|---|---|
| Satin Pillowcase |
Soft pillowcase that enables your hair to move freely while sleeping. BRIJON offers a container that includes two satin pillowcases. |
| Scissors |
Are a cutting instrument having two blades whose cutting edges slide past each other. After hair extensions are installed, it is very important to cut and style the hair extensions. We recommend using BRIJON’s Hot Razor as it is ideal for styling, while scissors can also be used in certain areas to complement the Hot Razor. |
| Shampoo |
Is a hair care product used for the removal of oils, dirt, skin particles, dandruff, environmental pollutants and other particles that gradually build up in hair. The goal is to remove the unwanted build-up without stripping out too much that would make the hair unmanageable. BRIJON offers a very high quality shampoo called EX Shampoo (with Aloe Vera and silk proteins) that is specially formulated to strengthen and repair cuticles, remove tangles, and leave your hair soft, healthy and manageable. This shampoo works perfect with hair extensions, but can also be used with colored hair, damaged hair and all other types of hair. |
| Shedding |
Is the consequence whereby hair falls out of the hair extension (after combing, showering, etc). This is one of the biggest concerns of hair extension customers. BRIJON uses a triple stitched weft and very strong keratin to help prevent shedding. Shedding, however, is natural and there will always be some shedding with all types of hair. In fact, people shed approximately 100 pieces of their own hair per day. |
| Silicon Rings |
These rings are used as part of the microlinks application. Hair extensions and the customer’s own hair are inserted into the rings, and clamped down to hold the hair extension in place. The inside of the ring contains silicon which promotes growth and protects the customer’s hair. BRIJON offers two different sizes and four different colors for its silicon rings (black, brown, beige and blonde |
| Skin Weft |
This type of weft is growing in popularity because there is no thick track of hair at the top and the hair can lay flat against the customer’s head. The top of the weft contains a translucent polyurethane coated tape (usually double sided) that is used to attach the weft to the customer’s own hair. It is also much easier and quicker to apply than other types of hair extensions. Also, the hair appears to be growing from the scalp so it looks more natural than other types of hair extensions. |
| Smoothing |
for reducing frizz or unruly hair for a sleek finish. This can be achieved through using BRIJON’s EX Polishing Milk (as described within this glossary). |
| Straight Hair |
Hair that is naturally straight. With BRIJON’s hair, which all comes from India, this hair is soft, smooth and has a very slight wave pattern. All India hair will have a slight wave. Straight hair can be easily curled as well as flat ironed for an ultra sleek look. BRIJON;s hair is comprised of 100% human, Remy natural hair, and its virgin hair has not been processed, colored or texturized. |
| Straightening |
Refers to a styling method of straightening the hair by removing curls or waves. BRIJON’s EX Styler, which uses digitally advanced technology, allows the stylist and/or customer to easily straighten their hair extensions. The EX Styler heats quickly and maintains the temperature ensuring optimum heat, while the ceramic plates help seal in natural oils, moisture and hair color. For naturally curly hair, the straightening process lasts for several days. If you get caught in the rain, however, sometime the hair will revert back to its original state and need to be straightened again. |
| Strand |
Term used in the hair extension industry to refer to one Keratin Tip or i-Tip extension. Within each hair extension strand, there are numerous individual hairs (approximately 50). To complete a customer’s hair, it usually requires between 100 and 150 strands. For highlights, customers will typically purchase 10 or more to provide color in various parts of their head. |
| Synthetic Hair |
Synthetic hair is unnatural hair that is manufactured using nylon, polyester or other industrial materials. Although synthetic hair is much cheaper than human hair, it does not last nearly as long, it breaks down very easily and cannot be treated like your own hair (eg, the hair may melt if close to a hair dryer). BRIJON does not use any synthetics in its hair, and guarantees that all of its hair is 100% human Remy hair. |
