What is the Virgin Remy Hair Extensions?

If you are thinking it is time for a makeover, hair extensions would be a great way to do just that. Hair extensions can make you look and feel fabulous.  But when you want to buy a human hair extensions, there are many questions to get and as the beginners who want to use the human hair, but not the synthetic hair can be so confused what kinds of human hair for you, what virgin hair is, what remy hair and non-remy hair are, what advantage and disadvantage between them…To get you know more about hair extensions, I make some information for you to definite them.

1.      Virgin Hair

Virgin hair extensions are 100% real human hair that has never been altered by a chemical process like dyes, perms, bleaches, or harsh washes. Human remy hair extension means that it is collected from virgin hair donors. They are never chemically treated, and comes from hair donors with long healthy hair. Virgin hair is the highest quality human hair available on the market. Virgin hair is fragile and should be processed differently than other hair extensions to keep the hair healthy and soft like it was while being collected.

This hair is expensive, yet it does last for a longer time than remy hair, making it worth the investment.

2.      Remy Hair

Remy Hair extensions are the most popular human hair extensions on the market due to the quality and price. Remy hair is a high quality hair that lasts up to a year and blends very well with your own hair. The remy hair means that all the cuticles are intact, running in the same direction. Remy hair is gathered from the head of donors/producers in such a way as to keep the hair’s cuticles properly aligned in relation to its neighboring hairs.

When all hair strands follow the same direction there will be almost no tangling and matting. With true high quality remy hair, the hair collected is healthy, the cuticles intact and all cuticles flow in the same direction from root to the tip. So although all Remy hair is Virgin hair, not all Virgin hair is Remy hair.

  As you guessed, there are many qualities of remy hair and what determines your experience with remy hair is how the hair is when manufactured.  Remy hair can be from Asia: Vietnam hair , China,...,India, Brazin, etc - where it comes from really doesn't matter as long as it's ethically sourced.

The remy hair extensions can be Single Drawn Hair that have the short hairs inside or the double drawn hair that means hair is 100% one length, full ends and no short hairs inside. And they are true remy hair processed properly and the true remy hair will not tangle often, look natural, smooth, and will blend well with your own hair. And there will be many types of remy hair extensions for you to consider.

  For example, our remy hair extension can be provided with free of lice and nits, and remy hair length: 6’’, 8’’, 10’’, 12”, 14”, 16”, 18”,…. 32’’, for longer length as custom’s order the hair. The hair extensions can be dyed or flat ironed, all hairs are in their natural color but client can add different color or length. And we can make many textures of hair extensions like the machine weft, the prebond, the closure,…. 

         3.      Non- remy Hair

Non-remy hair is hair that collected from the floor of temples, salons and random suppliers. With this type of collection method, cuticle directions become mixed, causing inevitable shedding, tangling and matting problems.

So hair suppliers will use harsh chemicals to strip the cuticles completely and then apply a large amount of silicone coating to make the hair appear soft and silky. The hair initially feel silky and soft, however, after few washes the silicone coating wears off and the hair feels very brittle and starts matting and tangling. Also, since the cuticles are stripped and not intact, the hair extensions are unable to tolerate color treatment or heat. 

So, I hope that you know clearly about them, and consider the advantage and disadvantage between them to make a good choice, and the last things that if you really care about your hair your style, I hope that you don’t want to waste time in synthetic hair and the non-remy hair.
