Hair Extensions still one of the best styles for 2008
Hair extensions are made from a range of human and synthetic fibres. Synthetic fibres include Kanekalon and Toyokalon, and can differ from brand to brand. Synthetic hair in general is less expensive than human hair, and is available in a wide array of colours and textures, from natural to extraordinary. Human hair is available in many different grades, and is usually advertised by ethnic origin; India, China and other Asian countries are the top suppliers for 'virgin' or unprocessed hair. Eastern European countries are the source of 'Caucasian' hair.
Hair styles and trends tend to come and go just like the seasons and for most of us it can often be hard to keep up! Well you may not have to worry about this anymore. There is one hair trend that has, to be fair, been around for a fair few years now but that has failed to go out of fashion. The hair trend that I am talking about is of course hair extensions!
Hair extensions over the past few years have been sported by all of the top celebrities. Throughout the year, most magazines that you have picked up will have glossy pictures of the hottest celebrities all wearing hair extensions. Even to this day you will still see them gracing the covers of some of the biggest magazines and if the celebrities can wear a trend for this long then so can you!
Hair extensions come in a variety of styles and from a variety of sources. They are categorised in a number of ways. One way in which they are categorised is through their quality. The quality of hair extensions is often specified in the following ways:
Virgin hair This indicates that the hair hasn't been coloured or processed in any way. This virgin hair is collected by tying off the hair to maintain the direction of the cuticle and then cut. After the hair is cut and collected it can be sewn on a weft, pre-bonded, made into wigs or left in bulk form depending on how you are having your hair extensions applied.
Remy This is a term used when all of the hair is human plus when 'close to' all of the strands (e.g. in one weft) are strictly organised with the roots in one direction and the tip to the opposite end. Remy hair in general last much longer than non-remi and tends to stay shiny and tangle free longer. This is based on the fact that every strand of hair is biologically keratinised skin cells organised in layers overlapping one another.
To many people hair extensions often sound too good to be true and as a result many people often believe that there has to be a catch and in most cases people often think this catch is that hair extensions will cause damage to your natural hair. This isnt true! As long as your hair extensions are applied and removed by a professional you have nothing to worry about. Your hair will remain in the exact condition it was in before you had your hair extensions applied.
So if you are looking for a new style or trend look no further than the help of hair extensions.
