PopularTypes of Hair Used in Hair Extensions

Hair extensions have become common these days. While choosing hair extensions, it is best to go for 100% virgin grade hair extensions. Virgin hair is the hair that is devoid of any kind of chemical treatment and is durable and soft. Remy hair differs from virgin hair as it is chemically treated but has all cuticles intact.

The right choice of hair ensures that you look your best and that the extensions last for a long time. There are different types of cheap human hair extensions and each of these differs in some or the other aspect based on the hair type chosen. Their reaction to heat, water and air drying might differ and all the types are available in different textures viz. straight, curly and wavy. 

Here are some types of the hair used in various hair extensions that are very popular:

The beauty of Indian hair lies in the fact that dry Indian hair creates a beautiful wave ranging from slightly wavy to very wavy. Another great feature of Indian hair is that is it very workable and it can be easily curled or straightened. Indian hair can hold curls very well but gets slightly loosened when exposed to damp and humid conditions, though it never completely falls out. Make sure that you go for 100% virgin Remy Indian hair to have the best experience of Indian human hair extensions.

Brazilian human hair weave is also very much in demand and there are only a few salons that offer you this. Brazilian hair is shinier and silkier than Indian hair and it comes in all the possible textures viz. curly, wavy and straight. If you go for Brazilian human hair weave, you can expect the curls to stay longer as compared to Indian hair. So, if you are looking for curls, this is the best option. Brazilian straight hair is essentially straight throughout but tends to get curled beautifully at the end. 

This type of hair extension is thicker and coarser than both Brazilian and Indian hair extensions. Peruvian hair extensions blend well with medium textures like Caucasian hair and also with textures similar to African – American relaxed hair. These hair extensions are also offered in all the three textures viz. straight, curly and wavy. This type of hair gets more wavy and curly when wet or when the hair is washed.

This type of hair is softer and silkier than Peruvian hair and appears very shiny at the beginning. However, after a couple washes, this type of hair loses its shine and the appearance looks more natural. There is no need to use any expensive hair product to maintain the curls of this type of hair as the curls hold well and do not loosen easily and drop. It is advisable not to use hair sprays as that makes this hair extension look like a wig. 

It is important that purchase hair extensions from the right store or salon, so as to ensure buying quality products.
