Not all women can boast of thick shiny curls from nature. But this problem is easily solved with the help of false hair. Wigs, hairpins, hairpins with strands are used for this. They are able to transform the appearance in minutes, while others do not even realize that your hair has a little secret. Natural false hair is used in various cases. First of all, they are necessary for those who want to give a more aesthetic look to their everyday hairstyle. This is true for women whose hair begins to thin with age.
For those who are uncomfortable to wear a wig day after day, inlays were applied to certain parts of the head: parietal, occipital, temporal.
False hair is used when it is necessary to change for a solemn occasion. For example, if the office has a dress code, it is necessary to wear a strict hairstyle, then it does not make sense to increase your luxurious curls. For outlets, you can use the false hair, which instantly change the appearance. Among the options: hair with hairpins, half-wig or a separate pad on the bangs.
How to distinguish from artificial?
Products from natural hair have higher characteristics in terms of appearance. They look more natural than artificial, and this is very important when using wigs and linings. With all the achievements of progress, scientists have so far failed to develop a material that could surpass the natural hair in this parameter.
A wide range of natural shades, light gloss and silky texture are still unattainable for nylon and other fibers.
Since those who want to grow long hair and donate their wealth for sale a little, this material is quite expensive. The price for a branded wig can reach up to $ 1,000, while a high-quality synthetic product will cost ten times less.
There are even cheaper models that cannot boast of high aesthetic characteristics.
Hair preparation
When buying a wig or an overlay, you can not worry about the fact that they are made of foreign hair. In production, they undergo high-quality sorting and processing.
- First, they are selected on the principle of length and thickness, while removing low-quality material with split ends and increased brittleness.
- After that, the curls are washed in a soap-soda solution, during which they are completely disinfected.
- In the next stage, the most healthy hair is dyed, and thin leave in its natural form.
- At the end, the hair is ground to make it more elastic.
- The resulting material is sorted more carefully, after which wigs, hairpieces and other hairdressing products are made of hair.
How to choose?
False hair - not cheap thing, especially if they are natural. True, some unscrupulous sellers are trying to sell artificial strands under the guise of natural.
