Celebrity Hairstylist Justine Marjan Shares Expert Guide to Hair Extensions
Los Angeles, CA – Celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan is offering her insider knowledge on the world of hair extensions, breaking down everything from choosing the right brand and submission method to essential aftercare tips. In a recent feature, Marjan emphasizes the importance of selecting a reputable brand and a trusted professional before making any major hair changes.
Marjan highly recommends Bellami Hair,praising their “amazing quality,the range of options for application,the innovative technology,and the wide colour range.” Bellami offers consultations,color matching,and both temporary and semi-permanent extension installation services thru their professional stylists.
For those new to extensions, Marjan suggests starting with clip-ins. “They’re the best way to test out extensions and see if you like the look, feel, and density of them,” she explains. “You can also use them to instantly change your look for a specific style, like a ponytail, or for a fuller bun or braid, without the commitment of other methods.”
Marjan details different extension methods for longer-term wear. K-tips, involving individual keratin bonds attached to small hair strands, offer the longest lasting results but require a more extensive application process. tape-ins, a faster option, typically last six to eight weeks and are ideal for special occasions like weddings or trips. She also notes her practice of combining techniques – using both bonds and tapes – to correct previous hair issues, such as a poor haircut or to address hair loss.
Maintaining extensions requires diligent care. Marjan stresses the importance of detangling and keeping hair healthy, recommending Bellami’s boar brush for daily use to prevent matting. She advises washing hair as needed, based on density, sweat levels, and natural oil production.
Though, Marjan also outlines a strict list of “don’ts” for extension wearers: avoid swimming in salt water or chlorine, sleeping with wet hair, air drying, applying masks or conditioner to the roots, using oils or silicone at the attachment points, and applying direct heat to the tape or bonds.
“There are countless ways to use extensions,” Marjan concludes. “It’s really based on your lifestyle and what is preferred for maintenance and application. At Bellami’s Beauty Bar, you can finish your look off with the perfect style.”
