QuoteReplyTopic: Why Remy Hair Posted: September 06 2010 at 5:56pm
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.
