The A-Z of Keratin Hair Extensions

Your hair is, without a doubt, a great way to express yourself. But sometimes, the lack of length and volume can prevent you from being able to pull off the hairstyle of your dreams.

The quick and easy answer to this problem is hair extensions. Whether you want 16 inches of natural everyday hair that you can wear to work or school, 20 inches of glamour and elegance to compliment your formal attire, or 24 inches of imposing boldness to boost your courage for a blind dat. Hair extensions can instantly transform and elevate your style.

Among all the kinds of hair extensions on the market right now, Keratin Hair Extensions are some of the most sought-after ones. In today’s blog, we’ll discuss this specific hair extension and compare it to 100% Human Remy hair extensions, another kind of extension that’s available here at Zala.

What Are Zala Keratin Hair Extensions?

While Zala Keratin Hair Extensions are fairly new to our collection, this kind of hair extension has actually been around for quite some time now.

For the past few years, celebrity hairstylists have been using them to provide an instant and seamless solution to hair problems.

Keratin Hair Extensions are specially designed to look and feel as natural as possible. You can use them continuously for up to 3-5 months, as long as you know how to care for them properly. This shouldn’t be a problem, as they usually only require minimal care.

Keratin Hair Extensions vs Remy Hair Extensions

The other hair extensions here at Zala are all made of 100% Human Remy hair. The change in material means that there are some differences between our keratin hair extensions and our human hair extensions.

Difference: Materia

It goes without saying that the main difference between keratin hair extensions and human hair extensions is the material from which they are made of.

Remy hair extensions are made of 100% human hair, which means they function virtually the same as our natural strands. Keratin extensions, on the other hand, are made of a man-made fiber called keratin protein. Although it still looks very natural, that does mean it has a few limitations not present in human hair extensions.

Difference: Chemical Treatments

Because keratin extensions are made with man-made fiber, chemical treatments aren’t recommended. In other words, you can’t dye or rebond keratin extensions, unless you want them to dry out.

If you like coloring or straightening your hair, you're better off with regular human hair extensions.

Similarity: Look and Feel

Keratin hair extensions and human hair extensions look and feel about the same. If you go based on looks alone, both of them look very natural with your own strands. They also feel almost exactly like natural hair.

If you want natural-looking strands but don't want the hassle of frequent maintenance, go for keratin extensions.

Similarity: Heat Styling

Styling your keratin hair using heat with curling rods or ironing rods is not a problem with both kinds of extensions.

Just like your natural hair and Remy hair extensions, keratin hair extensions can also be styled with heat. Just be careful when doing so as they tend to dry out more.
