Is it me or is J.Lo’s hair on American Idol recently reminiscent of Beyonce’s honey brown curls? Despite having different complexions and styles, both women know how to rock that loose, long, blown out style so that it’s so effortlessly feminine. I use Prota Body Wave’s hair clip on extensions when I want to make my own hair a little bit longer, a little bit fuller, a LOT more pop-star sensational!

You can apply Ultima hair by bonding, sewing, bonding, or clipping on to your existing hair. For the best results, we suggest discussing each method with a stylist ahead of time. For more info, check out the Ultima FAQs.

One of our favorite beauty bloggers, Afrobella reported on the benefits of vinegar for skin and hair. With Ultima hair, just a few drops of vinegar added to a spray bottle filled with water will help remove any styling product build-up and clarify each and every strand. Plus, a spritz of vinegar will help keep your scalp clean and healthy no matter your hair style.

To use vinegar on your hair, apple cider vinegar is your best bet with a pH balance closest to natural hair.  Be sure to dilute the vinegar in water before applying to your Ultima hair and natural hair, at a ration of 4 parts water to 1 part vinegar. For more vinegar tips, read this Black Girl with Long Hair post.

One way to work with your Ultima organic protein hair is olive oil. After using pH balanced shampoo and conditioner, you can set your style with a light mist of olive oil instead of harsh hairspray. Here are a few reasons why olive oil mist benefits your Ultima protein hair:

1.  Olive oil nourishes both your Ultima hair and natural hair, enriching both with healthy fats and vitamin E.

2. Protects hair from alcohol-based styling products AND heat styling tools like hair dryers and curling irons.

3. Can extend the life of your investment, making Ultima protein hair last even longer

4.  A light mist can replace the need for hair spray or holding products and set your overall look until you need to restore.

5. Brings out shine and gleam to styles from straight to curly, enhancing highlights and lowlights.

You can even make your own olive oil mist using a kitchen mister and light olive oil. Remember to keep your mist light!
