Human hair Explained?

Human Hair Extensions come from different regions in the word, and each type has different characteristics to the next based on how they have been treated in the manufacturing process. Russian Virgin, European Virgin, Brazilian, Remy and Chinese are all examples of types of hair extensions used today.

Russian Virgin hair is generally accepted as the gold standard in the hair extension industry as the hair extensions are the purest and silkiest. Russian hair is also the rarest and hardest to find of all natural hair extensions which is generally reflected in the price.

European Virgin hair does not necessarily come from Europe. It is a group name for hair which has a very similar basic structure as European hair. In general this hair type is of a very high quality. However the method of collection is very essential. When different types of hair are mixed with cuticles aligned in different directions this hair becomes of a much less quality and therefore less expensive. To prevent tangling the cuticles must be removed and the hair is covered by silicon. If collected with all the cuticles intact facing the same direction this hair is considered very good quality and cost effective. Remy Virgin is sourced from Eastern parts of Russia and is similar in colour and texture to Asian hair. Unlike Chinese hair it has not been treated or processed.

Chinese hair is the most common hair found in use today, as it's readily available in large quantities and cheap to buy. However, Chinese hair is often very thick and coarse. In order to reduce the thickness and give it a softer and finer texture many hair companies expose the hair to an aggressive acid treatment to strip the cuticle layer. This chemical treatment destroys the cuticle layer, leaving the hair opaque and fragile. The hair is then coloured and covered with a silicone layer, which gives it a simulated healthy look. In the beginning the hair seems shiny and beautiful, but after a few washes the silicone layer starts to wash away and the colour fades leaving the hair with a dull matt appearance.

Virgin Hair

Virgin hair is hair that has not been dyed, bleached, permed or straightened. It is hair that has not been chemically treated one way or another. It is 100% natural so there can be no damage to the cuticles. The cuticles protect the hair so it is important that they are intact
