What is the quality of the Hair Factory's Hair?

We use the best quality available in the market today; 100% human hair, superior quality, in a variety of textures for professional results.Our hair is used by many hairdressers throughout the beauty industry.

How much hair do I need?

Weave Style: For shorter lengths, the average weave needs 1/4 lb. (1 pack). For fuller & longer styles, one may need 1/2 lb. (2 packs). Do not double the wefts. Loose Extensions or Braiding Styles: The average head may require two or more bundles as these styles are generally designed for longer and fuller styles.

What lengths are available?

Hair for weaving & extensions is available from The Hair Factory in 10" to 20" in length depending on the texture. The most popular length is 12" long.

What hair care products do I use?

There are many good hair care products in the market, but some do noT react well with commercial hair. All our hair arrives with hair care instructions & product recommendations. The products we recommend have all been tried and tested to insure maximum results.

For flowing extensions - do I need bulk (loose) hair?

For fusion & other strand-by-strand hair additions, most hairstylists prefer to buy wefted hair. They simply cut it off the weft as they attach. The hair is easier to control & there is a much larger selection of hair textures. You do not lose any length. If you need 18" length, order 18".

What is Remi Hair?

This hair has the roots & cuticle going in the same direction. Since we know which way the cuticle is going, excess processing does not have to be done. All commercial hair has to be processed to remove the cuticle so as to prevent tangling; but Remi hair requires less. Just like your hair, the less processing you do, the healthier, prettier & better behaved your hair will be.

I'm unsure of my hair color - what do I do?

Most natural hair is not one solid color. Some parts are darker & some slightly lighter. When selecting commercial hair, choose a shade close to yours. Blend for a natural look. Check out our color guide and find the number that is closest to your hair. For unusual colors, send a sample of hair for matching or purchase a color ring for guidance.

What texture should I order?

When blending in your own hairline, choose a texture similar to your own, such as silky straight, wavy, relaxed, etc. If you are completely eliminating your own hair, you can select any texture or length you want for a totally new look. Note: when selecting a texture based on the picture of the model, please consider that the hair has been styled and/or cut. About Wave Patterns - the longer the length of hair, the looser the curl or wave pattern will be. The lighter the shade, the looser the curl or wave pattern will be.
