"Hi, my name is Julia and this is my model Kim from Extensions by Julia on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are going to be talking about hair extensions. (Julia what hair would you choose for and why?) Well first of all we would choose your color. Okay, we got your coloring right here and we have chosen this color right here to match your natural base color. Now, if you want to achieve a one color all throughout your hair, you would stick with this one color. A lot of women want highlights throughout their head as most women get when they go get their highlights done at a salon. You can pick another color that contrast and there's many that you can choose from. If you were to take this light brown, instead of doing all of the rows in one color, you would alternate them to create highlights throughout your head. If you don't want highlights throughout your entire head, you can do them just around the front of your face. (What about the specific type of hair?) There's many different types of hair and the great thing about the fusion product that I use is you can choose many different types of hair. Unlike other companies, the fusion is already attached to the hair, so you get stuck with that company's hair and you don't get to choose. You get to choose with me by going from as low as 100% cuticle Remy hair, all the way up to virgin hair, which you can get from India and Russia which is very popular with the celebrities. (What is cuticle Remy hair?) Cuticle Remy hair, Remy is a certification, it guarantees you that all the cuticles go in one direction, so that way you don't get as much tangling. If the cuticles have been switched around and you have this end that has been cut off of somebody's hair flipped over and mixed in with other hair, it causes a lot of friction, creating a lot of tangling in the hair, it makes it harder to brush, after you wash your hair it kind of gets very matted, so it's very important that you have Remy certified hair."
