 What Is Hair Extension?

Hair extensions are strands of synthetic or human hair that are added to a person's natural hair to increase its length, volume, or both. Hair extensions can be temporary or semi-permanent, depending on the application method and the type of hair used.

For many people with hair defects, hair extensions can help them become more confident and beautiful, and enhance their courage and confidence to face difficulties.

For those who are tired of their hairstyle, hair extensions can help create a unique and attractive hairstyle and hair color. Make them more unique.

In short, choosing a luxurious hair extension has become a symbol of fashion and beauty.

  Several Of The Most Popular Types Of Hair Extensions

Tape-in extensions are pre-taped wefts that are sandwiched between sections of natural hair.

With the innovation of production technology and the change of market trends, the Tape-In series has developed into a more invisible, natural and popular product series including Injected Tape-In and Invisible Tape-In. So far, the Tape-In series is still popular in the hair extension market and consumers.

Weft Hair Extensions usually sewn the weft onto braids using professional hair extension installation threads or mico ring, which can significantly increase hair length and volume while making it easier to style.

Machine Weft (Hair Bundle) has been popular with black and white customers due to its high density, hair volume, and competitive production price.

Flat Weft: A delicate weft with a silk base(5mm). Due to its customizable single or double-layer and cuttable advantages, it is widely favored by the European, Australian, and American markets.

Hand-tied Weft VS Genius Weft: In the past, hand-tied weft has always been the most popular product in the weft series. It is soft and thin enough. It looks very natural and is easy to blend with natural hair after install.  After technological innovation, the perfect genius weft extensions have gradually replaced the hand-tied weft because of its more competitive price, no return hair, no irritation to the scalp, can be cut, and is equally thin and soft.

At present, the purchase volume of the genius weft series has far exceeded other weft series and other types of semi-permanent series of hair extensions.

Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions

Pre-bonded hair extensions, also known as fusion hair extensions, are a type of semi-permanent hair extension that involves bonding individual strands of extension hair to natural hair using a keratin-based adhesive. This method requires professional installation and offers a natural look and feel. 

Types of Pre-Bonded Extensions
Nail Tip (U-tip): These extensions have a U-shaped keratin tip that is fused to the natural hair.
Flat Tip (Flat U-tip): These have a flat keratin tip, making them less bulky.
I-tip (Stick Tip): These use small, cylindrical keratin tips that are applied with micro rings or beads instead of heat.

Clip-in hair extensions are a type of temporary hair extension that can be easily applied and removed by the user without professional help.

They consist of hair wefts attached to small, pressure-sensitive clips that secure the extensions to the natural hair. Clip-ins are popular for their ease of use and versatility, allowing individuals to quickly change their hairstyle without a long-term commitment.

 Division of professional product lines and non-professional product lines

Professional product lines and non-professional product lines refer to whether a professional hair extension stylist or salon is needed to apply your hair extensions.

 Professional product lines such as the Tape-In series, Weft series, and Pre-bonded series require skilled techniques and experience to help customers create perfect shapes, blend, and avoid hair damage. Salons and stylists provide a lot of help and suggestions. In addition, it is also very necessary to maintain and care for hair extensions after using them for a period of time, which will help you keep beautiful hair at all times.

Clip-In, Topper, Ponytail, Halo extensions and Wig are all non-professional product lines, you can wear and carry out daily care under the operating instructions or video demonstrations, and wear them perfectly without professional styling.

In this section, you can learn about hair extension production, raw materials, the impact of market trends on the final pricing.

• Hair extension production is a very tedious job that requires high technology, skilled workers, production processes, and carefulness.
• Due to the unique characteristics of hair, mechanization is difficult to apply to the production process, and a large amount of manual labor increases time and labor costs.
• Raw material procurement is a production detail that has a great impact on product quality and price. Only the best virgin braids can fade to very light colors, and they only account for 25%-30% of a batch of raw materials. At Better Hair, only the best virgin raw human hair braids are purchased to ensure the high quality of the products.Therefore the price will increase a little.

In addition to the costs of the production process, many middlemen will add a lot of profit when selling, which leads to very high terminal prices. Factory brands would be a good choice if you want to buy high-quality hair extensions within a suitable budget.

Classification Of Raw Materials: Remy Hair Vs Non-Remy Hair

When you try to buy hair extensions, a large number of hair brands will appear in your Google search bar and Amazon search bar. The prices of each brand vary, and the introduction of hair quality also makes you confused. When you want to buy good quality at a suitable price, it is becoming difficult.

But don't worry, after you finish reading this part, you will suddenly understand.

On many websites that sell hair extensions, you can see the following description of Remy hair: Remy hair is hair where the cuticles are kept intact and facing the same direction, they are not stripped.

This description is not entirely correct.  In fact, during the production of hair extensions, many manufacturers will intentionally remove the hair cuticle. Why? To reduce the risk of hair tangles and increase production capacity, and faster production capacity means higher profits.  As for the hair extension brands, whether they claim to retain the hair cuticle and call it 100% cuticle remy hair, remains to be verified.

At Better Hair, have developed a more precise definition of Remy hair to avoid consumer misunderstandings and to increase transparency and accountability in the industry.

About Cuticle Remy Hair: Cuticle Hair is collected from young girls with cuticle intact and whose hair runs in the same direction. During the production of Cuticle Hair, it is essential to ensure that the hair cuticles are kept in the same direction, from end to top. Cuticle Hair lasts for 12 months. In addition, it should be noted that in the fading process of light colors, the hair cuticle will be removed to a greater or lesser extent, so 100% cuticle protect does not exist.

About Remy Hair: Remy hair is also collected in healthy hair, however it does not come directly from braided hair. Usually the vendor hackles the braid firstly and them transforms the hair into double drawn bundles. Hair collected from double-drawn bundles makes what is known as Remy Hair. The important thing to note is that during the hackling process for Remy Hair, 5-10% of the hair cuticles directions will be reversed. In this case, we have to acid the hair to remove cuticle to remove the possibility of any tangling problem. Remy hair lasts for 6-9 months.

How do I purchase the best hair extensions for me?

Clear purchasing budget: There is a big difference in hair quality with different purchasing budgets, which is beyond doubt. If you buy cuticle remy hair extensions at a very low price, please be aware that you have been deceived.

Choose a professional supplier or hair extension brand: It is very important to choose a professional supplier, including after-sales service, professional product introduction, delivery time control, and quality control. At Better Hair, you will get all of the above professional services.

Buying in a salon: The advantage is that you can see the actual product color to better match your hair color, but the price will be relatively higher.

Choose the right type of hair extensions according to your needs: If you want to maintain your hair extensions for a longer period of time and value quality, the highest quality cuticle remy hair semi-permanent hair extension series is a good choice.
If you need to change different styles at any time, the Clip-In series may be more suitable for you. It is worth mentioning that Remy hair quality is applied for Better Hair's Clip-In series. Non-Remy does not use any product series in Better Hair to ensure the delivery of high-quality products.

What causes the low price of hair extensions?

Mixed animal hair or synthetic hair: When mixed with a small amount of animal hair or synthetic hair, it will look the same as real human hair, but you will notice that the hair is dry, tangled, and difficult to care.

Poor quality raw materials: Poor quality raw materials mean that the hair quality itself is not good. When it fades and goes through a series of process steps, the product quality will be greatly affected.

The hair end is thin: For manufacturers, hair ratio has a lot to do with cost. The lower the hair ratio, the lower the cost and the thinner the hair end. The higher the hair ratio, the fuller and thicker the hair end. When you spend a lot of money to buy hair extensions with a thin hair end, the product is definitely at a premium!

Correspondence between price and quality: Due to cost constraints, when you want to buy cuticle remy hair or Remy hair at a very low price, you can only get non-Remy hair. And you can only find the difference after using it, which is too late. For sellers with low credibility, this is what they often do, please pay attention.
