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 structure. So, if its the BEST hair they produce, they call it Grade AAAA (4A) or Grade AAAAA (5A) and now Grade AAAAAA (6A). If  its a lower quality they might call it Grade AA or 2A, which is supposed to be of inferior quality.
Ladies, do not  fall for the hype. I am not trying to bash anyones business or burst anyones bubble but do your HAIR research. Don't just take my word for it. The grading system is all a farse. Just another way of making you think that the hair you have right now isn't good enough. Every month they come up with a higher grade.  Just like a cellphone.  The only difference is a cellphone has updated technology.  Hair from someones head that was supposed to be 100% upgrades to what???  hmmmm, think about it.   Give it a few months and there will be a Grade AAAAAAA (7A) Tell me.............did the Hair quality improve from the donors or are they now using less animal hair in their extensions? Truth be told.

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 ...
