I had a lady come in for a consultation for hair extensions today, and she had this book that she downloaded from this website. It's all about hair extensions, the various methods, pros and cons, etc. I have not downloaded it, as it costs money to do so, but she said it was extremely informative. http://www.hairresources.netfirms.com/extensionguide/nfoscomm/catalog/ - http://www.hairresources.netfirms.com/extensionguide/nfoscom m/catalog/ ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

| Seriously Sherrie, you are so right. Did anyone end up buying that Xtensions book that was for sale at Amazon that one of the U.K. girls was talking about? |

| Well I just bought the ebook from HairResources, downloaded it and skimmed through it quickly. This forum along with Quinsters and HairPolice are mentioned. Does anybody want me to forward it to them? |

It has picture diagrams of where to place extensions and stuff.. i have nothing to do tonight so if anyone wants to know anything in particular i will scan that section and post it :)

I got it, thanks! And boy, am I glad I didn't pay for this. It's poorly written (two sentences about "infusion" in the second paragraph of chapter 2 which contradict each other), inaccurate (toyokalon is NOT higher quality than kanekalon, and they have shrinkies and microrings confused as if they're the same thing), and the chapter on attachment exhibits a sheer lack of comprehension on pinchbraiding- they call it the "filament string" method, and say it's done by attaching the extension hair to a string, and the attaching the string to the hair. Aside from being wrong, their explanation doesn't actually tell you -how- it's attached...despite mentioning Melissa from Hairpolice in the credits. Oh yeah, and they make the skin-weft/invisible weft method sound like a surgical skin graft, instead of sticking some tape onto your scalp. It also claims that the ChrissyV system can last for up to a year. I think they confused the -hair- lasting up to a year with the extensions lasting that long. The book also validates some of the untrue claims that various companies make. They profile about thirty companies who produce extension materials, and of the fifteen or so that do fusion, they say things like "causes no damage" or even more hilariously, "non-glue". Now, I know many people do use fusion successfully withno damage, but many also have serious damage form it, so it's incorrect to say it causes no damage. And to say that fusion isn't glue...well, that's just falling for the companies' sales gibberish. By the way, metalgirl, you're listed in the "websites with good info" section. Small world! To a complete newbie, I think this book would be valuable in the sense that it has a lot of information concentrated in one place. But the information is nothing that can't be found for free on the web. The Extensions 101 thread, in my opinion, rivals this book in its informativeness. Were the book free, I would think it was a incomplete source, useful when combined with the input of other pages and forums. But charging $10 for it is like selling ice to an Eskimo. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

They list my website under the 'websites with good info section?' That's a shocker to me! I never even heard of the book until that client brought it to the consultation. I just had the book forwarded to me, so obviously I'm going to check that out! I guess I'm glad that they think my website has good info, though, because I tried to put a lot of info on it.

Seriously! The same one that's in your sig. I read it and wa slike, "Where have I seen that before? Oh yeah!" Oh, and Kate, I didn't buy that book- I forgot the name, but you know, the one you posted on the hairboard. I thought I was getting it for my birthday but then got something else instead! I still want it, and will get it once I've got a bit of money (or when the pound stops kicking the dollar's ass). Another great book- mostly for stylists, but it explains a lot of techniques in great detail, so would be good for the curious customer- is the Pivot Point Hair Additions book. It's meant as a textbookfor the extensions course at the Pivot Point beauty school, and it's super in-depth and has nearly everything photographed in great detail and is generally awesome. It covers every single form of braiding, latex glue, fusion, I believe heat-sealed, and a bunch else. The only thing it doesn't have is pinchbraids, but I forgive them. :) You can usually find it on eBay, or I believe his&her has it in their Books and Videos section. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

I have the Hair Additions book, and it's pretty good, but a little dated. It has a lot of info, but it doesn't list anything about shrinkies or any type of micro ring application. I think it was written in the late 80's early 90's. (all the models have 80's hair dos!- There's even a guy that they bond wefts onto and give him a mullet!) It shows the 4 strand heat seal, the Dome method. Overall it a good book. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Yeah, the 80's hairdos are a kick. :) That's right, I forgot about
rings and shrinkies! They should update it. Maybe the UK book will
cover it all... -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
