Hair Extensions Types

We use two different types of human hair, Remy and Virgin.

 

REMY

 

We only use the highest quality 100% human Remy hair. Cuticle correct = No matting and tangling.

 

Our cuticle hair has its cuticles aligned in the same direction. This means the hair retains its cuticle (outer layer) and is specially processed to ensure all the cuticles are facing the same direction from root to end. This ensures that the hair does not tangle or matt.

 

Genuine Remy hair is very expensive and can not be supplied and fitted for little money. You may have found some extensioners claiming that the can supply and fit Remy hair at a low cost but we can assure you it will not be Remy hair. It will most likely be Silky straight or European. This hair does look healthy at first but after a few washes it tends to tangle and not last half as long as Remy.

 

Non Remy hair comes from many different donors so therefore the cuticles will be laying the wrong way. So when brushing non Remy hair you will be brushing against the shaft, almost like back combing. It is coated and treated to give a soft feel but once this has been washed it will look dull and cheap.

 

Our hair can be added to give length, volume, colour or just to look glamorous. If you’re looking for length and volume and you want maximum impact then you most certainly need a full head. However if it’s just volume you’re looking for then half head of hair maybe enough. This can also add a couple of inches.

 

VIRGIN

 

Human hair that is in it's original state, which has not been permed, colored, or chemically processed in any way.

 

Harvesting the hair in this manner takes more time, which contributes to the premium price of this hair. Virgin hair can be of any ethnic origin, but the best quality hair used in making wigs and quality extensions today is of Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish and Brazilian.

 

This is the most expensive hair of all because it is not as plentiful as lesser quality hair.

 

In spite of the high cost, top-quality Virgin European hair is in high demand by those who wish to wear only the finest.

 

All this will be assessed on your consultation.
