Remy hair is harvested, and stored carefully so that all the cuticles face in the same direction. In other words, they work to make sure that the hair is managed in a way that it does not get jumbled around or turned in different directions. The allows the hair cuticle layers to lay in the same direction so that it will not tangle and mat up on your head.. Remy hair does not mean that it only comes from India. Remy hair can also come from Brazil and Native Americans. All three of these cultures have a similar texture of thick, straight hair.

It is the preferred choice for wigs and hairpieces because of its appealing qualities. It is also referred to as cuticle hair, virgin hair and raw hair.

Remy Facts.

You can tell if Remy hair is authentic or not in several ways. First of all, if it is priced considerably lower than Remy hair then you should be suspicious

1.Remy hair feels cool to the touch.
2.Remy hair is hair that has been collected by a hair donor. The cuticles are not stripped and remain aligned in one direction.
3. Remy hair has a smoother, shinier, and healthier appearance than regular human hair. When washed, it will not mat and tangle. Virgin Remy hair has not been chemically processed; this hair is raw and natural in other terms. Non-virgin Remy hair underwent some sort of chemical processing in order to achieve another colour.

4. look at the hair. It should have a lighter colour at the bottom than at the top. This will indicate that all the hairs are running in the same direction. Finally feel the hair by running it between your fingers from top to bottom, it should feel smooth and sleek. Run your fingers in the opposite direction and it should feel rougher (do this to your own hair, see what I mean)

Wherever you purchase your hair extensions, do your home work,and make sure the hair is Remy, but most of all , feel good and love your hair.
