What Are
Human Hair Extensions?

Why choose human hair extensions of any kind? From our overview page about hair extensions, you already know that extensions are essentially an add-on to your own growth hair. But why does it seem that this type of hair extension is preferable or at least hailed as the better kind of hair extension?

Well the nuts and bolts answer is that they tend to be more versatile. So the real question is…


Why Do You Want To Wear Hair Extensions?

If the answer is you just want to be able to manage your look more easily and like me (Charley) a bit of a fitness frog, then hair extensions are simply a way to not have to spend lots of time each morning with styling. I just want to tie my hair in a ponytail and head out the door. It's for that reason I frequently choose synthetic hair extensions

However that’s not the case for everyone so if you want extensions because you’d really like your hair to look a certain way, you’d like to heat style your hair and to a degree wear it as growth hair; then folks the better option for you is to choose hair extensions made from human hair.

Human Hair Extensions – Two Words Of Caution…

Not all human hair is Remy hair; if you’re not sure what Remy hair is or why it’s important then click here for guide to Remy hair.

Because not all human hair attachments or extensions are made of 100% Remy hair it does mean that the type of extension you buy - weaving/skin wefts (also known as weaves), heat fusion extensions (attached with glue guns), clip in extensions (removed daily), or braided extensions (braided from the root of your own growth hair) - could be prone to tangling and in worse case scenarios matting together or breaking because cuticles have been removed.

So it’s really important that you check the quality of the hair extension before you buy it.
The second word of caution is that human hair necessarily costs more than synthetic hair and it’s down to the versatility of it and the supply of human hair.

Human Hair Extensions – The Options

The option are the same as the overview page, you can have clip in extensions, pre bonded extensions, weaves or braids – it’s all down to the look you’re after; and while these looks are all difference there are some key fundamentals about caring for human hair extensions that you should be aware of in order to prolong the life of hair that you buy.

As we said at the beginning one type of hair is not necessarily better than the other, it comes down to affordability options and wearability options – and yes, we know that “wearability” isn’t a real word, but you know what we mean.
