Getting the best Human Hair Extensions

When hair extensions first appeared in the 1980’s they were generally made from synthetic fibres and dismissed as a fad. Now they are back and they are more popular than ever thanks to celebrities sporting the hair trend and more salons across the UK opening their doors to the style.

A good few years have past since the 1980’s and thankfully during these years hair extensions have been better developed and now that they are well and truly back; human hair is now the preferred choice for extensions by most salons and most stylists. It is thanks to the introduction of human hair that extensions now look and feel so natural, which is what makes them so easy to wear.

The human hair that is used by stylists for hair extensions are sourced from a variety of different countries and depending on the type of extensions you want the human hair used could come from a number of different countries. Some of the main and most popular forms are as follows:

• Indian – this is a very popular form. It has excellent quality but not quite as good as European hair. This form does however have a more limited colour range than other types but the hair dries with a slight wave to make it look natural and all the extensions sourced from Indian hair are pre-dyed so that they match a colour chart.

• European – this source is the most popular when it comes to human hair extensions. This is thanks to its soft and natural feel as well as its extensive colour range. Again this form of human hair extension dries with a natural wave and again is pre dyed so that it matches an extensive colour chart.

• Russian Virgin Hair – this form is classed as the most beautiful and rare form of hair extension as it hasn’t been dyed or chemically treated in anyway. Although this limits the colour range that this is available in; your stylist can dye the extensions to match your natural colour for an extra fee.

• Brazilian Virgin Hair – this form of human hair extension is naturally curly. It is however rare in the UK. As the texture of this extension is naturally curly it will remain that way even after it has been washed. Like Russian virgin hair, the colour range is slightly limited but again this can be sorted for a small extra fee.

The source of the human hair extension that is best for you is something that you should discuss with your stylist as they will be the most valuable source of information to you when it comes to your human hair extensions. Whichever source you do gain them from however, your stylist will be able to individually colour match each individual extension to your hair in order to add subtle highlights or lowlights to give your hair a perfect natural finish.

The most important aspect that you need to keep in mind when it comes to gaining hair extensions is to book a consultation appointment with your stylist well in advance of you having the hair extensions applied. So what are you waiting for? Get your consultation booked now!
