You always thought you knew everything there is to know about hair extensions, then you read somewhere people talk about bone straight hair and how shiny, flashy it would be. At that time, you start wondering: What is bone straight hair? Is it different from natural straight hair? Why do people choose bone straight over natural straight hair or curly, wavy hair? This article will be the guidance for you to get trendy straight hair if you are interested in one.
I, Defination
First thing first, it is important that you can have a clear vision of what each type of hair exactly is in order to tell the difference between them.
1.What is natural straight hair
Natural straight hair is, as it is called, completely natural. The hair is collected from donors’ heads and is unprocessed through the whole manufacturing process. It contains mostly flat hair, cuticles aligned and is smooth and silky just like your real hair.
2.What is bone straight hair
Bone straight hair is also natural but it is straightened and slightly processed. After being collected from donors’ heads, the hair is treated by a special cream. This cream will be a shield protecting the cuticles from outside factors, keeping it unidirectional and maintaining the softness, smoothness and silkiness of the hair. Besides, in order to give an extreme feel of straightness, the hair is also treated by heat. This process is calculated precisely in a way that it can not affect the core structure of the hair strand, leaving no damage to it but to make the hair straight and shine naturally.
II, What are the differences?
The one thing that natural straight and bone straight hair both share is that they are straight. However, the word “straight” itself can vary in this case. Let’s take a closer look at each type to see how they are different from each other.

After being collected
Natural straight hair is kept in its original condition and is not processed in any form. Cuticles remain aligned as it is on real natural hair.
Bone straight hair is straightened by heat and treated by a special cream after being collected from donors’ heads. Cuticles are kept aligned for a longer period of time.
Texture
Depending on the original condition of donors’ hair, natural straight hair contains flat hair that can be a little wavy at the ends. This natural wavy texture makes the hair look somewhat fuller.
The hair is soft, shiny and smooth. However, as human natural hair shines unevenly, there are parts of the hair that may shine less or more than others. So it is not as glossy and shiny as bone straight hair and looks more natural.
Bone straight hair is completely straight from root to tip and will remain straight for over a year. After that, you can use hair straightener to restore its flat, silky look and reuse the hair for another year.
The hair is superbly silky and smooth and it goes all the way with an even, unique shine. Bone straight hair is easily recognized by its surreal shiny appearance.
Ability to style
Natural straight hair is available for any styling. Though the hair is silky and smooth thanks to aligned cuticles, you still have to brush or comb the hair carefully to prevent shedding or tangling.
By choosing good quality human straight hair, you can make it into long curly, wavy hair or even a bob.
Bone straight hair is supposed to be straight, once and for all. The hair strands are strong. This means stress-free: No tangle, no frizzle and less brushing.
Since it has been straightened by heat, it is mostly impossible to curl, add waves or style the hair. It will fall back easily to its straightened shape.
III, How to maintain bone straight hair
Instead of cutting, styling and using chemicals on real hair, using hair extensions has become the way out for many people, especially women who want to change their look frequently. Bone straight hair, as you can clearly see now, is an ideal option for a new look. Unlike curly, wavy hair, bone straight is a real time-saving since it requires no styling at all but still gives a flashy, trendy look thanks to its sleekness. However, the unique shiny look needs unique maintenance. To make sure your hair is in its best condition for a long time, here’s how to maintain bone straight hair:
- Use a hair straightener and set the temperature at low or medium (160 – 180 celsius) if you want to straighten your hair. Prepare the hair with serum to keep it moisturized and comb it carefully before straightening.
- Comb the hair from tail to top if needed. If you have long bone straight hair, it can get tangled up sometimes, especially in the wind. Choose a good quality brush and comb slowly from the tail and move upward until you finish.
- Always use nutrient-rich shampoo and conditioner when washing bone straight hair. You can also use hairspray, hair serum or essential oils to give moisture to the hair.
- Blow-dry at medium temperature and do not blow it too dry. Over exposure to any kind of heat will damage your hair extensions as well as your real hair, so be gentle!
