Human hair extensions are an excellent solution to achieving long, flowing, and natural-looking hair. But before getting extensions, it’s vital to know that these extra inches of hair come in different forms of grade and quality. As hair is a natural product that comes from various individuals, no two sets of hair extensions will be the same. Knowing which one suits you best will help you get the look you desire. We share the factors that cause the quality of human hair extensions to vary.


Price

When you buy hair extensions in NZ, you’ll quickly learn that you get the quality you pay for. Price varies greatly with hair extensions; synthetic hair extensions are a lot cheaper than high-quality and real human hair. More often than not, cheap synthetic hair will not blend as well with your own tresses compared to natural hair that offers fuller, natural-looking locks.


The type of hair used in extensions

The texture of your hair extension will also depend on the kind of hair used to create the hair extension itself. While there are synthetic options in the market, the most natural option for extensions is human hair. Reputable hair extension suppliers will give you three basic categories to choose from when shopping for human hair extensions:


Virgin

Virgin hair extensions use hair that has never undergone chemical processes, treatments, or alterations in any way. This means no dyes, bleaches, or perms have been done after collection. Virgin hair is as natural of a hair extension option as one is ever going to get.


Remy

Also known as cuticle hair, Remy is healthy and non-processed human hair wherein each strand is carefully selected to ensure the cuticle remains intact. Remy hair runs in the same direction, allowing it to have a soft and silky texture. Remy extensions are also single-sourced, meaning the hair comes from a single person.


Grading

Grading is also important in determining the quality of your hair extensions. At Superior Hair, we have three different grades of virgin Remy hair extensions:

A Grade

A grade is medium-grade 100% human hair that has been subjected to a more basic production process. It’s one of the most cost-effective options and remains a top seller in the hair industry because of its quality and price.


AAA Grade

AAA grade is human hair that is more conditioned and designed to be longer lasting than A grade. AAA grade is processed to handle more washes yet remain soft, shiny, and healthy for longer.


Premium Grade

Premium grade is the highest-quality processed human hair that is available at Superior Hair. Premium-grade Remy hair has strength and quality that are very similar to Virgin hair and can last up to a year with proper care. The hair under this category has been gently coloured to bring you a wide variety of natural-looking hair colours.

 

Installation

The hairstylist you choose is just as important as the hair extension itself. Why? Because the fixation method and placement skills will affect how naturally your extensions will blend with your natural mane, no matter the hair texture. You need to work with a professional who knows how to apply and remove extensions professionally to avoid hair damage. Colour experience is also a must. An inaccurate colour match will make your extensions obvious. Another non-negotiable is their experience in haircuts. After extensions are put in, you’ll need a haircut that can make your extensions more natural and seamless-looking, with layers that naturally blend your own hair with your new hair.

10 Surprising Things You Didn’t Know About Hair

10 Surprising Things You Didn’t Know About Hair

  Do you have a nightly skin care routine? Of course you do. How about a hair care regime before bed?  Taking care of your hair is just as important as your nightly skincare routine. In fact, treating your hair at night time will help you make the most of your beauty sleep and achieve your hair goals. Hair care is even more important if you have invested money in quality hair extensions from Superior Hair Extensions because you know they need TLC to lengthen their lifespan. So let’s take a look at how you can change up your night-time hair care for the better. WHAT NOT TO DO We’re all guilty of going to sleep without much thought of our hair health. But there are some habits you should definitely break if you want to wake up with beautiful hair. 1. Don't go to bed with wet hair There are several reasons not to go to bed with wet hair – it can cause severe hair breakage, encourage bacteria growth on your pillow, cause hair loss, make you feel cold, and make your hair appear dull and harder to style.  If you do need to shower before bed, make sure you dry your hair before your head hits the pillow – we recommend using heat protectant and hair dryer to dry your hair.  3. Don't leave your hair tied up Leaving your hair tied up in a tight ponytail or bun can cause damage to your hair while you sleep, leaving you with broken hair around the area of the hair tie.  No one likes hair breakage, so if you do need to sleep with your hair tied up, make sure it’s in a braid, secured with bobby pins or wrapped in a loose bun.  4. Don't go to bef with hairspray on  Going to sleep with hairspray, gel or other styling product in your hair can result in transfer to your pillow, which overtime can build up and get on your face, ultimately blocking your pores and resulting in acne and pimples. WHAT TO DO There are a few simple changes you can make to your bed time routine to have your hair looking fresh and luscious throughout the day. 1. Invest in a satin or silk pillowcase Silk and satin pillowcases sound a little fancy, but you will be impressed with how sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can help to keep your hair tame throughout the night and make it more manageable in the morning. 2. Become besties with braids Not only do braids help you achieve effortless and heatless beachy waves overnight, they also keep your hair a bit more protected while you sleep. Braids work great to tame your tape hair extensions while you sleep. 3. Scalp massage for the win We all know how good it feels when you’re at your hair salon, head back in the basin and your hair dresser starts with the scalp massage – HEAVEN. But did you know that regularly massaging your scalp is a great way to stimulate hair growth.  Try giving yourself a scalp massage as you apply hair serums or treatments to make the most of your hair care. 4. Keep moisturised Moisturising plays a key part andof skin care hair care. Keep your hair hydrated by applying a deep hydrating conditioner, leave-in hair serum or restorative hair treatment once a week. 5. Make sure you get your beauty sleep Getting enough sleep seems to be the answer for most issues, but that is because sleep is an essential function to your entire body – from repairing muscles to caring for your hair.  Follow your hair care routine, climb into your pyjamas, and aim for a minimum of 7 hours of quality sleep each night.
