Remy VS Non-Remy Human Hair For Extensions

There are two main categories of human hair on the market. While overall quality surpasses that of synthetic hair, you’ll have to pay close attention to whether the hair you’re buying is remy, non-remy, and/or virgin.

Remy hair is harvested to keep the cuticle intact for the most natural appearance and should be the right choice.  This has given it a reputation for being the highest quality hair available. Non-remy hair does not have the cuticle intact.

Whether the hair you’re buying contains the cuticle or not, you want to know if it is virgin, or unprocessed, or not. Virgin hair extensions are coveted worldwide due to their healthy sheen and squeaky clean history, making them much more expensive than pre-processed wefts. You may want virgin hair so that you can have your extensions chemically processed along with your natural hair.

(Tip: Use virgin remy wefts for hot or cold fusion extensions.)
