Why is Joseph Mourad known as the king of hair extensions in Sydney and why do people travel across the planet to have him thicken and lengthen their hair?

Joseph says the reason people call me the king of extensions is because I achieve the impossible and make their hair dreams come true, which excites clients every single time. The standard of my work is like driving the latest sports convertible merc in comparison to a 30-year-old rusty Mazda.

Joseph believes it is a gift in which he has been blessed with which comes naturally, just like Elvis with his music and like Michael Jackson with his dancing.

Joseph mentions of stars that have had the same hair extensions:

Jennifer Anniston

Jennifer Lopez

Whitney Houston

Julia Roberts

Elle McPherson

Angelina Jolie

Ever wonder how Madonna can have short hair one day and long the next? That’s because she’s just one of the many celebrities who chooses to have long hair through hair extensions rather than go through the painstaking and sometimes ugly process of growing it. Hair extensions look completely natural and you can go from short to long hair or have extremely thick hair, all in a matter of hours.

Joseph Mourad’s Hair and Beauty in Double Bay, Sydney has been providing hair Extensions services for five years. He is very particular and uses only the best quality human hair from India and can match it to your existing hair colour or you can choose any colour you want. It can be attached to any kind of hair and any length longer than 2cm. It is attached strand by strand.

The way it works is that each strand has about 20 hairs in it. They are attached to the natural hair, very close to each other so they look totally natural. It’s done by an ultrasonic vibration machine. A synthetic keratin, which is like the keratin found in hair acts as glue. The ultrasound softens the keratin and it grips onto the natural hair and blends into it and looks like its part of it.

A full head can take from 100 to 300 strands depending on the required thickness. The process of attaching the extensions can take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours.

The first question that springs to mind is: Does it damage the natural hair? Mourad says emphatically, no. it doesn’t create any damage to your natural hair. In fact, it keeps the natural hair in its original condition. There is no special care, just how you would care for your natural hair; you wash, condition, comb and blow-dry it. If you are rough on your natural hair you will damage it and the same rules apply with extensions.

Extensions will last between 6 months and a year and eventually will fall out or can be removed. They are removed using surgical spirit, which is available from the chemist. This isn’t a harsh chemical and wont damage the hair.

Once the extensions have been attached you can treat them as normal. They can be combed, blow-dried, you can go swimming, and you can even have them coloured and cut if desired.

Many people seek out extensions for several reasons. Long hair will take three to four years to grow and until then can look pretty awful, with that “growing out” look. Hair extensions are a perfect way of disguising this, while continuing to grow your natural hair. Also, many people who don’t necessarily want long hair but want thick hair seek hair extensions. Then of course some people just want a new look and they want it now!

If you are seeking hair extensions Mourad recommends you visit someone experienced. It’s important to seek out somebody experienced. If the extensions aren’t attached properly a lot can fall out after two or three months. Also, the bonding can be thick and bulky which can be annoying when combing or sleeping. If it’s not done properly it can put strain on the natural hair and can tangle easily.

Also Mourad says it’s vital for a good result to start with good quality extensions. “A lot of people are doing extensions with bad quality hair. You want hair that’s not over treated, brittle and limp. I use only shiny, healthy hair.”

I then cut my own hair for awhile but after some time again decided to try the hair extensions as I really wanted longer, prettier hair and I was determined this could happen for me. I had free consultations for pinch braids type hair extensions. I was absolutely shocked at the price they wanted plus they looked ridiculous. You could see these braids perfectly clear that were attached to the extension hair. It is such a dumb look that I could not believe that people actually wear these.

Then I checked out hair bonding. I watched carefully how they did that. It is basically an adhesive that attaches the hair extension to your skull. Again, I felt uncomfortable with this method because I could see that this could easily cause damage to my own hair again. It even tears out your hair at the roots.

Well, you would think I would give up by now but I continued my journey to find something I could do to have gorgeous natural hair.

I then checked out hair fusion where little groups of your own hair are attached to little groups of extension hair by an adhesive. My common sense told me ‘NO WAY’. The thin hair I already had would be damaged and thinner. At this time, I was hearing reports of women who had used this system and the nightmares they had experienced. Could this be why Britney Spears shaved her head?

I still proceeded ahead thinking there has to be a better way. I heard about plastic tubes that attach your hair to the hair extension by melting the plastic to your hair using a hot tool. Then when you take them out after 3-4 months by putting on a solution, they are supposed to come loose and come out. Well, I thought I would try that. I was apprehensive but did it anyway. I guess I was getting desperate for something to work. This was expensive too and had to be maintained every 3-4 months.

Shortly, by total fluke, I happened to run across a whole different type of human hair extension and I knew instantly there was no more searching needed. THIS WAS IT! WOW! I was so excited.

It has taken me 11 years and now 3 years later and I will not use any other method of natural hair extensions. This is so great. This human hair extension takes about 1 minute to put on so you can style your hair quickly and be ready for any event whether work, shopping, wedding and look beautiful. I put mine on every morning and take it off at the end of the day. It is so simple to do that even a kindergartner could do it. Best of all, it is comfortable, secure, no damage to my hair, a small fraction of the price, and made from human hair so blends perfectly with my own hair.. I have very little upkeep and I can do this myself too. It is such a high quality. And on top of it, my own hair is becoming healthy. I can even have different lengths and styles for variety.

It is so wonderful having gorgeous hair and getting attention wherever I go from men and women both because of the beautiful hair I have. It makes me look and feel good about myself.

Hair can be thin and baby fine at birth and naturally appear un-healthy. Not only do we encounter stress, lack of proper nutrients, bad lifestyle habits but hair naturally breaks and re-grows so we need to increase the strength of the hair follicle plus encourage our body to grow new hair.

First our care of our hair is a primary issue. Treat your hair like you WANT it to grow. This is why a natural hair extensions can help us with this. Why shampoo your hair every day and strip it of its natural lubricants? Yes, I know. It looks dirty, right? So, a natural hair extensions can cover up most of your own hair. Instead shampoo your own hair every 3 to 5 days. In fact if your scalp is dry, you might want to go longer. You will find this amazing and notice a definite thickening of the follicle. Research shampoos and conditions and find ones that encourage growth with no breakage. You might even try to contact a ‘hair growth’ clinic to ensure you get the quality you need. Stay away from cheapies. Treat your hair like it is fragile when you shampoo and condition it. Be gentle and use proper massage techniques

Give your hair a ‘rest’. When you are sick, you go to bed so your body can heal itself. Your hair is obviously not healthy so it is sick and needs it’s rest for a time. Again, treat your hair like it is fragile. There are proper massages, proper combings and even other tricks to implement to enhance your good care of your hair. Using natural hair extensions will allow you to give your own hair the rest it needs so it can become healthy again.

Stress and bad lifestyle habits might be things you cannot or dont want to change but you can still grow healthy hair. It just might take a little longer. Using the tips herein will still benefit your hair.

Nutrients are another major factor impacting our hair health. Our lives are so busy there is just no way to eat properly or to take massive amounts of herbs, vitamins, etc. so keep this simple. We can use Vitamin E which is for our skin, hair and nails. A decent amount of 1,000 mg a day should be enough. The other major vitamin is an un-tested theory that has worked well for alot of people and that is a prenatal vitamin. Vitamins that are coated are poorly processed by the body as the acid in the stomach has to firstly dissolve the coating which, by this time, the body is disposing of the vitamin leaving it without the desired affect of the vitamin. Prenatal vitamins usually are not coated and contain extra amino acids which are for hair, skin and nails. I have been told that we cannot overdose on vitamins so they should not hurt us as our body will just simply eliminate the excess. Yes, men too have successfully taken these as it appears there is nowhere else you can get all the ingredients in a prenatal vitamin in one place.

Drink at least one bottle of bottled water per day. Your body needs water for growth and health. If you can handle 3 or a day, that is even better but make sure it is at least one.

I then tried many different processes to achieve my goal to constantly be creating a look and look really good. My own hair is too tedious to maintain and style so I have resorted to artificial things to make my life easier only to find that alot of the proecesses destroy my own hair and can even make me bald. Also, some of the processes have to be redone quite frequently so become time consuming and is so costly that I cannot afford them at this time. A basic wig is out of the question as they are so false in looks. I want the natural look and the same as my own hair. I realized I need something quick, easy and very affordable that lasts a very long time so after hunting hard I discovered a new product which is from human hair, can match my own hair so is natural in looks, is easy to use in only about 5 minutes, requires very little upkeep, and lasts as long as I take care of it (a year, 2 or more?) so is extremely cheap for me. What a way to go! I can go out for the evening, attend a job interview, go to a wedding, or whatever I need to do and prepare my hair in about 5 minutes. This is because I discovered the new Natural Hair Extensions which are only now really coming into the marketplace and since it is human hair, the upkeep is only that I shampoo and condition it. But the best thing is, I can now treat my very own hair the way it should be treated which is to only shampoo and condition it. I don’t have to use damaging glue, braids, clips or anything else that can break my hair. This creates such a sexy look and a more professional look that I am shocked. I definitely have people looking at me and watching me that never occurred before. My first impression image is so good that guys even smile at me more, flirt with me more, and talk to me more. This is so amazing!! I also have so much more time left over to use for my family and friends plus I am left with more money that can be spent on groceries, car repairs or whatever emergencies arise. This is a phenomenal great discovery for me.
