Machine Weft Hair Extensions: Virgin Malaysian Remy Straight, Natural Color 24"

At Zara Wigs we have years of experience supplying hair extensions to stylists for coloring.

Our hair extensions sold in natural color and pre-lightened colors can be colored lighter or darker. Our blonde extensions can be colored darker shades of blonde, light brown or lighter shades of red. Coloring blonde extensions dark brown or black will yield unexpected results. Our red extensions can only be colored darker. All coloring should be executed by an experienced colorist, we will not be responsible for the results. As with any coloring, test the process on a small strip of hair before proceeding to color all your extensions.

When coloring extensions, it's easier to apply the color on damp hair, make sure you saturate the hair from "root" to tip for even application. Deep condition the hair after any color applications.

Our hair extensions are 100% premium human hair and can be shampooed, styled and even colored (in most cases). You can use heat styling such as flat irons and curling irons but as with all hair, use heat in moderation to prevent damage. The hair can be shampooed and conditioned, just like biological hair, and must be cared for to ensure longevity. Whenever possible, please use a heat protectant serum on the hair, use non-drying styling products and be sure to deep condition the hair after heat use and excessive styling.

The general rule of thumb is as follows:
Adding volume or length to your own hair
100-160 grams
When adding volume to your own hair, typically your are integrating weft, clip in, micro link or fusion extensions with your own hair. For most people, 100 grams (3.52 oz) is the minimum amount of hair needed to create a good blend, but for many people, 160 grams and up gives them the right volume. The shorter the hair, the less you need, the longer the hair, the more you need.

If you're purchasing clip ins and only need a little volume, 1 set is sufficient. If your hair is short or you need more volume, purchase 2 sets to blend properly.

If you are purchasing micro link extensions for highlights 50 grams is enough hair to add highlights, 100 grams adds a little volume to biological hair and 200 grams creates a voluminous style, when added to biological hair.

Concealing your own hair (full sew in)
180-400 grams
For most women, 200 grams of hair (two bundles or the equivalent of 2 packs of hair from a beauty supply store) is sufficient for a full sew in up to 18" in length. For lengths longer than 20", most people will use more than 200 grams of hair to provide adequate fullness. For a volumized, celebrity look, 300 grams and up is common. Curly and wavy hair has its own volume and provides fullness with less hair. As a general rule of thumb, purchase 2 100 gram bundles up to 20" and 3 up to 26".

A weave is a method of applying hair extensions.

Hair extensions are applied as individual pieces, or rows of wefted hair. There are different methods of applying hair extensions, including:

• Clip in hair extensions (attached to biological hair using snap clips)
• Tape in hair extensions (rows of adhesive bonded hair attached to biological hair using double sided tape)
• Sew in hair extensions (wefted hair sewn to braided rows of biological hair)
• Micro Link Weft or Loc Trackhair extensions (rows of wefted hair attached to biological hair using silicone lined micro links)
• Micro Link hair extensions (individual tips of hair extensions attached to biological hair using silicone lined micro links)
• Fusion hair extensions (individual tips of hair extensions attached to biological hair using keratin adhesive)

At Zara Wigs, we use many different types of hair for our hair extensions. We source hair globally and process the hair in China or the USA. We provide information on hair origin in the description for each product.

In all cases we use premium quality cuticle hair and minimal processing for color or texture. Our goal is to create extensions that last and can withstand the rigors of normal wear and styling.
