Gone are the days of one chemical cure-alls regardless of skin color. We no longer rely on out dated cultural stereotypes when addressing how to “tame” a particular head of hair. Technology and society have come a long way, and now every skin color under the rainbow, with its accompanying hair type, is being treated in a unique way by stylists all over the world.

This months featured article from Launchpad, gets to the heart of this issue. Here’s a clip of the article by Jeryl E. Spear and Alyson Osterman

Twirling textures are coiling their way into the hearts—and services—of stylists. What lies beneath those pretty manes is anyone’s guess these days, as America’s melting pot continues to serve up an ever-growing blend of multicultural diversity. To keep pace with the spiraling array of textures, ambitious stylists are doing more than just honing their chemical skills; they’re becoming purveyors of products that can make even a fierce ’fro do their silky bidding.

Fortunately for beauty pros working in the “mix,” haircare manufacturers have come a long way since the days when a crevasse divided “black” and “white” hair. Today, with skin colors ranging from milky white to ebony and every luscious shade in between, forward-thinking stylists are addressing the needs of multicultural hair through its texture, and not the client’s ethnicity. And like today’s state-of-the-art skincare products that can make the complexion look and behave beautifully, multicultural haircare products are also leveraging the latest high-tech and naturally derived.

Park City, UT (Donna Bella Hair) January 15, 2008 – Hair Extension boutique Donna Bella Milan has announced the limited availability of the Kera and I-Link Grade B 100% human hair extension line at prices far below market value.

In response to the dramatically reduced price, Donna Bella Milan President Derrick Porter noted, “We’ve set the low price point as a special offering for new stylists or those new to hair extensions that just want to give it a try without spending a lot of money on hair. We don’t feel that there’s a deal anywhere like it on the net.”

Both the Kera and I-Link Grade B 100% human hair sell regularly for $20.00 per pack. Porter confirmed that the sale price, effective while supplies last, is just $8.95 / pack.
As with all Donna Bella products, each pack contains hair made from 100% human remy hair. Each pack includes 10 strands per pack with each strand weighing a little over .50 grams per strand.

On the specific uses for this style, Porter said. “We have brought Kera and I-Link hair extensions in for stylists to use on clients with thin hair as well as for stylists who don’t want to have to purchase 25 - 50 strands per pack, which is typically the average, as this dramatically increases the overall price.” This sale is on while hair extension supplies last.

This sale of hair extensions will be available starting January 15, 2008 from Donna Bella’s online store at http://www.donnabellahair.com/shop/html/Category-6-0.html or direct through their call-center at 1-888-HAIR-KIT.
