The Origin & History of Hair Extensions http://www.sishair.com/the-origin-history-of-hair-extensions Among all types of hair extensions, remy hair especially virgin hair is the best one to choose since it is natural human hair and can better fit your own hair. However, human hair from different origin places can have different qualities according to varieties of lifestyles and eating habits all over the world. So it’s important to know the best places to produce good quality human hair extensions.
Remy hair is the highest quality of hair available for hair extensions. It is made from human hair and sewn into a "weft," or a long strip of hair, in a way that most naturally replicates the way hair grows on the head. The biggest characteristic of Remy hair is that the cuticles are kept intact. This means that all the roots are at one end of the weft, and all the tips are at the other. Remy hair
can be tangle-free, smooth and sleek. The best virgin hair comes from Peru and Brazil. These virgin hairs are mostly black and curly while few are straight. And there are also Brazilian non-virgin remy hairs which have varieties of colors and styles. These remy hairs were chemically processed to dye it into different colors in demand of different needs but the cuticles of these hairs are still kept intact and maintain the good quality. Another type of high quality virgin hair comes from India. The reason why Indian virgin hair is so popular lies in the religion belief of Hinduisms. According to the Hindu faith, young men and women must have their hair shaved without any chemical process and it so called ‘temple’ hair. These donors even didn’t get paid for their hair devotions. Every year, the amount of pilgrims visiting Hindu temple in Tripalu can be 20 million and some of them donate their virgin hairs there. This kind of free donation keeps the running of the temple and gives the blessing to the pilgrims. What’s more, this kind of virgin hair won’t be chemically processed during manufacture and can be kept intact for customers to buy. In Asia, not only India produces lots of hair extensions but also Malaysia. In fact, most of the human hair extensions sold at market are Asian people’s hair. Asian hairs are always black due to the genetic reasons, and they also have a good hair quality and hair donation has also become a source of income for some of the Asian families. Some hair dealers seek for hair from Eastern European and convince women from countryside to shave off their hair with a low price, which can be really immoral and not really fair for the donors. From the information above, we hope you can have a better understanding about the different hair extensions products and their origin places then make better decisions on purchasing.
