Information On Virgin Indian Hair Extensions

By Janine Hughes


For many, looking their personal best is always important. Often this means wearing the latest trend or showcasing a unique style. To complete the look, especially for women, looking their best includes an attention getting hairstyle. Widely popular in Los Angeles, CA virgin Indian hair extensions are both high-quality and long lasting.

Because the wefts are untreated, proper care and maintenance is important. Starting from the bottom, use a wide-tooth comb or brush when styling. During the washing and conditioning process, use warm water. The warm water helps to prepare the follicles by opening them. Also, pat dry with a towel. Using a leave-in conditioner once a week and deep conditioning once a month produces the best results. This regimen will extend the hair's life.

There are several ways to determine the authenticity of the natural hairs. For example, the root is darker than the rest of the strand. The color difference comes from the women in India working under the influence of the sun. Chemically treated wefts also have an odor. The lack of silicone coating leaves the chemical-free hairs without an artificial shine. Using small amounts of Argon oil will add shine and prevent dryness. At night, before going to bed, make sure the extensions are completely dry. Sleeping on wet extensions may cause them to tangle or develop an odor.

In its unprocessed state, this type of hair has endless styling potential. Stylists recommend using sulfate-free conditioners and shampoos. During the process, always start at the tip and lather towards the root. When heavy oils are used, the weave should be washed frequently to reduce oil build up.

There are several ways to detect authentic chemical-free wefts. Processed pieces are acid washed. The follicles are stripped and cuticles are damaged. Chemically processed hair is also shinier because it is coated with sulfate. Since it is natural, unprocessed hair will pass the split end test. This means a person will feel ridges along the follicle when it is ran between two fingers from tip to root.

The longevity of an extension depends on the care and maintenance. In order to prevent tangling during the washing and shampooing process, it's important to use warm water and start lathering at the tips. The warm water opens the cuticles. Always use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner as well as a leave-in conditioner once a week. A deep conditioner once a month will help prevent dryness.

To achieve any hairstyle that requires more volume, the stylist must install one to two extra bundles. Knowing longer lengths usually mean shorter widths on a single track, a person who wears extensions longer than 18 inches will require a greater number of bundles. The bonding technique requires less pieces and covers up to six layers.

Due to the nature of the hairs, no two bundles are identical. However, this is considered normal. It's true, they are more expensive than the typical beauty store weaves, but their longevity is between 6 and 12 months. That's nearly three to four times longer than other chemically-treated weaves.
