Hair Extensions Expert

Joseph says the reason people call me the king of extensions is because I achieve the impossible and make their hair dreams come true, which excites clients every single time. The standard of my work is like driving the latest sports convertible merc in comparison to a 30-year-old rusty Mazda.

Joseph believes it is a gift in which he has been blessed with which comes naturally, just like Elvis with his music and like Michael Jackson with his dancing.

Joseph mentions of stars that have had the same hair extensions:

• Jennifer Anniston
• Jennifer Lopez
• Whitney Houston
• Julia Roberts
• Elle McPherson
• Angelina Jolie

Ever wonder how Madonna can have short hair one day and long the next? That’s because she’s just one of the many celebrities who chooses to have long hair through hair extensions rather than go through the painstaking and sometimes ugly process of growing it. Hair extensions look completely natural and you can go from short to long hair or have extremely thick hair, all in a matter of hours.

Joseph Mourad’s Hair and Beauty in Double Bay, Sydney has been providing hair Extensions services for five years. He is very particular and uses only the best quality human hair from India and can match it to your existing hair colour or you can choose any colour you want. It can be attached to any kind of hair and any length longer than 2cm. It is attached strand by strand.

The way it works is that each strand has about 20 hairs in it. They are attached to the natural hair, very close to each other so they look totally natural. It’s done by an ultrasonic vibration machine. A synthetic keratin, which is like the keratin found in hair acts as glue. The ultrasound softens the keratin and it grips onto the natural hair and blends into it and looks like its part of it.

A full head can take from 100 to 300 strands depending on the required thickness. The process of attaching the extensions can take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours.

The first question that springs to mind is: Does it damage the natural hair? Mourad says emphatically, no. it doesn’t create any damage to your natural hair. In fact, it keeps the natural hair in its original condition. There is no special care, just how you would care for your natural hair; you wash, condition, comb and blow-dry it. If you are rough on your natural hair you will damage it and the same rules apply with extensions.

Extensions will last between 6 months and a year and eventually will fall out or can be removed. They are removed using surgical spirit, which is available from the chemist. This isn’t a harsh chemical and wont damage the hair.

Once the extensions have been attached you can treat them as normal. They can be combed, blow-dried, you can go swimming, and you can even have them coloured and cut if desired.

Many people seek out extensions for several reasons. Long hair will take three to four years to grow and until then can look pretty awful, with that “growing out” look. Hair extensions are a perfect way of disguising this, while continuing to grow your natural hair. Also, many people who don’t necessarily want long hair but want thick hair seek hair extensions. Then of course some people just want a new look and they want it now!

If you are seeking hair extensions Mourad recommends you visit someone experienced. It’s important to seek out somebody experienced. If the extensions aren’t attached properly a lot can fall out after two or three months. Also, the bonding can be thick and bulky which can be annoying when combing or sleeping. If it’s not done properly it can put strain on the natural hair and can tangle easily.

Also Mourad says it’s vital for a good result to start with good quality extensions. “A lot of people are doing extensions with bad quality hair. You want hair that’s not over treated, brittle and limp. I use only shiny, healthy hair.”

Whether you want to just change your look, thicken your hair or help disguise your “grow out” stage, hair extensions could be the answer. Within hours you will see your head of hair transform into long, luscious and thick locks that look and feel just like your natural hair.
