To put an end to hair tragedies like these, we put together a list of the top hair weave brands. Whether you prefer custom blended hair or packaged hair, there is something for everyone.
Believe it or not, there are some packaged hair brands out there that can stand up to any custom brand, and Outre is definitely one of them. Outre hair comes in dozens of textures, colors and lengths, but we suggest the Premium New Yaki Hair ($19.99, BeautyOfNewYork.com). What's great about Outre hair is that it's inexpensive, and unlike the lower grade packaged hair, it resembles human hair. The only downside is that Outre hair sheds quite a bit.
Red Hot Celebrity Hair
Rihanna appears to be channeling little orphan Annie with her latest 'do. Although nothing this songstress does with her hair really seems to shock us these days, but it took us awhile to get used to her bold choice of color.
Nicki Minaj changes her hair color as often as some women change their underwear. The Young Money Princess has admitted she likes to switch up her 'do so often to keep from getting bored with it. Orange and green may not be for everyone, but Ms. Minaj you get a pass.
Fantasia isn't afraid of bold colors. The former American Idol contestant experimented with bright reds awhile back to add some flare to her usual short 'do.
Jordin Sparks brought some edge to her girl-next-door look by adding a few fuschia tracks to her dark locks. The rocker look is fun and flirty, which is perfect for the young songstress.
Kelis has always been a show-stopper with her no holds bar attitude, eccentric style and wacky colored hair. The red is a huge improvement from the silver hair she was previously sporting.
Kelly Rowland loved to experiment with color during her Destiny's Child days. Who could forget her blue hair phase? These days the solo songstress is sporting more natural colors.
Keri Hilson is known for switching up her do every now and then. This time around the songstress experimented with some dark red tones. These days though, you can find her sporting an array of blond shades.
Keyshia Cole is definitely a woman who isn't afraid of bright colors! Since entering the game, she's worn just about every shade of orange and red under the sun. Somehow she's made it work. These days Ms. Cole seems to have her heart set on blond.
Tameka "Tiny" Cottle recently added a little oomph to her blond tresses with a few hot pink tracks. We're loving the color.
The benefit of getting custom blended hair is that you can select the exact color and texture you want to create your custom weave. When it comes to custom blended hair, Adorable Hair Corp is hands down one of the top brands in the business. A number of stylists and celebrities just adore the brand.
"I've been buying Adorable hair for my clients for years now, and they always rave about the quality," says celebrity stylist Elethia Smith. "It's just one of those things where you get what you pay for." With custom hair, you can get your tracks customized, but it'll cost you a bit extra. If you want your tracks thinner or less likely to shed, then it is well worth the price.
It's impossible to list the top hair weave brands without mentioning Sensationnel hair. So many women swear by their Goddess Remi Natural Yaki hair ($67.99, BeautyOfNewYork.com). By no means is it cheap, but it offers a sleek look without being too silky. If you want to achieve the same look with custom hair weave, Lugo Hair Center is a very affordable alternative.
Whether you're into packaged or custom hair weave, the wide variety of hair colors and textures offered almost guarantees that you'll be able to find the perfect match.
