Hair extensions and weaves can be made from actual human hair, but not always — it depends on the type you buy. Here's a breakdown:
1. Human Hair Extensions and Weaves
- 100% Human Hair: These are made entirely from real human hair extensions, often sourced from donors in countries like India, China, or Brazil.
- Virgin Hair: Unprocessed human hair that hasn't been dyed or chemically treated.
- Remy Hair: Human hair with all cuticles align in the same direction, reduce tangling and increase longevity.
???? These are the highest quality and most natural-looking options. They're also more expensive but can last several months with proper care.
2. Synthetic Hair Extensions and Weaves
- Made from plastic fibers like acrylic or polyester.
- Often cheaper, but they can’t be heat-styled or colored like human hair.
- Tend to have a more artificial shine and shorter lifespan.
3. Blended (Human + Synthetic)
- A mix of human and synthetic hair.
- Less expensive than pure human hair, but also lower in quality.
