Tips when buying a hair weave

What do you have to know and consider when buying hair weave or extensions:

• Usually 2 packs are required to do a full head (that is the standard for most manufacturers of hair extensions)
• When purchasing curly hair weave be aware of the fact that even though you may be purchasing 18" the hair will appear 16". The length on the package will indicate the length of the curly hair when stretched/straightened not when in curly state.
• Consider buying texture and color that suits your natural hair texture and complements your skin tone.
  
• Most beauty supply stores or online stores will not accept requests for refund on stylist fee that a customer has paid and is dissatisfied with the product. Make sure to inspect the style and quality of the hair you purchase before you weave it onto your head. It is highly recommended that you wash the purchased hair before application to ensure top satisfaction with the quality and product.
• Human hair will be more expensive but will also last you longer
• The quality of hair goes from superior to inferior in this order:
  
  1. Virgin Remy (hair collected from 1 donor, not chemically treated),
     
  2. Indian/Asian/European Remy (hair with uniform cuticle patterns, not chemically treated),
     
  3. 100% Human Hair (pure human hair, no blends),
     
  4. Human Hair Quality (blend of human hair with heat resistant fibers),
     
  5. Futura Synthetic hair (heat resistant synthetic hair)
  6. Kanekalon (synthetic hair, most commonly used, non-flammable)
  7. Toyokalon (synthetic hair)
     
     

Super French (wet & wavy) Weaving

When we are talking about wet and wavy hair we refer to hair texture that looks different when wet and when dry.
The picture to the side illustrates the style when it is not wet. (It appears bushy and kinky).
When moistened this hair becomes more curly/wavy. You can use simply water or special wet and wavy sprays to get a more defined curl pattern.

Usually wet and wavy hair is made of Human Hair.
Examples is the Legacy Super French Weaving which is 100% remy hair.
Sometimes though this style can be made of synthetic hair.
An example is Futura Super French Weaving which is made of Futura heat resistant fiber. Futura hair can be curled or straightened, it can sustain up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

The advantages of this hair style are numerous. Click here to see a video of this gorgeous hair.
