Signs of Low Quality Hair Extensions

There are a few basic, yet key indicators that you can use to determine the quality of hair extensions.

  • Colour/Shade - It’s essential that you find hair extensions that match your natural hair. Low quality hair extensions are often available in completely single-toned shades, which can look unnatural one some hair types. Highlighted sets help blend any tone variations which is why all ZALA hair extensions are designed with a multi-tonal technology. This ensure seamless natural blending once applied!
  • Thickness. One of the main, tell-tale signs of low quality hair extensions is thin ends. Most sets with a poor composition have many short hairs throughout the set, which will cause the ends to appear ratty & unhealthy. Although many people prefer a layered look, if you are purchasing hair extensions that tapered to a point, this often indicates low quality. All our sets at ZALA are double drawn to ensure super thick and healthy ends.

  • Texture & feel - Synthetic extensions are more coarse than human hair, and also tangles more easily which can create problems when you are wearing your extensions. They cannot be curled or styled which does make it difficult to achieve seamless natural blending. We always recommend investigating in premium quality 100% Human Remy hair for the best results!
  • Price range - This does lead us to expected price ranges, for synthetic hair, you shouldn’t be paying more than $60- $80 and for human it can range from $120-$500. There are however different grades of human hair. At ZALA we use the highest professional AAA & AAAAA grade hair for our products. This ensures thick, healthy natural extensions which blend discreetly.
