There are so many different types of weaves and extensions on the market that it can be a bit time-consuming trying to find the perfect type to compliment your own head. You can choose from synthetic, horse or human hair. If you are looking for hair that is very durable and going to last you for many months, you may want to go with synthetic hair. This synthetic material is made from microfilament fibers. These fibers are made to withstand extremely high levels of heat. Since synthetic hair is manufactured from cheap materials, it is less expensive than human hair. The majority of wigs are made from synthetic hair.

Horsehair comes from the horse's mane. This hair was once widely desired for many hairstyles and wigs. Although it was once widely used, it was also more expensive to manufacture. High production costs made it too expensive for most to purchase, so the industry began rely more on human and synthetic.

Human hair comes from many different countries all over the world. People who don't want theirs cut it off, and others can then enjoy the use of it. In some cultures, hair is used for payment, and in others it is used in religious practices. No matter where the hair has come from, by the time it reaches the beauty supplier's shelves, it has been thoroughly washed and sanitized for use. Of course, some of that hair is colored by a special dyeing process, and some is used to make wigs, hairpieces and hair extensions.

Human hair is more expensive than synthetic hair and more readily available than horsehair. The main difference between human and synthetic material is that human hair burns more easily than the synthetic varieties. It cannot withstand a high level of heat. Synthetic hair also doesn't look as generic as human. To an unskilled eye, you may not notice the difference, but those who get their hair done on a frequent basis, can see and feel the difference.

Nowadays, many women prefer to use human hair. They can blend it to match their type and no one is able to tell it is not their own, unless they ask.
