Silky Straight

Straightening:

If the hair is from India, Indonesia and China then surely the hair is
straight already?

Remember that all hair is unique to its wearer as well as race. We May
look at the racial origins and only see long, straight, shiny, dark hair. In

many cases it is the sheer weight of the hair when tied back in one that

makes it appear straight. Some people blow dry their hair straight, others

use straightening irons and some have solutions only known to

themselves. When hair is selected to make hair wefts and other hair

products, it is mixed from many different heads. So, the mixture of hairs

to produce an 18inch weft would only use hairs between 20 and 18

inches, because of the smaller percentage of these hair lengths in each

head, it could take hairs from up to ten heads to make one weft, so some

hairs will be wavy and some straight. To create the silky straight range;

all hairs have to be straight and remain so after shampooing. To achieve

this all hairs, have to be chemically straightened using permanent waving

solution similar to that used in hairdressing salons.
