The Real Goods on Remi Hair Extensions

Remi Hair Extensions is arguably the most misused word in the hair industry.

Originally the term was used to refer to human hair of the highest grade, virgin hair with full intact cuticle. With intact cuticle it is imperative they be unidirectional. This is not an easy task considering that the hair is mainly collected in an uncontrolled environment such as a temple, rather than at a salon or in a lab. Originally the term meant that the hair was strong, healthy virgin hair that is free of any chemical processing and that the hair has been carefully collected guaranteeing that all strands are running in only one direction (unidirectional). The intact cuticle protects the shaft and ensures longer wear.

Raw virgin hair extensions are usually available in dark colours and may be sold as virgin cuticle hair. However, many women in Europe, Australia and North America began to purchase extensions that required colour, blondes and brunettes, and the designation Remi came to mean that the extensions must begin as virgin hair before it is coloured by the manufacturer.

Since the term Remi is referring to the directional cuticle, many factories may strip away some cuticle but still maintain one direction. This is non-Cuticle Remi. Unfortunately, over time many dealers also call low grade human hair Remi, that is hair that has had numerous chemical treatments.

IS THERE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE REMI TUNNEL?

Yes, the answer is Cuticle Remi, extensions that will still have intact cuticle. The appearance may be less shiny and it may feel less soft than non-cuticle Remi hair, but experts consider the look more natural. Many consider it the most luxurious to the touch. Cuticle hair has the most realistic texture and will blend beautifully into the natural hair. Intact cuticle protects the delicate interior of the hair shaft from UV light, heat, chemicals and drying environments. Cuticle Remi is therefore the most durable and long lasting of all. The cuticle also helps to hold styling and shape better than other hair extensions. Cuticle Remi may be coloured but it has maintained the original intact cuticle.

The secret is to find Cuticle Remi hair extensions.

SINGLE DRAWN OR DOUBLE DRAWN, THAT IS THE QUESTION...

Single drawn hair contains different lengths, like our own hair. Single drawn her is less expensive. Some single drawn hair has only half the specified length, for example, 20" and the balance will contain shorter lengths beginning as short as 10"! This single drawn hair is labeled full length and is generally very wispy and thin.

Double drawn hair is when the individual strands are all the same length. This hair has been painstakingly sorted into lengths before bonding. Double drawn hair is more expensive but it's much thicker than single drawn hair and therefore you need less to get a greater effect.

THE MAGIC WORDS...

Double drawn Cuticle Remi Hair Extensions. I warn you that they are hard to find. I personally only know of one company in Canada that carries them. They are referenced in the bio section this article.
