Behind the Scenes: How Our Hair Extensions Are Made
Hair extensions have revolutionized the beauty industry, offering a way to enhance hair length, volume, and texture with ease. But have you ever wondered how these extensions are made? From ethically sourcing human hair to crafting beautiful clip-ins and permanent extensions, the journey is fascinating. Let’s explore the intricate process behind hair extensions, from collection to final product, and even how to create your own bespoke set!
Where Do Human Hair Extensions Come From?
The journey of human hair extensions begins with sourcing hair, often collected through voluntary donations or sales. Highly sought-after hair types originate from regions such as India, China, and Eastern Europe. Virgin hair, which is unprocessed and undyed, is especially prized for its strength and quality. The collected hair is meticulously sorted to meet the high standards required for premium extensions worldwide.
The Magic of Remy Hair Extensions
Remy hair extensions are the gold standard in the industry. These extensions are crafted from hair strands that maintain their natural cuticle alignment, ensuring a soft, shiny, and tangle-free finish. If you’re unsure whether extensions are Remy or not, look for key indicators. Non-Remy hair may appear dry, dull, and prone to tangling, while Remy hair remains silky and manageable.
At Cliphair, all of our hair extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair, providing a seamless and natural blend with your own hair.
How Are Hair Extensions Created?
Transforming raw hair into clip-in and permanent extensions involves a series of meticulous steps:
Sorting and Cleaning
Once collected, the hair undergoes a thorough sorting process, categorized by length, texture, and quality. It is then cleaned to remove impurities, resulting in strong, healthy strands ready for further processing.
The Colouring Process
To achieve the extensive range of shades available, hair is carefully dyed. This ensures vibrant, consistent colors while preserving the hair’s integrity. For lighter shades, hair is gently lightened, a process that can weaken strands if not performed with care.
It’s essential not to bleach or lighten hair extensions at home, as the hair has already undergone chemical processing. Instead, select from our wide range of pre-dyed extensions, guided by our Free Express Colour Match Service.
Creating Different Types of Hair Extensions
Curly hair extensions are crafted through steaming or perming processes that lock in waves while maintaining hair health. While steamed curls may lose shape over time, permed extensions retain their bounce longer. Avoid applying heat or dye to pre-curled extensions to preserve their quality.
Clip-In vs. Permanent Extensions
Clip-in extensions offer a non-committal, versatile option perfect for special occasions or daily use. Easy to apply and remove, they are ideal for beginners. Permanent options, like tape-ins or nano rings, are professionally applied for long-lasting results and blend seamlessly with natural hair.
Creating Bespoke Hair Extensions
Crafting your own clip-in extensions is simple and allows for customization. Start with a high-quality hair weft, snap clips, needle, and thread. Cut the weft to your desired size, sew clips securely to the upper edge, and you’ve got personalized extensions tailored to your style.
