creative juices

Hair extension specialist, Jaime Queenin of Pon International wanted to create a fun and versatile look for Traci that was not as permanent or time consuming as regular hair extensions. Using glue-in rows of extensions, she applied a mix of color starting with Traci's natural warm dark brown to add some length and volume, then added a copper red and a pale blonde for dimension. Once they were all applied, the extensions were blended in with her natural hair using a razor.

"These extensions", says Jaime, "are not meant for all the time wear as they last up to 2-4 weeks before you either have them taken out or adjusted. They are perfect for special occasions or a big weekend when you really don't want anything permanent. I market to the person that wants to change their color without being totally locked into it."
To style, Pon International Sealant leave in conditioner and Pon Du soy paste are layered onto towel-dried hair. Next Jaime blow-dried most of the moisture out using a paddle brush then applied Turn it Up styling spray to the crown for added lift. Once completely dry, the strands are flat ironed then dusted with Shynie spray laminate and pieced with Du Da Du styling paste. For more volume, backcomb at the crown and smooth the surface back over the foundation.
