Human Hair vs Synthetic Hair, How to Choose
We have several high quality synthetic textures in house. However, If you're interested in Human Hair here's some helpful information .
Both Human hair and Synthetic hair can be used for Interlock / Tree Braids. The easiest way to decide which one to use is to look at your budget. If your budget is less than $500 for the entire style, I suggest going with synthetic.
Human Hair
• Usually sold by the ounce, or in 4 ounce bundles. 8-10 ounces needed for one head. $15-$50 per ounce. $100-$500 per head of hair.
• Can be shampooed, heated & curled, Some requires shampoo before installation
• May be reuseable (if you get higher quality hair $300 and up)
• Can require more maintenance and styling , sometimes has more shedding
• Can mimic the look of your natural hair
Synthetic Hair
• $30-$60 per head of hair
• Can be shampooed, most can't be heated & curled
• Not reuseable
• Requires minimal maintenance and styling, curl pattern stays, reduced shedding
Human hair isn’t necessarily better than synthetic hair. Poor quality human hair is worse than & more expensive than good quality synthetic hair. Poor quality human hair can tangle, matt &dry out very quickly. Some don’t curl well, despite its claims. If you’ve never had Interlock / Tree Braids I’d suggest using a synthetic texture the first time, then graduate to human hair later if you like.
If you’re looking to get human hair here are a few vendors that have a good product.
