Entering the world of hair extensions can be overwhelming.

With time, the technology, quality, and variety in extensions have increased manifold.

Now, you are open to different types of hair extensions and the material they are made of. 

You must have heard the term ‘Remy hair’ while shopping for extensions.

What is it exactly? Is it good for your hair? Is it quality hair? This blog answers all your questions regarding Remy hair.

Remy Hair: Synthetic Or Human Hair?

Many hair extensions are made of hair with and without its cuticles intact.

If you have chosen the ones with their cuticles intact, you have bought Remy hair.

This hair lasts long, remains soft and shiny, and the color remains vivid. 

If you are unsure whether Remy hair is synthetic or human hair, you should know that all hair cuticles are intact, which is only possible in natural hair.

Therefore, Remy hair is 100% human hair.

When you shop for extensions, you might also come across ‘non-Remy hair.’ Here’s how they are different from each other:

Difference Between Remy And Non-Remy Hair

Many women get confused between Remy and non-Remy hair.

It is often mistaken that non-Remy hair is synthetic because its cuticle game is not strong.

However, non-Remy hair is 100% human hair and has cuticles, but they are not aligned like Remy hair.

Here’s the difference between Remy and non-Remy hair:

Which One Is Tangle-Free?

Who doesn’t like tangle-free hair?

While it may be difficult to promise the same in natural hair, extensions can offer it to you.

In Remy hair extensions, the hair cuticles are aligned in the same direction, which results in tangle-free hair.

However, this is not the case in non-Remy hair, wherein hair strands derived from the source are bundled up without aligning the cuticles in the same direction. 

Which One Holds Better Quality?

When it comes to quality extensions, both Remy and non-Remy hair are eligible.

However, Remy hair has better quality because non-Remy hair is leftover hair.

The hair is usually collected in the end and is processed chemically in salons to make hair extensions. 

Because the cuticles are also not aligned in the same direction in non-Remy hair, the hair tangles, and mattes, reducing the lifespan of the extension.

Which Is Cost-Effective?

Usually, Remy hair is more expensive, and this is because the cuticles are aligned in the same direction, guaranteeing you the best quality.

However, India hair International offers you premium Remy hair at the best price! 

If you want to give your hair the most natural look and durability, you can opt for Remy hair extensions, which makes them cost-effective.

Which One Lasts Longer?

One of the most important factors while choosing between Remy and non-Remy hair is durability.

Remy hair extensions are slightly processed with cuticles aligned in the same direction, while non-remy hair extensions are dyed, curled, and processed with leftover hair bundled up. 

India Hair International’s Remy hair extensions, any day, last longer due to their fantastic hair quality, chemical-free nature, and quality assurance process.

If you take proper care of your Remy hair extensions, they can last up to a year!

On the other hand, non-Remy hair extensions can last up to 6 months with proper care. 

Which One Is Suitable?

If you are looking for extensions that last long, give your hair a natural look, and blend seamlessly with it, opt for IHI’s Remy hair extensions.

These extensions are made of 100% Indian Remy human hair and guarantee the best hair experience.

Remy hair is just like your natural hair; however, it needs to be washed with a little extra care. Here are the steps to appropriately wash Remy hair extensions:

• The first step to wash Remy hair is to detangle it. Comb the hair thoroughly to remove any tangles. The best way to do so is to comb the hair in an upward motion. Start combing it from the bottom and move upward as you detangle previous sections.
• The next step is to apply shampoo and conditioner to the Remy hair. Wet the hair just like your natural tresses and apply conditioner to it to moisturize it. Once done, apply sulfate-free shampoo to wash extensions and rinse thoroughly.
• Once you have washed your hair with shampoo, apply a moisturizing conditioner and keep it in for about 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly. 
• Wrap the washed hair in a towel and let it dry. Once it is dry, comb the hair thoroughly.

How To Dye Remy Hair?

Coloring at home

• Once you have applied the color to each section of your Remy hair extensions, loosely cover them with plastic wrap to prevent the color from drying out before it is soaked in. Let the color process at the standard room temperature for about 40 minutes.
• Ensure that the color has been applied appropriately by checking small sections of your Remy hair extensions every 5-10 minutes. You can do so by rubbing the color off the extension with a paper towel. When the process is complete and the color of your extensions is set, it's time to rinse the hair. Fold your tin foil in half for a simple transportation over to a sink.
• To rinse the extra color off your extensions, wash them with cold water. Use your fingers to gently work the excess dye out. The procedure would take about 15-20 minutes. Ensure to remove all the color; if you're not sure, keep rinsing. 
• Shampoo your Remy hair extensions with a mild, sulfate-free, moisturizing or color-safe shampoo to keep the extensions healthy.
• After you are done shampooing the extensions, apply a leave-in conditioner to each section of your extensions and comb them gently. Now, allow the extensions to air-dry thoroughly.
