| Human or Synthetic?
This is an age-old
question. I personally prefer human hair. A few years ago
there
would have been no question. Synthetic used to be awful. It was
only
used in cheap, low quality pieces. Now synthetic has improved
until
it's very hard to tell synthetic from human. Beware of fancy
names
attached to both synthetic and human hair. I've heard of
everything
from Cyberstuff to Superhair. The fancy trade names don't make it
a bit better.
Human hair can be
recolored when it fades. Human
hair has the unique ability to have different colors in different
light.
Human hair simply acts and feels more like your own hair did. It
is less damaged by the heat of cooking or similar activities. It
just feels more like real hair. Maybe that's because it is real hair.
Synthetic hair lasts
longer. It breaks less. It
fades less. It holds curl better, and can be recurled by
controlled
heat. There have been many instances of synthetic pieces
ruined
by someone who stood too close to the fireplace or barbecue grill.
Gray hair MUST be
synthetic or yak. Human hair is greatly
weakened when it is bleached all the way to white or light gray.
Our synthetic hair is
the very best quality available
anywhere. It is a blend of several kinds of synthetics, to get
the
best characteristics of each. If there is a certain kind of
synthetic,
or a particular blend that you want, just mention it and we can custom
blend it for you.
Our human hair is
extremely good quality. Our custom
pieces are manufactured to match the sample of your natural hair
that you send us. We make every effort to match both the color
and
texture.
Remy hair is claimed
to be the very finest quality human
hair. It goes through less processing. It is rarely used
because
of it's cost. Many companies charge as much as $400 extra for
Remy.
We keep all cost down as low as possible, so it is only $50 additional
cost from us. If you want your piece made with Remy hair
just
specify that with your order.
Yak hair used to be an
extremely expensive white animal hair. We use it quite often,
especially for the grays. It is usually used when there is a need
for natural hair due to a rare alergy to synthetics as a substitute for
the white or gray synthetics.
