Hair By Ruth

Introduction

So you want to get Hair Extensions but you've heard the horror stories and you're petrified that you'll end up bald, ugly and a lot poorer when it's all over? Well, if you don't do your homework then of course this could happen. But there's a way to have beautiful hair using Hair Extensions without damaging your own hair, and in fact allowing your natural hair to grow longer and healthier in the process.

Hair comes in many qualities and apart from the method of application, the quality of your hair extension hair will determine whether or not they will look real, and how long they will last.

Bad Hair - Anything Synthetic(free flowing)

Do not use this hair for a free flowing style, you will regret it later.  Unless you want to look like you've got a shredded plastic bag stuck to your head avoid it at all times. Synthetic Hair is basically plastic and will NEVER look like you grew it (unless you are 12 inches tall and your name is Barbie). Synthetic hair is however, the best hair for your braided base for sewn in extensions.  It is used to prevent stress on your hair and provide you with a stronger base so that breakage does nor occur.

Good Hair - European Hair

This hair mostly comes from southern Italy and Spain and usually is grown very dark. Some of it is naturally straight, some naturally wavy. European Hair is what most people use for Extensions. It is durable and looks good and it will last up to a year if cared for properly.

All of the Human Hair above starts off very dark then has it's color stripped back to nothing and then it is re-tinted to all the shades available. This means that if you want platinum blonde hair it has gone through a massive chemical process to get to that color.

The Best Hair - Raw/Virgin Hair?

Virgin Indian Remy is the most popular type of human hair for extensions. From the businesswoman to the Hollywood star, although very expensive, people are demanding high quality products and are demanding the best possible hair productsand I know my customers want long-lasting gorgeous hair. Indian hair matches hair types from Caucasian to African-American, giving you a more natural look.  Virgin Remy hair has all cuticles intact and unidirectional to prevent tangling.
