Remy Hair Extensions are becoming more popular by movie stars, model and the fashion conscious person alike. Its not always easy to know if what you buying is exactly what it claims to be. Remy hair and virgin hair are labels that manufacturers use all the time and some use it quite loosely. So how do you know what you are getting?
The label of the hair is based on the characteristics of the hair and the method use to manufacture the hair. Most Remy hair is sourced from Asia, in particularly India. Some is sourced from Brazil and Russia as well. When collected most Remy is black, so it goes through a process to clean and sterilize the hair to make it safe for the wearer. Most hair is dyed into other colours to give a full spectrum of colours available.
Once the hair is collected, the manufacturer cuts and shapes the hair to be ready to manufacture into wigs and hair extensions. The texture can be changed to wavy or straight as desired. The hair is crafted to make sure the cuticles of the hair ( outer layer) all face the same direction which keeps it real looking and helps it from tangling. This gives the hair a silky smooth feel as well as keeping the natural shine of the hair.
Remy hair is more expensive the regular human hair. It is not always easy to tell just by looking at the hair. Some will be labelled as Virgin and remy hair. Virgin hair is usually black and unprocessed hair.
If the price seems really low then it probably is not Remy hair. Remy takes a lot more work to manufacture and is more expensive. To start with the hair may look great but if it starts to tangle or matt then it probably wasn’t Remy hair to start with.
Remy Hair extensions should last anything from 3 months to 6 months with regular care and maintenance.
