Hair extensions are not only a style trend but a way for many women to add length, volume and color without the time and expense of growing their hair.100% human hair weaving remy pre-colored With so many options, it’s easy to get confused when trying to choose the best kind of hair for your look. There are different styles, terms and types of hair to consider including virgin, Remy and non-Remy, and it’s important to know what each means.

Often, non-Remy human hair will be blended with synthetic fibres or animal hair to lower its cost.100% human hair weaving remy pre-colored This is a big red flag and can indicate that you are not getting 100% real human hair. This will typically result in hair that tangles easily and is damaged by heat and sunlight. It also won’t hold a curl and will not last as long as true remy human hair which can last upwards of one year when properly cared for.

Remy hair is characterized by its unstripped cuticles and strands that go in the same direction making it easier to detangle than other non-Remy hair. Remy hair is also more durable than other types of human hair and can be conditioned, washed and colored safely (though it is recommended that you keep your dying to a minimal as this can damage the hair).

Non-Remy hair can have its cuticles stripped to make it more affordable, but this compromises the quality of the hair. Stripped cuticles cause the hair to tangle easily and lose its sheen. It will also not maintain a natural curl or hold a color.

While remy human hair can be dyed, it is important to note that the color will fade a little faster than your natural hair. This is because the dyes are absorbed into the strands of hair rather than being deposited on top of it.
