Facts About Natural Hair Extensions

By Jessica Rogers


People wear hair extensions to enhance beauty, cover scars or for other reasons of their own. These are hair-like products made from real human hair or synthetic materials like plastic fibers. Real human hair extensions are more durable and of better quality but they are more costly. When one wears natural hair extensions, they acquire natural beauty and look.

Both natural and synthetic products come in various colors and styles. There are various ways of application that come with the different styles. When being styled, synthetic extensions tend to be stiffer and of poor quality thus do not merge well with hair on the head. During its processing external finishes such as silicone coat are sometimes added but it fades with time.

The strands that make up synthetic hairs are very weak and usually get destroyed by bleach and/or ammonia contained in coloring chemicals. That means that they cannot be colored. On the other hand, remy products can be colored and styled in any way one wants. Styling can be done using blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons.

Like stated earlier, synthetic hair comes at a cheaper cost. The cheap cost is usually traded for poorer quality compared to real hairs. The poor quality means that they cannot last for a long period of time once they are styled on the head. They easily get damaged by heat, sun, rain, and chemicals among other factors. They longest they can last is a few months. This is a very short time compared to a period of up to a year that remy extensions can last with proper care and maintenance.

The moment one steps out of a beauty salon they need to know that the secret to a fresh look is maintenance. Whether it is remy or synthetic hair, after styling has been done, it has to be well maintained. It is recommended to wash it on a regular basis. Washing can be done on a sink and a towel needs to be used to dry out the water.

Hair conditioning can be done using conditioners and shampoos. Sulfates and parabens should not be contained in any of the products used for conditioning. Instructions for use of certain products prohibit the use of shampoos. As such, one should be careful with the product they use shampoos on. Roots of hairs should be the target when shampooing. Air drying is the process of using air to dry the head. One should use this method after shampooing or washing. Proper maintenance entails ensuring that the head is dry before going to bed.

Cases of allergic reactions are rare but there are possibilities for some people to experience reactions from the use of these products. In such a case a person should seek medical attention with immediate effect to avoid more harm from taking place. Synthetic products are more credited to causing allergic reactions as compared to natural extensions.

The most important thing is to ensure that one gets a good salonist for this job. Getting one qualified to deal with hair extensions is hard since most of them are only in the industry to make profits. It is therefore important to be careful when choosing a salonist because choosing the wrong one can be disastrous and a big disappointment.
