...it's true and it does make sense human hair is getting harder and harder to harvest. Imagine how long it takes you to grow your hair 18" to 30" long?... and then selling it for pennies?? Most of the hair comes from Asia (including India) and as those women become more & more "Westernized" they are coloring and perming their hair which renders it inferior for processing it for commercial use. Commercial human hair products are not only blended with Yak but it's also blended with synthetic fibers. Manufacturers don't have to disclose this information in order to label their products "100% Human Hair" as long as there is some human hair in the product. You can spend $1000 or more and get "Pure" human hair, but if you are spending $35 to even $200, you are likely purchasing a blend. The demand for human hair for extensions and hair pieces are higher than ever before...the supply has started falling behind. Yak is mostly used to texturize extensions to match Afro hair textures due to it's crinkled nature, but like I said, it acts like human hair and is "Organic" as opposed to synthetic.
I hope this info is enlightening to some!

Amanda- This woman has hair that is quite similar to mine(in curl
pattern and stuff). And I REALLY think those are extensions (I'm no
expert though) I think if they were styled a bit better and stuff it
would look pretty good and well blended. But I just wanted post the
link so that you could see if that was similar to what you were looking
for and then it might be easier for you to find.
Does anyone know what kind of hair that is? Please excuse the site, I
found it while getting daily celebrity blog fix :) Here's the link:
Hmm..although now that I look at it again, it seems to not match her
hair very well. It's less curly than the top. Does anyone know
something that would match the top? Would the glamour hair deep wave be
OK?
