You can find it difficult to recognize high quality hair extensions in Singapore because when they are attached they are not easily distinguished from someones own hair. Even the bond that attaches the extensions to the hair is thin and almost invisible.
In your mind you may be saying “I know where I can have extensions fitted at half the price so why should I spend more on high quality hair extensions”.
Unfortunately as the saying goes you do get what you pay for no matter what anyone tries to tell you.
We have all seen or read about cases where some one’s extensions have very quickly ended up matted and tangled with disastrous results.
Yes this could well be down to their bad home care maintenance as hair extensions do need some care and attention.
Although more often than not it does come down to the quality of the hair that was used to make the hair extensions.
If you want high quality hair extensions in Singapore you certainly have to do your research.
As hair extensions do come in many different grades and prices.
Ranging from a mix of hair and fiber to non remy human hair all the way up to high quality hair extensions that are 100% remy human hair.
Please don’t get me wrong. I am not against the use of low grade hair or hair and fiber mixed extensions.
Because they are great if you want to put them in your hair for a few weeks for a bit of fun.
And they won’t break your bank account as they are extremely affordable.
Just as long as you do not expect them to look completely natural and so much part of your own natural hair that no one will notice.
Reasons To Choose High Quality Hair Extensions In Singapore.
Working with high quality hair extensions in Singapore
I am always amused by the look of surprise on a clients face when they have just complemented a woman seated in the next salon chair. On how nice her hair looks.
When she is told by the said lady that she is wearing hair extensions.
Now that sort of compliment is real is proof that high quality extensions are well worth the expense.
- The hair that is used for high quality hair extensions is virgin hair in other words has never been chemically treated and is guaranteed to be top-quality.
- The hair has been purchased from an ethical source.
- All the hair guaranteed to be 100% remy.
- The method of application used is gentle on your natural hair.
- You are ensured a good natural blending with your own hair.
- Only high quality bonds are used to attach the extensions to your hair.
Look For Quality Hair Extensions In Singapore Like Great Lengths.
There Are a couple of makes of high quality hair extensions in Singapore.
One being Great Lengths which is the world leader in hair extensions.
Having been in the production of hair extensions since 1991 they continually strive to push the boundaries in the extension market. With their hair colors and their bonds.
All of their hair extensions are hand crafted in Italy using only 100% Indian remy hair.
I have worked with these extensions in the salon for many years and highly recommend them as the hair does keep its condition and shine.
In addition by knowing that the hair used to make the extensions is certified 100% ethically traceable. I feel very comfortable working them.
Good Quality Hair Extensions Use Only 100% Remy Hair.
High quality hair extensions in Singapore will use only 100% human remy hair
Now virtually every maker of hair extensions claim they use remy hair even if they don’t.
Remy hair extensions cannot be advertised at $2 per strand.
As this is an impossibility.
Remy hair is of the highest quality which makes it the most expensive hair for the makers of hair extensions to purchase.
What Is Remy Hair?
What is remy hair? This is a question that I get asked a lot by clients who are inquiring about hair extensions.
To qualify as remy hair all the cuticles of all the hairs must be facing in the same direction.
Which company’s achieve by first purchasing only bundles of remy hair.
The bundles must then be kept in their original condition throughout the entire process of making the hair extensions.
The reason for quality extensions using only remy hair and keeping the cuticles of the hair all facing in the same direction.
Is to ensure that your hair extensions will be smooth and tangle free.
Yes remy hair will definitely cost you more. Because you have the guarantee that the result will always look natural and have a healthy appearance.
High Quality Hair Extensions Always Keep The Hairs Cuticle Intact.
Quality hair extensions such as Great Lengths use a patented osmosis bath process to slowly lighten their virgin Indian hair.
This natural de-pigmentation gently lifts the dark natural pigments from the cortex area of the hair.
A process that can take up to 20 days to complete
During this slow de-pigmentation process the color molecules are removed without affecting the original condition of the hair.
Therefore leaving the natural layer of the hair cuticle preserved.
This in turn will keep the shine and elasticity in the hair extensions.
Beware Of The Imitation Remy Hair Extensions.
When looking for quality hair extensions in Singapore be aware of imitation remy hair extensions.
They will work out a lot cheaper on your wallet but you could find that over time there are complications.
Non remy hair is quite often used to produce hair extensions.
And to give this hair the illusion of being remy the hair is put through a fast and aggressive acid treatment.
Which in fact does strip the hair color but also at the same time the hair cuticle.
This will then leave the hair in an over stressed and rather brittle condition. Much like over chemically treated hair.
To overcome this condition the hair is then dipped into a silicon bath.
With a layer of silicone coating the hair shaft the extensions will have a healthy shiny look.
Unfortunately, this is only a temporary fix. As each time the wearer washes her hair extensions the coating of silicon will slowly wear away.
Leaving the extension hair once again dull and brittle which then leads to problems with tangled and knotted hair.
Why The Method Of Attachment Matters On High Quality Extensions.
Most times when you have hair extensions attached the cause of breakage is due to an inferior hair extension attachment system.
Extensions that have been attached using a wax or metal clip or for that matter any hard compound.
Will cause a problem. Due to the attachments inability to flex when your hair gets wet.
The need for the flexibility in the attachment is important as your hair strands do expand when wet.
Because your hair strands expand but the hair extension attachment doesn’t you are literally strangling your hair.
Putting pressure on the strands which will lead to breakage.
High quality hair extensions do make their bonds with a synthetic keratin.
The patented synthetic keratin bond is flexible and expands as your hair expands when it gets wet. Contracting once again when the hair is dry.
