Something You Want To Know About Hair Extensions

For these answers and more, Julia hair mall share with you to help us decode everything a woman must know before channeling her human hair extensions.

There different hair extensions types

1.The hair can be either human or synthetic

Human hair is preferred as it yields the most natural-looking results. Using natural hair allows all hair extensions to be treated as your own personal hair, Synthetic hair is a lower quality, can look fake, and is immediately noticeable. For the most discerning of salon-goers, virgin hair (never colored or processed) is the best hair on the market and can be colored, curled, ironed and cut in a way that lower quality hair cannot be.

2. Clip-in extensions are a more temporary, economical option

Unlike permanent extensions, you can apply clip-ins at home whether you're looking to add volume or length. Plus, they can last for up to two years if properly cared for. Quality clip-in extensions are super easy to put in and take out. Look for sets that have silicon covered clips, which will avoid any damage to your hair and those that have a variety of sizes to give you the most options. 

Another important aspect of finding solid clip-in hair extension is color matching as an artificial-looking shade will almost certainly give you away. A good color match will keep your secret!

3. Extensions can be really damaging if they're not installed or maintained correctly

Whether it's an incorrect application/removal, the hair is too dense, or you're applying too much of it, extensions can be stressful to the hair follicles and can even result in hair loss. If you're feeling a strain for a hairpiece or notice hair loss/damage, it's important to address it immediately before it's too late. 

4. The market for fake hair is crazy

Because the demand is so high, human hair such as curly Brazilian virgin hair comes from all around the world. Make sure it's being ethically sourced instead of coming from the black market, which could be of lesser quality than advertised and/or has preyed on a poverty-stricken area for its supply.

Unfortunately, you can't always trust the packaging, and that's why it's important to vet a hair vendor as best you can. And, as a general rule of thumb, remember that you get what you pay for in terms of quality.
