My Honest Thoughts : Virgin Brazilian Hair Extensions

(Brazilian, Malaysian, Mongolian, Indian, Peruvian etc.) whatever you call it, you can't deny that Virgin Hair Extensions are more popular than ever. They are everywhere and everyone is wearing them. I must confess that since I tried "Brazilian Hair", I can never go back to synthetic hair/regular beauty supply hair. The difference in quality is very very clear.

The pros of this kind of hair extensions are that it lasts long and blends well with relaxed African (American) hair. It's also very lightweight and versatile in terms of styling. The cons are that it is can be very pricey (often overpriced), Remember price and quality are not necessarily proportional. The more expensive the hair, doesn't necessarily mean it's better quality!! 

Everything is best in moderation. But I know some friends in the UK who install 6 bundles of hair that is 600g (24oz) of hair...(how do they manage to fit all that hair on their head?!?!). Don't feel pressured to purchase that much hair; 3 bundles is sufficient and creates a natural fullness. If you want to use more, feel free to. I personally wouldn't use more than 3-4 bundles. Another thing is seeing women with extra long lengths e.g. past their belly button...  it looks unnatural in my opinion, but to each its own.

Care is important. If you don't take care of your hair extensions they'll end up looking ratty and dry. Mine got better with every wash & deep condition!!

Specs of my Virgin Brazilian Wavy Hair
  • I used 3 bundles : 14, 16 and 20 inches
  • Each bundle is 100g so I used 300g of hair total.
  • The hair came in a Natural Brown Color 
  • Very minimal tangling or shedding ( I would get 1-3 strands per week so the shedding is pretty much non-existent) I sealed my wefts so the shedding is minimal.
  • The waves came back after every wash 
  • The less product you use on the hair the more manageable it is, I use Argan Oil for daily maintenance.
A few pictures of my Virgin Brazilian Weave install:

Same Day, After I Shampooed, Conditioned  and Air dried my Hair
(When washed the does hair returns to its original wavy state)

P.S: I still have this hair and intend to use it again. After I took out my weave, I shampooed, conditioned, let the hair air dry and It returned to its original state. When my boyfriend saw the hair air drying, he thought I'd bought a new batch of hair.. that is how good this hair quality is :)

Virgin hair extensions are definitely an investment but worth it because you get so many uses out of it.

What's your opinion on Brazilian Hair?? How much hair do you think is too much hair?

Also, if you have any questions about the hair, feel free to ask :)

UPDATE: I have this hair on a 3/4 wig right now. This is my 3rd install of this hair and I  still love it. The best hair extensions I have purchased till date!!  Click Here to see pictures of my 3/4 wig and what the hair looks like currently.

  5. Thank you!
    The hair I purchased was Brazilian Wavy. It is more of a loose deep wave than a body wave.

  6. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! you've helped me tremendously! I don't usually get weaves, but I'm getting one for an occasion coming up. I had a "beachy- toussled- wavy" look in mind, but I didn't know what kind of hair to get. My stylist rec'd malaysian hair and my friend rec'd brazilian, so i googled them both, found your blog, now Im a believer of brazilian! your hair is gorgeous and exactly the look i want. My only concern is, how do i get this hair installed on my head and leave my edges out so it blends well and so I can wear a pony tail? do you think the hair will blend well with my hair in it's natural state? and how many inches is yours?

  7. I used 3 bundles (14,16 and 20 inches). None of my hair was left out, it was a invisible part weave. I wouldn't recommend doing a invisible part weave with glue instead do a sew in invisible part.If you want to wear your hair in a ponytail, you will have to leave hair out around the perimeter of your head. Brazilian Hair blends well with with relaxed African (American) hair but if you are natural you will have to straighten your hair to blend.

  10. Your hair extensions look great on you! It looks very natural. Brazilian hair extensions are beautiful because of its smoothness and luster. Plus, it is easy to manage. I also agree with you that some people who wear extensions that go until their belly buttons are too much. I don’t think I’d want to have hair that long!
