About Hair Quality: Remy Hair

Remy is a specific kind of Julia human hair that you can buy. With Remy hair, the cuticle has remained intact. When the hair is collected from the donor, it's usually put into a ponytail first. This keeps all the strands running in the same direction.

Having the cuticles all going the same way stops the tangling and shedding you see with other types of hair extensions. Some extensions have the cuticle removed to try to achieve the same effect.

Real hair has cuticles and removing them makes your human hair extensions look less real. The quality can also be compromised. Some techniques use an acid bath to remove the cuticle and then apply silicon and similar materials in its place. The hair may have the great shine to start with, but at that point, it is no longer 100% human hair and it performs less like human hair as well.

Once you wash it, the silicone wears away, the shine reduces, it becomes dull and lifeless and begins to mat and tangle. Remy hair won't do that to you and you can wear your extensions for six to eight weeks with proper care. You can then remove and reapply them

Remy hair is hair that has been donated in a way that has kept the cuticle facing in the same direction. Virgin is another good word to know when picking your extensions. It means hair that that has not been treated to any chemical process at all, including chemical straightening or curling, bleaching, and dyeing.

Once it's yours, however, you can obviously dye virgin hair yourself. And if it is curly, you can straighten it. If it is true virgin hair, the curls will come out in the shower.
