Ensure your hair extensions supplier/artist has an ‘open door’ coverage. Even when they’re too far-off… to go to… do they permit the public to see the hair earlier than they purchase?
Can they present you the completely different kind of hair before you purchase it?

European and Russian grade hair
Rising hair for extensions is critical work. Some ladies and men who develop hair should comply with a particular weight loss plan to be sure that their hair shall be wholesome, effectively nourished and of the highest quality.
STEP 2
What’s the origin of the hair?
European and Russian grade hair can originate from any nation the place the desired hair construction may be collected. It’s merely unattainable for all of the European and Russian hair provides to come from one or two areas because of this the phrases European and Russian hair which can as soon as upon a time have been extra nation unique is now a unfastened time period for human hair that’s suitable with the higher hair extensions industries customers.
Most blond hair bought as extensions is extraordinarily costly and easily inaccessible due to rising demand in hair extensions in the resent years, subsequently pure blonde hair extensions are very onerous to come by, so one would have to assume that the majority hair bought in lighter shades can have some lightening and processing to attain the desired shade.
European hair is available in a bunch of textures, from straight, to wavy to curly. Due to the distinction in texture, the hair is suitable with most individuals however could not work with different hair textures equivalent to African or Asian.
European and Russian hair can come from nearly any nation the place a finer cross part of hair is accessible on the market. Colors are typically medium brown to darkish brown and shall be dyes lighter if required. Human hair is way softer and more healthy if it has not handled with aggressive acid bathes to shave again its cuticle.
Asian Hair
Asian hairs are usually thick, straight, and coarse. As a result of it’s fairly robust and straight it may be fairly tough to handle and get it to maintain a mode because of this Asian hair may be stripped in an acid bathtub to make the cuticle smaller so the hair is finer… this nonetheless drastically damages the hair construction, requiring the want for silicone to coat the uncovered cuticle. Nevertheless as soon as the silicone washes off after a couple of brief washes the broken cuticle is uncovered once more and the hair tangles, matts and loses its shine, quickly after changing into unattainable to handle and subsequently requiring elimination of the hair additions. As artificial hair fibres are sometimes manufactured in Asia we’re discovering the rise in warmth resistant artificial fibres being combined with human hair… that is changing into a far higher apply than ever earlier than leading to matting and tangling and issues when making an attempt to straighten the hair.
Indian Hair
Indian hair Pilgrims sacrifice their hair to the God Vishnu in a course of referred to as tonsuring. Their hair is then sorted, washed and dyed for advertising. Usually occasions the folks of India do not know they’ve been tricked into donating their hair so it may be bought at a premium after which shipped off and bought to Western nations for the use of hair extensions. This has been the reason for some controversy, and many individuals now refuse to purchase Indian hair primarily based on moral causes.
Sadly due to the rising demand in human hair extensions Indian hair is commonly combined with artificial hair and/or animal hair throughout processing.
Increasingly usually that is occurring (as the documentary on “A present affair” ) outlined lately. Indian hair is changing into very tough to purchase with confidence because it usually finally ends up tangling and matting due the hair being combined with one thing else and or not being cuticle right.
So the place potential it’s a lot better to purchase 100% human European or Russian hair if in case you have a European texture.
In case you are of Asian descent at all times select 100% Asian hair which has not been processed – you will have to subsequently ask for “virgin’ Asian hair. You’ll discover the cuticle is kind of thick and this implies it’s intact and has not been acid stripped.
In case you are of Indian first rate, please select “virgin” Indian 100% remy hair, this hair can have the identical texture as your personal hair. You have to to ensure it has not been combined with any international supplies earlier than buy.
Step 3
Is the Hair Remy?
The following important step in buying hair extensions is whether or not it’s remy or not.
Step one in figuring out if Remy hair extensions are actually Remy, with cuticles and ready root to tip, is to study the roots, mid-shaft and ends of the hair fiber. It’s pretty regular for cuticles to be lacking or worn down close to the ends of the hair strands, however thick and wholesome close to the roots.
You could be on a finances and assume… effectively this hair is tremendous low-cost and possibly is not remy… however it needs to be OK… you’ll simply brush it a bit extra… proper?… incorrect!
Non-remy hair is a women worst nightmare and one thing you NEVER need to cope with.
Initially earlier than the silicone coating has worn off… chances are you’ll discover it straightforward to handle… however after a couple of washes the actual state of the hair reveals itself. It’s going to tangle and matt terribly!
After the silicone coating comes off you’ll NEVER find a way to make it look good… effectively possibly in case you do not transfer an inch. As quickly as there may be any motion… it can catch like Velcro and develop into a knotty mess.
Now you perceive you need to by no means purchase non-remy hair…
So it is easy… simply ask for remy hair… proper? Nicely sadly most of the hair extension sellers right this moment, merely have NO IDEA what they’re promoting and haven’t themselves been instantly concerned in the complicated hair commerce world.
The vendor usually have little or no expertise in hair extension care, utility and processing strategies and little data of the true origin of theair itself.
Usually untrained and inexperienced corporations imagine promoting human hair is like some other product.
This might not be farther from the fact! extensions will not be like some other manufactured product… each head of hair is completely different and with the array of processing strategies, origins of the hair in and of itself, the textures, lengths, grades and coloring strategies..Hair extensions are an extremely difficult and sophisticated topic.
One would require a few years of understanding of the compounding constructions of human hair and of the world’s hair commerce itself to efficiently guarantee the human hair they promote is are tender, naturally shiny and finally present a trouble free expertise whereas put in inside the recipients personal hair.
For all the afore talked about causes, it is rather essential you learn the way a lot expertise your vendor actually has.
Sadly although, not very many corporations promote 100% Remy hair extensions as a result of it isn’t solely costly uncooked hair however very costly to manufacture. Actual remy hair extensions which can be correctly stored in the Remy state are additionally very costly for the purchaser and can’t be bought cheaply. With the rise in competitors inside the business, many sellers of their haste to provide the “most cost-effective” extensions, will secretly purchase low-cost, non-remy or combined Indian or Chinese language hair and ahead it as a real prime quality product on to the unknowing buyer.
If the hair is really 100% Remy human hair, it’s a worthwhile funding in any other case basically you might be throwing your cash away.
