Benefits of Human Hair Extensions

Several different types of hair extensions are available, including those made from human hair, animal hair, and synthetic fibers. Most experts agree that human hair extensions are the best and most natural looking. With human hair extensions, wearers are not locked into a particular color or style. The extensions can be washed, colored, and styled just like your own natural hair. Such a wide variety of human hair extensions are available that stylists can easily match the color and texture of your own hair with.

With expert selection, professional application, and conscientious care, human hair extensions are virtually indistinguishable from your own natural hair.
Human hair extensions are available in two basic formats — strands and wefts. The strands format involves adding small sections of hair to your existing hair. Wefts are large clumps of hair attached at the top. Human hair extensions can be applied in a variety of ways. One popular method is to sew the extensions into small cornrows. Professionals will often sew strands with subtle color variations — this tends to give the extensions a more natural look. Hair extensions can also be weaved, braided, fused, clamped, or glued.

Beyond the different formats, there are also large varieties of hair types available. Hair from most regions of the world is available, including Asia, Europe, and the Arctic. Arctic hair is chemically untreated, also known as raw or virgin. This hair is considered the best as it is most open to coloring, perming, and styling.

What is Remy Hair

* Why buy Remy hair (cuticle hair)?
This hair is truly our most exceptional ever. It is cut from one person’s head & sewn in the same direction hair naturally grows. Unlike other commercial hair The Cuticle is just like nature intended it to be. Texture is silky soft with subtle waves. Cuticle hair is created by careful processing which leaves the cuticle layer of the hair in place. The result is a superior hair item that colors beautifully - it has the highlights and natural shading just like your hair.

* What is Remy Hair?
Human hair collected directly from a hair donor is Remy Hair. It is sometimes referred to as Cuticle Hair, Virgin Hair and Cut Hair. The majority of human hair sold in the industry is non-cuticle hair. The hair cuticle has been stripped by using an acid-bath. With Remy hair we do not do this so the hair cuticle is intact, therefore the hair is stronger.

* How is it collected?
Remy hair is collected by appointment directly from the hair donor. The hair is tied in one direction, harvested and the result is unstripped hair cuticle in addition natural direction of the hair is preserved. Hair that is collected at random, not keeping track of the natural direction will tangle when it gets wet. Even though some part of the hair cuticle will be treated in the coloring process, hair shaft will be left healthy enough to keep its original functions. With Remy hair the cuticle is always going in one direction as on a natural head of hair, so it does not tangle.

* What is the advantage of Remy Hair?
Nicest feel and touch - Remy hair is stronger. Remy hair is soft and has a finer feel to it. This is the hair that movie stars and rich people use. It is so nice, that everybody who tries it loves it. Remy hair lasts longer, keeps vitality and elasticity, colors better (enhancing color consistency over 95% to that of synthetic- fiber), easier to comb and it curls better. The most impressive advantage of Remy hair is tangle-free and long life (three times longer than most wigs).
