Today we learn the concepts, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of silicon-based hair extension products. And why do manufacturers prefer silicone to hair extensions?
Silicon is a common substance found in hair care cosmetics, also known as polydimethylsiloxane or PDMS. Silicone has a high viscosity, viscosity and moisturizing effect. When used, the silicone layer covers the outside of the hair to help protect the hair, preventing tangled hair, split hair, making it easier for you to feel your hair softer, shinier than instantly

With product hair extensions, the use of silicone hair is also being applied a lot, with the aim of creating a soft, shiny hair that is prominent in the eyes of the consumer. Hair becomes more beautiful, many manufacturers for profit, took advantage of this advantage of silicon to transform hair products from "NON - REMY HAIR" to " REMY HAIR"
By soaking Silicone within a few hours, the thin silicone layer will cover the entire strand of hair, causing the tangled and irrepressible hair like Non-remy hair to become remy hair, which sounds perfect, because in this time Non-remy hair will be incredibly soft and smooth. However, after only a few washings, this silicone layer will gradually disappear, causing the hair to return to the initial tangle state. Is that what you and your customers are expecting with the extra hair products that you will be using?
