Have you ever tried to buy a wig? Think back to your first experience, was it a bit difficult? You have to pick your size, color, it's all based on forced personal preference. The pusher also has to pay attention to some professional indicators of the wig, such as the base, the material of the hair. Even if you are looking for longer life and comfort and you choose a real wig, you have a further decision to make: whether to choose remy hair, which is an unfamiliar name and you don't know anything about it. what exactly is remy hair?
Remy hair
1. Quality:
These hair extensions are made from the finest 100% virgin human hair. So the cuticle is intact and undamaged.
Throughout the extensions process, they follow a certain direction, keeping the natural cuticle direction of the hair, just like the weft passing over the skin. This allows our hair extensions to remain tangle-free while looking very natural and shiny.
Merchants use this word in order to lure customers into thinking that real hair is the best quality wig. In other words, remy hair is used for sales purposes.
Because remy hair is aligned in this neat way, another benefit is that it minimizes shedding, breakage, prevents tangling and increases the longevity of the hair extensions, helping them to last longer.
2. Price:
Combining several of these features, you can easily see that it seems that remy hair is ten excellent in terms of both workmanship and quality and authenticity. This situation also must have caused remy hair to be expensive.
3. Collection:
Remy hair means hair collected and sorted from various sources with roots and tips moving in the same direction to ensure that the cuticle doesn't tangle or matte. It is true human hair.
Artificial hair extensions were originally collected from most women who voluntarily donated their hair usually due to religious beliefs and reasons. These donated hair extensions are processed at a factory for export.
Once these hair are sent to the factory, the hair is carefully separated according to length, color and texture. Next, they are simply washed and dried according to this classification. But they are not over-processed, such as dyed, etc. This also preserves the original smoothness of the natural hair to a large extent.
Once dried, the next process is to simply tie the hair together, machine stitch it, sort it and package it for export.
Non-remy hair
1. Quality:
Unlike Remy wigs, non-remy prices are much lower than it. So as you can guess, it has more or less shortcomings in terms of quality and feeling of use. Specifically, there are several aspects.
Unlike the cuticle of remy hair which is so neat and smooth, the cuticle of non-remy runs in two directions and in order to make the wig more conformable and silky, higher concentrations of acids are used in their manipulation process. This behavior greatly reduces the hair's original moisture and naturally leads to dry, straw-like hair.
Over-processing leads to non-remy dry, frizzy, and hard to handle hair. Therefore some manufacturers like to use thick silicone to cover up this truth and make the hair look shiny and healthy. You can think of it as hair with a coat of shampoo. Then, as soon as non-remy touches water, this moisturizing and lubricating silicone is washed away, and the result is your wig is very frizzy and dull. You may have also noticed that no less non-remy wigs will prompt you not to wash them.
2. Price:
You can naturally understand that non remy is much cheaper than remy because it is not as good as remy hair both in terms of feel and longevity.
3. Collect:
Non-Remy hair is collected from the floors of temples, salons and random vendors. With this method of collection, the cuticle direction becomes mixed, causing the inevitable shedding, tangling and matting problems.
Compare them, which should I choose
Having known how to compare Remy hair and non-Remy hair, it is time to choose the right product for yourself. As the saying goes, "Good things don't come cheap, and cheap things don't taste good." This saying also applies to you when picking a wig. Therefore, you should combine your budget as well as your needs. You should realize that remy hair is not easily tangled, very silky and you do not need to spend much effort. Also, consider the time it takes to use it.
