Hair Extensions – Russian Vs European and Asian Hair

As a Hairdresser and specializing in the Trading of Hair and Applicationof Extensions, I found that hair quality and the origin of donors is of theutmost of importance to determine quality. The quality of your hair extension hair will determine whether or notthey look real, and how long the hair lasts. Please note, the following regionsdetail the process used to match hair extensions for people of Caucasian origin.

European Hair

There are a large number of hair extension artists claiming to use ‘Virgin’Russian’ hair for many hundreds even thousands of dollars, when in actual fact theyare selling  good quality European hairsourced from donors with origins in South America, Italy, Eurasian ect . This hair’s cuticle has beenharshly processed to strip out the very thick texture and dark colour pigments.To mimic western hair (Caucasian) the hair is re-tinted using fabric coloursnot hair colours to achieve the desired shade.

Indian/Asian Hair

Hair sourced from donors of Indian, Asian and Chinese donors is avery course hair strand and grows naturally very dark and very straight. Thehair is processed using the same method as European hair only more harshly. Thepigments are stripped back to nothing then a short lasting silicon coating isadded for a more realistic texture. For this reason Asian hair is usually thecheapest and most unnatural looking hair available on the market only lastingfor the short term.

Raw Virgin Russian Hair

Raw virgin Russian hair has NEVER been chemically treated and isCaucasian hair so the cuticle is not processed and stripped unlike Asian and Europeanhair. The hair reacts beautifully to salon products and remains silky evenafter lighting and colouring. Raw virgin Russian hair is widely known as the”crème de la crème” of hair and of the finest quality. The hair notonly looks the most natural but also last for years not months. Russian hair issofter, finer and more compatible with western hair allowing the hair movenaturally with more volume which means less extensions and less potentialdamage to your own hair.

Cost Factors

Due to the scarce nature of sourcing raw virgin Russian hair theinitial cost can be significantly more than European and Asian hair. Peopleonly compare prices directly, however volume and durability should also be animportant consideration. You may find that over the long term you can purchaseraw virgin Russian hair for the same price as Asian or European hair whenallowing for how long the hair will last and how many extensions you need. Chemicallytreated hair is flat and lifeless needing more hair to produce the same affectas non treated hair. In addition to volume, raw virgin Russian hair will lastfor years not months so the only cost is the cost a hair extension artist willcharge for uplifting the extensions. Many well known brands do not offeruplifting due to the poor quality and durability of the product they use. Ifhair extension artists or salons claim to offer raw virgin Russian hair but canonly guarantee the product for less than six months it is more than likely afalse claim.
