A GUIDE TO HAIR EXTENSIONS
Beautiful, healthy, lustrous hair whether long or short makes a woman feel confident and more beautiful. Several decades ago, women had to wait several years to grow out their hair and invest time and money in hair products to achieve lovely and voluminous locks. These days, hair extension provide amazing options for women to lengthen their hair or add volume to otherwise thinning hair and even temporarily add different colors, without the wearer using harsh or harmful chemicals on her actual hair.
There are two broad categories of hair extensions - synthetic and human hair extensions. Synthetic hair is man-made, essentially it isn't made from real hair, so this kind of hair cannot be colored or blow dried. It tangles very easily, is not very durable, and gets frizzy very quickly if overexposed to water, heat or certain hair products. On the plus side, synthetic hair is very cheap.
Human hair extensions come in various types and textures, ranging from Virgin hair to Indian, Russian, Chinese, Malaysian and Brazilian hair etc. You can buy various kinds of human hair extension from wholesale hair extensions in VA.
Virgin hair, as the name implies, is human hair that is natural and has not been chemically processed. Virgin hair can be colored, blow dried, curled or straightened or manipulated into any desired style.
Chinese hair is coarse, thick and stiff and often needs to be chemically processed before it can have that Caucasian look and feel. After the chemical treatment, Chinese hair often looks dull and needs to be coated with silicone to add some shine and make it more appealing. However, this coating comes off after a few washes, leaving the hair looking dull. Chinese hair doesn't dye well and isn't very durable, however on the plus side, Chinese hair is relatively cheaper when compared to other types of human hair.
Indian hair - the texture of Indian hair is similar to the texture of Caucasian hair, Indian hair is fine and shiny, and comes in a variety of styles ranging from curly to wavy to straight, and in thick, fine and medium textures. Russian hair is typically very soft and fine and is often considered to be of high quality.
Brazilian hair as the name implies is the human hair from women of South American origin. Brazilian hair is one of the most popular human hair extensions, particularly considered a favorite by many women. Brazilian hair has an incredibly soft texture and the hair can be curled, straighten, colored, or dyed, and by simply wetting it, will return the hair to its original texture. The hair is very versatile and can be easily manipulated to any style the wearer desires. Brazilian hair is very durable and depending on the care can last for 1-2 years.
