LET'S BEGIN
There are plenty of reasons why you should not purchase cheap hair extensions. We are going to walk you through the major reasons not to spend your money on low-quality hair.
The number one reason is that you can’t bleach them is because the cuticles are not aligned. Because of this the hair won’t hold the colour properly and dying the hair will cause massive damage because the cuticles of the hair are all over the place, resulting in a very short hair lifespan. With low-quality hair, you can still style and heat it, but it will not last for a long period of time — maybe even as short as 4 weeks!
Something to keep an eye out for is that this type of hair normally has been processed with various types of chemicals. This hair is often dipped in a silicone bath to mimic the alignment of cuticles and this is why it’s of lower quality. Furthermore, the chemicals in it may trigger an adverse reaction to your scalp.
Have you ever wondered why your cheap hair extensions have a bad smell when you use a hot iron on them? This is because of those chemicals that have been used.
With virgin hair extensions, however, you won’t have any of these problems because the hair is from a single donor and has never been processed. If the virgin hair is coloured, such as blonde, then the only procedure that may have been done is bleaching. Virgin hair is therefore a fantastic choice because it has the longest lifespan and is of top-notch quality.
