Warren â?? decided to open Hair Loss Center in the elegant Mayfair section of London. Think Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
From those humble beginnings sprouted White Cliffs Hair Studio, now known Internationally with studios throughout the United Kingdom including Scotland and Ireland.  Studios in India, Canada, Australia soon opened, followed by three studios in the United States in Cleveland, Indianapolis and, most recently, in Chicago.   Paul Sandor owns and operates all three US enterprises.
What made White Cliffs stand out so quickly was their multi-solution approach to solving hair loss. â??In the beginning, before I became a White Cliffs studio, I only offered nonsurgical hair replacement,â? said Sandor. â??Hair loss is more complex than that. You need more tools than that. Itâ??s like that saying: If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything like it is a nail. Now we offer every solution for every type of hair loss condition.â?
I was still thinking about Jeremy when Paulâ??s next client, Lerna, walked into the office. Lerna is a beautiful 42-year-old African American woman who works as a public school teacher in Indianapolis. She looks and dresses conservatively but said that this wasnâ??t always the case.
â??Ever since I was a child, I embraced all the African traditions as far as beading and braiding my hair,â? she said, laughing. â??All through my teens and twenties, I used harsh chemicals and even harsher braiding techniques. But I was young and even though everyone warned me to take better care of my hair I didnâ??t listen.â?
While in her mid-thirties Lerna was diagnosed with traction Alopecia, a common cause of hair loss due to extended tension exerted on the scalp hair, such as is caused by ponytails and braids. She was shocked when she cut her hair short one year to find that underneath all of her outer hair, she had lost significant amounts of her hair in patches.
â??It was nightmarish,â? she said, â??but little did I know that my nightmare was only beginning. The road to finding an expert and professional who cares and really understands how to help someone like me is not an easy one.â?
Lerna related a four-year quest to restore her natural appearance as well as â??everything else I lost when I lost my hair; the self-esteem and the self-confidence.â?
â??I went to six different salons before I found White Cliffs,â? she relates. â??They all put hair on my head, but it wasnâ??t my hair. And thatâ??s a big difference. They all wanted me to shave off my remaining hair in order to give me the density I wanted and they didnâ??t understand why I would want to keep what is there, what is still mine.â?
She had spent over ,000 over six years without getting what she paid for. Today, her hair looks both natural and stylish. Unlike Jeremy, her front hairline was her own actual hair. While the traction Alopecia had caused her hair to recede slightly, it still looked natural for a woman her age.
This time I got to see her without her hair prosthetic applied to her head. â??Patchy hair lossâ? described her hair condition perfectly. She had a lot of her own hair, with large patches of thinning and missing hair. Sandor had applied a â??Volumizer hair systemâ? to her head, a thin, weightless mesh base with hair tied to it that perfectly matched her own hair, texture and color. The base contains openings for her own, natural hair to pull through it, perfectly blending with the tied-on hair, making her bald patches virtually disappear and giving her instant density and an instant smile.
â??These people here are very sensitive,â? she said. â??They care deeply about me. I feel that. Like Paul always says, Iâ??m not a client and heâ??s not a businessman. Weâ??re in a partnership. Weâ??re equals. Thatâ??s the sort of relationship I like to be in where nobody has the upper hand.  It feels comfortable. Sincerity goes a long way with me.â?
The White Cliffs of Dover in Britain are a sight to behold. They are chalky, white cliffs that form an important part of the English coastline and are deeply inscribed with significant national identity, history and meaning. For thousands of years these cliffs have formed a symbolic guard against enemy and foreign invasion of English ports.
To the British, these cliffs represent their national pride and values of strength, fortitude, courage and beauty.
White Cliffs Hair Studio claims the same values as their namesake cliffs. An examination of their website illustrates a study of smooth elegance, style and technology. Their marketing messages are fine-tuned into short, powerful phrases that cut right to the heart of hair loss.
In one banner a young woman is leaning carefree with her head in her hand, along with the message: She looks great and feels great. Hair Restoration is life restoration. The confidences to exceed her limits and to see herself as she is � beautiful.
Another banner portrays a chemo patient posed with a physician and the words:Â Maintaining a whole and healthy appearance during your recovery helps you to feel better â?¦ which helps you to heal better.
Like a menu at a fine restaurant, they outline their treatment offerings with each treatment accompanied by pages of frequently asked questions, photos, videos and testimonials. Lightly sprinkled throughout the website are testimonials of British celebrities and accolades from organizations and websites dedicated to hair loss.
While they made their name with their nonsurgical hair systems â?? which they manufacture themselves in their own factory â?? all studios now offer laser hair therapy, hair transplant surgery, hair extensions, topical treatments, and special â??Cancer wigsâ? â?? prosthetics â?? for those undergoing Oncology treatments who temporarily lose their hair as a result of the treatments.
The partners – in order to fund and provide free hair loss products and services to children with financial need – formed the White Cliffs Foundation.
Bill Smith, editor of HairSite.com, one of the world’s largest and longest running websites dedicated to hair loss, recommends White Cliffs and offered this perspective:
â??Iâ??ll tell you what is different about White Cliffs. Theyâ??ve mastered the relationship with the client, which in this industry has become one of the most important factors for success. Nowadays, the materials that go into a hair system are more or less the same anywhere you go. In the end, success in the non-surgical hair replacement business depends on two things: artistry and customer service. In other words, the craftsmanship that goes into building an undetectable hair system and how well a salon manages client relationships. White Cliffs is one of the very few full service salons that has managed to do both extremely well and that explains why they have become so successful.â?
Sandor himself reads Smithâ??s quote and nods approvingly. â??Heâ??s right. If we assume all things are equal in terms of materials, you still need talent and caring to turn it into something beautiful because only when its done with a high level of skill does it work as far as restoring the hair but also the self-esteem and self-confidence; the restoring of life.â?
â??Thatâ??s the White Cliffs way,â? he adds reassuringly. â??Thatâ??s â??the better wayâ??.â?
