A Guide for Selecting the Best Natural Hair Extensions

We've all been there: hopelessly staring in the mirror, not knowing what to do with our hair. Sometimes, we turn to a tried and true protective style when we simply want a break from our natural coiffures--a hair weave! 

But with so many natural hair extensions companies out there such as Julia hair and beauty company, it can be tough to know which will fit our lifestyles best and have long-lasting protection. Consider the following before your next purchase!

      

Your Natural Hair Texture vs The Desired Texture of Hair Extensions:

There is nothing worse than spending all of your gold coins on quality hair extensions and install, only to find out that your real hair and the extensions don't blend properly, even after some manipulation.  It lacks what I like to call “plantation."

Lifestyle

Essentially, you want to evaluate how committed you are to the “process“ of rocking a natural hair weave. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but natural hair weaves can be just as much work as your natural hair.

Budget:

Establish your intention for the style before setting a budget. Do you intend to keep the hair installed for 2-3 weeks or a while longer?  If you plan on the latter and have the flexibility to use the hair more than once, I suggest creating a budget that reflects this purchase as an “investment.” It may hit your pocket initially but will be well worth the longevity and quality…. which brings me to my next point.

Quality:

We hear a lot about quality when it comes to weaves like Brazilian deep wave weave and hair extensions, but how are we supposed to evaluate it from a computer screen? Whether you are online or at a physical store, remember these three important points:  

1. Transparency: This all boils down to transparency and the company’s willingness to answer important questions about their extensions. The company should be able to explain where the hair comes from, the process of achieving the natural curly texture like Peruvian curly hair and if they have a quality control system. 

 2. Reviews: This is the must.  Look up reviews and see what other people have to say about the hair. There will always be varying opinions and experiences, but if an overwhelming number of people are disappointed and comment negatively, I suggest selecting another brand.

3. Customer Service: You all know the feeling when you are trying to contact a company regarding your order and you are calling, emailing, sending smoke signals and getting no response! Or when you do get a response, the representative is rude.
