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 Cornrow For Beginners

Beginners Step-by-Step Guide - How to Cornrow Your Hair What Are Cornrows Cornrows are a flat plait originating from Africa and the Caribbean. As you may have guessed, the name comes from their appearance, similar to rows of cane or corn. 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. You don’t have to worry about cornrow styles damaging your hair. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Cornrows are a great option if you’re looking for a protective hairstyle or even to do a braid out. You just have to remember to be gentle with your hair...
