Synthetic hair vs human hair

To start off today’s agenda let’s dive into some definitions. Let’s start with Synthetic hair, as many consider synthetic as low quality hair and human hair as high quality hair but that’s not the case at all.

difference between synthetic and huma hair

SYNTHETIC HAIR.

Synthetic hair consists of fine plastic fibres, made from low-grade acrylic through a heating process and afterwards strung into strands which are subsequently laced into extensions/hairpieces/weave. 

If you are looking for a short term hairstyle solution then synthetic hair might be the way to go as it’s cheaper than high quality human hair. We also have to throw light onto synthetic hair’s headlining advantage which is its weather resistibility. It tends to keep its bouncy or wavy hairstyle through wet(rainy), relatively hot(sunny) or very cold(snowy) days. 

We here at hairstyle360 like to call it, “rock it NOW, rain or shine hair”. “NOW” because synthetic hair doesn’t endure through time and usually can last for a few weeks. Since it’s made of plastic fibres, it cannot be styled as heat applied to it through styling tools tend to melt the hair and at the end of the day damaging the product. 

HUMAN HAIR

High quality human hair on the market is usually obtained from hair donors and usually have its hair cuticles kept intact.

With 100% human hair,they tend to be high maintenance and need constant care and attention. They need to be continuously styled and cared for to keep them looking glamorous and withstand the test of time. Click here to learn how to style your human hair

High Quality Human Hair is usually expensive but hold on….. we are going to justify the price tag. Let’s start with its durability through time. Human hair can last up to a YEAR with very good and delicate care. Medium quality Human Hair can last up to 7 to 9 months depending on the high or low usage and care. 

Another top-notch quality of human hair is its versatility. Human Hair allows you to style your hair whichever way you want just like natural hair. You can also style high quality 100% human hair with all styling tools as they won’t melt under treatment since they are not made from plastic fibres.
