The Benefits Of Hair Oil

/in , , , /by

If you’re wondering why on earth we would encourage you to add oil to your hair, hear us out. The many benefits of hair oil is going to be the topic of conversation today! We’re here to teach you about why you should be adding another step to your routine to ensure your hair stays healthy and beautiful!

The History Of Hair Oil

The practice of oiling hair has been used in India for centuries and is recommended in Ayurvedic medicine. More recently, it’s become a well-known practice in the Western world, with many now reaping the benefits of hair oil. When we say hair oil, we’re referring to any oil – or combination of oils – that are added to the hair and scalp. And no, plain vegetable oil won’t do the trick! However, if you have very thick, dry hair, olive oil could certainly help.

Two oils that have been widely used for years are castor and almond oil. This combination was a favourite amongst the Ancient Egyptians, who were well aware of the benefits of hair oil. Due to the extreme heat at the time, the women of Ancient Egypt used this mixture to keep their hair soft, hydrated and long. That’s right, it was even used to promote growth! But what else is hair oil good for?

Discovering The Benefits Of Hair Oil

The women of Ancient India and Egypt were really on to something when they started oiling their hair! The action of adding oil to the scalp and massaging it increases blood circulation, which in turn has been shown to promote hair growth and prevent dandruff. And these aren’t the only benefits of hair oil either!

If you’re not sold on the idea because you already have an oily scalp, there’s no need to worry. Although they can be annoying, our body produces natural oils in order to protect our skin and scalp. By introducing an oil treatment to your routine, you will actually be helping your hair to become stronger, healthier and thicker. Oils contain fatty acids, or lipids, which naturally occur in the hair, but can be lost due to styling, pollution, or exposure to chemicals. So, really, you’re doing your hair a favour!

To take advantage of the benefits of hair oil, you could use a mixture of the oils mentioned above, or opt for coconut or argan oil instead. You’ll be sure to see the best results if you massage your chosen oil blend into your scalp and the lengths of your hair and leave it for a few hours, or overnight if possible, before washing it out.

 

Keep Your Hair Looking Healthy

As well as making the most of the benefits of hair oil, you can ensure that your hair looks thicker and healthier thanks to our range of luxury hair extensions. They don’t involve clips, glue or weaving, so you can take them out as quickly as you put them in, which means you can use your fave oil blend before bed!

If you have thin hair and you’re worried about being weighed down, we suggest you go for Flip-In Hair Lite. If you don’t have thin hair, we’re afraid these extensions won’t be the right fit for you. In this case, you’ll need Flip-In Hair – the product that got us started!

Hair Care Tips

The Best Hair Care Tips We’ve Been Given

/in , , , , /by

Over the years, we’ve heard a lot of advice about what we should and shouldn’t be doing to our hair. Some so-called tips were just old wives’ tales, but that can’t be said for everything! Looking after your hair can be something of a minefield and that’s exactly why the Flip-In Hair team are going to share the best hair care tips we’ve been given with you, just to make your life a little bit easier!

 

The Best And Easiest Hair Care Tip – Wash Your Hair Regularly

This might sound like an obvious one, but we’re sharing it for good reason! Sometimes, because it can seem like it just takes too much time and effort to wash your hair, some people try to go as long as possible without washing theirs. However, this is not something we recommend.

Why is this one of the best hair care tips we’ve been given? Well, it all comes down to scalp buildup, which you’re probably familiar with. When you forego washing your hair, sebum (it’s on your scalp too), sweat, styling products and a host of other things settle on your scalp. This can make it flaky and itchy. If you wait too long, bacteria will start to form and your hair will smell pretty unpleasant. When this happens, you need to reach for the shampoo.

Thoroughly washing and conditioning your hair ensures it’s free from buildup, and healthy too! You can even throw in a scalp scrub if you’ve decided to go for it! When everything we mentioned above starts to form on your scalp, it can also stop it from growing. Hair grows up and out of the scalp, so if anything gets in its way, it simply won’t grow. Sometimes, the best hair care tips are the simplest ones.

Make Sure You Protect Your Hair

We know that this hair care tip is also one that seems pretty obvious but we stand by it. It’s still one of the best hair care tips we have! Whether it’s making sure you use a heat protectant spray before using your straighteners, or getting a regular trim every few months; there are loads of little things you can do to take some of the pressure off your hair.

At times, whether it’s because of the new year, or a break-up, you may feel as though you need to completely change your hair. This impulsive thought often ends up doing much more harm than good. But there’s no need to do anything drastic, thanks to Flip-In Hair.

Our luxury hair extensions allow you to change your look without inflicting any damage on your hair. As there are no clips, glue or weaving involved, you won’t have to think about harming your tresses. If you’re desperate for long hair to the point you’re not getting a trim, you need Flip-In Hair Straight – The Original. If you need even more body for your hair, opt for Flip-In Hair Straight – Wider. This style allows the hair to fit around the back of your head, over the ears and nearer to your face and it’s available in a selection of colours and lengths.

You can check out all of our products and see what’s possible on our website.

 

How We Can Help Beyond Hair Care Tips

That’s it for the best hair care tips from the Flip-In Hair team! Don’t forget, we can help you to look after your hair whilst still making it possible for you to switch up your style.

Real Hair Extensions vs Synthetic Hair Extensions

/in , /by

There are a lot of different types of hair extensions around at the moment and it can be difficult to decide which is best. We’ll be discussing the benefits of both real hair, and synthetic hair to help you discover which type is the best fit for you.

Benefits Of Real Hair Extensions

 

The main benefit of using real hair is that they will always look more natural than synthetic hair. With these extensions, you’ll be able to treat and style your look the same way you would your natural hair. This means there’s no need to worry about using the wrong techniques or products! 

As well as being about to style them with ease, human hair ones will be sure to last longer than their synthetic counterparts. Real halo hair extensions can last around 6-18 months, whereas synthetic extensions will last 2-3 months. Of course, this is only possible if both types of extensions are properly cared for.

 

Benefits Of Synthetic Hair

 

Synthetic extensions are easy to maintain as they come with a style and curl pattern already applied to them. When it comes to restyling your synthetic extensions, all you need to do is wet them with cold water, give them a ruffle, and they’ll go back to their original state. Simple!

When you colour synthetic hair, the results will last for longer as their fibres hold the dye better than real hair does. If you purchase coloured synthetic hair extensions, you don’t have to worry about them fading in a hurry. The cost of synthetic hair is also much lower than that of real extensions. This means you could buy 2-3 different synthetic variants instead of just one made from real hair.

 

Our Opinion

 

In our opinion, we prefer real hair extensions and will always opt for them. Flip-In customers always receive the best quality products and we don’t mess around when it comes to extensions! We absolutely love real hair extensions, how could we not? It’s what we do best! 

All the other benefits aside, you’ll always want your extension choice to look as natural as possible and that is only achievable with human hair. They will feel and look just like your natural hair, just a little bit better. If we’ve convinced you, try out our very own Flip-In Original or for a hint of colour try out Flip-In Flash!
