Fundamental information about hair extensions

To choose the most suitable hair extension, you need to know all the basic information about this product.

Origin of hair extensions

Some hair extensions are made of synthetic fibers, but they are not popular because artificial hair extensions are not heat resistant and cannot be styled, reused, or biodegradable. Because it is far lighter than real human hair, synthetic hair will never move in the same way.

Therefore, the current hair extensions are mostly made from real human hair and can be styled, bleached, and cared for like normal hair.

How long can your hair extensions last?

Hair extensions can last from three to six months to a year or even longer, depending on how well they are cared for and how often they are used.

However, depending on your hair’s natural growth pace, you’ll need to visit a hair salon every six to eight weeks to have your hair extensions moved forward a bit. The hairstylists may need to trim them a little to keep your hair extensions looking healthy and full.

Types of hair extensions

It offers a wide range of hair extensions from which you can select the one that is best for you and your client.

Types of hair extensions classified by origin

When you search for keywords related to hair extensions, you will get a lot of results like virgin hair extension, Remy hair extension… So what’s the difference between these hair types?

• Virgin hair extensions are hair that has never been exposed to harmful chemicals before and comes from only a single woman. Hair extensions are completely similar in texture, so they have outstanding quality.
• Remy hair extensions: basically quite similar to virgin hair but collected from 2 to 3 women so the texture similarity is a bit less but the quality is still very good.

• Non-Remy hair: This hair type has the lowest quality because it is collected from a lot of people. The cuticle has become tangled and is no longer pointing in the original direction, necessitating the use of powerful machinery to untangle it.

Types of hair extensions classified by styles

Hair extensions are made into many styles with different uses, depending on the needs of customers. There are 4 types of hair extensions:

• Weft hair extensions: are hair that is woven into strips (usually 1m long), then imported by salons and sewn/stitched onto the customer’s hair.
  • Weft hair extensions are suitable for African customers, especially Nigeria because African women have very short hair (even no hair).
  • Weft hair extensions have many styles from straight to curly with a variety of colors such as ombre, blonde, red,…

• Tip/tape hair extensions are small tufts of hair that are glued to the hair with glue or tape with the effect of making hair thicker and longer. This type of hair is very suitable for European customers because their hair is quite thin and long.

• Clip-in hair extensions: are used to attach small snap-on clips to your own hair in order to help your hair grow longer and thicker. Clip-in hair extensions can be added and withdrawn if you want for a weekend or a particular occasion.

• Micro-link/bead extensions: Small micro-beads are used to adhere the extensions to the customer’s hair.

Types of hair extensions classified by grades

Grades or the uniformity of length is one of the criteria to classify and evaluate the quality of hair extensions.

• Single-drawn hair extensions: the proportion of hair with the same length accounts for 30-50%. This type of hair extension has the lowest price.
• Double-drawn hair extensions: the proportion of hair with the same length accounts for 50-65%. Very popular with African customers because the quality is still good and the price is affordable.
• Super double-drawn hair extensions:the proportion of hair with the same length is very high, accounting for 70-85%. This is a very good quality hair extension and worth the price.
• Some wholesale hair vendors also have a fourth category, exclusively for VIP guests.

The Chinese have created their own way of classifying hair extensions according to the order of numbers from 1A to 12A. For ease of comparison, it can be understood as follows:

• Single drawn: corresponds to hair extensions numbered 1-6A
• Double drawn: corresponds to hair extensions numbered 7-9A
• Super double drawn: corresponds to hair extensions numbered 10-12A

Cost of hair extensions

The cost of hair extensions varies greatly depending on the type of hair extension as well as the area you live in. For example:

• Hairstylists will take 2 to 3 hours for a full head of hair extensions.
• Tap-in hair extensions range in price from £180 for 6 pairs to £540 for 18 pairs.
• For good quality hair, a full head of 18-inch micro link hair extensions might cost upwards of £600 ($780). It’s more likely to be £750 ($970) in London.

Hair extensions: How to take care of them properly

When it comes to hair extensions, whether they’re clip-ins or sew-ins, you’ll need to stick to a hair care routine to keep their appearance always the best. Continue reading to learn all of the hair extension maintenance tips and methods we discovered.

Wash your extensions as little as possible

Your hair extensions are made from real human hair, so you can clean them just like your natural hair.

• If your hair extensions are weft hair extensions, taped-in, or micro-linked, you can wash them in the shower with your natural hair.
• Washing extensions that are bonded or clipped in with your natural hair is not a smart idea. These should be taken out and dealt with separately.
• Wash gently so as not to damage your hair extensions. If you are too rough, the hair extension will be damaged after only a short time of use.

• Remember those hair extensions are weaker than your real hair because they are not as oily as natural hair. So washing hair extensions too often will make them easy to dry and break.

Use the right hair extension care products

When taking care of hair extensions, one of the things you absolutely must keep in mind is to always use the right hair care products.

• Sulfate and alcohol are chemical ingredients that will strip the hair of oils, making the hair extensions darker and more prone to frizz and tangles.
• When shopping for hair extensions, be sure to use products that are alcohol and sulfate-free.

• However, many companies do not explicitly state whether their products contain alcohol and sulfates, so read the ingredients carefully and make sure that there are no substances such as SLS, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, SD Alcohol 40, Alcohol Denat, Isopropyl…
• Limit the use of sticky products such as hair gel, hair spray… because they can clog your hair extensions.

Brush your hair extensions properly

When combing and untangling your hair extensions, make sure you do it gently and properly.

• The first thing to do is to gather all the hair extensions and natural hair together by stacking all the curls on top of each other
• Start combing carefully from the bottom and to the roots and continue this way. This will help reduce hair extensions breakage and shedding.
• When the extensions are damp, never brush them because this is when they are most vulnerable to breakage. Brush extensions only when they are at least 90% dry or before washing.

Be careful with heat

Heating tools like hair curlers, hairdryers, and hair iron will make things easier for you. However, if you use them too often, they will harm your hair and extensions. Damaged hair becomes dry and brittle, making it likely to fall out.

Do not use a hairdryer right after washing your hair. Wrap your hair with a dry towel and gently massage it to remove any excess moisture.
If you’re going to use heat to style your hair extensions, make sure you use a heat protectant.

The right way to store hair extensions

If you are using clip-in hair extensions, it’s critical that you preserve them properly to avoid tangling.

• Hair extensions should be stored in a ponytail so that the clips don’t catch the rest of your extensions.
• Make sure your extensions are stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, such as a cabinet, closet, or dresser drawer. Shoe boxes are also an excellent option.

• Ensure that all of the clips are closed once you’ve removed your clip-in hair extensions.
• Wrap each weft of your hair extensions around the previous one before fastening it with a delicate hair tie.
