One of the principal issues that face a woman wanting to get a Hair Extension done is whether she should use real Human Hair or hair made out of synthetic material. It is a difficult decision to take because there are a great many advantages which pertain to both varieties. We’ll try to give you the particulars of both Human Hair and synthetic hair and hope that these will assist you to come to a conclusion about which kind of hair to use for the Hair Extension you are planning for yourself.

Let us start with synthetic or artificial hair. The first and most important point to bear in mind about this brand of hair is that it is cheaper than human hair. That is an issue which could finally tilt the scale one way or other as all of us have to take decisions about every aspect of life based on what we can afford. But don’t base your choice on cost alone because there are other points worth considering. For instance, Human Hair is heavier than synthetic hair and the weight on your head will decidedly be less if you use the latter variety. But despite this, our advice to you would be to use Human Hair and we will now tell you why.

It has been our experience that Human Hair is what unquestionably looks the most natural and lasts far longer than the synthetic variety. The principal reason for this is that Human Hair of the Remy variety retains the cuticles which are present on every shaft of hair on humans. These cuticles are what help your hair align in the same direction and thereby not get tangled up. Synthetic hair does not have these cuticles and so get tangled easily. This not only presents an unnatural look but cuts short the life of the hair extension. Furthermore, these cuticles help to lock in essential moisture and protect the hair from the elements. And finally, Human Hair can be colored, set, and treated whereas you are more or less left with the same hair that you started off with in the case of synthetic hair.

India and some of the other Asian countries are where most of the Human Hair comes from. This is because some of the religious rituals in those countries require the devotees to have their heads tonsured and so a large amount of “virgin” or totally unprocessed hair comes from there. The term also indicates that the hair has not been colored, permed or straightened. And this hair is collected by tying it up to maintain the direction of the cuticle and then cutting it. This is why virgin Human Hair looks so natural and why we recommend it for the Hair Extension process.

In the final analysis, the choice is yours, but do consider all the advantages of both types of hair before deciding. Don’t make price the only criterion.

The Hair Extension Process is becoming more and more popular as women grow more and more conscious about their appearance. Almost everyone wants to look good and, since not all women have been blessed with hair which is naturally beautiful, hair extension is the obvious answer to a woman’s desire for increased attractiveness. However, if you want to start on the process, there are a few details which you should be aware of. There are basically two types of hair for you to choose from; Human Hair Extensions and synthetic hair extensions. Synthetic hair is made from man-made fibers to look like human hair but frankly, it cannot match the genuine look that Human Hair Extensions give to a woman.

The reasons are basically two. Firstly, Human Hair Extensions retain the sheen which is one of the most attractive things about lustrous hair. Secondly, with man-made fibers, you could end up with brittle hair which tangles up constantly. With Human Hair Extensions, this will not happen. The reason for these anomalies is that while Human Hair Extensions retain the “cuticle” which is present on the hair shaft, the other material does not do so. These “cuticles” surround the hair shaft and are aligned in the same direction. That is why, when inserted, Human Hair Extensions do not get tangled and look more natural. Also, the “cuticle” locks in essential moisture. This is why hair with “cuticle” looks so shiny as light reflects from their glossy surface and transforms the woman into an object of exceptional attractiveness.
