WHAT IS REMY HAIR?

Remy hair is human hair where all strands are aligned in the same direction, mimicking natural hair growth. This alignment, with the cuticle (outermost layer of the hair) intact and flowing in one direction, is crucial for preventing tangling, matting, and breakage. Remy hair is considered a higher quality and more desirable type of human hair for extensions and wigs because of its natural appearance, softness, and longevity. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

• Cuticle Alignment:

The key characteristic of remy hair is that all the hair cuticles are aligned in the same direction, just like hair growing naturally. This is in contrast to non-remy hair, where hair strands are collected from various sources and their cuticles may be facing different directions. 

• Benefits:

Because of the intact and aligned cuticles, remy hair is less prone to tangling and matting, making it easier to manage and style. It also tends to be softer, shinier, and more durable than non-remy hair, often lasting longer. 

• Quality:

Remy hair is considered a premium hair quality, and it is often used in high-end hair extensions and wigs. 

• Processing:

While remy hair is typically human hair, it may undergo some processing, such as dyeing or perming. However, it’s important to note that excessive processing can compromise the quality and longevity of the hair.
