What is the Difference Between Indian and Brazilian Hair?

Indian Hair

Indian hair is the most commonly available hair in the markets. This is because of the fact that Indians donate their hairs for religious purposes. 

Indian hairs are mostly natural dark brown and very fine in texture. It is not very shiny which is why it blends easily with most of the European and American hair types. Another reason why Indian hair blends with European hair is because the cuticles of these hairs are less tangled. Two terms that are used quite often for Indian hair are virgin and remy. Virgin hair is one that means that these hairs are not processed or treated with chemicals. 

All cuticles are running in one direction in remy hair. Hair extensions made with Indian hair become wavy after drying, giving a very beautiful look to the individual. Also, Indian hair curls and straightens easily making it very workable.

Brazilian Hair

Brazilian hair is shiny and silky. It is available in straight, wavy, and curly forms. Hair extensions made of Brazilian hair hold on to their curls for a long time period. These hairs are the most sought after in the market today. Brazilian hair is very hot and dense. They gel with most European and American textures. There is a lot of body and bounce in Brazilian hair, and it has a natural shine.
