The trend of wearing silver hair extensions and dyeing it too, has been one of the hottest hair trends in 2015. It seems that this trend is not dying yet, and will continue next year. We can’t wait to see how this trend will evolve in 2016. We have here gathered some of the ways you can get and wear that silver hair yourself. We hope you enjoy!

1. Dye your own hair 
   Weather your hair is short or long, curly or straight, it is possible to dye it. Here we explain step by step how you DIY.Step one: First of all it is important that your hair was either never dyed, or that you do not dye your hair for 6 months prior to dying your hair silver/gray.

   Step two: You already know it’s coming, don’t you.. You will have to use bleach on your hair. Therefor, it is important to get a deep conditioning treatment at least a week prior to bleaching. We reccoment this one from Redken, if you are doing it at home. It is a bit pricey, but I will personally rather pay a bit more to be sure I am getting a well known product that protects my hair, than saving those few bucks and getting a product that won’t do the job anyway. Otherwise you can go to your local hair salon.

   Step 3: It is now time to bleach your hair. It is advisable to not wash your hair for around 3 days prior to the bleaching. That will make the natural oils work to your advantage. They will protect your scalp from the chemicals in the bleach. Do not use the cheapest bleach kit out there. It can be very damaging to your hair, so be sure to find a well known one. When you do go and look for one, make sure it is vol. 40. We’ve found a kit for you that you can safely use from L’OREAL. Be aware that no matter how good the product is, this will still harm your hair, and you have to be prepared to loose a bit of length. Not a lot if your hair is already healthy, but no matter what you will have to get a haircut afterwords. Another last thing when you bleach your hair, is that you can choose to leave your roots out of it. Like you can see in the picture, she did not dye her hair all the way to the scalp. This gives a cool look too, and help you protect your scalp.

   Step 4: Now your hair is bleached, and you have very light blond hair, you’ve also got a haircut to get rit of the damaged edges. Wait a week before you dye your hair in the silver tone you would like, to give your hair a bit of rest after the bleaching. It can indeed also be hard to find the right tone and the right brand. The one from Pravana works really well, it should be so permanent that you won’t have to dye it again for over 6 weeks. It is actually the only one we can truly recommend with a good feeling, since a lot of the other ones seems to have problems of either lasting or working at all.

   Now you have your gray/silver hair, and we hope you got great results! If you have a picture, we would love to see your experience and results.

2. Get a few simple highlights 
   If you don’t feel like going all in with this color, there is still a way. If you are planning on braiding up your hair, you can simply buy some extension hair in the silver tone you’ed like and incorporate them in for instance one side like you see on the picture.
3. Loose extensions
   This way works really well if you have short hair. The extensions are attached piece by piece instead of getting a full weave. For this look we recommend using real human hair to make it last as long as possible, and to give you the freedom of styling it with heat.  If you can find it, buy the U-tip extensions. It is the best way to get the same look in the picture.
4. Braid it up 
   Another way of not dying your own hair, is to braid it up in box braids with gray/silver braiding hair. It is a cool look, and it is only temporary. You can find the hair here.
5. Faux locks
   Again a temporary way of doing it. Silver faux locks. This is a double trend, since the faux locks are really popular these days. As a matter of fact, the faux locks are such a good choice when choosing your next protective style. Is looks nice, and it is so low in maintenance. Get the gray marley hair here.Thank you guys for reading, we hope you have decided by now if this trend is something you would like to try out. Love from black hair stylez.

3 Hair growth treatments

It has been and will always be a struggle to grow that hair long. It is not a secret, that a lot of women go to extremes to grow their hair long. Not to mention how hard weaves and other extensions can be on your edges, which will result in balding. There is no miracle cure, and it takes a lot of work and years to get the length you want. But what if there was a way of boosting the process a bit? We’ve found some of the best treatments for bald spots and hair growth in general. Check it out hair lovers!

Tricomin Therapy Spray

This product should actually be close to a miracle cure. It is a bit pricy, but that you can only expect for a product that actually does the job. A buyer said “I did massive damage from constant coloring and styling with my hair and scalp so i was having trouble with hair loss and dandruff. I tried every medicated shampoo or mouse in regular drug stores but they never seemed to work. A dermotoligist told me about this product and when i used it a week later i saw great improvement. This spray seems to target the scalp, which what I really needed most! Soon my scalp went from an irratating pink color to a healthy white scalp and i noticed baby hair. After a month of using this my hair stopped annoyingly falling out.” This should be a product worth trying. It has a pleasent peppermint smell on top of the great effect. Find it here.

Lipogaine

Lipogaine contains the popular ingredient minoxidil, which is a solution used by doctors on patients who experience hairloss. It is made specifically for women. You should not use this product if you are breastfeeding or pregnant, also be aware if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the solution. Since this is a bit of a heavy product in the sense of strong ingredients, it is best to read the instructions carefully before use. With that said, a person who tried this product said: “Since using this product I have new “babies” as I call them, about 1/2 inch long. I’m amazed at how much is there. It has never been like this before, and even if they don’t grow the full length of my hair, which has never happened before, they fill it in like I can’t believe, and are so much stronger!” Get the product here.

Hair Growth Cayenne and Saw Palmetto

If you want to make sure you get a 100% organic and ecological product without any dangerous ingredients, then this is the one. There are no parabens, and the product is made in the US. It can be used by both men and women. This is the most direct of their products, and can be used alone. But they do also have shampoos and conditioners that can be recommended using while using this treatment. They claim it takes 6-10 weeks before you see new hair growth. It takes a bit longer with this product, but that is because it was made from natural ingredients. With no chemicals to speed up the process, that does make a lot of sense. Here is a users review: “This product is amazing! I wish i had before pictures but the after results are amazing! After the first two weeks of use i started noticing a HUGE difference. Tiny baby hairs started sprouting out like wildfire. Now those same tiny baby hairs have grown about an an inch and a half and as i use this more I notice even more baby hairs coming in. It’s slightly tingly the first few times you use it, but after a few applications your scalp gets desensitized and you will feel little to nothing at all.” Try it out yourself here.

We hope this made it easier to choose the right hair treatment for your hair and scalp. If you have any good or bad experience with these products, do let us know!

You always want your braids to look fresh and shining, therefor the 3rd musthave has to be braid spray. You can apply it every morning in between washes. With this particular spray you avoid build up and it moisturizes while giving your braids that fresh shine! Read our more detailed review here. 

2 BEST braidsprays

There are so many products out there, which makes it so hard to choose what to try next. If it’s your first time wearing braids or twists, it can be even more confusing how to take care of your new hairstyle. We have searched the internet for reviews from bloggers, checked out a lot of forums, and compared that with our own experience. Now we have the results for the two best sprays out there, and in that way narrowed it down to just two sprays to choose from.

1. Better Braids Medicated Braid Spray
   
   This spray from the brand Better Braids, is getting the absolute best reviews. It moisturizes the hair so well, that you actually don’t need to use oil at the same time. Then I guess you think “when it moisturizes that well, it must be a very greasy product” well think again! That is especially why this product is so recommended, it will not give you that greasy hair like a lot of the other products gives you problems with. On top of that it keeps your extensions super shiny, just like you want them. It will also minimize the build up, that we all know is a huge problem. There is one last wonder about this spray. Because it is made in a dual-purpose formula and not just for shine, it gives a great relief when it comes to itching scalp. A very good choice! You can purchase it by clicking here.
2. African Pride Olive Miracle Braid Sheen Spray
   
   This Olive braid spray from African Pride is the other spray we will recommend. It also has great reviews. The difference between this spray and the other, is this spray has a reputation for having a better smell than the other product because of it’s fresh peppermint scent. This spray is also popular because of it being based on olive oil. I think we all know by now that our hair just loves olive oil, but it can be a bit too greasy to put real olive oil on your hair, especially on a daily basis. Here is where this product is a really good choice for dry scalp. It will also give you a good amount of shine, but don’t use it as being a shine spray only. We recommend every other day, to avoid build-up. Purchase by clicking here.

We hope this post helped you in search for the perfect braid spray! They are in the same price range, so what will determine which one you choose is basically your taste. Enjoy!
