It's also kinda gross when it's been revealed that a lot of extensions we use for our hair contain nasty chemicals. So even if you didn't chemically treat your hair, you were still exposed to bad chemicals by other means. Makes me so glad I have microlocs!
This makes sense when I think about it, they're not a standardised industry and loads are going to be made in cheap factories. I've no idea how dangerous it is to have them as part of your hair, how much does it get into your body? It's really disappointing though, braids look great and they make hair care really easy,
Back in the 90s synthetic hair was so prevalent that it seemed to be everywhere, but today, there's a lot less of it around and due to it being replaced by real hair as far as extensions go.
I think synthetic hair still is quite big in wigs though and I can only assume it will evolve in the same way and be largely replaced by real hair as they get cheaper.
I'm old enough to remember that! Hopefully it will change
