Real Human Hair Extensions vs. Synthetic Hair Extensions
It is essential to understand that there are different types of hair extensions made from both real human hair and synthetic materials. But what exactly is the difference between them?
HOW HAIR EXTENSIONS AREÂ MADE
Our human hair extensions are made from top to bottom with real, unprocessed human hair that has cuticles running in the same direction. The virgin hair is ethically sourced and donated by women who have not chemically processed their natural locks in any way for a smooth, silky, long-lasting extension experience.
In contrast, synthetic hair is made of different blended synthetic fibers and contains zero human hair. Usually, these fibers are very thin plastic filaments that have been created to look like real human hair.
LOOK &Â FEEL
Real hair and synthetic extensions both come in many styles, colors, and different types of applications. The quality of synthetic fibers can vary, but they are often stiffer and move differently than a human hair. This usually gives them a wiry or coarse feel to the touch. Real hair looks and feels more natural because it is real, so it blends better with your own hair.
COLORING & STYLING
You can style human hair extensions in any way you want—making them the perfect double-duty hair extensions for both length and volume—but the same is not true for synthetic hair.
QUALITY & HOW LONG HAIR EXTENSIONS LAST
Though synthetic hair is cheaper initially, it does not last as long as human hair. Because they’re made of different materials, synthetic extensions are more susceptible than a human hair to damage from sunlight and heat. In general, people can expect their synthetic clip-ins to last a few months while many human hair extensions typically last for around one year with proper care.

It can be styled with heating tools, dyed, and cut just like your own hair. outlast synthetic options, which look less natural anyway Synthetic hairs are cheaper than real human hairs, but they cannot take heat styling well.
