DIPLOMA
This is the ultimate in hair extensions education. Each stylist will be
required to present both a mood board and portfolio to the
Creative Director. The mood board should reflect the hair extensions
work they will be carrying out on the day. During the practical session,
stylists will need to demonstrate formation of the perfect bond, whilst
using creative colour techniques to successfully blend shades. Following
the initial finished look, the stylist will demonstrate and present a hair
up design. The final session is a Trichology and Ethical Sourcing written
questionnaire which forms part of the assessment process.

QUALITY HAIR
Racoon International’s hair is sourced by a well established supplier who
has provided human hair to the wig and extensions industry for
generations, working with us since the company started in 1995.
•Euro Hair: Our award-winning and best selling Euro hair for bonded
extensions, feels as natural as your client’s own hair. It can be
curled, straightened, coloured (up to 6%) and even permed. Our Euro
hair is remy, root point correct with cuticle intact. When using the
hot-bonded system, Euro hair is fully reusable and can be worn for six
months with regular maintenance.
•Vibrant Euro Hair: This high quality hair for bonded extensions is
available in several stunning colours, adding another dimension for
stunning colour placements.
•Standard Hair: Available in Softwave and Deepwave for the
hot-bonded extensions. It needs regular maintenance and is a lower
grade than Euro hair.
•Micro Wefts: These reusable hair extensions have a super fine, ultra
flexible micro header making them discreet to the eye, easy to apply
and comfortable to wear. The premium quality real hair that is used
to make the Micro Weft is root point correct with the cuticle intact.
Micro Wefts can be worn for up to four weeks before being removed,
re-conditioned and re-applied.
QUALITY BONDING
Our unique bonding has been exclusively developed for Racoon
International. It is easy to apply and quick to remove, leaving no trace or
residue. All Racoon International hair extension systems have been
scientifically proven not to damage hair.
20
QUALITY WETLINE
The complete range of multi-award winning Racoon-Xtend wetline
products, has been specially formulated to work in harmony with our
hair extensions and keep your client’s natural hair also looking salon
fabulous.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Why offer Racoon International hair extensions?
Hair extensions can give clients instant, beautiful hair without the need
for chemicals or patch testing.
Is the hair ethically sourced?
We are proud to offer our guarantee of ethical sourcing.
Will hair extensions damage my client’s hair?
Some hair extensions can seriously damage a client’s hair, but our
hair extension systems have been scientifically proven (by an expert
Independent Trichologist) not to damage hair. This is providing
they are applied and maintained by a Racoon International certified
expert and the aftercare guidelines are followed.
Will glue be applied to my client’s hair?
Glue will definitely not be applied. Either gentle, translucent bonds will
be applied or virtually invisible Micro Weft tapes. Both are scientifically
proven not to damage your client’s hair.
Can hair be coloured when wearing hair extensions?
Hair can be coloured but great care must be taken not to get colour onto
either bonds or Micro Weft tapes. High-lights or Lo-lights are best
achieved during maintenance appointments.
22
Is the hair expensive?
Top quality Euro hair starts from just £131.28+VAT for a full head. This is one
reason why we are the UK’s number one in hair extensions.
How discreet are bonded hair
extensions?
Bonded hair extensions are small
and translucent, taking on the
colour of the client’s natural hair.
How discreet are Micro Weft
hair extensions?
Being ‘micro’ in size, the Micro Wefts
are far smaller than most other wefts
and can be worn discreetly with
hair up or hair down.
