How much do hair extensions cost?

The cost of hair extensions vary. First, you need to understand that it depends on the quality of hair extensions that are going to determine the cost. Single donor hair is always going to cost more than multi donor hair.

Single donor hair is hair that is cut straight off the head with the live cuticle in tact in the natural direction. Single donor hair has a one directional cuticle fully intact. Single donor hair is hair that each bundle of hair comes from one person. Multiple single donor bundles can be combined together to create the weight, however each bundle before being combined comes from one person.

Multi donor bundles comes from hair that comes from multiple people and multiple sources. This hair is collected from villages, homes, barber shops, beauty shops and other sources. The hair is collected from brokers and is sold to the factory by the ton. Once the hair is bought by the factory, the cuticle is shaved down and then a faux cuticle is placed on the hair.

Single donor hair can always be made 100% healthy because it has a live cuticle. Because of the live cuticle, the hair last a lifetime. Human hair is immortal and does night die. Typically the hair when worn can last 2-10 years depending on the care. Just like your natural hair you can damage the hair and that will take away for the length of time it last.

Multi donor hair has a life span of 6 months to 2 years. Once the faux cuticle washes off, the hair is no longer usable because the cuticles that are in multiple directions and shaved down stick together. Multi donor human hair can be curled, colored, flat ironed, and bleached.

Now that you understand the difference between single donor hair and multi donor here is how to understand the pricing. For single donor hair the cost is going to be starting at $165 for 12″ and $345 for 32″. These prices are very competitive with this level of hair extensions. This level of hair can also be much more expensive or slightly less.

For Multi donor hair prices are going to start at around $80 up to about $260 per bundle. This is also very competitive for this level hair. This hair could also be priced slightly lower. Hair that is significantly less and hair that is priced at $260 for three 28″ bundles is going to be more of a type of fiber and hair mix. Hair priced very low in most cases is a mix of human hair and fiber/material.

When it comes to race, cheap in expensive hair mixed with fiber or just fiber is marketed towards black woman, and hair mixed with fiber or just material that is very expensive is marketed to white woman and other ethnicities of white woman.

Not one is better than the other, its about what you prefer. The only way you are going to know what you prefer is to wear different hair. There are pros and cons with all choices. However, the wear is also a life style choice. I prefer single donor hair because I like the way real hair wears. I can shampoo and condition as often as I like and I can always guarantee my end result.

I can always guarantee my end result by using joico products. Their products replace the amino acids in human hair to achieve and maintain 100% healthy hair every time I shampoo and condition. The hair gets better and better every time I shampoo and condition so I am able to rotate out my hair extension textures, styles, and lengths. By doing that, there is hair I have had for 10 years and I can still use it when I want to wear it again.

Hair is one of the best beauty investments you can ever make and single donor hair is a really good choice. However, I will use multi donor hair. The reason I will depends on if what I need is not available in single donor options. Multi donor wears really really nicely, just doesn’t last as long. My favorite multi donor kinky straight wig finally became unwearable after about 2 years. I was sad. I have some new ones that I will transition too. I am so accustomed to single donor hair and how long it last, I was actually shocked and confused when I realized why my wig was not acting right.
