That one pesky thing you can’t stop looking at in the mirror. That one difficult yet inevitable thing that’s sure to ruin your perfect outfit: root regrowth. Don’t have time or the money to bolt to the salon for a colour fix straight away? Never fear – here are some sneaky little tips to help hide your root regrowth!

how to hide regrowth

HOW TO HIDE ROOT REGROWTH: TIP #1 CLEAN HAIR

For all you not-so-natural blondes: you’ll need to make sure that your locks are washed often to keep them clean and fresh! This won’t only make your hair appear flat, it will also make those bleach needing roots appear even darker! Since washing your hair daily is not ideal for time tight people and is not the most hair friendly option, dry shampoo should be a close at hand friend. Have a quick spritz of dry shampoo throughout the day and lift those heavy dark roots!

HOW TO HIDE ROOT REGROWTH: TIP #2 MIX UP YOUR PARTING

This one works for all hair colours, if you want to hide your regrowth, it could be worth mixing up your hair parting. Whether you opt for a deep side parting or a chic middle part, the extra volume that your new parting brings should help to hide regrowth instantly! It will also hide some fading out highlights.

HOW TO HIDE ROOT REGROWTH: TIP #3 BIG BLOWOUT

As you may have guessed from the previous tip on how to hide regrowth, volume is essential for drawing your eye away from those attention seeking roots. Therefore, we would suggest steering clear of sleek, straight styles and swapping them for a more bouncy blowout and voluminous curls. These body-boosting hair do’s help to create extra lift and movement hence hiding regrowth in the most stylish way possible! Try using some hair rollers for a root lift or if you have some big roll brush skills, try giving yourself a blow wave.
Alternatively, opt for some big GHD curls with some back combing at the roots.

They can also be applied within 30 short minutes. We offer a generous guarantee of thick ends top to bottom, including a 30 day money-back guarantee.

This will help out our lovely tape hair extension customers in caring for and maintaining tape hair extensions.

The washing routine: Maintaining tape hair extensions

The most important thing about the upkeep of high quality tape hair extensions, will always come down to the types of products that are regularly used in the hair. Consider always using sulphate and alcohol free products on the hair as this can cause dryness and perhaps decrease the value of the product. Keep in mind that the aim is to keep the hair looking as natural and healthy as possible. So the amount of heat styling tools and any sort of unhealthy product should always be limited whenever possible. Here at ZALA, we recommend using protein-rich products for the hair. This is to ensure they are always in their best possible condition.

Sleeping routine

When it comes to wearing and maintaining tape hair extensions, your sleeping routine will always play a vital role in the quality and condition of your tape hair extensions. This is because when you sleep, the friction between the adhesive in your hair can cause unwanted an excessive tangles and knotting. Consider sleeping with your hair braided or perhaps loosely plaited all while being completely dry. This will keep the hair straight and under control. Leaving no room for flyaway’s or any potential tangles. It would also be a good idea to invest in a silk or satin slip over your pillow for the ultimate, soft glossy locks as you wake in the mornings.

Brushing routine

It is quite easy to keep good care in maintaining tape hair extensions just by regularly brushing your hair. We highly recommend for all our customers, (especially tape) that brushing your hair with a soft-bristled or loop brush will keep them groomed and well maintained. This separates any loose hairs from the full set and keeps your tape hair extensions looking healthier and fuller. Our ZALA loop brushes can be purchased on our hair extension accessories page for a low price of only $9.95 AUD. To purchase a loop brush, please click here.

General maintenance

Here at ZALA, we recommend for a general maintenance check (maybe even tapes to be re-applied) every 8-10 weeks. This is because the tapes can grow with the natural hair and will need to be moved back closer to the scalp. This will keep your tape hair extensions looking healthy and nourished. Please also avoid any contact with the adhesive when using any treatment products including any natural oils or conditioners. The aim is to keep the adhesive nice and fresh, and as long-lasting as possible. This is also very important when maintaining tape hair extensions.

How to tame frizzy hair

Frizzy, untamed and uncontrollable hair? Do not fear! We’ve gathered the best of the best tips, tricks and techniques that’ll show you how to finally take control of that messy, uncooperative mane and how to tame frizzy hair. As a hair extension company, we understand the ongoing struggle faced by millions of people worldwide.. the dreaded frizz factor.

Hair is very complicated. As high maintenance as it sounds, it is important to cater towards your hair daily, based on factors such as environment, your daily routine (that being a work or study environment), hair product use, and the styling tools that are being used regularly on your hair. With seven easy time-friendly tips, we show you exactly how to tame frizzy hair.

Frizzy hair

How to tame frizzy hair.. Environment

The humidity in the air is usually always responsible for the frizzies that make an appearance on a hot or humid day. This is because the hair soaks up all the moisture from the air, causing the hair cuticles to expand – resulting in frizz. Nobody can control the weather, but you can start taking full control of your locks once you figure out a way around the frizz factor on a warm day, and we’ve got just the right tips for you, just in time for summer.

Styling

Start taking good notice of your daily hair care routine. How often do you wash your hair? What hair drying technique do you use? Do you let it dry naturally? Or do you use a heat styling tool to dry your hair? These are all important factors to keep in mind when controlling frizzy and untamed hair. Hair straighteners and any type of heat styling tool leads to dry, brittle hair and cause excessive and unwanted damage and breakage. And what does that mean? Frizz and split ends! Try to cut down styling your hair with heat tools as much as possible for the silkiest and healthiest tresses of hair.

Product use

Product use is also huge influence in the overall health and well being of your hair. The frizz in your hair is always noticeable depending on the products you use in your hair. Excessive use of shampoos or dyes will strip the hair of its natural oils, which are known as great ways to avoid the dreaded frizz. Try to cut down on the shampoo to at least twice or three times a week to ensure you maintain the shiniest, happiest hair. The best thing about knowing how to tame frizzy hair is that once you are in control, there’s no going back. Keep your hair looking sleek and glossy all year round!

Extra suggestions

Never brush dry hair! This can cause too many split ends and breakage.
Give back some moisture to your hair by taking a trip to the hairdressers for regular protein and moisture treatments.
Make sure your conditioner always contains protein!
Comb through your dry hair with wet fingers

We hope this little insight on taming frizzy hair has helped you achieve the ultimate results of sleekness and tamed hair! Please enjoy this quick tutorial on how to tame frizzy hair.
