What is a Brazilian Hair Weave?
These are weaves that come straight from Brazil. There is a lot of controversy surrounding these types of weaves that we will cover later. But for now, understand that unless you are getting 100% non processed virgin Brazilian hair you are not getting what you are paying for. Read on to learn more about a few precautions we suggest you take before you get started on your new hair journey!
Who Are They For?
Anyone can wear these weaves. They look good on the regular woman, to the superstar artist, all the way to the fashionista walking a show in Paris. Don’t think that you cannot have the best of what life has to offer, certainly not when it comes to weaves. We have been blessed with talented stylists and companies that provide top notch weaves. If you have a desire to change your look or simply improve on your current look, then why not just do it? You only live once!
The current texture or natural texture of your hair may be an issue when getting your new hair sewn in. This is something you have to go over with your stylist. If you do not have a regular stylist the best advice we can give you is to drive by a few different salons and ask the stylists on call if you can chat with them for a few minutes.
Tell them you are going to have a brand new human hair weave put in and ask them for advice on what you should do. Ask them if they have any suggestions on how you should prepare your hair before you have anything done to it. Whoever answers your questions the best; make that person your new stylist! Of course ask to see examples of past weaves they have done. Most stylists carry a portfolio of them with photos of their best work.
Where Can You Get Them?
Isn’t that a good question! This grade of hair is extremely rare for some odd reason. It is the highest quality, the “Rolls Royce” of weaves if you will. Virgin Brazilian hair is some of the best quality hair you can get and because of that the cost can get extremely high. Only special places typically carry a lot of it. Why? For one, it is extremely hard to find. The difference between this and the Indian hair weaves is that it is a culture in Indian life for women to sacrifice their hair and shave it all off at a certain point in their lives. That culture does not exist in Brazil.
Due to the fact that this weave is so high quality and hard to find, it is usually snapped up by big money studios that provide to A-list stylists. The type of stylists that work on Hollywood sets or on music videos. A lot of the time, the hair extensions you see on your favorite celebrities is indeed from Brazil! Who would have thought?
A big problem now is Brazilian companies misrepresenting what they are selling. They will market a product as “Brazilian Weave” when in fact the hair is imported from an Indian or Asian country then processed with chemicals in Brazil to look more wavy and slick. That is very unethical but it does exist. The best thing we can tell you is to do your due diligence on these companies before you order. Make sure you Google them, call them if a number exists, and cross reference exactly where they are getting the hair from. If you have any suspicion that it is imported, then simply do not buy from there. There are companies out there that are honest, we are not trying to scare you off or make you extra paranoid. You just have to protect yourself, that is all.
The funny thing is—Virgin Brazilian Hair Weave is hard to find even in Brazil! Most of the hair comes from the rural villages and country areas where people have lower incomes than those who live in a city such as Rio or Sao Palo. Therefore it has to be imported into the city where it is sold to the local women. All of the demand from the city, plus international demand from Europe and America makes this a hot commodity and extremely hard to find.
What Makes Brazilian Weaves Better?
The best thing about these weaves is the quality. Simply put, it is some of the best money can buy. The hair is long, black, wavy, and has that bounce you expect natural hair to have. There just are not many alternatives on the market that look as good as Brazilian weaves do, certainly not synthetic hair. The hair you get from Brazil is 100% real human hair and has to be sewn in carefully by a stylist.
Brazilian women are known for having some of the best looking natural hair textures in the world. We don’t anticipate the hunt for great Brazilian hair extensions to ever end. As long as women want to look good and impress others, there demand will never end.
Until then, we hope you take this information and continue your hair journey. The most important thing is to find the best look for you. Just because someone says something is good or looks good, doesn’t mean it is right for you. You have to be comfortable. You have to feel good. You have to feel like you look good. Make the best decisions for you and you only, and you are more than prepared to have beautiful hair and look beautiful as well!
