BALMAIN PARIS INTROS hairXpression TO U.S.:
FIRST COUTURE HAIR EXTENSIONS COLLECTION...
AMERICA’S ULTIMATE AT-HOME HAIR FASHION ACCESSORY.

Shape Up Your Summer Chic!

When it comes to couture-inspired hair fashion extensions, Balmain Paris has just redefined the U.S. retail marketplace for tweens, teens, and way beyond the twenties!.

For those seeking high-end style enhancement that’s easy, fun, fast and affordable, hairXpression by Balmain Paris is the popular European-just turned-American hair accessory ‘darling’ that defies those skimpy status quo clip-ins. With these versatile new ‘Memory® Hair’ extensions featuring 20% more thickness per square inch and a patented Soft Blend Edge (‘invisible integration’), these cool couture clip-ins offer endless styling options for shaping up your hot Summer chic in seconds for work, parties, vacation travel and the beach! Color pieces don’t fade. Repeated thermal styling no problem. Style locks in...hair extensions (even when wet) ‘remember’ their shape despite Summer weather and daily dips in the pool.

Any Style...Any Time!

Until hairXpression by Balmain Paris, one could only dream of having easy at-home access to those fabulous designer hair extensions – the out-of-reach luxe variety that appear on runway mega-models and celebs in fashion mags. Now, imagine this kind of fashion at your fingertips…being able to change your hairstyle in seconds at any time like those fast backstage fashion changes! Show up in longer luxurious soft waves one day…add height and volume to shorter hair the next...or create accents and interest within a really blah ‘needs help’ section. Mix up and match colors or highlights that blend beautifully with your own or go for bolder contrasts inspired by your own fashion imagination.

What’s Different About hairXpression Hair Extensions?

Bottom line, hairXpression by Balmain Paris is the finest and the first U.S. retail collection of couture-designed hair extensions – and then there’s all the rest! And whether it’s Summer or any season, you always know that all hairXpression extensions take their fashion cue from the most current runway collections -- and their designer quality, high performance and techno cues from Balmain’s long-established R&D laboratories in Europe for innovative couture hair extension systems.

Here’s how the newest technology ‘shapes up’ with the most current styles for lasting luxe and natural-fit form. It’s a fresh new fashion take on techno just for hair extensions!

MEMORY® HAIR:

EASY CARE...EASY WEAR!
Balmain’s new R&D technology enables these clip-in hair extensions to ‘memorize’ their shape. Even when wet (humidity, rain, pool, after shampoo), extensions simply dry back into the original shape you gave them! Try shaping with a curling or straightening iron and watch the style ‘hold’! hairXpression extensions ‘take to’ thermal styling beautifully.
 
  Styling Tip: Cool down in the new shape for 30 seconds before brushing.
   

SOFT BLEND EDGE:

TOUCH THE TECHNOLOGY!
This innovative new technique features patented technology for ‘invisible integration’; enjoy a silky smooth ‘undetectable’ finish and natural-form fit.

Example: Two strips (fringes) of hair can be placed next to each other, not on top of each other. This makes the advanced system of hairXpression about 70% finer and thinner than other systems allowing the designed-in natural ‘curves’ to hold 20% more hair per square inch for perfect ‘integration’. hairXpression extensions conform comfortably to the shape of the head
 

Styling Tip:

Backcomb the hair for a stronger hold of the clips.

 The hairXpression collection by Balmain Paris offers a full spectrum of popular lengths and color choices within the hair extension system. The complete range consists of four style models, each featuring a variety of lengths and widths in fringes, plus a wide choice of color and highlighted hues to either blend with your own color or to create contrast for a special style accent or fun occasion.
