Reasons to get hair extensions

When it comes to hair extensions we have many reasons to consider them. Here is our top reasons.

1. Your hair only grows so long before it breaks off. 
• Hair extensions that are light on the hair can help your hair grow better than it has before. 
• You learn to take care of your hair and not have the pressure of trying to add volume that can actually hurt your hair
2. You had a bad chemical service that left you having to cut a lot of your hair off.
• As long as your hair is 2-3 inches long you can get extensions, if you are using an expert like Christine Carpenter of Styles by Chris/ Columbus Traveling Beauty Team.
3. Over time of lots of stress your hair has thinned out
• We offer top integration pieces that disguise thinning hair on top.
• Top pieces can fill in the areas that are super thin. We offer some different choices for different hair.
• keratin bond extensions can help give you a lot more hair on the sides and back and the bonds are able to be split to not add a lot of weight to the hair.
• Tape extensions can help, but are not 100% non-damaging.
4. New hairstylist gave you a bad cut that you just can deal with growing out. 
• This could be your most expensive haircut. Making sure you are with an experienced artist can help save you from bad extensions as well. 
5. Tired of short hair?
• going from short hair to go to long will take extra extensions to help blend in, but don't expect to go from short hair to hair down to your butt and still look totally natural. At the consultation we can help choose the most appropriate length for you.
6. Limp hair with no style.
• gain a ton more hair with extensions. But don't expect it to dry and style as fast as your normal hair.
7. Suffer from trichotilomania?
• Extensions can give your hands actual purpose when it comes to getting into your head. 
• Trichotilomaninia sufferers can also hide where they had pulled their hair out.
8. Have a big occasion coming up that you want to look your best for
• There are several different methods depending on your hair type and how long you plan on wearing them. Less expensive clip in extensions can start around $120 and go up to over $400. Semi-permanent ones can start around $400 and go up by length, thickness, and type. Set up a consultation to learn more
9. Want to look younger?
• longer hair that is shiny can help make someone look younger. However, too long can drag down the face, though. 
10. Highlights anyone?
• You can add hair extensions to your hair to bring a new color into your hair without having to put any chemicals in your hair. Want pink, purple, blue, or even just a red or blonde. Now extensions in come in ombré.

Changing the angle!

When a lot of new clients who come to Chris of Styles by Chris and owner of Columbus Traveling Beauty Team are always a little shocked on how fast I can transform their hair in such a short amount of time, sometimes even on the first visit.

Changing the angle by the slightest amount can make or break a haircut, especially on fine/ thin/ thinning hair, while also the change of hair color can make a big difference as well.

Determining how someone typically wears their hair, and showing them a few other choices of cuts, colors, or help picking out hair extensions is what I find my clients love most about coming to see me.

I don't have just one look to do on everyone, but I can see what needs to be done to help discuss the problem areas.

Some of the things I like my clients to use to help trigger growth is:

1. Find out what is causing the issues. Could it be hormonal, or just bad hair coloring. Get an appointment with your doctor to get it tested for thyroid, vitamin deficiencies, blood pressure, or diabetes. 
2. Think back to when the problem first started to occur. What was going on in your life to warrant this change to your hair? Where you going through some stressful situation? Did you change your diet? Go through some hormonal changes (start "the pill", starting menopause, etc)? Go through some weight changes? Just have a surgery? or Could your hairdresser be doing too much to your hair chemically and causing it to fall out?
3. Are you taking your vitamins? If not, let me go over a few that I have seen that have helped others.
4. What kinds of products are you using on you hair? How often are you shampooing? Are the products you are using drying out your scalp and hair?
5. Are you willing to change your normal routine to help get your hair the way you've always wanted? 
6. Would you ever consider getting hair extensions?

Hollywood, here we come!!!

So we may not be traveling to Hollywood, but for the past few days Cheri Fritch and Faith Walker of Columbus Traveling Beauty Team actually had the opportunity to work on a few Hollywood actors.

Cheri had helped Will Brittain with his hairstyling as Faith helped Will and Tyler Hoechlin keep from being shiny as the guys promoted their new movie "Everybody wants some!!!!"

In Hollywood image is everything, and we believe that it should matter when you have any big occasion as well.

Some guys might not like the idea of having anyone style their hair or wear any makeup, but they also don't like the idea of looking bad for big events. 

This is where the professionals of Columbus Traveling Beauty Team come in to help with "enhancing or distracting" the clients looks to help them look and feel their best in photos, or on camera (or even just getting together with people).

Columbus Traveling Beauty Team does offer male grooming services for family photos, senior pics, tv appearances, weddings, Bar mitzvahs, and any other special event that a man might want to look his best.
