Does the grade of your extensions really matter?

7A or 8A or 9A? Synthetic blend or Mix???

Have you ever wondered what these abbreviations and words even mean? When purchasing human hair extensions, knowing what to buy or not to buy is very important when you are investing hard earned cash on hair extensions. Hair is hair right? Wrong.
 In this blog I will help distinguish the difference in each type. First lets talk about MasterMix aka Synthetic fiber.

 Synthetic blend pre curled by Outre.

 Synthetic fibers are made of various different materials and contain no human hair. Synthetic fibers come in weave (weft) and single strands (bulk) for braids. They do not last as long as human hair because they can be easily damaged by friction and heat.
 There are styling limitations to using synthetic hair so it’s important to be conscious of the amount of heat that’s applied. You also can’t brush it too much. “Heated rollers are great for styling and you should wash the hair in warm water and let it air dry" says 
Celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen. 
The latest trends advertise everyone wanting the BEST Exotic unprocessed Virgin Remy Hair. The truth behind the numbers of the grading system on Human hair are noted from one supplier I researched.  http://www.ayhair.com/
 Here is there take on the grading system.

5A: Non-remy hair, suitable for low class market.

6A: Remy hair, and cuticle towards the same direction.

6A+(our best seller): Thicker hair than 6A at the bottom, that means 6A has more short hair mixed in the bundle

7A: Same quality as 6a, and 6A+, but thicker hair than 6A and 6a+

7a+: Same quality as above hair, but very slightly short hair in the bundles.

8A: Virgin human hair just from one head

10A： Virgin human hair just from one head, but better quality than 8A.

Lets be honest..in any given moment if someone were to say "Hey I love your hair" are they gonna ask is that 8A or 5A? Probably not. Myself I love some types for short term wear and the human hair 10A grade for durability for custom colored  hairstyles.  These pictures are all examples of each "type" of hair extension. Can you tell which is which? Are you team Synthetic or Team Remy? Im team what ever fits my mood and need but most important my budget.
