Accessorizing With Real Hair Extensions

Wearing the hottest hair extensions
as accessories can create fullness and or length to hair as well as creating many additional styling options. One of the newest trends in hair extensions is the use of real bird feathers which may be scattered throughout the hair or clustered in one area for a dramatic effect. Another trend which does not rely on human hair extensions are hair wraps which are created from strips of cloths and may include ceramic, metal or wooden beads. Bright pink, purple, red and black or white blonde when placed on contrasting shades create a memorable look. Jewelry including metal accents or sparkly stones may be used alone or with other accessories.

weave hair extensions may be created using various lengths and quality of originating hair. The hair is gathered from donors in many countries including Russian, China, India and parts of Europe. The wearer will have the best results with hair which is naturally the most similar to their own as it will require less processing. The term Remy hair often refers to what is considered the finest hair available from any country it has been purchased. The term though has been misused and determining actual origination may be difficult.

Hair that has never been processed in any way is referred to as virgin hair. Single drawn and double drawn are two phrases that may be used with both Remy and virgin hair. In the case of single drawn hair, the hair is basically as it came from the donor, it will have varying lengths however it should still have the cuticles all going in one direction. Double drawn hair is hair that has been matched with similar lengths of hair all from the same donor. It is more expensive than single drawn.

Fallen hair will not generally have the cuticles lined up and may mat and tangle very easily. It is less expensive and is often treated with silicon and may be difficult to distinguish for the novice shopper. When running a few pieces of hair carefully through the fingers there should be no roughness, although determining whether the smoothness is from being matched or from silicon may be difficult.

Hair that has been chemically treated through color or permanents may also be treated with silicon which disguises the damage. Depending upon the price of the hair and how the purchaser wishes to wear and care for the hair may help to determine what type of hair is chosen.

By choosing the best quality of weave hair extensions which closely resembles your own natural color and texture the wearer will have the best results. Attachment methods vary and may influence which type works best.

Long hair extensions may be sewn into wefts which will provide the most secure attachment method for the weight of the hair. Bonding and micro rings are two other methods for applying real hair extensions which work well for most hair lengths, although some shedding may occur. Feathers as well as the brightly colored hair are often attached using the micro ring. clip in hair extensions

Colorful pieces of synthetic hair as well as real hair may be used to create the hottest hair extensions for use as accessories as well. These may be combined with natural hair colors as accent pieces. They are often available as a clip in so that a night out on the town won't interfere with a work image.
