Brazilian (South American) Hair

If you are looking for Brazilian hair make sure it is both from South American and South American women not just processed in south America. Chinese hair, for instance, "processed" in south America is not  Brazilian  hair at all but Chinese's hair processed so it looks like and, at first feels,  like Brazilian hair.

Looks however, are sometime deceiving. If you are looking for true Brazilian hair you need to make sure first of all that it has not been process and that it is Virgin Remy hair. 

Brazilian hair is healthy virgin hair, which has not been processed at all.  It is cuticle hair, provided by the donor in its original state, therefore, the direction of the hair is respected, and the hair does not tangle at all.

It comes in natural colours of dark brown or black and sometimes a bit lighter. The dark colours can be dyed to lighter shades, just as you would colour any hair.

It is strong hair that is naturally straight, wavy or curly. The waviness can be easily turned into curly with proper styling. It is excellent for people with Caucasian and African ancestry, as it looks very natural, yet manageable.

Caution: When hair is sold as 100% Human, be very cautious as this could mean a number of things. Often Chinese or Indian hair get processed to look like Brazilian hair. Yes, it is still human hair but "processed" hair of Chinese or Indian origin is completely different from Virgin Remy Brazilian hair.

To begin with the hair looks nice; but it has been coated with silicon to add shine and body to the hair after processing.. However, after a few washes the silicon layer starts to wash out. Then quickly the hair becomes duller and loses its sheen. It becomes brittle and dry. It starts to break down.

The cuticle originally covered by the silicon will become exposed which causes tangling and matting with your own hair. Every wash will worsen this condition. What you are then left with is acid treated Chinese/Indian hair.

This is not saying Indian and Chinese human is is not good hair in and of itself - It is good hair but, processing it to make it look like something else creates definite problems. If you are looking for Chinese hair or Indian hair then buy it the same way you would Brazilian or European hair. It should be virgin Remy hair.
