Show Me the Texture

Hair extensions, but make them look natural!

It’s a popular client request and it IS possible! Choosing the best texture is an important step on the way to making an ideal hair extension match for each client. We offer 14 textures across all of our collections and we know that even a slight variation can make a difference. And to really know a hair’s texture, you have to know what it looks like after it’s been washed and air dried.

That’s where we come in with some help from a thoroughly experienced extension specialist and inventor of the Tightline Method, Shaylie George Green. We’re not just going to tell you the difference in texture, we’re going to show you! Grab a snack, turn up the volume and tune in as we highlight what each texture looks like fresh out of the package and after it’s been washed and air dried.
