Specializing in the trading of hair extensions, I found the origin of donors is of the utmost of importance to determine quality. The quality of your hair extension hair will determine whether or not they look real, and how long the hair lasts. Please note, the following regions detail the process used to match hair extensions for people of Caucasian origin.
European HairwigsThere are a large number of hair extension artists claiming to use Virgin Russian hair for many hundreds even thousands of dollars, when in actual fact they are selling good quality European hair sourced from donors with origins in South America, Italy, Eurasian ect . This hairs cuticle has been harshly processed to strip out the very thick texture and dark colour pigments.
To mimic weste hair (Caucasian) the hair is re-tinted using fabric colours not hair colours to achieve the desired shade. wigsIndian/Asian HairwigsHair sourced from donors of Indian, Asian and Chinese donors is a very course hair strand and grows naturally very dark and very straight. The hair is processed using the same method as European hair only more harshly.
The pigments are stripped back to nothing then a short lasting silicon coating is added for a more realistic texture. For this reason Asian hair is usually the cheapest and most unnatural looking hair available on the market only lasting for the short term. wigsRaw Virgin Russian HairwigsRaw virgin Russian hair has NEVER been chemically treated and is Caucasian hair so the cuticle is not processed and stripped unlike Asian and European hair.
The hair reacts beautifully to salon products and remains silky even after lighting and colouring. Raw virgin Russian hair is widely known as the "crème de la crème" of hair and of the finest quality. The hair not only looks the most natural but also last for years not months. Russian hair is softer, finer and more compatible with weste hair allowing the hair move naturally with more volume which means less extensions and less potential damage to your own hair.
