If you decide to go in for a hair extension application, it is necessary that you know something about the hair that will be used in the process. The reason is that different types of hair react differently once they are inserted. Human Hair Extensions, for instance, stay looking shiny and natural for a much longer period of time than synthetic extensions do.
To understand the reason why, we will have to explain the biological composition of hair to you. Once we do, you will understand why Human Hair Extensions will leave you looking younger and better groomed.
Human hair has an outer layer attached to each strand which is called the cuticle. This is composed of complex interlocking scales and it protects against water loss. All the cuticles on a woman’s head are aligned in the same direction and this is what prevents the hair from getting tangled and matted. Human Hair Extensions which retain these cuticles will therefore not tangle up and will look far more natural. Also, because the cuticles help retain water, Human Hair Extensions will look shiny as light reflects from their glossy surface. You have to take care when choosing an extensionist to find one who will actually give you Human Hair Extensions. He may pass on inferior quality hair during the extension process claiming that he is giving you Human hair Extensions. During the application, you are not likely to be able to tell the difference. However, it will not take you long to find out that you have been duped.
