Brazilian vs. Malaysian Hair: What’s the Difference?

Is it even really possible?

Technically no.

Honestly, for most hair companies, these exotic hair extensions that they are selling are no different.

Because both are the same. After hair manufacturers produced tons of hair extensions of the same style, they used different marketing labels to describe the same product.

But, there are also authentic exotic hair extensions on the market from their stated place of origin. It’s very rare!

With some similarities and techniques from hair manufacturers, ordinary people find it hard to distinguish between real and fake Brazilian or Malaysian hair.

Therefore, they can easily mix them and call that mixture as “Brazilian” or “Malaysian.”

Some Characteristics of True Brazilian And Malaysian Hair:

Both Brazilian and Malaysian hair extensions come in wavy, straight or curly patterns, but the curly and wavy hairstyles have been steamed.

• Brazilian Hair– True Brazilian hair is durable and versatile. Brazilian virgin hair is beautiful, light, shiny, and it makes excellent looking hair extensions. The hair blends well with most natural hair textures.
• Malaysian Hair– True Malaysian hair is very soft and silky. If you want volume and thickness, Malaysian hair is a good option because it has great bounce and heavy body.

Unfortunately, true Brazilian and Malaysian hair is very rare. And there’s no way to guarantee to pick out real exotic hair from the chaotic hair market.

Which Hair is Better Malaysian or Brazilian?

Brazilian and Malaysian hair extensions never come from these exotic places. These two exotic hair terms are marketing tactic, just like Mink Brazilian, hair grade system.

Someone claims that Brazilian hair is superior to Malaysian hair, this answer is untenable.

That is because the vast majority of the time, the two kinds of hair of one company are the same with different marketing labels.

Compared with other companies, one company version of Brazilian or Malaysian hair may not be the same. Because there is no uniform standard to manufacture hair extensions.

In actuality, even if hair companies claim that their hair extensions are actually from these “exotic” areas, there are no methods you can use to ensure that these so-called extensions are sourced exotically.

So, if you want high-quality hair extensions, you should more care quality variables of hair products.

For example:

• Is hair company’s hair extension Remy with the cuticles facing the same direction?
• Is the hair 100% human hair?
• How much do the bundles weigh?
• What is the weft construction? Double stitch?
• Has the hair been chemically processed?
• What percentage of this hair includes short hair?

If you get the below answer regarding their hair extensions:

One company offers 100% human hair extensions. All the bundles are a standard weight of 100 grams. The hair has the cuticles facing in the right direction and double stitch wefts to reduce shedding. And it has never been chemically processed. Besides, the hair includes less short hair.

If so, the quality of this hair brand is very excellent.

In short, You can’t ensure which hair is better ONLY by name.
