When shopping for hair extensions, you'll often come across two terms: natural hair (or Remy/virgin) and synthetic hair.
At first glance, they look similar... but the difference is huge in terms of quality, lifespan, and aesthetic result.
At Extension Extrême, Brossard, we exclusively use 100% natural Euro Prestige virgin hair to guarantee our clients an impeccable and long-lasting look. Here's why.
1. What is synthetic hair?
Made from plastic fibers or artificial blends.
Shiny appearance, often less natural.
Low heat resistance: blow-drying, flat irons, or curling irons are impossible.
Short lifespan: a few weeks to 1 month maximum.
Uncomfortable to wear long-term.
👉 Good for temporary use (e.g., event, costume), but not for a serious hair transformation.
2. What is 100% natural virgin hair?
Sourced directly from donors, chemically unprocessed.
Texture and shine identical to human hair.
Compatible with all heating tools (blow-drying, flat irons, curls).
Lifespan: 3 to 6 months depending on method and maintenance.
Can be colored or dyed.
👉 Undetectable and comfortable result, perfect for everyday wear.

5. Customer Testimonial
"Before, I had tried synthetic extensions bought online. They lasted barely two weeks and looked fake. Since I started going to Extension Extrême, my extensions last several months and no one notices that they aren't my own hair." – Caroline, Brossard
Conclusion
Synthetic hair may seem like an economical option, but its limited lifespan and appearance severely restrict its value.
100% natural virgin hair, on the other hand, guarantees a beautiful, long-lasting, and undetectable result.
✨ That's why, at Extension Extrême (Euro Prestige, Brossard), we only work with high-end natural hair.
