Remy hair is human hair, often from India because it’s the most popular, that has been shorn with
the cuticles still intact. Unlike other hair used for extensions, Remy
hair does not undergo the typical processing other hair destined for
weaves undergoes. While Remy hair is not necessarily virgin hair in
that it has been treated while on the donor's head, it is virgin hair
in the sense that it does not undergo chemical treatments after being
collected from the donor.

Process

Typically, donor hair is stripped off donors and thrown into piles
with other hair destined for hair extension production. The problem
with this process is that care is not taken to ensure that the
cuticles of hair from a specific donor remain aligned in the same
direction. This results in easy tangling. To combat this problem, most
donor hair is stripped of cuticle by getting an acid bath. Silicone is
then applied where the cuticles previously were. This gives extensions
a smooth look. However, after extensions are washed on the head of the
wearer, the silicone wears off and the hair tangles and mats easily,

since the cuticles are not all facing the same direction.
Now there is different types of Remy hair, Remy hair comes from several different locations in the world. Indian hair is the most popular choice because it is of a texture and color that can be easily matched to people from all around the world and of different ethnic backgrounds. The next most popular choice is Brazil. The blend of European and Native American ancestors produces hair that is thick and suitable for people from different races.


Difference

Remy hair, on the other hand, remains shiny and natural looking, after

being worn and washed, because it has not been damaged by the
acid-bath process. And because care was taken in the production
process to ensure that cuticles remain facing the original direction,
hair does not tangle or mat any easier than the extension wearer's
natural hair.

Benefits

The key benefit is that extensions made from Remy hair can be worn
longer than extensions made with hair that has undergone traditional
processing without the need to take extra care of damaged, chemically
processed hair.
