| Natural Hairstyling |
African-American women who choose not to straighten or style their hair with chemicals or heat will often gravitate to “natural” curly or other hairstyling options such as braiding. |
| Non-Surgical Hair Replacement |
Any method of replacing hair loss with a wig, extensions or a combination of methods that does not include surgery. The technology in all these methods now provides results that look more natural and are easier to maintain than ever before. Non-surgical hair replacement becomes necessary when hair follicles are already dead and would not respond to Propecia, minoxidil or laser hair therapy treatments; if you are not interested in hair transplant surgery; or if the hair loss condition is temporary. Also called Hairpiece, Hair System or Wig |
| Notching |
A cutting technique whereby a hairstylist cuts in irregular “choppy” or notched ends including the fringe line (your bangs) to visually plump up the look and help soften the long, flat look of fine hair on an oval face shape. |
