Hair Extension Methods Improve As Consumer Demand Grows

    MIAMI, FL, December 19, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Although hair extensions seem to be the latest trend, they actually date back to 4th Century B.C. with the Egyptians, and they have been going strong ever since then. Gina Diaz, founder and owner of Glam Hair Extensions, thinks they are more like a hidden conspiracy, which Paris Hilton and other celebrities have brought out into the open.

Diaz endorses the Flat Method as the safest and most comfortable hair extension system. "As consumer demand for hair extensions has grown, clients have become more knowledgeable about the methods and quality of the human hair that is used in the process," says Diaz. "Paris Hilton has her own hair extension line of products that don't hold very well and often use the poorest quality hair alive."

Diaz teaches the Flat Method, a hi-tech method of attachment, in her award winning online hair extension training course. She claims it is the only method in the world that lasts consistently for more than a year, and up to two years. It takes less than an hour to install a full head, unlike strand-by-strand, which can take up to six hours. It miraculously grows the hair faster than if you didn't have extensions because of the slight weight on the original hair.

"To maintain the hair with other methods, you have to remove it, throw away, and get new hair," says Diaz. "With the Flat Method, there is no throwing away. The hair is reusable for up to one year, and our Russian line of hair will go up to two years."

Removal of the hair extensions takes less than 1/2 hour, compared to six hours for the strand-by-strand method. According to Diaz, the Flat Method uses cold keratin with no heat, much better for the hair than the strand-by-strand method, which can destroy the hair with too much heat, from 250 to 400 degrees, depending on the systems.

The need for quality human hair extensions has grown enormously because nearly one out of every three women worldwide suffers from some sort of hair loss, as well as the emotional distress that it causes. Diaz suggests hair extensions for: (1) anyone who cannot grow their hair for any reason; (2) people with thin and fine hair; (3) bad haircut or destruction during color processes and/or highlights; (4) people with mild alopecia; and (5) cancer survivors growing out their hair.

Gina's own painful and devastating personal experience took her into the world of hair restoration and extensions. In early 2001, her own hair was severely burned when a chemical process in a salon went awry. Her glorious tresses were destroyed within an inch of her scalp. Diaz embarked on a journey to salvage the remains of her hair. She studied the safest, most effective techniques in hair extension technology and researched ways to perfect the systems. Today, she advocates her own methods, which she calls, "Glam Hair."

Glam Hair Extensions is a pioneer in the development of hair extensions service and training since 2000. It is the only hair extension salon that has revolutionized the industry by mastering more than 14 different hair extension techniques and developing the first reusable hair extension method called The Flat Method.

In addition, Glam Hair Extensions was the first company to offer online hair extension certification classes worldwide. The company is the official hair stylist for Miss Miami USA 2007, Miss Jupiter USA 2008, and Miss Florida Caribbean 2008, and many more.
