Blessings Hair & Beauty Studio: On the Cutting Edge of Hair Extensions

Blessings Hair & Beauty Studio:
On the Cutting Edge of Hair Extensions

Professional Hair stylist Kendra Timmons utilizes the newest hair extensions method called Microlinks Cold Fusion.

Arlington, TX – January 30, 2010 – As the versatility of hair extensions has moved to a new level in the beauty industry, Kendra Timmons, founder of Blessings Hair & Beauty Studio in Arlington, Texas has become a professional expert in the use of the newest and most cutting edge hair extension method called Microlinks Cold Fusions.

Generally, Hair Fusion is a method of hair extensions that can be applied either by a hot or cold (no heat) application. The more traditional method, called Hot Fusion, has been used by high-profile celebrities for years. This strand by strand hair technique uses a hot adhesive to attach small strands of hair to your natural hair. This technique is used to add length, fullness or highlights to the overall hair look and feel.

One of the newest hair extensions methods utilized by Ms. Timmons is called Microlinks Cold Fusion. This is a strand by strand hair method that gives a very natural look, for which many clients, celebrity status or not, request primarily due to its low maintenance and versatility. Cold Fusion is perfect for clients who desire safe, flawless, undetectable strand extensions without chemicals, heat, braid, glue, threads or waxes. It is also used to add fullness, length or highlights and most importantly, is great for all hair types and textures, which is one of the reasons Ms. Timmons has mastered the Microlinks Cold Fusion technique over the past three years. “Fusion is generally a preferred method, as fused hair extensions can last 3-6 months with a skilled application and proper salon and at-home care. They are very natural attachments and are not easily distinguished from the client’s natural hair”, states Ms. Timmons.

“Fusion extensions are more expensive than other hair extension methods offered, but if you want a long lasting, natural look, then Fusion extensions may be for you,” further states Ms. Timmons who has over 15 years professional experience and whose cutting edge hair styles, precision cuts and weave artistry has allowed her to maintain a consistent and ever-growing client list.

Those who are interested in Fusion Extensions must meet with Ms.Timmons for an initial consultation to determine whether they are a good candidate for extensions. If so, a full day is set aside at the salon for the application of extensions. A maintenance and upkeep appointment is scheduled afterwards to ensure the extensions are holding properly. Then, the client need only to return for regular styling and hair trims.

Blessings Hair & Beauty Studio also offers the following specialties that include chemical services, designer cuts, weave artistry, skincare and makeup applications.

For a private consultation or for more information on Fusion Hair Extensions or other hair extension methods, contact Kendra at Blessings Hair & Beauty Studio at 817-277-2858 or info@blessingshairandbeauty.com .

Sofn’free GroHealthy Milk & Olive collection

BhpPress — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:15:13 +0000

Sofn’free GroHealthy Bathes Hair in Balanced Diet of Milk, Olive Oil and Omega-3
ATLANTA (October 26, 2009)
About M&M Products Company:
New Trio of Healthy Ingredients Satisfies the Cravings of Naturally Curly Hair — Why deny your hair of the same nutrients that your body requires to flourish?
Described as “Mother Nature’s recipe for healthy beautiful hair,” the new Sofn’free GroHealthy Milk & Olive collection contains an unusual medley of milk protein, olive oil and Omega-3 to strengthen, protect and beautify naturally curly hair. Created to address the structural characteristics and needs of curly hair, the line consists of five
new products made specifically for African-American and Latina women.
“Because the cross-section of a curly strand is oval, not symmetrically round like naturally straight hair, a curly strand has a greater chance to break if it lacks sufficient moisture and protein,” said Will Williams, director of education and product development at M&M Products Company, maker of Milk & Olive. Afro-structured strands in particular are twisted, causing them to often appear matte since uneven surfaces are unable to reflect a lot of light. Additionally, Afro-structured strands typically lose the outermost cuticle layers as they grow away from the scalp,
causing thinning at the ends and a greater propensity to shed and break.

“Curly black hair is gorgeous, so women shouldn’t consider these structural characteristics as shortcomings in beauty,” said Williams. “They just need to know that their hair might require some special attention to keep it strong.” The new line’s ingredients solve each of the aforementioned concerns. Milk protein contains calcium to strengthen hair and provide light reflective properties; its anti-irritant benefits soothe the scalp without causing build-up on the hair. Olive oil, long known for its ability to add shine and repair damage, also helps to promote a healthy scalp and well-moisturized hair. Omega-3, rich in essential fatty acids and recognized as a powerful nutrient for the body and brain, rebuilds, strengthens and protects hair from within. No other hair-care line has this triple-treatment combination. Available at beauty supply stores beginning November 2009 and at mass-market retailers thereafter, each Milk & Olive product has a suggested retail price of $4.99, except for the $1.99 treatment packet: Three-Layer Growth Oil delivers a trio of rich nutrients; a quick shake activates its ingredients.

Leave-In Treatment strengthens, softens and mends split ends with a mist spray application. Strengthening Crème provides hair with an anti-breakage boost.
Daily Growth Lotion encourages hair to resist breakage and a scalp to defy flaking.
Really Deep Conditioning Treatment pampers hair in a single-treatment packet.
M&M introduced a special version of Sofn’free GroHealthy for children in 2007 as the
first therapeutic hair-care line for children with damaged hair. Described as “Serious Therapy for Little Heads,” Sofn’free n’pretty GroHealthy also bases its formulas in natural ingredients.
M&M Products Company is a pioneer in the ethnic hair care industry, established in 1973 by two young African-American pharmacists, who introduced the first product formulated to soften natural black hair. M&M has since become an industry leader, with recognition in the mid-1980s as one of the fastest-growing companies on the list. Based in Atlanta and now privately owned by Iqbal and Yunus Kalla, M&M markets therapeutic and maintenance hair care and grooming products under the brand names Sofn’free, GroHealthy, Bump Patrol, Curly Perm, Easy Wave, and Salon Quality. Products sell in mass-market retails, such as Wal-Mart and Target, drug stores, grocers, beauty supply stores, and barber shops in every major African-American market and throughout Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.
