Q. Human vs. synthetic hair extensions: What are the differences, and does it really matter?
A. Yes
Human hair extensions are made from a variety of types of human hair, from Asian to Indian to European. There are different grades of human hair. It is depending on how the hair has been collected, treated, and sorted. The best human hair is one hundred percent (100%) and they are the most expensive hair to purchase. Mixed-human hairs mostly, human hair mixed with some synthetic. The best hair quality is Remy’s hair. It is real human hair that has cuticles facing the same direction. Having the cuticles face the same direction creates a natural movement to the hair while keeping the hair from unnecessarily knotting and tangling.
Synthetic hair extensions are made from different artificial materials, and they are one hundred percent (100%) synthetic. They can be made from kanekalon fiber, acrylic, nylon, or polyesters, which are heated and sent through tiny micro tubes to mimic the look and feel of hair strands. Because synthetic hair is made from artificial material, it may never truly look like human hair, can be stiff or move differently, have an unnatural shine, and be more noticeable as a hairpiece.
