Hair extensions have started rising in popularity in the world of hair and beauty, offering individuals the opportunity to enhance their natural hair and experiment with different styles. When it comes to hair sourcing for extensions, the origin of the hair plays a significant role in determining the quality, longevity, and overall look of the extensions. While many brands choose to source their hair from regions like Asia and India, luxury brands such as ENVIE Extension Co set themselves apart by sourcing their hair from Europe. But why is European-sourced hair considered superior for extensions?
EUROPEAN SOURCED HAIR
European hair is highly regarded in the beauty industry for its exceptional quality, softness, versatility, and lighter color. These characteristics make European hair an ideal choice for premium hair extensions. In comparison to hair sourced from Asia and India, European hair stands out due to its natural smoothness and fine texture, requiring minimal processing to achieve the desired look. This natural quality of European hair not only enhances the overall appearance of the extensions but also contributes to their longevity and durability.
One of the key advantages of European-sourced hair is its genetic predisposition towards smoother, finer, and lighter colored hair. This inherent quality of European hair eliminates the need for extensive processing, which can often compromise the integrity of the hair. Hair sourced from Asia or India, on the other hand, tends to be coarser, darker, and may require more processing to achieve the desired texture and color. The excessive processing of hair can lead to damage and reduced lifespan, making European hair the superior choice for those seeking high-quality extensions.
COMPARING EUROPEAN SOURCED HAIR TO ASIAN AND INDIAN SOURCED HAIR
In this visual comparison of raw donor samples from India, Europe, and Asia you can see the natural texture and color differences among the various sources. Indian and Asian hair typically exhibit coarser textures, darker shades, which require more processing to achieve the desired smoothness and color variations. European-sourced hair, like that fine quality hair we use at ENVIE, starts off with a smoother, fine texture and lighter color, reducing the need for extensive processing. This natural fine texture and quality of European hair allows for a seamless blend with a larger variety of hair textures, making it an ideal choice for individuals looking for natural-looking extensions that integrate effortlessly with their own hair.
The finer texture of European hair offers a more natural look and feel to the extensions, allowing for greater movement and versatility. Whether you have fine or coarse natural hair, European-sourced extensions provide a harmonious blend that enhances your overall appearance without appearing artificial or bulky. The softness and lightness of European hair create a natural flow and bounce in the extensions, mimicking the movement of natural hair and ensuring a stylish and sophisticated look.
WHAT IS ETHICAL SOURCING?
At ENVIE Extension Co, ethical sourcing is a core part of our business practices and it plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality, sustainability, and responsibility of our products. But what does ethical sourcing actually mean? Simply put, it means that we make sure all of our actions and transactions in getting our product – in this case, hair for extensions – are fair, transparent, and respectful.
Majority of our donation centers support trusted places such as monasteries in Europe. This controls our donor hair quality by being able to verify the quality of the hair we’re getting directly from the source. It allows us to establish a direct relationship with our donors – the individuals providing the hair. This direct relationship is vital for ensuring that people are not being taken advantage of. We ensure that our donors are paid a fair wage for their hair. This is significant as it can help boost local economies and communities, ensuring that they benefit directly from their contributions.
Ethical sourcing goes beyond just notions of fairness. It also encompasses sustainability and respect for producer communities. It’s about creating and maintaining a supply chain that respects the environment, social rights, and gives back to the communities we work with.
By choosing ENVIE’s European-sourced hair extensions, you can trust that you are investing in superior quality hair that is ethically sourced, minimally processed, and seamlessly blends with your natural hair. Our commitment to excellence and sustainability sets us apart as a luxury brand that values quality, integrity, and beauty. Experience the difference of European-sourced hair extensions and elevate your style with ENVIE.
