Hair weaving when human or synthetic hair is weaved or braided
into existing natural hair. It is also known as Hair Integration.
The hair extension is woven to cornrowed hair. Not maintaining hair
extensions properly can cause breakage.
High quality extension hair, usually hair that has never been
processed ("virgin hair"), includes all donated textures
of American hair, European hair, Brazilian hair, Indonesian hair,
and Indian hair. All high quality extension hair can be chemically
altered to make certain that it is the texture one desires.
The benefits of hair weave or hair extensions are that one can wear
any texture without worrying about her own hair whether it is chemically
processed or unprocessed. Weaves and extensions allow thin hair
to have volume, add length to hair, and add texture.
Human Hair
Most human hair used for weaves is derived from the continent
of Asia (China, India, and to a very small degree, Southeastern
Russia). People in the third world grow their hair for sale to specialty
buyers who sell it to manufacturers. Lower-quality "human hair"
extensions are often diluted with animal and synthetic hair to lower
the price. Yak hair can be curled, permed, relaxed, and colored.
Human hair is, however, more versatile than synthetic hair because
it can be colored, relaxed, or curled with heating appliances just
as one would do with his or her own hair. But, many people are allergic
to yak hair so suppliers are using human hair treated to mimic the
African/African American texture.
As the weave wearer would want the hair to match the texture of
his/her hair in its present condition (relaxed, curly, or straight),
weave hair comes in a variety of textures: yaki (closely resembles
relaxed hair texture), silky (resembling very straight Asian hair),
European texture hair straight (Europeans do not generally sell
their hair, so called "European hair" usually comes from
India or China), curly (ranges from tight corkscrew curls to the
varying degrees of wavy), and crimped (very small, sharp waves).
There are different grades of hair. The highest grade comes from
young donors, is gently processed, careful not to damage the cuticles,
and of "Remy" designation. Remy means the hair's cuticles
are facing the direction in which they grew. Poorly processed hair
can also be Remy. Let the buyer beware.
The same maintenance that one would apply to his or her own hair
should be applied to the human hair to keep it in good condition.
High quality 100% human hair is more expensive than hair mixed with
other materials (synthetic hair is most common).
