If you are purchasing hair extensions for the first time, deciding what kind of hair to buy can be a daunting task as there are so many different types of hair extensions to choose from. There are mainly two types of hair extensions, synthetic hair and human hair extensions. While synthetic hair is low-priced and easily available, it does not last long and you can hardly ever style it the way you want for fear of breakage.
On the other hand, virgin hair extensions are expensive, rare but are just as good as human hair and are perfectly chemical free. Here’s everything you need to know about virgin hair before you give it a try:
Virgin Hair Comes In Natural Colors
Virgin hair colors can be found in a variety of colors and yet have never been dyed by chemical dyes, not even by the donor himself/herself. The beauty of virgin hair is in its versatility. Once you get your hands on the extension, you can dye it or style it however you wish because the hair has not gone through any chemical processing.
Virgin Hair Has Cuticles
Virgin hair has never been chemically treated or processed and thus it retains the cuticles. Before purchasing or trying virgin hair extensions, make sure you check for cuticles. If the cuticles are not there, it’s a sign that the hair extensions have been treated in an acid bath. To check for cuticles, run your fingers through the hair shaft. If it’s really virgin hair, it will feel smooth on your fingers, going downwards towards the direction of the hair growth.
Get a Sample
So, here’s the thing: virgin hair extensions can be extremely expensive due to their premium quality thus it is important that you test the extension before you make a purchase. Most virgin hair vendors do not offer a refund so make sure you do thorough research before you end up spending your hard-earned money on something that is not worth it. If a vendor is not offering you a sample, it is best that you stay clear as you cannot help but wonder if there is something wrong in the product being sold.
Overall, virgin hair, especially virgin Remy hair, is an excellent choice when it comes to hair extensions. Just make sure you are spending your money on the right product and you will be able to enjoy the many benefits it offers.
