There are four methods in which you wear hair extensions. These are the general terms the industry uses to represent the process. There are many variations of these methods based on the individual who is performing the job ranging from braid weave, tree braids, individuals, latch hooks, pole method and much more. Please consult with your stylist before choosing a method.
1) Weaving A process in which you create tracks on the individuals head and sew the hair extensions on. This method is the most widely used method in adding hair extensions.
2) Braiding A process in which you add hair extensions by braiding them in. There are many types of braiding techniques which varies from one skilled beautician to another. Tree Braid, Braid Weave or Individuals, Cornrow, and French Braid are just to name a few.
3) Strand By Strand A process in which the extension hair is attached directly to your own hair by heated glue sticks. In this method, an acrylic glue stick is placed inside a glue gun which heats and melts the glue. Then, the hair extension and the glue are attached directly onto the individual's hair.
4) Bonding The simplest method. A bonding glue is brushed or applied onto the weft of the extension hair and then it is applied at the root of the individual's hair. It can easily be removed by a remover the glue comes with. This is a temporary method.
Women and men of all races can wear hair extensions. Hair extensions was and still are worn predominantly by African-Amercians, but more and more people of all ethnic backgrounds are using them as an alternative hair fashion. Witness the growing number of people wearing hair extensions and feeling much better about themselves. You can also create highlights without coloring your own hair. Many individuals and hair stylists are using hair extensions to blend with their own to create highlights without dying and damaging their own hair.
So what makes one company's hair better than another?
First and foremost, the pretreated hair (the raw hair) has to be strong and healthy to produce extensions that will last and wear without tangling or drying. Healthy and strong hair will produce higher grade than a poor quality hair. This is normally found in Asian countries where females have long, healthy, and strong hair and they are untainted by chemicals. At His & Her Hair, we pick the finest raw hair at a premium price to produce our line of hair goods.
Second, how skilled a company is in processing the hair is just as important. With over 35yrs of experience, our technicians are masters in color, texture, and processing human hair so that you'll receive the best human hair extensions.
