Natural Hair Extensions For Women

By Jessica Rogers


Hair extensions are hair-like products that people wear on their heads to add beauty, cover scars, or for other purposes. They may be made from synthetic materials such as plastic fiber or they may be made from real human hair. The ones made from real human hairs are usually more costly, but they present better quality and durability. Wearing natural hair extensions gives the wearer that natural look and beauty.

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.

Synthetic hairs are not designed to allow for coloring. This is because the strands of hair in them usually get destroyed by the bleach or ammonia contained in most dyes on the market. Similarly, synthetic products cannot be styled with heat like natural extensions can. This is because the fiber in synthetic products usually gets damaged by the heat. Thus, blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons among other tools cannot be used on synthetic extensions.

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.

Although cases of allergy are rare, it is also possible for some people to have allergic reaction from using these products. When this happens, one should seek medical attention before more harm is done. Whereas remy extensions are unlikely to cause allergy, synthetics have a higher possibility of causing allergies.

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.
