hair challenge day 9 - DIY peek-a-boo highlight

 Peek-a-boo highlights

that don't require a visit to the salon.

Be prepared to get a little crafty...

Here is what you will need:

 Pick a hair color that will contrast your natural color.

You can even find red, blue, purple, or pink!

Make sure that you are using REAL HUMAN hair.

All the supplies (clips, hair, weave thread)

 I purchased at Sally Beauty Supply.

hair challenge day 4 - how to wear clip in hair extensions

It's Saturday night.

Girl's Night Out for Mama Kat.

So time to get fancy and get out my clip in hair extensions.

When using clip in extensions make sure the
hair is 100% REAL human hair.
This way you can curl, flat iron, blow dry it, and wash it.
Yes! Wash it!! They get dirty too.
Synthetic hair will easily melt with any contact to heat,
and beside, they're just fake looking.

 Here is what you will need:

Here's how to do it:

1 - Start with the clip on extension that is the shortest in width
 at the nape of the neck.
2 - Section off the area and clip in the hair piece
 on the hair below the part.
3+4 - Let down 1-2 inches of your natural hair
 and apply the next  hair piece. 
5 - Don't put the clip too close to your hairline
 so that it won't be visible.
6 -  Make sure you don't get hair from the upper section
 caught in the clips....
this can give you a major headache.
7 - For your third piece, make sure you have plenty of hair from your crown to sufficiently cover the hair piece.
8 - I like to back comb the top a little
 to camouflage the top extension.
9 - This is how it should look when you are done.
  The hair should fall like a waterfall.

Here are some suggested retailers for clip in hair extensions:

Luxy Hair
