Even under the best of conditions, synthetic hair extensions can be a hassle. They are more prone to breakage, frizzing, shedding and tangling. Human hair extensions, which are made of real human hair, do not have the same types of problems. They always look real, because they are, and they do not tangle or split anywhere nearly as badly as hair extensions made of a synthetic material. Add in the problems compounded by winter weather, and synthetic hair extensions are no bargain. Winter weather can be rough on any type of hair, but is doubly more problematic for synthetic hair. Winter weather tends to dry out hair and make it more susceptible to split ends and frizzing. For human hair, there are conditioners and treatments available that can combat these factors. Unfortunately, most of these products, which work well on human hair, do not do a thing for synthetic hair. By using human hair extensions during rough winter months, you can rest assured that you will be able to maintain healthy, vitality enriched hair, even during the coldest of winter months. Human hair contains proteins and melamine that cannot be replicated by synthetic hair. By using human hair extensions, those who wear hair extensions are able to take action to protect their hair. This includes: - Using coconut-based shampoos and conditioners. Coconut-based hair care products contain proteins that have wonderful moisturizing properties. - Using a leave-in conditioner to protect hair from harsh elements. - Pinning or pulling hair up to prevent it from being blown around by winter winds. Having hair violently moved about by wind exacerbates breakage. These things simply can't be done with synthetic hair extensions. The proteins that are found in coconut have no affect on nylon. That's because nylon and other synthetic substances have no protein in them. The coconut protein has no other proteins to bind itself to. Leave-in conditioners are just as useless. In fact, using a leave-in conditioner on synthetic hair often causes it to look greasy. In addition, using a leave-in conditioner on synthetic hair can cause the synthetic hair to tangle even more than usual. Pulling synthetic hair back also causes the strands to break. Basically, synthetic hair is made of nylon and plastic. Stop and think about Barbie Dolls. That type of hair is what synthetic hair extensions are like. No matter how much girls practiced and styled their Barbie's hair, or what accessories they used in the hair, after a few days, the hair more closely resembled a nest made by rats than a high fashion head of hair. In fact, many people who regularly wear synthetic hair extensions often state that they use the winter months to work on growing their own hair. You shouldn't give up a great head of hair during the rough winter months. By using human hair extensions, not only can you keep your extensions luxuriant and natural looking, you can also protect your own hair from the ravages of the winter winds and weather.
