Paulo Passani, founder of Ninfas Hair Extensions, developed the line of tape-in extensions with the goal to elevate the experience of extensions from beginning to end. He does this with close attention to every detail of the extensions, from the design of extension itself to that of the packaging. Paulo created Ninfas to enhance the hair's natural beauty while maintaining its integrity. Ninfas, made from 100% human Remy hair, come in a selection of 39 colors from brunettes to blondes and even reds and fashion colors. For a warm natural look, Paulo suggests mixing lighter and darker colors, matching the darker color to the client's actual hair color. The whole extension process can be done in only 15-30 minutes.

Paulo explains one of the most important steps in the extensions process is the consultation. Pay attention to what type of extensions will be best for the client's lifestyle: Does she want to add length, enhance color or add more volume to the hair? Another key tip that Paulo points out is to make sure to follow the "smiley face" shape of the hairline so that the extensions fall properly on the head. Ninfas extensions are made to conform to the head shape to allow hair to move freely and appear natural.

A unique aspect of Ninfas is the mesh that is underneath the tape. The tape is placed on the mesh lining, located between the weft and the hair. The mesh structure, engineered specifically for Ninfas extensions, ensures that the weft stays intact when removed with the Ninfas Removal Solution. This allows for easy removal of the tape and the ability to reuse the extension without damaging it. See how it works in this short clip from our live Pericscope of the extensions process:

Our Managing Editor Alyson Osterman-Kerr recently met with Paulo at Harper Salon to try out Ninfas and we Periscoped the Ninfas extensions process. Aly describes her hair saying, "I have fine hair, so was looking for a way to boost my body and overall volume."(If you missed our live Periscope, be sure to follow @beautylaunchpad on Periscope to keep up with our latest videos.)
