Do you know what Remy hair really means

 Remy hair is a term used all over the hair extension industry.  But do you know what it really means?  In a nutshell, Remy hair refers to the manufacturing process, where you can distinguish the root end from the tip of the hair.  If this distinction is not clear, then you have non-Remy hair.

Although most companies claim to offer 100% Remy Human Hair, most of the time they don’t.  To manufacture large quantities of hair extensions, the cuticle on the hair must be removed first, which results in more manufacturing time and money.

The only way hair extensions are 100% Remy Human Hair is if the cuticle is left intact.  When the cuticle is left intact during processing, the hair will not tangle, and the strands of hair will remain in the same root-tip direction.  Once you remove the cuticle, the hair will tangle easily and appear dull.  Some manufacturers will even apply a coating onto the hair to deceive the consumer into thinking that the hair is Remy Hair.  However, once you wash the hair a few times, the coating will fade, and you will see the true quality of the hair.

The term Remy Hair is desirable in the hair extension industry due to its quality and increased cost compared to non-Remy hair. Manufacturers use the term Remy Hair on their products to market for more sales.  If you’re looking for a new extension brand, make sure to have the manufacturer or your stylist clarify that the body wave weave is in fact 100% Remy Human Hair with the cuticle intact.
