Weaves can alter one's appearance for long or short periods of time by adding further to one's natural or by covering it all together with human or synthetic pieces. Weaving additional human or synthetic pieces can enhance by giving it volume, length, adding color without the damage of chemicals, or adopting a different texture than that of their own.The most popular and commonly available form is known as premium. It is sold in the majority of beauty supply stores worldwide. The roots and tips are interwoven in premium which causes tangling. This is due to the opposing cuticle layers catching onto one another. However; as it is the most inexpensive type, it is a best seller.Premium comes in two types: -Regular premium: generally the least expensive type. The cuticles are present in different directions and it is prone to tangling. –‘Tangle-free’ premium: this is obtained by chemically removing the cuticles using an acid bath. Synthetic is made of a wide array of different synthetic fibers. Synthetic, just like human one, comes in weave (weft) and single strands (bulk) for braids. Synthetic does not last as long as human one because it gets quickly damaged by friction, and heat. The quality varies greatly. Depending on quality, it may never look like human, as it can be stiff and move differently than human. Synthetic is much less expensive than human. Heating appliances such as curling irons and straightening combs generally should never be used on most types of synthetic. There are some newer versions of synthetic which are more resistant, human-like that can be heat processed allowing for heat styling.With human the shaft is made up of dead, hard protein, called keratin, in three layers. The inner layer is called the medulla and may not be present. The next layer is the cortex and the outer layer is the cuticle. The cortex makes up the majority of the shaft. The cuticle is formed by tightly packed scales in an overlapping structure similar to roof shingles. Most conditioning products attempt to affect the cuticle. There are pigment cells that are distributed throughout the cortex, giving it its characteristic color. The cuticle is a hard shingle-like layer of overlapping cells, some five to twelve deep, formed from dead cells that form scales which give the shaft strength and protect the inner structure. The cuticle is the first line of defense against all forms of damage; it acts as a protective barrier for the softer inner structures, including the medulla and cortex.The cuticle is responsible for much of the mechanical strength of the fiber. A healthy cuticle is more than just a protective layer, as the cuticle also controls the water content of the fiber. Much of the shine that makes it so attractive is due to the cuticle. In the industry, the only way to obtain the very best is to use the services of ‘collectors,’ who cut it directly from people's heads, and bundle it as ponytails.
