Why is Indian Hair so Popular for Extensions and Weaves?
Some of us are just lucky in the hair department. The industry of extensions and weaves was
born from women, who were not born with the natural style they crave. That being said,
some of us are also purely evil to our hair. We have good intentions, of course, simply to look
beautiful, but tell that to your cuticles that look like scales on a fish.
Maintenance
Blow drying, straightening, coloring, and perming, are all means by which we damage our hair
and its cuticles. When intact, the cuticle reflects the most light and gives off an appearance
of “healthy.” That is why healthy hair seems to shine more. Indian women rarely do
anything to their hair, as it is attached to specific cultural ideals in their society. Their hair
grows naturally long and generally straight or wavy. Indian hair is so popular for extensions
and weaves because it is the most natural looking, and it blends perfectly with a variety of
hair types.
