Know Your Type of Brazilian Hair

If you want to know what Brazilian hair looks like, you may not get a solid answer, even from a full-blooded Brazilian. The country is one of the biggest melting pots in the world, having been subjected to European colonial rule throughout history. As a result, two Brazilian hair extensions in your local store will most likely appear distinctive.

That’s why the industry divided Brazilian hair extensions into different grades. Regardless of the grading, rest assured that no type of Brazilian hair is superior to the other. Comparing a Grade-A and a Grade-C Brazilian hair extension may as well be comparing apples and oranges. Here’s a rundown of the three grades of Brazilian hair.

Grade A
This type of Brazilian hair extension is usually derived from donors of European descent; more specifically British, French, or Dutch. Fine and silky, this hair is ideal for making lace wigs.

Grade B
The most common type of Brazilian hair extension in the market, Grade B comes in a variety of colors. Its main advantage is its high resistance to fading under exposure to the sun.

Grade C
This type comes from the native donors, people of African or Caribbean origin; their ancestors were the first settlers in the land. Like Grade B, Grade C also comes in a variety of colors and is commonly thick and curly. The hair extension industry often calls this “mulatto” or “molado.”
