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.

Synthetic as well as real hair extensions are available in a wide range of styles and colors. Different styles have different ways of application. Synthetic products tend to be poorer in quality, which makes them to be stiffer. Thus, they do not merge well with hair on the head. Synthetic products may be finished with silicone coats among others to make them better, but such additives usually fade away over time.

Synthetic hairs are not meant to be colored since the strands get damaged by the bleach or ammonia in most dyes. Heat cannot be used to style synthetic products. This is unlike natural extensions which can be styled using curling irons, blow dryers and straighteners.

Synthetic products are cheaper than natural products because they are of poor quality. When they get styled on the head they do not last long because of their poor quality. They are not durable and are easily damaged by chemicals, sun and rain among other factors. They mostly last for up to a few months unlike natural products which when cared and maintained properly, can last for up to a year.

The key to maintaining that fresh look that one gets when they step out of a beauty salon is maintenance. After styling, it is important to keep the synthetic or Remy hair well maintained at all times. It is advisable to wash them one a regular basis. One can wash them in a sink and use a towel 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.

Getting a good salonist to do the job is a very important factor. Many salonists are attracted to the industry to make money. This often makes it hard to locate a qualified one. As such, exercising caution when selecting a salonist is important.
