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.

(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.
