For those who are thinking of adding volume and length of their hair or locks by using extensions, experts recommend that they should get the natural human hair extension rather than the synthetic ones. There are some situations where synthetic hair can be appropriate like in a onetime use. They are very cheap and they only cost a fraction of the natural human hair. If you want to spend less on an extension that will last you for a long time, you should go for this option. If you want to go for an extension that you have no intention of keeping for a long period, you should consider the human hair.
The main reason as to why most people consider human hair is because they act like normal hair. You can do anything with the hair just like you can do to your own natural hair. You can color it, use a blow drier or curling iron and style it to any design that you want. Synthetic extensions do not allow you to do such things.
People like these extensions because of their appearance. Because these extensions are made of real human hair protein filament, they cannot be distinguished from the natural hair. The synthetic extensions are made of plastic and one can easily identify them. Some unusual things will be seen next to the natural strands.
If you have considered going for the human-produced extensions, you will definitely want them to look natural. You will then need to be attentive to the type of hair that they are made up of and the way in which they are attached. Most of the extensions are made from certain races in the world. For the material to have its best looks, it should have no chemical treatments. You will rarely come across such extensions from the western world with no treatments. You can easily get the extension from the Far East people but they do not blend well with other ethnic descents. The best natural hair that you can get if from India but you need to make sure that it is temple Indian hair and not brushed Indian hair. The temple hair is retrieved from the dead while the brushed hair is collected after a woman brushes each day. The difference between the temple hair and brushed hair is that the cuticles of the temple hair face the same direction while those of brushed hair face the opposite direction and this causes the brushed hair to get entangled.
The extension can be attached in different ways such as knotting, welding, gluing and waxing or modulating. To have the best natural look, modulating is the best alternative. Besides the natural look that they bring about, one will be able to brush and style the hair as usual without that the fear that the extension will tear or get loose like what happens when the hair is glued in. No matter the method that you use to get your hair attached, it is good to consider the human extension rather than the synthetic ones.
