In a nutshell, what is Cambodian hair like?

However, in every comparison article, I will focus on outstanding features of both the two objects; thus, you can have a better overview of them.
So, if you do think that I will repeat basic information, do not worry because there are always several things that deserve your reading. Cambodian hair is of course collected from Cambodian people who are aware of all the best natural hair treatments in the world.
Long black hair is one of the standard criteria that they use to assess the beauty of one lady. If a Cambodian girl does not have these characteristics, she will be upset as she does not have anything in common with other traditional girls. Due to that reason, every Cambodian female pays much attention to hair care.
When first analysing Cambodian hair, you will be impressed by 4 features. Firstly, it is coarse and thick, in deed. Thus, you can easily mix it and let it blend seamlessly with loose African hair which is a hot product on the market. Second, Cambodian hair is highly textured in that it is available in various patterns such as straight, curly, wavy and the like. More importantly, these textures are 100% natural, which means that it can achieve such curly, such straight or such wavy patterns without any interference of chemical process.
The third feature should be its durability and versatility. By durability, I mean it can hold beautiful curls or wave for good. Once wearing, forever last with proper care from its owner. According to hair experts, Cambodian hair is one of the healthiest hair type in the world and maybe in this contest between Cambodian hair vs Malaysian one, the former is dominant.
Last but not least, Cambodian hair is an easy accessory from root to end. It allows any style that you want and any color that you desire to dye. As it is unprocessed, you just need to take several basic steps to get the strands right color and appear such even. Cambodian hair just does not welcome bleaching as Vietnamese one.
How gorgeous your hair will be when it is dyed.
Cambodian hair vs Malaysian one all do not welcome bleaching, which prove that they are all easy for you to style hair in whatever way you like and in whatever color that you prefer.
What is Malaysian hair like? (detailed part)
It is ranked as one of the most trending hair extensions in the world as this Southeast Asia hair is extremely sought after natural texture and frequently used by celebrities. Young people are all in love with its silky and lustrous look. Should you want to get an extremely gorgeous feel, smooth and shiny hair, then Malaysian hair integrations are born to be yours.
In terms of versatility, both Cambodian hair vs Malaysian one provide clients with flexibility and perfect blending. Celebrities love them for that reason. Their textures are equally various with some common textures such as straight, curly, wavy, body wave and so forth.
The special thing that tells it apart from others is that it comes in different styles to meet different demands and that Malaysian weaves typically do not curl when they are wet. Shampoo does not ruin the straight texture; on the contrary, it helps to create a slight wave with lots of body and bounce.
Actually Malaysian hair is not excessively shiny and is as sleek as Cambodian hair. Its lustre is low to medium, just like Brazillian hair. Without your use of hi-end products, you can still have good curls because it is truly good in nature.
When comparing Cambodian hair vs Malaysian one, I can see that they have the same natural color which is very dark brown. Maybe hair donors are living in the same neighborhood; so, their hair receives the same amount of sunlight, is affected by similar climate and knows how to take advantage of natural hair treatments.
In addition to straight, body wave and kinky curly hair texture, Malaysian hair is destined to have some popular hair pieces, including lace closures and lace wigs. For other hair types, lace closures and lace wigs are not frequently used and bought by clients. So why is Malaysian hair a special case?
It can be said that Malaysian wig or closure is among top quality virgin hair. Besides, it could last long and keep looking great all the times. Malaysian wigs can be anything from straight, long, short to curly. If you are new to hair extensions, it is advised to get some wigs to experience comfortable artificial hair.
Which is your dream hair: Cambodian hair vs Malaysian?
To be honest, as an expert, I could not say for sure the answer for your questions because we are all different and we have different taste for beauty. In other words, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Depending on your hair requirements, you will have a different choice. The only thing that I can confirm you that they are good in nature and it would be a wise investment of yours.
They all have a long lifespan, which means you do not have to replace hair extensions so often. When it comes to prices, Malaysian hair has the same price as that of Cambodian. So you do not have to worry too much if you are in tight budget. They are all affordable.
When it comes to hair quality, the most important thing to consider is whether the hair virgin human hair or not. As long as it is collected right from local donors, you will get the best of it.
When it comes to length, there is a slight difference between Cambodian hair vs Malaysian one. While Cambodian hair comes in length from 12-26 inches, that of Malaysian ranges from 10 to 30 inches. However, in general, you have the same recipe to estimate how much bundles you should purchase.
The following is the table that I suggest in every article. Without learning it by heart or keeping it as an important note, you will definitely purchase hair extensions in an inappropriate amount.

However, there are several steps in installations that you need to take notice of.

Meanwhile, for Malaysian, especially those who have intention of getting weaves, remember not to cut the weave tracks when you apply your Malaysian bundles. If not, your hair will suffer from shedding due to loose ends. Nevertheless, it is not suggested that you do weave through the tracks. On the contrary, you should weave around them.
By this tips, your hair can last for longer time as weaving through hair tracks could detach some of strands and result in shedding with time.
This is what I call shedding, which is a terrible phenomenon for your hair extensions.
One more thing that makes Malaysian hair more outstanding than its counterpart is that it does not swell or frizz in humid conditions, which means you can get low maintenance. What a good news for those who are living in coastal areas or humid climate!

However, you still need to bear in mind some notes that I have written in order that you could have a better option for your budget, your locations and your ability to take care of it.
Price of Malaysian Straight Virgin Hair Grade 6A ranges from $50 to $100 per 3 bundles. Meanwhile, price of Cambodian Straight Virgin Hair Grade 6A ranges from $70 to over $100 per 3 bundles

– When the hair is in a humid state, there are two ways to dry it: One is to dry the hair in the light in the morning, the other is to use a dedicated hair dryer at a moderate heat (should also limit the use of the dryer because reduces the quality of hair fibers).
– Before drying, we fixed the wig firmly on a wooden bow head, using a comb to comb the hair.
– Adjust the dryer to the average temperature and wind, change the top-down airflow, place the 45 degree diagonal machine against the top of the head and about 20 cm away from the hair.
– If carefully, after drying, you should use some olive oil on your hair to increase the shine and flexibility for the hair. Olive oil is a great ingredient for hair and this is the way to restore hair extensions that are so effective that few people think about it.
– Avoid drying hair at high temperatures if you don’t want the extensions to deteriorate quickly. Do not expose your hair to harsh sunlight, this will make it easier to dry and split ends.
