The Different Types Of Human Hair Extensions
If you want a new look, hair extensions are a great way of giving your hair a new lease of life. Hair extensions can lengthen and thicken almost any sort of hair and really re-invent your look. When it comes to hair extensions, the idea is to get the most natural look possible and, whilst synthetic hair is cheaper that real human hair, it often looks fake and tacky. If you want hair that looks and feels like your own then opt for real human hair extensions. You may end up paying more for them but the results are well worth it, and they will almost certainly last longer.
So, you’ve made the decision to get human hair extensions, the next decision you need to make is what sort of human hair do you want. There are three main types of hair that is used in extensions and they typically have advantages and disadvantages.
European hair confusingly does not necessarily come from Europe. It is a category name for hair with a similar structure such as Indian and Latin American hair. European hair tends to be relatively thin and straight, therefore it is important to consider the texture of your own hair before having European hair extensions. European hair can also be quite expensive, more so than synthetic hair as it looks and feels more natural. If you are looking for long, flowing locks then European hair extensions could be for you.
Another popular type of hair used in hair extensions is Asian hair. It is much thicker than European hair but the colour options are naturally fewer. In fact, most Asian human hair extensions come in one colour- dark black. This can be dyed however, depending on your natural hair colour. Before the hair is sold, it is prepared in an acid bath to make it thinner and some of the severe black colour is extracted, meaning that it is more suitable for non-Asians to use it. Human Asian hair extensions are cheaper than human European hair but more expensive than synthetic hair.

Indian human hair is similar to the structure of European hair and is sometimes categorised in the same way. This type of hair is considered the best sort to use in hair extensions because it is of such high quality and because there is a specific process of collecting it. Every sort of human hair is comprised of cuticles, the exterior part that protects the hair, and it is essential that all the cuticles lie in the same direction otherwise the quality is compromised and the price greatly reduced. The cuticles are usually removed to prevent tangling and the hair is then covered in a silicon gel to give a healthy sheen.
If the Indian hair is collected properly, with all the cuticles in the right direction then it is one of the best types of hair to use in extensions. As it has such high quality this also makes it the most expensive. But with hair extensions you really do get what you pay for, as with Indian human hair you are paying for the most natural results.
Whatever type of hair you opt for, make sure it’s real human hair. Human hair looks so much better than synthetic hair and you really can treat it how you would your own hair. This includes styling, washing and dying.

Different Methods of Hair Extensions
Different methods of hair extensions
We all have different ways of coping with our hair and nothing seems to do the job better than hair extensions. To add length and volume or just a change of style… Depending on what kind of look you want accomplished there are various types of hair extensions available in the market. Here we discuss some of them and how you too can incorporate them in your hair.
Strand based hair extensions:
These incorporate a painstaking method of applying each hair extension on small hair sections. This method can be performed either by using heat fusing methods, weaving techniques, metal tube clamping or even using glue. Several hair stylists also prefer using polymers and waxes to attach these hair extensions. Within this technique there are sub-types like glue or bond techniques, non glue techniques etc.
]]>
Glue based techniques:
Within this category there are various methods of hair extensions that are used. For example, Remy type of hair extensions, a modulating technique is used whereby an heat connector is used to fuse the extension onto the hair via a keratin wax bond. This technique uses high grade hair for the extensions and removal can only be performed by hair experts. Other techniques include methods such as where low temperatures are used to merge the hair extensions onto the hair. Using a bond made of protein mould it forms a high tensile bond which is safe for the hair.
Non-Glue based techniques:
In these methods no glue is used to attach the hair extensions to the hair. Instead, tubes, micro links, threads, braiding techniques etc. are used to attach the extensions.
Weft extensions:
These are basically tracks on which the hair extensions are affixed. Then, each of these tracks is applied one by one onto the hair. The hair extensions can be attached to the tracks either by hand or with help from a machine. However, hand made is more preferable as it can be customized to individual needs.
Clip-on extensions:
These are very easy to use and can be simply clipped on to the hair whenever needed. These can also be removed by the wearers themselves.

Different Types of Hair Extensions
Article by D J Griffiths
There are various types of hair extensions available in the market today such as clips, metal tubing, weaves and adhesive based fusion. Clip in hair extensions are the best, they do not damage your hair much. They are also very easy to apply. Clip in hair extensions come with various advantages such as they increase the volume of your hair, give it a better texture and also give you the choice of adding any color you want. You do not need any professional help to clip the hair you can do it on your own. Just separate your hair and start from the nape of your neck. The number of clips should be according to the volume you want to increase in your hair. You simply clip the hair all the way up to your head. For more prominent results you should make your own hair styles with clip in hair extensions. Clip in air extensions can be worn for as long as you want but you should take them out before hitting the bed to go to sleep. Looking at their comfort zone, some people wear them rarely whereas some people wear them daily. Clip in hair extensions do not damage your hair plus they are also very reasonable. They are the only hair extensions which are made out of pure human hair and thus are extremely good in quality. Hair length available is 11 inch to 28 inch. Bonding/sealing is another type of hair extension. This happens by parting your hair and painting with a bonding solution, this result is extending the seal around your hair. It is better to get bonding/sealing done by a professional as it is rather a difficult process. If you do it your self then the attachments would be difficult to perform at home and you can also end up having an untidy look. The third form of extension is the most successful one known as glue hair extensions. Under this method up to 50 strands of human hair extensions are glued with protein glue and then each of these glued hair extensions are attached to your natural hair. Your hair is either parted or you are made to wear a cap having holes in it, from these holes strand of hair come out. On these strands of hair the glued extensions are connected. This hair extension form takes a lot of time to be implemented and cannot be done without professional help. When you decide to get the glue in hair, then make sure your hair is washed and clean or the extensions won’t stick to your hair properly. When it is time to remove your extensions you should again go to a salon as they will know the right technique to soften and crack the extensions, this is done only with the help of fusion remover and some specialist tools. There are also other forms as well, but the recommended one is to have glue in your hair. It is long-lasting, gives your hair a neater and a trendy look. They can also be taken off whenever you want.

Different Types of Hair Extensions and tips
Hair extensions have become one of the most popular hair styling options in the world.
On the surface, hair extensions options seem quite simple. Natural hair can be extended in length or extended in volume. Sometimes hair is extended in length and thickness at the same time.
The two major components involved in hair extensions is:
1. Type of hair used to extend natural hair – 100% human hair, synthetic or mixed.
2. Method of extension – Permanent (reusable extensions for an extended period of time), Semi-permanent (constant wear for 1-3 months), Temporary (clip-ins or tape method).
Types of Hair
Whether human, synthetic or mixed hair is used, it can be used in permanent, semi-permanent or clip-in extension systems.
Human Hair – 100% human hair comes from a wide range of countries although the majority of human hair comes from India. Hair may also originate from China, The Orient, South America and Russia.
Synthetic – Non human hair is used in both permanent. MicroPoint and ProHair are well-known for distributing synthetic hair products.
Mixed Blends – Some systems include a blend of 100% human hair and synthetic.
Method of Extension
1. Professional Application – Hair extensions (all types of hair) are applied by a hairdresser or licensed professional. Depending on the professional, hair may be part of a branded Hair Extension System (Great Lengths, SoCap, etc.,) or the customers may provide the hair.
2. Do It Yourself known in the trade as DIY – Depending on the expertise of the individual that wishes to follow a DIY process, all types of hair can be used as well as all types of methods. Not everyone can successfully adapt a DIY hair extension system just as not everyone can create updos on their own hair.
Attachment/Connection Procedures
When hair is attached it can be done some in a number of ways which include, but are not limited to:
Pinch Braids
* Hand Tied Extensions
* Sewn-in Extensions\Fusion
* Hair Weaving
Fusion Methods
* Glue
* Silicon
* Keratin
* Other
* Microscopic Coupling Shells
Keratin Ball Fusion Methods
Keratin balls are placed in a heating pot. The keratin balls are heated up until they melt and then the add-on hair is dipped into the keratin. You attach the keratin dipped hair to the customer’s hair. Many hair extension experts believe that this method is very damaging to use.
The reason? The melted keratin smears the rest of the hair, even parts that do not have extensions applied. Also, the keratin connection from the add-on hair does not last long. Some hair extension companies do offer and promote keratin ball attachment. This method does have challenges. If you decide to have this method used, be very careful to investigate completely because it is potentially very damaging to your existing hair.
Other types of methods include:
Metal Rings
Clip-ins
Tape
Brands Of Hair Extension Systems
New hair extension companies have continued to enter the crowded hair extension market. One of the oldest and most successful systems was initially provided by Great Lengths Hair Extensions. Great Lengths has continued to evolve their systems and now offer more than one system.
Depending on the company and their system, which is sometimes patented, any hair extension professionals using the system are required to use specific hair provided by the company. Great Lengths does require training of any professionals certified in their system and the Great Length experts must use Great Length hair in their extension operations.
It is impossible to know all the various brands of hair extension systems currently on the market. However, listed below are some of the most popular and well known.
High End Extensions Systems
* Great Lengths
* HairLocs
Medium End
* SoCap
* Short2Long
Low End Systems
* Cinderalla
* Adorable
Detailed Explanations of Each Type of System

Companies that sell “systems” usually require that all professionals utilizing their system must attend approved training and exclusively use their hair and attachment accessories.
Great Lengths
* Standard Hot Fusion Hair Extensions
* Ultrasonic Cold Fusion

Recognized worldwide by beauty, industry professionals as the highest quality extension program available, Great Lengths technology has elevated Human hair enhancement services into the 21st century.
Great Lengths has been featured in many popular magazines including In Style, Marie Claire, Modern Salon, and Entertainment. They are also seen on many famous celebrities such as Shakira, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, J-Lo, and Paris Hilton.
Great Lengths Certified Specialists are trained and coached in the field of Hair Extensions. Application Process of Great Lengths is 100% human hair and comes pre-bonded with a polymer bond (not glue).
The bond is attached to your own natural hair using a high frequency unit that is heated to the same temperature as a curling iron. Great Length strands come in standard thickness as well as 8, 12, 18, & 24 inch lengths.
Where does the hair come from?
Hair comes from the temples in India. The local people give their hair to the temples as a gift to Gods. Great Lengths then purchases the hair in a ponytail form to guarantee that it is root to tip. This ensures that the cuticle layers are all aligned in the same directions. It is then gently processed in the Great Lengths laboratories in Italy.
Why choose Indian hair?
The genetic origin and basic structure of Indian hair is very similar to European hair. It is of exceptional quality because Indian women rarely go to salons for chemical treatments of any kind.
What is the hair made of?
It is 100% human hair, remiss (root to tip), with no silicon on it, which means that the hair has no artificial shine and is tangle-free. The hair is gently processed and de-pigmented. The gentle processing of removing the hair color makes the hair more tolerable to added colors. New color molecules are then put back into the hair. The cuticle layers are still left intact, this ensures that the hair is less prone to be dull. The hair can be permed and colored, and treated just like your own hair.
How does the extension hair attach to the subject’s head?
The hair is pre-bonded with a patented protein polymer. The molecular structure of this bond is compatible to that of human hair, which allows an extremely resilient attachment. Great Lengths hair extension experts use a special machine that uses heat and a high frequency wave to break down the bond, which makes it soft enough to pinch and roll before it re-hardens.
All bonds resemble a cylinder shape after being applied into your own hair making them feel light, easy to wear and are virtually undetectable. How long will they last? Normal bonds last from 4 to 5 months. Fine and ultra fine bonds last from 1 to 3 months.
What colors are available with Great Lengths?
49 colors across the color spectrum, including 14 blonde shades.
What lengths are available?
The most popular lengths in the system are the 30, 40 and 50cm extensions. 60 and 70cm lengths are available by special order from Italy.
What textures of hair are available? Straight hair with a natural wave. Permed to a soft wave, suitable for people with natural wavy hair. Permed to a deep wave, also suitable for people with a deeper natural wavy hair.
What sizes of bonds are available?
The bonds come in two sizes, normal and fine. The bonds can also be customized into micro-bonds depending on a clients requirements.
How many bonds are needed?
The amount of extensions added to your hair will depend on the desired affect. Please refer to our price list
How long does the Great Length Extension process take?
The application takes from 1 to 4 hours, depending on the number of extensions.
How do I treat hair extensions?
Great Lengths hair performs just like any hair on your own head. This means that you can curl it with curling tongs, rollers, or a flat iron, whatever you desire.
When should the hair extensions be removed?
It is recommended that the extensions be removed every 3 to 5 months, depending on the bond sizes and a person’s natural hair loss process.
Do they damage the natural hair?
While other hair extension systems use techniques like welding, waxing, gluing or knotting, which strain and very often damage your hair to a high degree, Great Lengths system is based on a much more gentle principle which does not damage your own hair during application or removal.
What results can be achieved with extensions?
Length
For people who want to instantly update their styles with long hair. Also for those people who find that there own hair is too fine or over-processed to be able to grow it to any longer lengths.
Volume
A great option for quickly adding volume, texture or depth.
Great Lengths Cold Fusion
Cold Fusion uses no heat. All hair is attached to your hair using an ultrasonic wave. This technique works exceptional well with very fine or thin hair
SoCap
The three different SoCap types are:
* Original SoCap
* Euro SoCap
* SoCap USA
The original SoCap company was owned by a family. At one point the original owners broke into three separate companies. Since the SoCap name had already achieved public awareness, the three owners agreed to keep the name of the company SoCap but differentiate according to Original, Euro and SoCap USA.
All three SoCap systems basically work in a similar way.
The SoCap system is a hair extension line based on fusion as the method of application.
Hair is attached in bundles with Keratin tips and these tips are attached to your hair in a similar fashion to that of Great Lengths.
The hair is of average quality but makes for a nice attachment for bold colors that allow you to show off your free spirit. This technique comes in many colors and textures. It is priced more affordably than many other hair extension lines due to hair quality and the average duration the extension lasts.
If you are a budget oriented individual, this technique might be the one for you.
All three of the SoCap systems have slightly different bonding tips and hair quality. If you are unsure which SoCap is the best for you and your budget, find a hair extension expert that works in all the SoCap systems and then ask to see samples and finished images from all three. A good hair extension expert will help you decide which one of the many different extension types and styles would be best for you.
SoCap can be a good medium priced option depending upon your hair type and budget.
HairLocs
HairLocs are a safe, re-usable, cold application, using no glue, keratin or heat. HairLocs is attached to the native hair using unique microscopic coupling shells. The HairLocs system is considered the safest extensions available on the market today for most types and textures of hair. It is equally safe for Caucasian and African-American Hair.
HairLocs can also be used for men or women with thinning hair problems to add fullness and length with minimal influence on the thinning pattern of the natural hair.
Because HairLocs is attached with coupling shells, the HairLocs hair can be easily maintained and re-used. Since it does not use any glue, keratin or heat, HairLocs is least damaging to the natural hair. Many hair extension experts prefer HairLocs because of its easy maintenance.
The Hairlocs Hair Extension System starts with 100% human hair from Europe. With Hairlocs, there is no tension, stretching, chemicals or heat used during the application or the take down process.
Hairlocs extensions are always applied behind the hairline and away from the natural partings. The unique coupling shells are color matched so they blend naturally with the natural hair and are virtually undetectable.

Cinderalla Hair
This is a pre-tipped hair extension system. The add-on hair is pre-tipped with keratin or silicon and is sold “raw”. It is similar to Lugo’s, Sensational and Adorable. These types of offerings are not necessarily related to a formal “system” such as Great Lengths, SoCap or HairLocs.
Cinderella Hair has a wide-spread reputation for lower quality hair. Low quality hair does not last long. There are also many pre-tipped hair extensions with keratin or silicon on the market, or that are sold raw, that others try to pass off as a technique that are not part of a technique. Many are not the best of quality.
Dream Catchers

Microchet uses hair that comes with its ends in the shape of hooks. These hooks are attached to you hair using a threading technique.
The advantage to the hooks is that hair feels light with no glues or metals. After two to three months the extension will become looser because your hair grows. The extension hair can be removed by simply cutting the thread. Usually about 40% of the Microchet hair can be reused after removing.
There is a no heat or harsh chemicals involved in this technique. There is no pulling or stress to your own hair. It is a gentle technique that is available today.

Numerous hair weaving systems are available.
The Interlocking Hair Weaving System
This is done without any foundation whatsoever, which means no braids, no poles, no cornrows tracks, no machines, no pre-tracking, no laser, and no bonding (glue).
Wrap Netweaving System.
This system compliments the Interlocking Hair Weaving system and is combined to provide a competitive weave on the market.
The first step in this system is to interlock the hair. A conditioning scalp treatment is applied and is designed to prevents tresses from getting dry under the netting. The net is then stitched onto the Interlocking System. Then the weft-hair is sewed onto the netting.
The new weft-hair is cut and styled to blend with the natural hair. The goal is to provide a layered, feathered look, with absolutely no chops or visible lines. Partial weaves which provide increased fullness and desired length are available.
Standard hair weaving solutions basically attaches hair to a braid which is created using the natural hair as a base. The advantages of these techniques are cost and time required to apply. Works great for African American women.
Lace Front Systems With Hair Extensions
Custom and Hand Made Lace Front Units are a popular option used in combination with hair extensions.
A lace front unit is often combined with hair extensions.
Each lace front wig unit is individually tailored to the individual’s head lines and shape. Used for the frontal part of the head, many people then add hair extensions to the sides or back to complete a sexy look.
This technique is especially great for people who have hair damage from overused hair weaves, and people who suffer effects from medical hair loss.
The Lace Front Wig technique is used extensively by the stars but you would never know it. Stars such as Gwen Stephanie and Tyra Banks are known to use this procedure.
Many people use a partial lace front with one of the hair extension techniques for the back. This is a popular combination.
Custom Hair Extension Sequencing
A Custom Hair Sequence Process is one of the ultimate Hair Replacement and Hair Extension solutions available in the industry.
The process in short is similar to a Hair Integration system that is custom made but this process blends the native hair with 100% Human Remi Hair.
The unit has specially placed holes that allow for the native hair to be mixed in with the fine hair unit. This allows hair to look natural and free flowing. Special micro-weave process is then used to hold the unit on special edges to secure the hair.
This process holds the hair better than any clips or locks that might be used in other systems. The advantage of doing it this way is that the hair in the locking area does not get damaged.
Each unit is custom made. All pieces are made from exclusive hair sources in India and Europe that supply similar pieces to many of the top stars in the film and music industry.
Depending on care, these pieces can last from 1 year with regular care. This process is not inexpensive, and is one of the more expensive processes that can be performed. Most custom work has a starting price in the ,500 – ,500 starting prices.

Over the past ten years I have received many questions from consumers interested in hair extension system. Unfortunately there is no finite answer to the questions.
There are many opinions by both hair extension experts and hair extension consumers about which extension methods are least damaging to natural hair.
Many extension experts and wearers swear by the hand tied method, which is the most expensive, but feels the most natural and can last the longest. This is especially true if the hand tied extension is retied on a regular basis as the natural hair grows.
Hand tied extensions with 100% European human hair can feel the most natural, look the most natural but be the very most expensive. This is the method that many of the top celebrities use but a head of hand tied, 100% human hair can cost up to ,000 or more.
Most will agree that hair extensions made with 100% human hair from Europe feels the most natural and looks the best. This type of hair also costs the most.
The other methods such as hot glue and locking systems that use tiny locks, are considered safe for your hair although not as safe as the hand tied method.
Bottom line, everything depends on the quality of the hair used, the expertise of the hair extension expert that apply the extensions and what you are ultimately willing to spend.

How Are Eyebrow Hair Transplant Procedures Different?
Article by David Riewe
It is not unusual for men to have hair transplant surgery for male pattern baldness. Even female baldness is discussed on commercials for hair transplant clinics. A less common use of hair transplant surgery is to replace eyebrow hair. However, this procedure is quite different from other hair transplant surgeries.
It is important to replace eyebrow hair that has fallen out because it is such an integral part of the human face. People realize that men have receding hair lines and balding on the tops of their heads. It is not out of the ordinary to see a woman with thinning hair. Yet, look at a person without eyebrows and the effect will be disturbing. Eyebrows are just expected.
Some people have hair transplant surgery to their eyebrows because the hair has simply fallen out over time. Others have thyroid disease or other diseases that affect their hair. A certain type of alopecia results in eyebrow loss. Excessive plucking can be a problem, too. Burns, tattoos, and infections can cause the eyebrow hair to fall out, and some people just are not able to grow eyebrows at all.
Hair transplant surgery for eyebrows is different because eyebrows are different from scalp hair. For one thing, the hair has a distinct growth pattern with each section of the eyebrow pointing in a different direction. The hair forms a sharp angle so that it grows out and then flat to the face. Scalp hair has a much gentler angle.
Eyebrow hairs do not grow in the same type of follicular units as scalp hair. Rather than growing in groups of one to four hairs, they are simply single strands of hair. You can see this if you look carefully in the mirror at your eyebrows. Hair transplant methods have to take this fact into account.
When doctors do hair transplant surgery to replace eyebrows, they have to make sure that they put the hairs in so that they will point in the natural hair direction. For this, the surgeons use very fine gauge needles. They must also use this to help the hair to lie flat.
Because the eyebrow hair is made of individual hairs, hair transplant surgery must involve creating those single units of hair. To do this, hair is taken from the scalp, just as in other hair transplant procedures. Then, the follicular units are divided into individual hair grafts. This is done with a stereomicroscope.
Inserting these micro-grafts is a very tricky business. Creating the correct angles is difficult. If the patient does not have straight hair, her curly hair must be inserted by rotating it so that it lies even with the curve of the brow that is being made.
One drawback to eyebrow hair transplant surgery is that eyebrow hair, which usually does not grow, will grow and need to be cut because it is actually scalp hair. Also, when the wounds heal, the lay of the eyebrows may change and not be so natural.
However, if you need hair transplant surgery to replace your eyebrows, it is usually a much better alternative than other choices you have. Eyebrows drawn in with eyebrow pencil do not look natural at all, and the option of going without eyebrows is unthinkable to many people. Hair transplant surgery may just be your best bet.

Different Hair Types Require Different Hair Care Methods
Article by Benedict Smythe
Different people from many different countries have varying types of hair. This could range from the curly to the straight ones; the blondes and the brunettes. The shapes and colors of hair also vary greatly.
People inherit their parents’ type of hair–this is simple science. But going beyond genetic contribution, other factors could be the geographical location of people around the globe. Hair color and texture could also be altered especially when there are interracial marriages. This mixture of races results into varied hair types and hair colors. As history has proven, people marry outside of their race and this is when the mixture of different genes starts to produce unique hair types.
The U.S., a diverse nation, is one of the best examples when it comes to racial mixtures. In this country, there are people who have ash blond hair; black hair; red hair; silver hair; ash-colored hair; etc.
The Basic Hair Types as Classified by Scientists
Scientists have tried to classify hair types in relation to the three earliest races:
* Asian people who hail from the Orient often have ruler straight hair. The color of most Asians’ hair is black. Among the 3 races, this is the one that best resists damage.
* The Africans from Africa. The climate and other environmental factors in that continent made Africans curly-haired. Their hair color is commonly black and the structure of the strands is twisted.
* The Caucasoid group has the highest percentage of mixture among the three racial groups. Contemporary Caucasoids are highly varied even if they come from the same ancestral group. These people range from the north-west Europeans to the Indian subcontinent. The hair color could be from very pale (blond) to deep black.
Classification According to Shape
* Straight hair * Curly/Frizzy hair * Wavy hair
People with curly, frizzy or wavy hair often need special care as compared to people with straight hair. But all hair types require basic hair care such as shampooing, using conditioners, and combing. Among the hair types, straight hair is the type that is likely to break easily as it can stretch especially when it’s wet. Blow drying would often lead to brittleness and, eventually, breakage.
Most teenagers observe that their hair becomes oily upon reaching the period of adolescence. This is because adolescence spurs sebaceous glands to become active. Along with acne, oily hair is also just a temporary part of every teenager’s life. Oily scalp often occurs in people who have straight hair.
At the other end of the spectrum, if hair becomes dry, it is best to wash it just once a week. Most curly and wavy-haired people are prone to dryness so these people should choose their hair care products well. Conditioning is a must and the recommended shampoos are those with jojoba oil.
Sometimes, it is not just the texture of the hair which causes dryness or too much oil on the scalp. Having rigorous activities can also cause oily hair or over exposure to the sun can cause photo damage to one’s hair.
Hair care is quite basic to all hair types; the only distinction is the choice of hair care products that would suit the individual.

The Different Types Of Human Hair Extensions.
Article by suzlar
If you want a new look, hair extensions are a great way of giving your hair a new lease of life. Hair extensions can lengthen and thicken almost any sort of hair and really re-invent your look. When it comes to hair extensions, the idea is to get the most natural look possible and, whilst synthetic hair is cheaper that real human hair, it often looks fake and tacky. If you want hair that looks and feels like your own then opt for real human hair extensions. You may end up paying more for them but the results are well worth it, and they will almost certainly last longer.
So, you’ve made the decision to get human hair extensions, the next decision you need to make is what sort of human hair do you want. There are three main types of hair that is used in extensions and they typically have advantages and disadvantages.
European hair confusingly does not necessarily come from Europe. It is a category name for hair with a similar structure such as Indian and Latin American hair. European hair tends to be relatively thin and straight, therefore it is important to consider the texture of your own hair before having European hair extensions. European hair can also be quite expensive, more so than synthetic hair as it looks and feels more natural. If you are looking for long, flowing locks then European hair extensions could be for you.
Another popular type of hair used in hair extensions is Asian hair. It is much thicker than European hair but the colour options are naturally fewer. In fact, most Asian human hair extensions come in one colour- dark black. This can be dyed however, depending on your natural hair colour. Before the hair is sold, it is prepared in an acid bath to make it thinner and some of the severe black colour is extracted, meaning that it is more suitable for non-Asians to use it. Human Asian hair extensions are cheaper than human European hair but more expensive than synthetic hair.
Indian human hair is similar to the structure of European hair and is sometimes categorised in the same way. This type of hair is considered the best sort to use in hair extensions because it is of such high quality and because there is a specific process of collecting it. Every sort of human hair is comprised of cuticles, the exterior part that protects the hair, and it is essential that all the cuticles lie in the same direction otherwise the quality is compromised and the price greatly reduced. The cuticles are usually removed to prevent tangling and the hair is then covered in a silicon gel to give a healthy sheen.
If the Indian hair is collected properly, with all the cuticles in the right direction then it is one of the best types of hair to use in extensions. As it has such high quality this also makes it the most expensive. But with hair extensions you really do get what you pay for, as with Indian human hair you are paying for the most natural results.
Whatever type of hair you opt for, make sure it’s real human hair. Human hair looks so much better than synthetic hair and you really can treat it how you would your own hair. This includes styling, washing and dying.
