Frequently asked Questions
Q. Why our salon chooses Remy Hair
A. We like supreme quality 100% natural Indian temple Remy cuticle
hair.
What this means: Indian hair is the closest and best suited to Caucasian
hair. Remy cuticle means that the cuticle layer of the hair is in tact and all
going in the same direction as it would in your hair naturally, the cuticle
layer provides protection and shine in your hair. Indian temple hair is
prized for its shine luxurious feel and tangle free manageability. As a
result, most techniques you can do with your own hair you can do with
Remy Hair.
Originally black in color, it is gently bathed in a solution, not unlike the
solution used to extract pigment from delicate cashmere wool before the
dyes are added. This method ensures minimal damage to the hair
resulting in extensions that are healthy, strong and full of body and shine!
Q. What kind of bonds are used to fuse the hair to the extensions
hair, I have heard that “gluing” is bad for the hair?
A. A Keratin bond is used
We use the progressive technology of Keratin Fusion along with the latest
procedures in hair application. Every strand of SO.CAP. Original Hair
Extensions are tipped with a Keratin Bond and lightly coated with silicone
to avoid tangles and hair damage while brushing. Alternatively from glue,
keratin does not damage the hair since it is a natural protein found in our
own hair. The Bond itself has small portions of silicone in order to
guarantee a long lasting strong bond.
Q. What are the extensions applied with?
A. Infra light is a revolutionary machine, (by SO.CAP. Original) that
contains all the advantages of the traditional technologies (the hot
point and the ultrasound machines). Thanks to its innovation, it’s
considered to be an exclusive and ideal machine that is safe for all hair
types especially dry damaged hair as well as fine hair.
Infra light offers a modern, reliable, simple and fast technology. It is based
on feed back infrared modulation that softens the keratin in the best way
known to date.
The result of this advancement is an induced thermal energy
proportionate to the energy absorbed by the keratin. Therefore controlling
the depth of the fusion leaving the external part of the keratin intact,
keeping the bond from allowing outside substances from seeping in. It
follows a perfect defence, extending the duration of hair extensions.

Q. How long does it take to put in hair extensions?
A. It completely depends on what you’re having done and what kind of hair
you have to begin with. Upon your consultation a cost and time frame will
be given. Consultations are complimentary.

1) Do not shampoo hair for 48 hours after having them put in.
2) Before bed tie hair back in a scrunchie or a braid to prevent tangling, if possible sleep on a silk pillow case.
3) Brush top of hair with a loop brush or a boar bristle brush, in sections, from the bottom up.
4) When washing your hair, always tilt your head back and lather from the top down. Do not scrub aggressively, but
rather gently lather from scalp to ends. Never go to bead with wet hair.
5) To dry, wrap hair in towel to absorb the water, gently squeeze. Do not use scrubbing action. The hair extension
bonds should never stay wet for too long. It is mandatory that you finger dry them with a blow dryer, you may choose
to allow the actual hair it self to air dry or diffuse the hair when you are in a hurry. If you’re in chlorinated or salt
water, wash hair immediately, condition the ends and dry the bonds.
6) If you sun tan, whether naturally or in a tanning bed, cover your hair completely. Sun exposure from tanning beds
can cause particular damage to your extension bonds.
7) Be sure to take extra care on vacation. Over exposure to the sun, sand, salt water, chlorinated water, sulphur and
mineral salts from hot springs, could affect the hair and bond. Spray s-block treatment before going in to the pool or
ocean.
8) To style hair you can use Velcro rollers, any hot tools you like as long as you avoid touching the bond hot tools.
Avoid overhead dryers.
9) Do not use shampoos containing sulphur, like most dandruff shampoos, as this will dry the hair and cause the
bonds to deteriorate. Use product especially for hair extensions.
10) Do not use silicone or oily products near the bond as it may get inside the bond itself and cause the bond to slip
out. Do not use organic shampoos and conditioners on hair extensions, the natural oils found in many organic
products can cause damage to the bond.
You can question your karma but, you can't question great hair!
