The Early Days of Hair Extensions

Hair extensions aren't a new fad. They've been around for thousands of years! Back in ancient Egypt, both men and women used extensions to jazz up their hairstyles. They'd use all sorts of materials, from human hair to dyed sheep's wool.
Fast forward to the Elizabethan era, and we see women piling on the volume with wigs and hairpieces. Queen Elizabeth I herself was a trendsetter with her bright red wig. Talk about making a statement!
The Birth of Modern Weft Extensions
The real game-changer came in 1951 when Christina Jenkins, an African American woman, invented the hair weaving technique. This method involved sewing wefts of hair onto braided natural hair, creating a more natural and long-lasting look. It was a huge step forward from the clip-ins and wiglets of the past.
The Rise of Synthetic Hair
In the early 1900s, synthetic hair extensions hit the scene. These affordable alternatives to human hair allowed more people to experiment with different looks. By the 1990s, both synthetic and human hair extensions were widely available, giving everyone the chance to switch up their style.
The INH Professional Revolution
Today, we're proud to say that INH Professional is at the forefront of the hair extension industry. We've taken the best of traditional techniques and combined them with cutting-edge technology to create extensions that are truly next-level.

The Future of Weft Hair Extensions
The hair extension industry is constantly evolving, and we're excited about what's on the horizon. Here are some trends we're keeping an eye on:
UV-Hair Extensions
One of the newest methods in the world of hair extensions is UV-hair extensions. This technique uses a special hair-safe glue that hardens under UV light, similar to gel nails. It's perfect for those with thin hair or specific areas of hair loss, as the bonds are virtually invisible.
Heat-Resistant Synthetic Extensions
Advancements in synthetic hair technology now allow for heat-resistant fibers. This means you can style certain synthetic extensions with heat tools like curling irons and straighteners, just like natural hair.
Lightweight Materials
New lightweight materials are being used in clip-in extensions, making them more comfortable to wear for extended periods. This is great news for those who love the look of long, voluminous hair but hate the heaviness that often comes with it.
