Purchasing the Human Hair

After looking into the welfare of hair sourcing, as well as the pricing and qualities of the hair, I was able to purchase this. I contacted the buy hair.com team, in relation to a colour match service they offered. From observing a photo of my model they were able to confirm her hair was a shade 8 - Light mousey brown, and could be combined with the Light brown shade 6, to create a natural looking hair colour matching my models. The hair comes in wefts available from 12 inches through to 24 inches. The description of the hair from the manufacturer (stranded online) states;

'These Luxury Human Hair Extensions, can be treated as normal hair when applied as hair extensions, the weft can be cut, curled, straightened and blow dried as normal. The hair is of Luxury 100% Human Hair Best Quality.

The Wefts can be applied using either the weave hair extension method (sewed onto scalp plaits), cold bond hair extension method (glued in using weft bond glue or liquid gold adhesive) or micro ring hair extension method (micro rings attached along the weft, attached to the hair using a loop and pliers)'

After further research into the pricing of this particular brand of extensions - which is very popular throughout the internet but also has been used by one of my peers, I was able to confirm hair at 18" length would be approx. £40 per packet. Therefore I was able to set aside £160 for the hair. However after further research into the hair supplier stranded, I was then able to register for a trade account with the company, allowing me V.A.T free prices on all orders over £100. After completing my order of 4 packets of human hair, and one packet of Kanekalon hair which would be used to cover my cage, the total became £106 + £9 delivery. Saving almost £50 from the high street prices was something I was pleased with and allowed me to keep on budget.
