The extremely popular 22 year old Harry Potter actress has transformed herself with an entirely new look that will no-doubt have fashion-followers talking for weeks to come. While many of the Hollywood A Listers have recently updated their hair extensions with pastel colors, ombre' highlights or bright wild colors, others remain conservative with their looks, preferring to simply add fullness and length to change up their look.

As celebrities have discovered, hair extensions are a quick and effective way to change your look instantly. Applied correctly, they can also be a savior for women with balding or thinning hair, hair that is too short from medical treatments or which simply won't grow, or those who have fine hair that won't support some of today's hot hair styles.

Here in San Antonio, Texas, hair extensions are becoming more popular than ever as women who have tried clip-in extensions and hair pieces have grown tired of the time-consuming attachment process and the stress they place on the hair. The benefits of hair extensions are many, and an experienced stylist can tailor the extensions to suit your specific needs and wishes.

We all know how rapidly trends can change with hairstyles, and how some just don't seem to get off the ground while others skyrocket with excitement and enthusiasm in the glamour community. Just as we seem to get ahold of the latest advice, we're getting new looks from other sources.

Just today for instance, a leading beauty site came out with a story stating that the new spring trend in hair color will be "softer, richer, more dimensional designs" in every shade.

They described the following examples of color blending that will add dimension and beauty to a wide range of basic hair colors:

"golden copper reds with strawberry, salmon and rose gold highlights"

"soft golden shades positioned next to cooler blonde sections"

"golden brown with milk chocolate highlights"

Reports of soft pastels are being reported as "enticing" to clients. Some of them sound down-right delicious. I especially like the milk chocolate highlights!

It will certainly be interesting to keep a close watch on the types of color that will emerge as we enter our Spring fashion season. The ombre' highlights are still hot, and we're seeing more and more variations created every few weeks as stylists from around the country continue to experiment with the look. San Antonio hair extensions have been influenced by the look, as well as renewed interest in highlights as we approach the warmer weather and change to Spring fashions.

As the predicted "collage of tones" look develops, I'm sure that there will be some predictable and other very unpredicted looks developing, and we'll keep you posted as they do.

Sleek, Smooth and Polished Hair Predicted As HOT Fashion For Spring 2013

Fashion experts are predicting that this spring will reveal hair styles that are long, shiny, sleek and straight. Luckily there are options for those who were not born with this type of hair naturally. Fashion runways are going wild with the look when debuting this year's Spring fashions.

From the Facebook page of
Brazilian Blowout

Brazilian Blowout has been steadily gaining ground as the method of choice for achieving smooth, sleek hair without frizz and fluff that often accompanies hair dried with blowers. It is not a hair straightener, but rather a smoother.

I've found that Brazilian Blowout works great with hair extensions. It not only gives the hair the polished, silky look you crave, it also helps the extensions blend beautifully with your own natural hair. The added benefit is that it can help lay a layer of protection for your new extensions as well.  I find that my clients who add Brazilian Blowout to their quality hair extension regimine enjoy their extensions longer than those that have not.

Contrary to what many believe, having the Brazilian Blowout does not mean that you can only wear your hair stick straight! While it is possible to achieve one of the smoothest, straightest looks you'll see, your hair can still be styled with a curling iron, hot rollers, curlers, etc. to produce waves and/or curls that are free from frizz and unruliness. All this in a fraction of the time.

The Brazilian Blowout is the most innovative and effective professional smoothing treatment in the world! The Brazilian Blowout actually improves the condition of the hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle. The end result is smooth, healthy, frizz-free hair with radiant shine!

Find out what the Brazilian Blowout can do for your hair! Those who try it usually say, "I don't know why I waited so long!" Once you see what it will do for your hair, you'll never want to do without.
