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??

Why I decided to wear a Hair Closure

As time when on and I began seeing Celebrities on television wearing lace closures and silk closures, they looked beautiful! It was difficult to tell if it was their natural hair or not.  The hair looked as though it was growing right out of their heads!!  I was so amazed!   They had me fooled.  LOL!   So I broke down and bought a Brazilian Silk Lace Closure to compliment my Brazilian Body Wave Hair from Mayvenn Hair.  It was one of the best hair decisions I have ever made in my Hair Career:  No more dry or broken leave outs due to the curling iron or flat iron. I was able to give my hair a rest.  I looked fabulous everyday with no effort. My weaves last for a longer period of time. Learn 3 things you must do before installing your weave.
