The fact that in our time the quality of hair care products has noticeably grown and their assortment has increased can not but rejoice. But no care will help to create a luxurious hairstyle, if the hair is just not enough, or it is very thin by nature. Therefore, many women who, as they say, are not rich in the spit, use extension technologies. There are several methods, like hair types, which are used in this process. European curls are used more often than others, as they are of fairly good quality and affordable.
Origin
High-quality European hair comes mainly from Germany and Austria, may be from other European countries. Final processing they are in the same region or in the United States.
There is a version that the name did not originate from the place of origin or production, but is connected with the purpose of the material specifically for European women. Such hair can be a by-product collected after combing out Slavic or even Asian. They are produced most often in China, and their quality leaves much to be desired.
Production technology
The process of preparing donor European hair for sale takes about 2 weeks. During this time, they are thoroughly processed:
- bleaching;
- staining with a new natural pigment;
- styling and combing;
- Silicone coating composition.
Self-respecting manufacturers use gentle solutions that preserve the hair structure as much as possible. Laying is done neatly, so that the cuticles are located on one side, and the scales are located in one direction. This prevents hair from tangling during further use. Silicone treatment is also designed to make hair styling easier. But for poor-quality materials, this layer simply hides the flaws.
By production of cheap analogs use aggressive chemical agents. The hairs combed out from the total mass are difficult to lay in one direction, therefore such curls will not last for a long time.
Character traits

Surprisingly, it is difficult for Russian girls to pick up hair that is suitable for their color, and accrued strands should not differ much from their own.

Curls easily fit, look great in the hair. This appearance is largely due to the protective composition, which, unfortunately, is gradually washed out. And this is reflected in the installation is not the best way. Here, European hair is lost to Slavic and South Russian.
