HAIR EXTENSIONS what to know

HAIR EXTENSIONS Your QUESTIONS ANSWERED

FROM MILAS BLOG -- there are many forms of Hair Extensions, weaves, sew in, metal or plastic crimps, Cold Fusion, Tape In and Hot Fusion and there are two main types of Hot Fusion. one uses  premade strands of hair tipped with a glue tab, this is then affixed to your hair with a heat gun. the other type of hot fusion utilizes a hot pot of liquefied keratin ( keratin is the protein your hair is made of) the Hair Extensionist then makes up a small bundle of extension hair, dips it in the keratin and attaches it to your own hair strands. both these methods produce very good resits (assuming the Extensionist is Competent) the difference is in the cost of the hair. the premade strands tipped with glue are more Expensive, than the same quality hair, non Glue Tipped.

Hot fusion when done correctly leaves much less noticeable bonds than  metal or plastic crimps,  although they all hold well.

Micro Links and Micro Cylinders also Hold Well and are Long lasting. This Type of Hair Extensions use metal or Plastic Crimps or Tubes and are easier to Install and Adjust.

Tape in Extensions Look Good and cost Less, but require more frequent Adjustments. Although when Intalling or Adjusting for Growth, they are much easier to Re Apply. They are also much easier to Remove.

Sew in Wefts or Weaves are Very Temporary in comparison. to the other methods and are usually made from Cheap or Synthetic Hair. 
 

Crown Extensions are Excellent for covering Thin Areas on The Top of The Head.

Cheap Synthetic Hair, looks like what it is. Many Brands labeled Human Hair, are a mixture of Human and Yak Hair, or other Animal Hair. You can see or feel the difference, this type of hair doesn't last as long either.
 

Considering the amount of labor, to do good looking hair extensions, it is recommended to use high quality 100% Human Virgin, Remy hair.

There are many varieties of Human Hair: Asian, Indian, Latino and European are usually all Good. European is more Expensive, but is Best for Light Colors and Blonde.

100% Human, Virgin, Remy Hair is the best and is hair from the Same Source with all the Strands going in the Same Direction. Good quality 100% Virgin, Remy Human hair is what you should choose when using Hot fusion, Tape In, Micro Cylinders or Micro Links.
