ABOUT HUMAN HAIR
(used in Hair Extensions)
BASICS
Hair used in Extensions must have certain essential properties:
· CUTICLES protect the hair from
harsh environmental conditions and keep it shiny as well as resilient.
However for certain reasons(discussed later) cuticles are removed from inferior
quality hair.
· NATURALLY ALIGNED CUTICLES prevent
tangling and matted hair in Extensions
· CUTICLES from different type
of hair mixed together during the collection process tend to produce disastrous
results when the hair is combed wet.
· CHARACTERISTICS of the hair used
for Extensions must be the same as the natural hair, i.e. thickness, cross-section
etc.
TYPES
· GENUINE EUROPEAN HAIR perceives a high value but there
is a higher demand from Hair Extension companies than the market continously
can supply. This type of hair is generally very thin and therefore can not
add volume to the existing hair. Furthermore European hair is mostly treated
chemically over the years before it is cut off to supply a factory. These
reasons make this type of hair unsuitable for use in Hair Extensions.
· AFRICAN HAIR though looking very
lovely is also not suitable since in general it is too short, too black,
too curly and difficult to collect.
· CHINESE HAIR considerably thicker
than European hair still is not very suitable for Hair Extensions. To make
it suitable it has to be chemically treated thereby destroying the cuticles
and making the hair dull and brittle. So the shine has to be restored by
adding a silicon layer that will incidentally be removed after a few washes.
Then the hair becomes brittle and dull again.
Chinese hair though is suitable for production of wigs, hair pieces
and toupet's. These hair replacements are usually cleaned with dry shampoo
that does not interfere with the silicon layer.
· INDIAN HAIR is very similar to
European hair because of it's same genetic origin and basic structure.
The hair is seldom treated chemically before it is cut off for collection
by a hair factory.
· BRUSHED INDIAN HAIR is still
not suitable for Extensions since during the collection method hair with
cuticles in different directions are mixed together. They have to be treated
chemically to remove the cuticles with the earlier mentioned deteriorating
results.
The standard of this hair is acceptable for use in wigs and toupet's.
· INDIAN HAIR does provide the
solution for Hair Extensions. Though only hair with perfectly aligned cuticles
in the same direction must be used.
This type of hair is cut off by Indian women at their marriage or as
a special offer to deity at a religious temple.
The cuticle layer is still perfectly healthy and intact. Weaving this
precious, high quality hair into a plait ensures that the cuticles are
all aligned in one direction. The hair is homogeneous in color, thickness
and therefore provides the best solution for an extremely reliable Hair
Extension service.
IMPORTANT REMARK
BY MONALISA!
A traditional process applying bleaching substances would seriously
damage this high quality hair. The manufacturing companies lighten and
color the hair by a sophisticated process that keeps the hair structure
intact and healthy.
Therefore it is paramount that only semi-permanent colors are used on
Hair Extensions.
