Weave Brazilian Hair With Your Own To Achieve Those Sexy Locks

April 16, 2015

Short hair may be the preferred style for a lot of women nowadays, what with the need to keep things utilitarian and all, but there is always room for the sexiness of long hair. Look at many of today's top actresses and models and you will see yards upon yards of perfect hair. The problem with having long hair for most women is that it is high maintenance and takes a long time to grow. There is a shortcut though. Hair extensions bought from reliable sources like Her Hair Company and others are a good compromise to get long hair. It is expensive but looking good is often worth the price. Lindsay Colameo, an assistant web editor for Allure, talks about how to pick out the right hair:

When it comes to purchasing hair, you get what you pay for. Price will vary greatly based on quality of the hair, as well as the desired quantity (for thickness) and length. Virgin (never-before-processed) Remy human hair is the highest quality and runs upwards of several hundred dollars per bunch (and some heads may require more than one). "The hair cuticle is preserved, instead of stripped, and all the hairs run in the same direction, maintaining that natural soft, silky texture," says Conner. Synthetic hair is much cheaper ($50 to $100) but won't blend or style the way human hair does. "It can't always withstand heat styling and tangles easily," says Chabbi. It can be a great way to try out extra length or bangs without a big commitment, though.

Using human hair extensions is the best choice in terms of durability and quality. These extensions have been screened to emphasize their shine and bounce so there should be no hesitation in choosing to weave Brazilian hair with your own. Weaving is one of the main options for adding extensions and entails having a woman's hair braided and using thread to sew in the added hair. Other methods include using tape or to fuse the hair with heat.

After the stylists weave Brazilian hair with the ones already there, the question now is how to keep and maintain it. Maintenance often takes the form of extra gentle care, making sure to avoid tugging at it and oils to keep the hair extensions connected. Take good care of your hair extension and it should last for months of being beautiful. (Source: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Hair Extensions, December 19, 2013)
