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.

Lupita Nyong'o

We are in love with the effortless glamour of Lupita Nyong'o.  Known most recently for her role in “12 Years a Slave”, Lupita is undeniably one of the world’s most striking beauties. Lupita’s style is memorable. She tends to utilize color, texture, and shape to create a stand out look that never blends in with the crowd.  Lupita Nyong'o  is the essence of style, grace, fashion, and beauty.

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!

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.
