Hi guys, To give you some background, I have long, extremely thick hair. It was very dark brown/black (lvl 3 on top and lvl 1 on the ends) with colour buildup from a mix of dark brown professional tints, and purple/teal/red direct Crazy Colours. I decided to go blonde again and my hairdresser...

SHORT VERSION- Eyelash extensions or Semi Permanent Eyebrows for first-time beauty skill? Hi all, I was recently made redundant from a customer service office job and it's made me seriously consider my career plans. I'd been thinking about changing career for a while and now I have a lump sum...

Hi all, I'm looking into doing a training course in hair extensions in Dublin, Ireland and trying to decide between Hairspray or Platinum? Hairspray are a huge name but Platinum do far better quality work (in my view). hairspray's extensions can be quite obvious and the ends stringy. Geeks who...

Hey Irish geeks! Question- if I wanted to get the best eyelash extension training I can buy in Dublin, who would I train with? Thanks!

Hi all, I've been working in the tech industry for several years and while I enjoy it I ultimately would like to switch to beauty. I'm based in Dublin so the laws etc here might be a bit different to the UK. I love hair extensions and all things nails and was thinking of doing a CND, Asu or...

Seeing posts about it all over Instagram, it's a hair growth supplement formerly known as Hairvits. The results look a bit too good to be true though. http://www.hairburst.com/ Is it legit? Thanks!

Hi guys, Quick question- most of the hair extensionists in my area retail and recommend Revlon products such as Equave and Uniq One, but I rarely see it in regular hair salons. Why do extensionists love Revlon so much? Is it really that good or is there another reason? I've used Equave before...

Hi everyone, I'm in the market for a new hairdryer and saw this Parlux for sale significantly cheaper than other models: http://www.lookfantastic.com/parlux-superturbo-hp/10803457.html Parlux Superturbo HP 2400W and 84 cubic meters/second. I haven't seen this one mentioned around here before...

Hi all, Which Dreamweave mascara is better- the Construct (gold tube) or the Magnet (black tube)? Thanks!

Does anyone know what kind of hair extensions Cheryl Cole has? I've spied a couple of fusion strands recently, but her hair is always so huge especially at the roots. I've worn fusion and micro beads before and it was very hard to get volume at the root because obviously you can't backcomb a...

Hi all, My hair is dark brown (level 2-ish) and I'd like it to be lighter, like this http://www.headkandy.com/innovaeditor/assets/cheryl%20cole%20hair%20extensions%20clip%20in.jpg I'm gonna ask in a salon but I won't be able to get to one for a few days- in the meantime out of curiosity...

Hi guys, I got acrylics done 4 1/2 weeks ago as my natural nails were very thin, sore and damaged from me removing/tearing off my own gel polish and I wanted something to cover them while they grew out. So originally I was going to just let the acrylics grow out (the ridge isn't that bad and I...

I had Jessica Geleration on my nails for 2 weeks and stupidly decided to try and remove it myself with acetone nail varnish remover, and damaged my nails in the process. Some parts were soft like paper. I got Shellac done the next day and the nail tech did warn me it mightn't last the full 14...

Hi all, I currently wear a full head of single-strand micro bead extensions. However for cost purposes I am thinking of switching to wefts instead (the wefts are attached to the hair using the micro beads). Can anyone tell me if there are any pro's and cons to this method as opposed to the...

Hello everyone, I got a full head of micro ring extensions (160 extensions approx) done about 6 weeks ago. I noticed some of the bonds were getting a bit soft last week (but the extension was still secure) but I have started losing the odd one- about 5 or 6 now. Is this normal? I thought I...

I've had my extensions in a few weeks now and can see that the natural hair that has shed is held in the extensions. You can see the root bulbs and they look quite pale against my dark hair :( Also, I went swimming a couple of times and wasn't able to dry my roots immediatly afterwards so some...

This is just something I've always wondered. I am a natural level 3/4. A few years back, when I decided I wanted to go blonde, I thought that it would be done by a full head of lightening and then some highlights/lowlights on top to add some contrast/depth. Not one hairdresser I had a...

Hello geeks! As some of you may have read in my other threads, I am getting European human hair extensions fitted on Saturday (micro rings, full head). As this is the most money I have ever spent on my hair I want to make sure I look after them absolutely right. I would like to wear them a la...

I live in a very hard water area. I have always had problems with dryness and frizzyness in my hair, even when it was it's natural undyed state (I must admit that was years ago). I noticed that when I moved to Canada my hair was immediately better, and I was using the exact same products so I'm...

I have finally saved up my pennies and want to go for a full head of extensions. However I am having trouble deciding between micro links and bonded extensions. I am put off by the bonded extensions because I understand excessive heat can damage the bonds, as can conditioner, hair products...
