Coming Up:

Love Your Locks

Ladies never forget to tend to your natural precious locks underneath your hair extensions. Philadelphia’s partner stylist Zina Johnson, is great at maintaining her clients natural hair underneath their weave. The pictures below are of one of Zina’s clients wearing our pure curly hair for 4 months and when her hair was uninstalled, her natural hair was just as fabulous thanks to Zina! Don’t forget that getting a sew in weave is an excellent protective hair style. Use it to your full advantage and take care of your hair so that it can thrive when your weave comes out! If you are located in the Philadelphia area, visit Zina at her salon Hair 4 U located on south street.

V-Day Style Session: Atlanta & Houston

1st Annual Caribbean Achievement Awards

Natural hair guru and stylist to Erykah Badu, Isis Brantley spoke at the 1st Annual Caribbean Achievement Awards last week. This award show, unlike any other was put together by the community organization Houston Caribbean Achievements to highlight and acknowledge the annual achievements of members of the Caribbean community. 

Isis is wearing a custom wig, created especially for her by Joyce from our SoHo location using 4 tubes of Bounce Organic Curl 18" and she looked absolutely stunning! Check out some photos from the event. Isis was joined by our Houston boutique manager, Tracelia. Tracelia is wearing 2 tubes of PURE Curly 16".

How to: Reuse Wefted Hair For Multiple iInstalls

1. Avoid sewing through the wefts or cutting them. If your stylist's insists on cutting the wefts, be sure to seal the wefts before installation.

2. While wearing the hair, perform the proper maintenance to ensure that it will last you at least a year. This means washing your hair with sulfate free products 1-2 times a week and keeping your hair hydrated.

3. Roll, wrap, braid or twist your hair before bed so that it doesn't tangle.

4. When you're ready to take your install out be sure not to cut the wefts.

5. Immediately wash and condition the hair after it is removed. Let the hair air dry before you store it in your Indique tube.

Philadelphia Fashion Week

February is right around the corner which means it’s that time of year again! Fashion Week is upon us. Philadelphia is one of the lucky cities that hosts its own fashion week every year. Designers from all over will be showcasing their latest, ready-to-wear and couture collections. Indique Philadelphia’s partner stylist Kia Sterling is the head hair stylist for this event.  Don’t miss it! Buy your tickets now clicking the photo below.

Cassie-Young & Reckless

We love Cassie and her a new collaboration with the fashion brand Young & Reckless. He hair is shoulder length, and full. The contrast between the dark clothing and nude face, make for interesting imagery. Not to mention, the line looks amazing! We can’t wait to get our hands on these new digs!

Create Your Own Waves with BOUNCE Relaxed Straight

Want big beautiful wave patterns in your BOUNCE Relaxed Straight hair?

1. Roll your hair with medium to large size rollers after shampooing and conditioning your extensions
2. Sit under a hooded dryer until your hair is completely dry. 
3. Comb the curls with a wide tooth comb for looser curls, brush them out with a paddle brush for big voluminous hair or leave the curls as they are.

Relaxed and Natural

Interested in a texture that is able to blend with your natural hair and uphold bouncy and flirty curls? Indique's Natural Roots is the perfect blend. Natural Roots has three inches of BOUNCE Relaxed Straight near the weft and PURE straight towards the end. This texture provides a natural look and will also give you lots of volume!

Ride The Wave

The versatility that a wavier hair texture can provide is endless. Wavy hair textures can be chic and sassy, yet still give you the conservative edge that you may desire. Don’t worry, wavy textures look fabulous in different lengths so you don’t have to limit yourself to longer tresses. Try something new, like a shorter, colored bob similar to Ciara’s look pictured below.  All of the wavy looks in the photos below can be achieved by using Indique’s Pure Wavy texture.

New Year's Hair Resolution

It's a new year and I'm sure you've made countless resolutions in efforts to make 2014 better than the last. Don't forget about your mane in the process. Here are some great hair resolutions:

1. Moisturize, Moisturize & Moisturize
Especially during the dry winter months, don't leave your hair high and dry. Our French Argan Oil is great to use on your hair and scalp without weighing it down.

2. What the doctor ordered
Your biweekly hair appointment are just as important as your doctor or dentist appointments. You will notice that you will have healthier and fuller hair and be able to treat any damage before it's even visible. Don't wait until your hair is falling  out or breaking to see your beautician.

3. Make the cut
You should be trimming your ends every 6-8 weeks. Don't avoid this just because you don't want to sacrifice your length; you're only making it worst. Think of it like this...Would you not trim down your fingernail that cracked because you want to keep the length? In the end the whole nail ends up getting weaker.

4. Sleeping beauty
Always sleep with a satin scarf or pillow. Other materials can be harsh on your hair and can contribute to breakage especially around your edges.

5. Don't be afraid to try something new
Have you been wearing the same style for the past 3 years? The beginning of the year is a great time to step out of the box. Try a new color or cut! You can be missing out on a look that may be extremely flattering on you by staying in your comfort zone.
