How to choose the correct length when buying HairExtensions


Hair Extensions come in different lengths.  Choosing your  length is very important when buying extensions.  Since we are all different heights and sizes,  the extensions will not fall the same way.  It is a good idea to have a particular look or style in mind.  If you are not sure,  ask  yourself, are you looking to add extensions for length or fullness?  Once you figure  that out, it is time to begin measuring.



Using a clothing  measuring tape (the soft one),  measure  your own hair and then decide on how much length you would like to add.  For example, if  the  length of your natural hair  is 10 inches and you would like to add 4 inches, you will need 14 inch extensions. If you want a full head of extensions with no leave out,  place the  tape on the  Crown of your head and bring it  down to your desired length.  Have a friend help you to hold the tape at the bottom while you hold the tape measure on your crown.   Then, write down the results.  If you want a partial weave  with your crown area left out, then it is best to start measuring from the top of your ear downward.  It is very important to measure properly to achieve the hairstyle you desire.

Remember when buying Curly hair or Deep Wave hair,  the hair is not stretched out straight, so it will appear shorter.   We recommend that you add 2 inches to your desired length so that you won't be disappointed the day your hair arrives.

How To Create a Cornrow Braid To create the style, start by dividing one to two inches of hair from the top into three parts. Cross the right section underneath the middle one, then do the same with the left section. Now pick up hair from the sides, adding them to your strands before repeating the weaving process. Keep doing this until you reach the ends of your hair and secure it with a hairband. Remember not to leave any hair in the middle. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a standard Dutch braid instead.

The Truth About Chinese Hair Extension Grading (4A - 7A) System!

 In the United States we use a grading system for EVERYTHING!  According to the* U.S.D.A. grading is based on standards and standards are based on measurable attributes that describe the value and utility of the product. Standards for each product describe the entire range of quality for a product, and the number of grades varies by commodity. For example,  there are 8 grades of beef, 3 each for chicken, eggs & turkey,  32 grade standards  &  specifications for dairy products and more than 312 fruit, vegetables & speciality product standards.* So, with all that said, what are the standards for which Human Hair is graded?? You guessed it............there is none.  The US doesn't have a  regulatory agency for Hair. Manufacturers and processors from overseas have gotten wind on how grades are important to us in the western world so they have gotten together to give us grades based on on their own internal quality...
