Having great Hair extensions is incredible and can 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 would, hair extensions can offer the best solution to their hair woes. I have first hand knowledge regarding all application methods, processing procedures and origins and after 14 years to be a senior extension artist and master trainer in all methods of attachment I'd like to share with you the some in depth knowledge to help you purchase the extensions of your dreams, which means you never have to be worried about tangling, damage to your own 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 will help to let you know and assist you with asking the right questions when purchasing hair extensions from your dealer. Learn about where your own hair extensions REALLY come from! CAN I GO TO THE SUPPLIER? Have you any idea much about your supplier/extension artist? Are you really comfortable handing over a huge selection of dollars to someone you "hope' will sell you an excellent product? Please don't make the error of simply thinking that in the event that you receive a sample of the hair it'll mean you will end up buying good hair later on... many suppliers simply have a some good hair samples and then they send out bad hair after an order is made. You should see several packets first to ensure the hair will be high 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 has an 'open door' policy. Even though they are too far away... to visit... do they allow the public to start to see the hair before they buy? Can they show you the various type of hair before you buy it? Do they have types of non-remy and real remy hair showing you so that you can be 100% sure the merchandise they are selling may be the real thing? Yes I know all of this effort seems like a whole lot but it is important particularly if you want on purchasing or having hair extensions regularly. If the provider hides behind an internet site... you can be pretty sure they also have something to hide European and Russian grade hair Growing hair for extensions is serious work. Some men and women who grow hair must follow a particular diet to make certain their hair will be healthy, well nourished and of the greatest quality. STEP 2 What is the foundation 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 that is why what European and Russian hair which may once upon a time have 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 incredibly expensive and simply inaccessible because of rising demand in hair extensions in the resent years, therefore natural blonde hair extensions have become tricky to find, so one would have to assume that almost all hair sold in lighter shades could have some lightening and processing to attain the desired shade. European hair comes in a host of textures, from straight, to wavy to curly. Because of the difference in texture, the hair is compatible with most people but may not use other hair textures such as 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 generally medium brown to dark brown and will be dyes lighter if required. Human hair is far softer and healthier if it has not treated with aggressive acid bathes to shave back its cuticle. Asian Hair Asian hairs are usually thick, straight, and coarse. Because it is fairly strong and straight it could be quite difficult to manage and obtain it to hold a method that is why Asian hair can be stripped within an acid bath to make the cuticle smaller therefore the hair is finer... this however greatly damages the hair structure, requiring the necessity for silicone to coat the exposed cuticle. hair 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 therefore requiring removal of the hair additions. As synthetic hair fibres tend to be manufactured in Asia we have been finding the rise in heat resistant synthetic fibres being mixed with human hair... this is learning to be a far greater practice than previously resulting in matting and tangling and problems when trying to straighten the hair. Indian Hair Indian hair Pilgrims sacrifice their hair to the God Vishnu in a process called tonsuring. Their hair is then sorted, washed and dyed for marketing. Often times the people of India have no idea they have been tricked into donating their hair so it can be sold at reduced and then shipped off and sold to Western countries for the use of hair extensions. This has been the cause of some controversy, and several people now won't buy Indian hair predicated on ethical reasons. Unfortunately because of 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 "An ongoing 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 is much better to get 100% human European or Russian hair when you have a European texture. For anyone who is of Asian descent always choose 100% Asian hair which has not been processed - you will have to therefore require "virgin' Asian hair. You will notice the cuticle is fairly 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 mixed with any foreign materials before purchase. Step 3 Is the Hair Remy? The next critical step in purchasing hair extensions is whether it's remy or not. The first step 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 close to the roots. You could 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 then one you NEVER want to cope with. Initially prior to the silicone coating has worn off... you may find it an easy task to manage... but after a few washes the real state of the hair reveals itself. It'll tangle and matt terribly! Following the silicone coating comes off you will NEVER be able to ensure it is look nice... well maybe if you don't move an inch. The moment there is any movement... it will catch like Velcro and become a knotty mess. Now you understand you must never buy non-remy hair... So it's easy... just require remy hair... right? Well unfortunately a lot of the hair extension sellers today, simply do not know what they are selling and have not themselves been directly mixed up in complex hair trade world. The seller often have little if any experience in hair extension care, application and processing methods and little understanding of the true origin of theair itself. Often untrained and inexperienced companies believe selling human hair is similar to any other product. This could not be further from the truth! extensions are not like any manufactured product... every head of hair is different and with the array of processing methods, origins of the hair in and of itself, the textures, lengths, grades and coloring methods..Hair extensions are a remarkably 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 hassle free 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 because it isn't just expensive raw hair but very costly to manufacture. Real remy hair extensions that are properly kept in the Remy state may also be very expensive for the customer and cannot be purchased cheaply. With the rise in competition within the industry, many sellers in their haste to offer the "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.Like it?
