What Texture of Hair to choose?
The most popular textures of hair are as follows:
• Virgin Brazilian Hair – Is most popular due to its luxurious texture and versatility. Brazilian hair is beautiful and it makes great looking hair extensions. It comes in wavy, straight or curly patterns. The straight textures are not bone straight and tend to have light waves in it. It styles very easily, and although not recommended, handles heat well and can hold a curl all day. These extensions blend well with most natural ethnic hair textures and can last up to a year or more with proper care.
• Malaysian Hair – Is very soft and silky and lustrous. But after a few washes the luster fades into more of a natural glow. Curls hold well with minimal hair products. If you like volume and thickness, Malaysian hair is a good option because it has great bounce and heavy body. However, it has the tendency to dry out so be sure to keep it moisturized. Also, this type of hair requires less wash because of its heavy density.
• Peruvian Hair – This hair is a little coarser and thicker in texture than Malaysian or Brazilian hair. It blends well with normal African-American relaxed hair textures and medium Caucasian hair textures. Peruvian hair is multipurpose hair.
