What Is Remy Hair?

In case, you have heard your stylist mentioned remy hair extensions, don’t get it wrong. It’s not another stylist who is going to do your hair. It is actually the type of hair extension that will be attached to you.

As an overview, there are two options or types of hair extensions—human hair and synthetic. Aside from the obvious difference the two got, human hair extensions are not only named as is. They can also be really treated like human hairs. It can be dyed, styled, washed, heated either in curls or straight and even treated just like your own natural hair. On the other hand, synthetic hair extensions are the ones that are a bit sensitive especially to the sun. Their life span is lesser than human hair extension and can sometimes be difficult to style. Another thing also, synthetic can far be too obvious making it difficult to blend well with your real hair locks.

Remy Hair – Human Hair Extension

Focusing now the human hair extension, there is a type that is mostly preferred by stylists aside from extension but to wigs and hairpieces as well. It is in the name of “Remy Hair”, considered as the highest grade of real, human hair due to the fact that it perfectly attains your most natural look.

Now, the question, as to why it is considered the highest grade and the finest quality of human hair provides you an answer that it is all because of the hair cuticles. Those have been carefully preserved intact and totally not stripped as in the case of the non-Remy hair extensions. Each has as well been carefully aligned in a unidirectional manner producing a look and appearance of hair extension at its most natural. Doing so, the hair maintains its softness, shiny look, silkiness and tangle-free appearance throughout its lifespan.

Some Disadvantages of Remy Hair

When talking about strength of human hair, it is best to trace back the real deal of human hairs. In human hairs, it is always the roots to mid-shaft of each strand that is the strongest. In the case of remy hair, it is next to impossible that they are created from roots to mid-shaft because they are mostly the “middle to ends” hair strands of the original donors. So, whether they are 100% natural human hair, remember that the strongest part is not there.

Plus, remy hairs are bleached and dyed beforehand due to the goals to produce varieties and choices. In the end, real hair problems would still be a nightmare. That includes dry ends causing easy frizz and breakage.

Remy Hair Maintenance

The next best thing you should do to prevent the above mentioned expectations is to have a good maintenance and routine for your remy hair. You of course start with day time care which preferably should not be applied with chemicals. As for the night time care, tangling is the common problem so try to wash off foreign substances first then brushing it in a straight pattern and wrapping with a silk scarf afterwards.
