The fact that in our time the quality of hair care products has grown significantly and their range has increased, cannot but rejoice. But no care will help to create a luxurious hairstyle if the hair is simply small, or if they are very thin by nature. Therefore, many women, who, as they say, are not rich in their braids, use building technologies. There are several methods, as well as the types of hair that are used in this process. European curls are used more often than others, since they are of fairly good quality and affordable.
Origin
High-quality European hair comes mainly from Germany and Austria, and may be from other European countries. They undergo final processing in the same region or in the USA.
There is a version that the name did not come from the place of origin or production, but is related to the purpose of the material specifically for European women. Such hair can be a by-product collected after combing Slavic or even Asian. They are made most often in China, and their quality leaves much to be desired.
Production technology
The process of preparing donor European hair for sale takes about 2 weeks. During this time, they undergo thorough processing:
- bleaching;
- staining with a new natural pigment;
- styling and combing;
- silicone coating.
Self-respecting manufacturers use gentle solutions that preserve the structure of the hair as much as possible. Laying is done carefully so that the cuticles are on one side and the scales are in the same direction.This prevents tangling of hair during further use. Silicone treatment is also designed to facilitate the creation of hairstyles. But for low-quality materials, this layer simply hides the flaws.
In the manufacture of low-cost analogues, aggressive chemicals are used. The hairs combed from the total mass are difficult to lay in one direction, so such curls will not last long.
Specific traits
European hair is distinguished by a variety of shades from light blond to rather dark. Surprisingly, it is difficult for Russian girls to choose the right color for their hair, and the extended locks should not differ much from their own. Although it is worth noting that European hair is easily stained. Strands, both straight and wavy, and even curly, are offered for almost any taste, allowing you to create original images.
A wide range of types of manufacture. You can find on sale European hair in capsules, cut, on tresses, ribbons and hairpins. Of course, thanks to such an assortment, it will not be difficult to determine the method of extension, since the desired type of strands can be selected for any method - both hot, and cold, and ultrasound.
European hair looks and feels, if their shade and structure are well selected, practically do not differ from natural ones. When the strands are new, just bought, they are silky, smooth and shiny. Curls are easy to fit, look great in the hairstyle. This appearance is largely due to the protective composition, which, unfortunately, is gradually being washed away. And on the styling this is not reflected in the best way. Here European hair is losing to Slavic and South Russian.
It turns out that the quality of this building material is not the best. But at the price they are much cheaper. In order to grow hair of medium length on one head, approximately 110 strands will be required. Such a number of European curls on average costs about 4000 rubles.
In any case, the price of quality material should not be less than 3000 rubles.
