Synthetic hair extensions are used for weaving or braiding hair to create a hairstyle that adds length and fullness to the hair. Synthetic hair is less expensive than human hair and some types are made from fibers such as Kanekalon or Toyokalon that may cause the scalp to itch if the wearer is allergic to the hair. The best kinds of synthetic non-itching hair weaves and extensions are Monofiber, Futura and Outré Batik synthetic hair.
