What will be the best hair extensions?
Buying good quality hair extensions can be extremely confusing, difficult and time consuming, and buying the incorrect type or overly processed or treated hair can be a very costly mistake.
With more and more women all over the world loving and sometimes needing the aid of extensions, I felt it more important than ever to explain the fundamentals, of buying quality hair extensions, to help women become more informed and in a position to understand the hair extensions industry, in order to make informative choices and to stop losing money and time on sub-standard hair extensions and or application methods.
Having great Hair extensions is incredible and may even be life changing one who has struggled with fine or limp locks or which simply doesn't grow long and luscious like they wish it could, hair extensions can offer the greatest solution to their hair woes.
I've first hand knowledge regarding all application methods, processing procedures and origins and after 14 years of being a senior extension artist and master trainer in all methods of attachment I would like to share the some in depth knowledge to help you purchase the extensions of your dreams, so you never have to be worried about tangling, damage to your hair or uncomfortable and even painful poor hair extensions again!
So lets begin. I've broken this short article into several key categories. Please go through the steps carefully. This can help to inform you and help you with asking the correct questions when purchasing hair extensions from your dealer.
Learn about where your own hair extensions REALLY come from!
CAN I VISIT THE SUPPLIER? Are you aware much about your supplier/extension artist?
Are you currently really comfortable handing over a huge selection of dollars to someone you "hope' will sell you a good product?
Please don't make the mistake of simply thinking that if you receive a sample of the hair it will mean you can be buying good hair in the foreseeable future... many suppliers simply have a the right hair samples and then they send out bad hair after an order is manufactured. You should see several packets first to ensure the hair will be top quality on a CONSISTENT basis... especially if you are likely to buy it long term.
STEP 1
Can you visit the supplier?
Be sure your own hair extensions provider/artist comes with an 'open door' policy. Even if they are too much away... to visit... do they allow the public to start to see the hair before they buy?
Can they show you the different type of hair before you buy it?
Do they have examples of non-remy and real remy hair showing you in order to be 100% sure the product they are selling may be the real thing?
Yes I know all this effort seems like a lot but it is important especially if you intend on purchasing or having hair extensions regularly.
If the provider hides behind a website... you can be confident they also have something to cover up
European and Russian grade hair
Growing hair for extensions is serious work. Some people who grow hair must follow a special diet to make sure that their hair will be healthy, well nourished and of the greatest quality.
STEP 2
What is the origin of the hair?
European and Russian grade hair can result from any country where in fact the desired hair structure could be collected. It really is simply impossible for all of the European and Russian hair supplies ahead in one or two regions for this reason the words European and Russian hair which might once upon a time have already been more country exclusive is currently a loose term for human hair that is compatible with the greater hair extensions industries consumers.
Most blond hair sold as extensions is extremely expensive and simply inaccessible because of rising demand in hair extensions in the resent years, therefore natural blonde hair extensions have become hard to come by, so one would need to assume that almost all hair sold in lighter shades will have some lightening and processing to attain the desired shade.
European hair comes in a host of textures, from straight, to wavy to curly. Due to difference in texture, the hair works with with most people but might not work with other hair textures such as for example African or Asian.
European and Russian hair will come from almost any country in which a finer cross section of hair is available for sale. Colours are usually medium brown to darkish and you will be dyes lighter if required. Human hair is far softer and healthier if it have not treated with aggressive acid bathes to shave back its cuticle.
Asian Hair
Asian hairs are normally thick, straight, and coarse. Because it is quite strong and straight it might be quite difficult to manage and get it to hold a method for this reason Asian hair can be stripped in an acid bath to make the cuticle smaller therefore the hair is finer... this however greatly damages the hair structure, requiring the need for silicone to coat the exposed cuticle. However after the silicone washes off after a few short washes the damaged cuticle is exposed again and the hair tangles, matts and loses its shine, immediately after becoming impossible to manage and for that reason requiring removal of the hair additions. As synthetic hair fibres tend to be manufactured in Asia we are finding the rise in heat resistant synthetic fibres being mixed with human hair... this is learning to be a far greater practice than ever before leading to matting and tangling and problems when attempting to straighten the hair.
Indian Hair
Indian hair Pilgrims sacrifice their hair to the God Vishnu in an activity called tonsuring. Their hair is then sorted, washed and dyed for marketing. Quite often the people of India have no idea they have been tricked into donating their hair so that it can be sold at a premium and shipped off and sold to Western countries for the usage of hair extensions. This has been the cause of some controversy, and several people now won't buy Indian hair based on ethical reasons.
Unfortunately due to the rising demand in human hair extensions Indian hair is often blended with synthetic hair and/or animal hair during processing.
More and more often this is happening (as the documentary on "A current affair" ) outlined recently. Indian hair is now very difficult to buy confidently as it often eventually ends up tangling and matting due the hair being blended with something else and or not being cuticle correct.
So where possible it really is much better to buy 100% human European or Russian hair in case you have a European texture.
When you are of Asian descent always choose 100% Asian hair which has not been processed - you will have to therefore require "virgin' Asian hair. You will observe the cuticle is quite thick and this means it really is intact and has not been acid stripped.
Should you be of Indian decent, please choose "virgin" Indian 100% remy hair, this hair could have the same texture as your own hair. You will need to be certain it has not been blended with any foreign materials before purchase.
Step 3
Is the Hair Remy?
hair The next critical step in purchasing hair extensions is whether it is remy or not.
Step one in determining if Remy hair extensions are truly Remy, with cuticles and prepared root to tip, is to examine the roots, mid-shaft and ends of the hair fiber. It really is fairly normal for cuticles to be missing or worn down near the ends of the hair strands, but thick and healthy near the roots.
You might be on a budget and think... well this hair is super cheap and probably isn't remy... but it should be OK... you'll just brush it a bit more... right?... wrong!
Non-remy hair is a girls worst nightmare and something you NEVER want to deal with.
Initially before the silicone coating has worn off... you may find it an easy task to manage... but following a few washes the true state of the hair reveals itself. It'll tangle and matt terribly!
After the silicone coating comes off you won't ever be able to ensure it is look nice... well maybe unless you move an inch. As soon as there is any movement... it will catch like Velcro and be a knotty mess.
Now you understand you must never buy non-remy hair...
So it's easy... just require remy hair... right? Well unfortunately most of the hair extension sellers today, simply have NO IDEA what they are selling and have not themselves been directly mixed up in complex hair trade world.
The seller often have little or no experience in hair extension care, application and processing methods and little knowledge of the real origin of theair itself.
Often untrained and inexperienced companies believe selling human hair is similar to any other product.
This may not be further from the reality! extensions are not like any other manufactured product... every head of hair is different sufficient reason for the selection of processing methods, origins of the hair in and of itself, the textures, lengths, grades and coloring methods..Hair extensions are an incredibly complicated and complex subject.
One would require many years of understanding of the compounding structures of human hair and of the world's hair trade itself to successfully ensure the human hair they sell is are soft, naturally shiny and ultimately provide a straight forward experience while installed within the recipients own hair.
For all the afore mentioned reasons, it is very important you find out just how much experience your seller really has.
Unfortunately though, not very many companies sell 100% Remy hair extensions since it isn't only expensive raw hair but very expensive to manufacture. Real remy hair extensions which are properly kept in the Remy state are also very expensive for the buyer and can't be purchased cheaply. With the rise in competition within the industry, many sellers in their haste to own "cheapest" extensions, will secretly buy cheap, non-remy or mixed Indian or Chinese hair and forward it as a genuine high quality product to the unknowing customer.
