Real Hair Extensions Vs Synthetic Hair Extensions

Real Hair Extensions Vs Synthetic Hair Extensions

There are a number of pros and cons to real hair extensions and synthetic hair extensions. Which one you choose ultimately depends on your own personal preference. Obviously you’ll be using them to extend your existing hair, but will this be just on special occasions and nights out? Or do you plan on wearing your hair extensions daily? Here are the pros and cons of both types of hair extension:

Real Hair Extensions – Pros

• Since they are made from real human hair they are almost impossible to detect by sight or touch. They have the softness, shine and flexibility of real hair.
• Real hair extensions can be styled the same as your own hair as they are heat resistant.
• They can be dyed to match your own hair, just be careful not to colour treat them too much as they have been pre-treated with chemicals before they are distributed. Excessive colouring could damage them.
• Real hair extensions can last up to a year if they are well looked after.

Real Hair Extensions – Cons

• They are more expensive than synthetic hair extensions.
• They are not as easy to maintain and style, as with regular hair, a style such as curls will drop out after a few hours.

Synthetic Hair Extensions – Pros

• They are able to hold a style better than real hair, even in rain and humidity.
• They add more volume to your hair than real hair extensions.
• Synthetic hair extensions are more affordable than real hair extensions.

Synthetic Hair Extensions – Cons

• They do not have good resistance to heat and are likely to melt if straightening or curling tongs are too hot.
• Synthetic hair extensions cannot be colour treated.
• They typically last between one and three months before they need replacing
