WHAT ARE HAND TIED HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Hand tied hair extensions consist of small sections of human hair that are knotted by hand onto a tiny rope base. Compared to machine-wefted hair, the hand tying technique allows the hair to move and bounce more naturally like your own hair. The knots are small and tight, often only 0.5 to 0.8cm in size, to lay flat against your head for a seamless blend. Good quality hand tied hair should use 100% Remy human hair with intact cuticles to prevent tangling and shedding.
TYPES OF HUMAN HAIR MATERIAL FOR HAND MADE HAIR EXTENSIONS
When buying hand-tied extensions, one of the most important choices is the type of human hair used in the wefts. Here are some of the most popular options:
- Brazilian Human Hair: From Brazil, this hair is soft, silky, and versatile for straight or curly styles. It blends well with relaxed African-American hair.
- Peruvian Human Hair: With a luxurious silky texture, Peruvian hair is lightweight, easy to style, and works for all hair types.
- Indian Human Hair: Indian hair is thick from roots to ends and mimics African American relaxed or natural textures beautifully.
- European Human Hair: From Russia or Italy, European hair is naturally straight with lots of shine. It’s ideal for Caucasian hair textures.
- Chinese Human Hair: Chinese virgin hair is thicker and more affordable. It can be permed or colored to match various hair types.
- Malaysian Human Hair: This hair is ultrasoft and smooth from Malaysian donors. It blends seamlessly with medium-textured hair.
For best results, choose 100% virgin or Remy human hair in a texture that matches the characteristics of the ending user’s own hair.
