Hair extensions as becoming most stylish hair accessory, thing which is most noticeable is type of material or hair used for making such hair extensions. Hair extensions add style and beauty in any person’s appearance. People do prefer extensions which do not look like artificial. Hair extensions are basically made by two type of hair such as human hair and synthetic hair. human hair are natural human hair and sold at natural state without any processing while synthetic hair is made by fibers and heavily processed with chemicals.
Hair should be made more realistic and thus it must be produced from real human hair. Human hair is mainly derived from variety of sources and thus they are available in varying qualities. Indian hair is very much popular due to its natural look. These are much similar to the European hair. Natural human hair is best quality hair and preferred by many. This type of hair is mainly treated like your own hair and these are stronger than synthetic hair.
Synthetic hair is basically made from fiber, that’s why also known as fiber hair extension. These look really very stylish and attractive and thus they are very popular. There are so many reasons to switch to synthetic fiber extensions such as weight, tangle, color match, ethics, and look and feel. As human hair is heavier than the fiber and therefore feels “heavy” on the head, at its worst, this increased weight and stress on the hair can cause “traction alopecia”. Consequently, you do need to use quite intensive conditioners to keep the hair in good condition. Fiber, however, has a smooth surface and therefore is less likely to tangle.
Fibre hair extensions may be temporary, permanent or semi permanent. When you wish to having permanent or semi permanent hair extensions then you should visit professional or your hair stylist. Do not apply it at home on your own. Taking a professional’s advice in this respect is said to be the best. Professional should be well experienced and should have complete knowledge about extensions and their installation methods. By keeping these things in mind you can select the best professional from whom you can get expert treatment.
You should treat fiber extensions exactly the same as your own hair. Like your own hair wash it as normal, blow dry, curl, condition, brush. The fiber is actually non-porous; you don’t need to use expensive products on the hair, because they’ll have no effect on the extension hair itself. Extra heat can damage your extension, so blow dry them with very low temperature. You can use straighter and rollers to get desirable hair style but you can’t perm the extensions. As extension hair is non-porous, there is no effect of coloring. During selection of hair extension you can get extension with different colors, but you can’t color any hair extension.
