Natural or synthetic hair extensions

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

When you look into getting hair extensions, one of the most important things that needs to be decided is whether or not you are going to use natural or synthetic hair extensions. Natural hair extensions are made from real human hair while synthetic hair extensions are made from materials such as Kanekalon or Toyokalon. As a rule, synthetic hair is much less expensive than natural human hair and is not constrained to the natural rules governing human hair. Synthetic hair extensions can be extremely outlandish or completely normal. Natural human hair is the other alternative and can come in a wide range of qualities and styles. There are pros and cons for both choices.

There are a number of benefits that synthetic hair extensions have going for them. First, they are not bound by human genetics so the extensions can be any color imaginable. By this same token, they can also be any style or texture. There is also the fact that synthetic extensions are usually significantly less expensive than their human hair counterparts are. Of course, the downside is that synthetic extensions do not feel exactly like natural hair and do not behave in the exact same fashion.

The pros and cons for natural human hair quite different from those of synthetic. With natural hair, there is a great range in quality of hair from relatively cheap “dropped” hair all the way to incredibly expensive Remy arrangements. Human hair extensions will feel completely natural because they are real hair. Unfortunately, the range of colors and textures is not as extensive with natural hair as opposed to synthetic because you are limited, for the most part, to what a human could produce. Virgin hair is usually the highest quality and is not dyed in any way. Human hair also only comes in a handful of different textures that correspond with the different types of hair. Usually, these are labeled by ethnic region.

The choice of whether to use synthetic fibers or natural hair extensions really comes down to a number of factors that vary from individual to individual. The purpose of the extensions, the desired goal, the amount of money that can be spent, and how much care a person wants to invest in their extensions all need to be weighed in order to determine which type of material is best for their hair extensions.
