Features and characteristics of European hair extensions

The fact that in our time the quality of hair care products has significantly increased and their range has increased, cannot but rejoice. But no amount of care will help to create a luxurious hairstyle if the hair is simply not enough, or it is very thin by nature. Therefore, many women, who, as they say, are not rich on a braid, use extension technologies. There are several methods, as well as the types of hair that are used in this process. European curls are used more often than others, since they are of fairly good quality and affordable.

High-quality European hair comes mainly from Germany and Austria, maybe from other European countries. They undergo final processing in the same region or in the USA.

There is a version that the name did not come from the place of origin or production, but is associated with the purpose of the material specifically for European women. Such hair can be a by-product collected after combing Slavic or even Asian. They are produced most often in China, and their quality leaves much to be desired.

The process of preparing donor European hair for sale takes about 2 weeks. During this time, they undergo thorough processing:

• bleaching;
• coloring with a new natural pigment;
• styling and combing;
• silicone coating.

Self-respecting manufacturers use gentle solutions that preserve the hair structure as much as possible. The styling is done carefully so that the cuticles are on one side and the scales are in the same direction.This prevents hair from tangling during further use. The silicone treatment is also designed to make hair styling easier. But in low-quality materials, this layer simply hides flaws.

European hair comes in a variety of shades from light blond to fairly dark. Surprisingly, it can be difficult for Russian girls to choose hair that matches the color, and the extended strands should not be very different from their own. It is worth noting, though, that European hair is easy to dye. Strands are offered, both straight and wavy, and even curly, for almost every taste, allowing you to create original images.

The choice of types of manufacturing is also wide. You can find on sale European hair in capsules, cut, on tresses, ribbons and hairpins. Of course, thanks to such an assortment, it will not be difficult to determine the extension method, since the desired type of strands can be selected for any method - hot, cold, and ultrasonic.

In appearance and to the touch, European hair, if its shade and structure are well matched, practically does not differ from natural. When the strands are new, just bought, they are silky, smooth and shiny. Curls fit easily, look great in a hairstyle. This appearance is largely due to the protective composition, which, unfortunately, is gradually washed out. And this is reflected in the styling not in the best way. Here European hair is inferior to Slavic and South Russian.

It turns out that the quality of this building material is not the best. But on the other hand, they are much cheaper in price. In order to grow medium-length hair for one head, you will need about 110 strands. This number of European curls costs about 4,000 rubles on average.

Among the available characteristics are the following advantages:

• variety of shades;
• a wide range of types of manufacturing;
• natural appearance;
• low cost.

There are also disadvantages:

• short term of operation;
• rapid loss of sight;
• often come across low-quality counterfeits.

Determining what quality hair is offered is not always easy. It is best to focus on the material of reputable manufacturers and its price when choosing. Still, a good product cannot be very cheap. European hair of proper quality can last a year or more (the warranty is usually 12 months).

Good care can extend the lifespan. To do this, you need to follow simple rules:

• when washing it is better to use shampoos for oily hair, without alcohol;
• after water procedures, nourishing masks should be applied, avoiding application to capsules;
• the first shampooing after building is recommended no earlier than 2 days later;
• during these procedures, you cannot twist your hair, you need to try not to pull it;
• combing wet strands is not worth it, you must wait until it dries completely, it is better not to use a hairdryer with hot air;
• when using a curling iron or ironing for styling, do not allow strong heating, trying not to touch them to the attachment points of the strands;
• at night, it is better to braid your hair in a loose braid.

This is not to say that all the reviews about the use of European hair are unambiguously positive. There are also negative comments, most often associated with the fact that the strands do not last long, they quickly begin to get confused.Girls note that hair extensions do not stand up to correction. But this most of all concerns cheap fakes.
