welcome back to Houston life if you're
in search of a new look for the fall
season you can change your hair color
and you can also add length pump up the
volume by trying hair extensions
Brenda McLeod with hair extensions of
Houston is joining us now to explain why
not all extensions are created equal and
of course our beautiful models welcome
to the show Brenda thank you for having
us a lot of times people get nervous
when they hear hair extensions you've
got to go to somebody with experience
and you've been doing this for 16 years
Wow so you know you have just about
going someplace where where the folks
applying them have experience it's also
the quality of the hair right definitely
I use top-of-the-line Russian there's
nothing better
it's baby baby fine I mean like this is
Brittany and her hair is like super
super fine that is like yeah I'll tear
and I would never know and you wouldn't
know and every once in a while like you
see someone with hair extensions and you
can kind of see the top thing but with
your systems that doesn't happen right
that's not and we're looking at the
video of what the salon looks like and
so what I think is so great you do full
service so cut and all of that but
extensions to can be timely and what I
love about is you guys have four hands
in there at the at one time right QP
week we have two people doing all the
maintenances which means when you come
back to see us every three months they
need to be moved up like I don't know if
you want to see what they look like
yeah let's start with this is Jessica
right yes okay wonderful yeah let's
start with our model one and a see she
has beautiful hair she's got gorgeous
hair I mean I brought her because you
can't tell she's wearing extendo no not
at all it would have probably seamless
the only way you'd think of my gosh it's
long but Jessica could grow this kind of
hair it's quite possible but inside it's
very seamless very it's a should be on
the other side maybe no no you're good
okay they're very flat they're very flat
to the head okay okay
extremely flat and when you put your
hand on Jessica you don't feel anything
there's no I got it turn on your head
just a little bit we're gonna get a
little tight shot there let's see if we
can come back in there it is in there
and Brenda very your staff they trained
for months and months and months to
learn how to potty train someone it
doesn't look like it when we're doing it
because we've been doing it for a long
time you go you go fast but it takes a
long time to get Mike
trained because I'm very very picky if
it's not incorrectly it starts to pull
on the hair and what happens then is you
can actually have hair loss from an
incorrect installation gosh that sounds
painful you know it is but but when it's
done wrong and we get clients coming in
and they've been somewhere else and I'll
open the hair of my says oh my goodness
sakes and I've even done it free just to
get it out of their heads
I know they are going to have damage
from crazy damage oh and we saw Jessica
you're the extensions there are they
heavy what do they feel like oh no they
feel very natural I mean for the first
couple days you're a little
uncomfortable because you're like oh my
gosh yeah but after that I mean I sleep
normal I don't put my hair up it's so
comfortable I can wash it blow dry flat
iron everything like I would my own hair
yeah so someone could literally go in on
their lunch break get a whole new look
could anybody do this go in and get a
whole new look yeah like would they work
for for anyone hair extensions they work
for just about everyone there's a few
people that I will say no to but that's
very odd you know like there's some
people like we have men that come in all
the time and they have that male pattern
baldness and there's too much baldness I
see there's no comb-over I have to have
a comb-over which is you know you've got
to have comb like I showed you with
Jessica hair has to come over the law
high to hide them okay and then they're
very flat but that's the only time it -
no but let's move along to Brittany who
basically had some thinning after
childbirth which is a normal thing that
happens very common but walk us through
her her procedure okay she was extremely
she lost a lot of him more than the
average gal I mean for a while we
couldn't put any in we had to wait and
then finally she kept saying brennick we
could put him in yet can we put them in
this hair here is two and a half years
old Wow
what why okay just so you can feel it
this is two and a half years old the
extension the extensions unbelievable
her hair is now growing through nicely
again you know it's it's finally coming
back was never - I've never know what if
I just turn your chair just a little bit
I wanted to tackle Wow that is shocking
and and I would imagine it requires
proper care right to last that long it
is
there's certain shampoos you need to use
certain maintenance ideas like the way
you brush it but you help all your I
give them a complete training session
before they leave the shop okay
you look fantastic okay let's talk to
penny here and this is going to be
basically a demo of how we would match
her hair I mean her hair colors
beautiful so right how do we do that
with penny she has a dark under hair
we're gonna do a lot around let's turn
your he doesn't have really highlights
back here it's all extension okay so
she's dark back there so what's
important is to make this look seamless
okay you don't want to see a difference
in color at all mm-hmm I mean if you've
got whatever colors you got going on the
top needs to go down here right so
here's the extensions and the bow
wrecked okay so now we see it once work
no nice to see you today
but it is beautiful I mean it is truly
seamless its seamless and it you know
people don't really see them they're
flat to the touch so if someone comes by
it goes like that she they're not really
gonna feel them all right let they're
not doing damage that's the big thing
right yeah not damaging the hair I mean
that would be the weird irony that you
go for extensions that you actually make
it worse how horrible would that be all
right our last very lovely model I'm
still blown away by how long as these by
how long they can last I know they're
gorgeous okay so walk us through this
one okay this is Carly and Carly
obviously has the afroamerican hair she
and it's very curly that thing is is
that you've got to make it look like it
belongs to her head mm-hmm so most
people would not know she's wearing any
extensions at all I mean they this hair
is probably a little over two years old
and how long is Carly's hair normally
she's probably a bob she's right about
up to her chin yeah it's probably there
her back a little bit longer but her
sides where are we under there wow I are
yes I am blown away so it's kick it up a
notch there's all different colors so
besides matching it to whatever you
wanted which we see all that right here
you can really have some fun berry Katy
Perry like I was gonna say cool you
should do the paint I know it'll be fun
