Top 10 Benefits of Using Human Hair for Braiding

Top 10 Benefits of Using Human Hair for Braiding Top 10 Benefits of Using Human Hair for Braiding

Braided hair is fast becoming an evergreen style. It is seen year after year as fashionable and has been for decades. Hollywood’s red carpet elite love shows off thick, long, short, or bedazzled braids.

The drawback is that it can take months or even years to grow a thick enough head of hair for the braids we want. With advances in using bulk human hair for braiding, there is no longer a need to wait!

Even if our natural hair is not thick or grows slowly, we can use human hair extensions to create any style imaginable braid. The question that usually confuses people is, does it matter if the hair extension is real human hair or is artificial hair just as good?

Here are the top ten reasons hair professionals insist that human hair extensions are better for braids.

  • Human hair is lighter and more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. 

Human hair is lighter and more natural. It is intended to be worn on our heads, and our bodies are programmed for the weight of a full head of hair. When we look at synthetic hair on the market, we find that despite many advances in the industry, it still weighs more than human hair.

This means that our heads have to support more weight per hair than intended. This can lead to headaches, neck pain, distraction, scalp irritation, and more.

  • Human hair looks more real because it is actually human hair. 

One of the worst things possible is having someone notice you are wearing a hair extension or wig. This can be humiliating for many people. While some simply do not care if other people know they are wearing hair extensions, most of us prefer not to announce it to everyone.

Some people still think human hair or virgin hair is not harvested from donors worldwide. Virgin human hair is real hair that someone has sold or donated to be made into hair extensions or wigs.

There is nothing that looks more real than actual human hair for braids.

  • Human hair for braids means you have more styling freedom.

Human hair for braids can be styled with heated styling tools! Most artificial hair extensions and wigs cannot be heat-styled without damaging the wig.

Grab your favorite crimper, curler, straightener, or hot roller, and make your human hair brads look the way you want without fear of damaging the human hair extension.

  • Human hair for braids allows you to use your regular shampoo, conditioner, and styling products.

Most of us have a favorite shampoo, conditioner, or holding spray that we love. With human hair for braids, we can use the regular hair products we already know and love. There is no need to pay extra for shampoo and conditioner that is made for synthetic hair.

Many people have struggled to find hair care products that do not irritate their scalp or leave a residue. When you add a synthetic hair extension for braids, you must find an appropriate line of synthetic hair care products. This process is not necessary for braiding human hair.

  • Highlights, or coloring human hair for braids, is the same as coloring your own hair!

Nothing is more invigorating than getting highlights or color done on our hair. Today, coloring or bleaching just some areas of hair is popular and has been trending for years!

With artificial hair, you can usually not color or bleach the hair for braiding. This means you spend more to have the styling options possible with just one human hair extension for braids.

  • Human hair for braids lasts longer and can be used in more styles. 

The initial sticker price of human hair braids is higher than the one for synthetic hair braids—that is, until we consider how long each will last!

Human hair for braids will last over a year with proper use and care.

Synthetic hair for braids will usually last three to six months.

When we look at how often we must buy more hair for braids, the cost of human hair for braids is no longer higher than that of artificial hair for braiding.

  • Human hair for braiding is grown naturally with no chemicals or harsh additives!

Synthetic hair for braids is manufactured in plants. The plants use oil and other chemicals to create the most realistic-looking hair possible. The problem is that people today are more sensitive to artificial chemicals and oil-based petrochemicals than ever before.

With human hair for braids, we have no chemicals, no factories full of additives, and no labs trying to create hair. Human hair is grown naturally on a human scalp and then harvested without chemicals.

  • The texture of human hair for braiding has yet to be effectively recreated with synthetic hair. 

When we run our hands through our hair or someone else’s hair, it has a unique texture and feel. There is no way to mimic that sensation of light, wispiness, and possibility on your fingers when we run our fingers through human hair.

Synthetic wigs have made great strides in recent years, but this is one area of human hair that they simply have not been able to recreate.

  • Human hair for braids offers more braiding styles. 

Not all hair is suitable for every type of braid. With human hair for braids, you can choose the thickness, color, and length for the braids of your dreams. Amazingly, the most popular braids styles were all created using real human hair for the braids.

This means that the tutorials you find online will work better on human hair for braids than on synthetic hair.

  • Breathability and odor are two areas where human hair has always and still does come out on top. 

When you create something in a factory, you cannot expect to have the same results as you do with a natural product. With human hair, you know what you are getting. There are no surprises, no odors, and no funny texture when you touch it.

Human hair is lighter and designed to be on our heads, whereas artificial hair is not. Ultimately, natural human hair simply outshines artificial hair day and night.

Are you ready to feel, smell, and see the difference real human hair can make?

I always try to see, feel, and smell before I make a purchase. Private Label has a local hair store where I can relax and feel secure that I will be treated with respect and the associates there will have the answers I need.
