Are you thinking of buying hair extensions for the first time? One of the most common questions that women have before their first hair extension purchase is, “How do I know which hair extensions are the best?” In this article, we will help you answer that question. Below, you will find 5 criteria that you can use when selecting your hair extensions.

Is It Human Hair?

It should go without saying that human hair is ideal for hair extensions. Believe it or not though, many companies make their extensions from animal hair—more companies than you would think, in fact. That is why, when you are selecting hair extensions, you should always make sure that the extensions are made from human hair.

Is It 100% Remy?

Not only should you choose hair extensions that are made from human hair; you should also choose hair extensions that are the highest grade of human hair: 100% Remy. A 100% Remy human hairpiece will definitely look and feel better than lower quality hair pieces. It will also last much longer. Take it from us; you do not want to settle for less than the best.

Is It Handmade?

Speaking of not settling for less than the best when it comes to your hair extensions, you also don’t want to purchase hair extensions that are machine-made. Why not? Handmade extensions are much more durable, and will not easily fall apart. You should look for hair extensions that are knotted by hand, and attached to a uniquely engineered micromesh base. The process of making hair extensions by hand is much more time-consuming than making them with a machine, which is why so many hair extension companies avoid it. But what these companies gain in speed, they lose in quality and durability.

Is It Customizable?

Imagine living with the same cut, style, and color for three years. Hard to imagine? Well this is what you will have to deal with when you buy hair extensions that are not customizable. Don’t worry though: you can buy quality hair extensions that are fully customizable with regard to color, cut, and style. You can also get these hair extensions styled and treated by expert stylists. Part of the fun of wearing hair extensions is mixing up your look. Buy hair extensions that allow you to fully embrace your own unique style.

Is It Convenient?

One thing that women definitely want when it comes to hair extensions is convenience. They do not want to have to spend half their morning sewing in their hair extensions. This is why we recommend that you purchase clip in hair extensions. The great thing about clip in hair extensions is that they can be applied (and removed) in a snap. And clip in extensions can be high-quality too: it is possible to find clip in hair extensions that are handmade from 100% Remy European human hair. This will give you the best in quality and convenience.
