Definitions of single versus double drawn
Remy (AKA Remi) Hair: Simply is the hair-bundle, with hair arranged in such a way that the roots of all the hair in entire bundle are on one end of the bundle and the ends on the other end of the bundle. Remy hair has its cuticles intact. In other words, all the cuticles are Unidirectional (in same direction) and are undisturbed. You should be aware that not all hair sold as Remy (Remi) is TRULY remy hair as per this definition. Genuine remy hair is sold in two forms:

Remy Hair Single Drawn: This hair is collected by shaving the head and hence each bundle of hair is like pony tail with different hair lengths with the very short hair taken out. For example: in a bundle of 20" "remy single drawn" you could find hair of size 14" 16", 18" 20"
Remy Hair Double Drawn: This is usually the most expensive hair. This is single drawn hair which has been cut on both ends so that the whole bundle of hair is the same length. For example a 20" Remy Double Drawn hair-bundle will have all hairs of 20" (hair is drawn by hand, not by machine hence small error is evitable). It does not have any short hair inside.

Non Remy Hair: Also called fallen hair. This hair has the roots and ends mixed up. This hair has problems with tangling as the cuticles are not in same direction. This hair is not very expensive. Though this kind of hair has problems, it is still the most popular kind of hair sold in the world. Most BSS hair is Non Remy hair. Non Remy hair is sold as Double Drawn hair and has two kinds of quality.

Tangle Free Non Remy Hair: Sometimes referred to as “cuticle hair”. This is Non Remy Hair where the cuticles have been chemically removed. This hair has gone through an acid bath which strips most of the cuticle from the hair. The cuticle removal helps prevent tangling from misaligned cuticles. The hair is then dipped in silicone in an attempt to give the hair a healthy appearance. The hair will appear beautiful and shiny at first, but after shampooing and styling, the silicone coating eventually wears off. The hair will eventually become tangled, dry and unmanageable.
Normal Non Remy Hair: This is the least expensive hair available, but it has the most tangling problems as the cuticles are misaligned.
