Choosing the ideal hair extensions can significantly elevate your beauty routine, and among the top choices are Asian and Russian/European hair. But what exactly distinguishes these two popular types, and how do you know which is right for you? Let’s explore the key differences together.

Asian hair extensions are primarily sourced from Vietnam, China, India, Cambodia, and Malaysia. Each region offers distinctive features:
- Vietnamese Hair: Silky, straight, lightweight, and durable. Easy to style and holds curls exceptionally well.
- Chinese Hair: Thicker strands ideal for creating volume. Often processed to achieve varied textures.
- Indian Hair: Versatile, available in straight, wavy, or curly textures, blending seamlessly with many hair types.

Russian/European Hair Extensions: Fine and Luxurious
Russian/European hair extensions are predominantly sourced from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and other European countries, known for their fine, silky strands. This type of hair is naturally lighter in color, making it ideal for clients seeking lighter shades or more delicate textures.
Key Characteristics:
