How to Spot Quality Extensions: The Professional Buyer’s Checklist

Shopping for hair extensions shouldn’t feel like gambling.
But with so many options online (and plenty of too-good-to-be-true prices), it’s hard to tell what’s real, what’s coated, and what’s going to fall apart after one install.

Whether you’re a stylist or a hair-obsessed client, this checklist will help you spot high-quality extensions instantly — no guessing, no drama.

At Christian Michael Hair Extensions, we check every box on this list — and we’ll show you exactly how to compare.

🔍 1. Feel the Texture: Is It Consistently Soft from Root to End?

✔ What to check:
Run your fingers through the hair. It should feel buttery smooth, not dry, brittle, or overly silky (which can mean silicone-coated).

💡 Pro tip: True quality hair maintains a natural softness without feeling slippery or waxy. If it feels too good to be true — it might be coated with something fake.

✨ Christian Michael extensions are never over-coated. Our softness comes from real, cuticle-aligned hair that stays smooth after washes.

🧬 2. Check the Source: Is It 100% Human Hair — or a Blend?

✔ What to check:
If the label says “Remy” or “Human Hair Blend,” ask for more details. Blends often include synthetic or animal hair that won’t hold up under heat.

🔥 Heat testing can expose the truth — synthetic fibers burn, bubble, or melt.

✨ Christian Michael uses 100% premium human hair — always ethically sourced, always cuticle-intact.

🧵 3. Examine the Weft: Is It Tight, Flat, and Durable?

✔ What to check:
Turn the weft over. Look for tight stitching, no shedding, no fraying. Loose wefts = short lifespan and more work for your stylist.

✨ Our hand-crafted wefts are double-stitched and designed to lay flat on the scalp for seamless installs.

💧 4. Test the Hair When Wet: Does It Revert Naturally?

✔ What to check:
Wet a small section. Quality extensions retain texture and bounce when wet — they don’t go limp or tangled.

✨ Christian Michael’s curl and wave patterns are steam-processed, never fried — so they reset naturally after every wash.

---

🌈 5. Check the Color: Is It Even, Natural, and Fade-Resistant?

✔ What to check:
Watch out for brassy tones, patchy color, or overly ash hues that look gray. These are red flags for cheap or over-processed hair.

✨ Christian Michael uses low-lift, pigment-balanced coloring that keeps tones rich and true-to-tone over time.
