Natural Human Hair Extensions vs. Synthetic Hair Extensions

With such stressed lives that we lead these days, it’s no wonder that many people deal with hair loss and baldness. Luckily, the market offers a great variety of products that can help cope with this illness and recoup self-confidence. Among many lotions and natural remedies, we would like to point out hair extensions as a perfect solution to hair loss. Hair extensions can be either human hair extensions or synthetic ones. Both kinds different from one another in terms of durability and maintenance. But both types of hair extensions are perfect for adding volume to hair and are ideal for people with thinning hair. Hairextensions can completely transform your look in just a few hours. 

• The main advantage of real hair is that it is far easier to look after. There is no need to treat it any differently to your own hair and it looks and feels so natural that even a trained eye cannot tell you are wearing them (when they are expertly applied). When left to dry naturally they dry with the same natural kink/wave that most people's hair dries with, meaning it blends easily without even the need for styling. Another major advantage is that there is no restriction with styling. You can use straightening irons and curling tongs freely which is not the case with synthetic hair. You also have the option of dying the real hair which is not possible with fake hair. For these reasons the celebrities usually opt for the real hair.

• Because human hair extensions are actual human hair, they have the same shade and texture of natural hair. Real hair extensions can be purchased to completely match and blend with one’s natural hair. Synthetic hair extensions are not real hair and the quality may not be quite what one is used to or expecting. There is a possibility that the extensions will not completely match natural hair in colour or texture.

• Real hair extensions can be styled in exactly the same manner as one’s own hair, with the same products and styling tools. Real hair extensions can be cared for exactly like natural hair. They can be washed the same way by using mild shampoo, conditioners, and heat protectors can be applied for styling. These hair extensions can be styled and curled like natural hair because they are real hair like one’s own hair. Synthetic hair extensions cannot be styled with the same heated styling tool that are used on real hair extensions. This is because when exposed to heat sources, synthetic hair melts. For instance, one cannot use heated curling irons to curl synthetic hair as the hair will melt. However, they are much easier to style and due to ‘memory technology’ hold a curl for quite a long time. It is possible to wash and condition synthetic hair extensions as one would their own hair, but remember not to blow them dry, but let air dry hair after washing. Detangling sprays can be used on synthetic hair extensions to stop frizz. Skin Weft Tape in Hair Extensions
