Processed human hair - Can be very confusing due to the many names it goes under. Sometimes known as “Silky Straight,” “European Silky” or “European Textured” Many sellers of this hair type choose these names to imply that it is hair of European origin, however this type of hair is almost always collected from Asian countries like China .
The Tag “European” needs to be considered carefully after all it is not necessarily a lie, the hair has been re-texturezed to appear like a “European Type” of hair!
The processing this hair has received is to have the cuticle layer removed, this process makes the hair a finer texture, super smooth and glossy. However this hair type may not particularly last very long as the absence of the cuticle layer makes the fiber dry out very easily if the hair is not treated in the correct manner.
This hair type is also very heavily coloured and can come in most shades (even very blond).
As this hair is collected from Asian countries like China it is safe to say the chances of it being very straight is quite high. Another interesting fact about this hair type is that Yaki textured hair is almost exactly the same. However instead of smoothing the hair out a fine crimped texture is added to simulate the look of processed Afro hair.
This hair type should be the cheapest type of hair for wigs and extensions.
As there is no cuticle the odd hair could be traveling in either direction without creating problems as there is no cuticle interlock.
In picture 4 - Notice the total absence of the cuticle layer! Which depending on how you look at it can be a good or bad thing. It does not really matter if you have paid the correct price for it!
Great for= people needing straight textured hair and anyone wanting a very fine texture. Also good for people with a limited budget.
Care requirements - Not such a good idea to over heat this hair type. And if used for hair extensions they will need to be replaced after approximately 3 months.
