Synthetic Hair vs Human Hair Extensions: Which is better?

Synthetic Hair vs Human Hair

 *The Good the Bad and the Ugly*

Which way to go? Which is better? When purchasing hair extensions do you go with the synthetic hair or the human hair?

Synthetic hair extensions are very different then real human hair extensions. The number one difference is that one is FAKE and the other is, well…not! AND you can totally tell when its fake or not.  Personally, I prefer human hair extensions and here is why.

Synthetic hair has an unnatural shine that does not look very attractive in your hair. Many girls will choose to wear synthetic hair because its cheaper. It could be nice if you are wearing extensions for a night (like a one time thing) or if you are dressing up like for Halloween or something like that. Synthetic hair unlike human hair cannot take heat the same way that human hair can. If you try straightening or curling your synthetic extensions, guess what will happen? It will MELT or even worse it may BURN. What happens if you want to change the color of your synthetic extensions? Do you dye them? Well synthetic hair actually does not take hair dye very well, so you cannot rely on them to be the color you want. Synthetic hair also seems to have a tendency to get into so many knots and tangles that it can be nearly impossible to brush out. Just that can be a mission in itself!

 

Human Hair is a better choice when it comes to hair extensions. Human hair is pricier, but of course it is because it cannot be manufactured with machines the same way that synthetic hair can just be made, plus it has many benefits that synthetic hair does not. Human hair extensions can be styled; it can be dyed, curled, or straightened like your own hair.  Human hair has a natural shine and texture to it that cannot be replicated.  It will look more natural and will last you longer.

Choosing hair extensions for the first time can be tricky. Many times someone can order human hair extensions and that is what they get, but inside mixed with the human hair there are synthetic strands of hair. This is not good. If there are synthetic hairs mixed with your human hair it can cause issues. If you try to straighten your extensions, you will notice that some strands will MELT or BURN.

I do not understand why some companies would be ok with mixing synthetic hair (and sometimes even animal hairs) into some perfectly good human hair. I know that it saves a lot of money especially when ordering hair in bulk, but it looses the trust of the customer when they find out its fake hair! There are many reputable companies out there so you do not need to worry. Just make sure to look at company reviews before ordering and know what your getting yourself into. 

When it comes to hair quality we know there is at least one place you can rely on. Celebrity Strands Hair Extensions are voted #1 in hair quality. It is easy to tell right away that only the best hair is used. Celebrity Strands uses remy human hair, which means that all the cuticles of the hair face the same direction. This prevents tangling and it gives the hair the most natural look.  Take a look at Celebrity Strands Extensions testimonials to hear what other customers have to say about this brand!

I would love to hear what you think about Celebrity Strands. Every opinion counts.

 (Here is what one Celebrity Strands customer has to say:

Ombre Hair- Taking the world by storm (now you can get it too!)

Celebrities are doing it and so is everyone else. Ombre hair has become more and more popular and we just cant get enough of it.

Ombre is not only affecting our hair styles, but our clothes and girls you know our nails too! Its just beautiful when our nails start from a beautiful dark color and fade into a beautiful light color! Its even more beautiful when it fades into a totally different color!

Today, lets talk about hair! Ombre hair is really taking the world by storm.  More and more women are leaving the salon or their home with darker roots and lighter tips.  At first it just looked like they dyed their hair and did not get it recolors for years. I bet that’s how ombre hair even started. Funny thing is that now women are doing it….on purpose….AND it looks GREAT! 

Many women are dying their tips lighter then their roots and it blends into this beautiful new fashion. For women that have light hair already they are doing the reversible ombre look and dying their tips darker.

There are many people out there that love this new trend BUT :

•  Don’t want to make the commitment of dying their tips.
• Always want to change their style.
• Scared it wont look good on them and then it will be too late
• Don’t like to dye their hair.
• Don’t have long enough hair to even have this option.

Lucking there is a really simple solution to all these concerns.

Instead of actually dying their tips many women will use extensions. Clip in extensions is the best option for getting ombre hair without the commitment.  They are easy to use, easy to clip in, easy to take out and it will give women the long full hair that they want anyways without damaging their hair.

When ordering clip in extensions for the ombre look make sure to order the color that is lighter then your hair. That way you can get the effect you are looking for. If you want the reversible ombre where the tips are darker then the roots so pick a color that will be darker then your natural hair.

To order Celebrity Strands extensions just visit http://www.celebritystrands.com under the SHOP tab you will find 4 different options of lengths. Choose the length that you feel the most comfortable with. I would personally recommend the 21” extensions. It is not too long and not too short and there is enough hair to curl them to have it blend in with your own hair.  (If your hair is really short so the 18” extensions might work well for you. ) Once you choose the length that you want you can go ahead and choose your perfect color. I really like the color #8 which is a dirty blonde color. I think it is a nice color for the ombre style. This of course depends on the color hair you have. If your hair is dark brown or black then I think the #8 is perfect.  Once you choose your color and procede to checkout you want to let Celebrity Strads know that you are buying the extensions for the ombre look. So make sure to use the coupon “OMBRE” when you checkout. This is a good idea since you will also save on your purchase.

Once you order the clip in extensions through the website, they will usually take around 3-5 business days to arrive.  That is when the fun begins!

I am like in love with the ombre style.  Every time I see someone with ombre hair I feel the urge to go up to them and talk to them about their hair (and I usually do end up talking to them about it) It was actually just a few days ago when I went to some café with a few friends and at the register there was a young woman maybe in her mid twenties that had ombre hair but she was wearing them in two braids so it was hard to see properly. I of course was so excited to see the ombre hair and immediately commented on it. She was so excited about her hair so she actually unbraided her hair so she could show me better. Even though there were people waiting in line. It was great.

Anyway I just told this story so you girls can see how much I adore this hairstyle and how beautiful it is to me. PLEASE,  send me your ombre hair pictures. I would love to see how they look. Let me know if you order the clip in extensions and send me your pictures. It will make my day!

Thank you and piece out!
