Remy Hair
This is the baseline of human hair that you want to
be selecting in terms of ensuring you are not
getting…wait for it…..maybeeee…..ekkkkkk…..drain
hair! Gross. Remy Hair means that all the hair
cuticles are running in the same direction and the
donor hair is all from ponytails. If the hair is not
Remy then the hair has been collected, possibly,
from salon floors, hair brushes and unspeakable
other locations… this hair is all bundled together, the
factories then strip the life out of it and coat it with
silicones. This is to disguise the fact that the hair
shaft has been removed and a fake gloss is
applied. This silicone will wash out within a couple
of weeks or months, and then the true colours and
textures will be revealed. Not pretty. Non Remy hair
will also tangle constantly.

Virgin Hair
Hair that has never been coloured or processed is called ‘virgin hair’. Have
you ever bleached or dyed your hair before and the texture totally
changes? Well that’s not how you want your piece to start. If it starts with
that drier, almost straw-like texture then how is it going to look after months
of wear?
BUT - although you want to make sure that your piece started its journey as
virgin hair, it’s totally okay to be processed or coloured afterwards.
