The Rapid Popularity of Synthetic And Human Clip In Hair Extensions



Clip in hair extensions are a new fashion accessory that is creating global interest as a 'must have' beauty product. There are various colours, textures and sizes and can change your appearance in just a few minutes. These clip in hair extensions can be bought in two types of hair. Human and synthetic. Human hair is more costly and is at the top end of the extensions market, but both have their advantages.

Synthetic hair is very natural looking and comes in a wide selection of colors, textures, and lengths just like natural hair. The synthetic hair itself is made of a wide array of different synthetic fibers and is simply very fine plastic strands. Synthetic hair is man made that is made to imitate your own hair and is made up of Kanekalon and Toupelon fibres and MUST NOT be colored, permed or curled with a curling iron, as it will melt if exposed to high heat. It is far less expensive than human hair and is often only ever used as a one off. Synthetic hair is recommended for those looking for ease of style and care and is easier to handle, due to its ability to hold the basic curl after it has been washed. It is also a lot lighter than human hair, so puts hardly any strain on your hair and scalp.

However, human hair is more versatile than synthetic hair because it can be colored, relaxed, or curled with heating appliances just like someone would do with his or her own hair. Human hair is bought from people who grow their hair long, cut the tresses, and then sold to manufacturers. It can be washed as normal, although there is a range of better suited after care products specifically made for human hair extensions. It can also be coloured with hair dye. Human hair is better suited for use with free-flowing styles as it is much more tangle-free, softer and shinier than synthetic hair. It is smoother and silkier than synthetic fibers and can be worn in the sun, near heat, or in the swimming pool and sea. Human hair is more durable; and lasts up to six times as long as synthetic hair.

There are loads of different clip in hair extensions on the market, from all over the globe. These are widely available online and plenty of salons offer hair extension services including bonded hair extensions.
