Many
different types of hair used within the hair replacement industry. Three main
types of hair are widely used in hair replacement systems – Synthetic fiber,
Normal human hair (including Chinese hair and Indian hair), Remy hair and
Virgin hair.
1. Synthetic
Hair
Synthetic
hair is simply very fine plastic filaments made primarily of modacrylic fibres
that have the look and feel of real hair. But We use only the real human hair.
2.
Normal Human Hair
There
are two main types of human hair used in hair replacement systems – Chinese
hair and Indian hair.
1)
Chinese hair
Chinese
hair is the most common type of hair found in hair systems on the market today.
The reason for this is simple - it's readily available in large quantities and
cheap to buy. However Chinese hair has a round cross-section as opposed to the
oval shape of European hair, making it too thick, rigid and coarse to be appropriate
for people of European descent. In order to reduce the thickness and give it a
softer and finer texture many hair companies expose the hair to an aggressive
acid treatment to strip the cuticle layer. This chemical treatment destroys the
cuticle layer, leaving the hair opaque and fragile. The hair is then colored
and covered with a silicone layer which gives it a simulated healthy look. But
as many of you are aware, this protection has a short life. In the beginning
the hair seems shiny and beautiful, but after a few washes the silicone layer
starts to wash away and the color fades leaving the hair with a dull matt
appearance
Because
of these reason we never use Chinese hair and instead only use the finest
quality Indian Remy Cuticle hair in the production of our hair systems with no
fillers.
2)
Indian hair
We
utilize the finest quality Indian hair in our hair replacement systems. The
texture is very smooth and soft. Genetically, Indian hair is very similar to
Caucasian hair in its basic structure.
The
regular Indian hair is collected on mass, where the hair lies disorganized in
all directions. At this stage the cuticle layer is still in place, but unless
the cuticle layers are all facing in the same direction, the hair would tangle
and you would not be able to use it.
In order
to use this hair, it is necessary to submit it to a chemical treatment to strip
the cuticle layer, which prevents it from tangling when used in hair
replacement systems.
Although
this hair is superior in texture when compared to Chinese hair, it still has
the limitation of being exposed to a chemical treatment, which often results in
premature color fading and a limited life span (hair looks dull and matt after
a few months).
Despite
these limitations, the regular Indian human hair is a great entry level option
and represents excellent value for money.
It is
also perfect for those clients who change their hair replacement systems
frequently, switching to a new system before the signs of wear & tear begin
to surface.
You can
extend the life of the hair by using leave-in conditioning treatments that
contain UV protectors, which prevents sun damage and retards color fading.
Also, if
you do experience color loss, the hair can be re-colored, which can also help
to extend the life of the hair.
3) Remy
Hair
Remy
hair is also human hair, but the difference is how it's processed. Remy hair is
cut from the head and tagged "root-to-tip." Throughout the entire
manufacturing process, the hair is carefully kept in order. The true definition
of “Remy” hair simply refers to how the hair is handled and stored. In other
words, it's hair that's kept “root-to-tip.”
With
your own natural, growing hair all the are facing up, in the same
direction, which prevents the tangling and matting problems when the hair is
wet.
With the
traditional manufacturing process, the (outer layer) of the hair is the cause
of tangling and matting problems. When the hair is examined under a microscope
the looks like the bark of a palm tree and when the hair gets wet the shaft
swells and the cuticle opens creating "horny barks."
Through
the normal manufacturing process the hair is blended and ventilated. This
process leaves the hair cuticle going in opposite directions and unless the
cuticle is removed through an acid bath it will tangle and matte when wet.
NOTE:
Remy
hair is not virgin hair. Remy hair does not mean the hair is not processed to
remove the cuticle.
Remy
hair is also Not European hair. Some even think it's the best hair that money
can buy. Unfortunately, this too is untrue. The terms “Remy hair” and “European
hair” are completely separate.
Remy
hair also can refer to Chinese remy hair and Indian remy hair.
4)
Virgin Hair
“Virgin
hair” is completely unprocessed hair with the cuticle still intact. That would
mean that the hair is neither colored nor permed (straight or curly).
We also offer the highest quality Virgin hair. Virgin hair is human hair
in its purest and natural state. It is collected from a single hair donor and
is completely raw with no chemical or texture processing. This makes our virgin
hair 100% natural as it has never been chemically processed in any way. The
only processing performed on this hair is that it has been cleaned and
conditioned. This means that there is no damage to the cuticle layer leaving
the cuticle intact. This is very important as the cuticles function as the
hair's protective shield therefore as virgin hair has its cuticle intact it is
more durable, stronger, healthier looking and reflects a natural shine.
In
addition the cuticles in virgin hair are aligned in the same direction to
prevent tangling. This makes virgin hair easier to maintain as it is smooth and
tangle free.
Our
Virgin hair is only available in its natural color and texture as it is
completely natural and this hair has never been treated or colored. The natural
color is usually very "dark brown" or "off black" shade
(similar to color 1B). The natural virgin hair textures range from straight, to
wavy and curly. Hair that has been colored or processed for texture cannot be
categorized as virgin hair however many retailers/websites falsely describe
their processed hair as virgin hair which is completely untrue and inaccurate.
Our
virgin hair is incredibly durable and can be reused again and again whilst
still maintaining a superior quality. It is also very versatile that you can
color, tint and even perm this hair. This hair can also be blow-dried, flat
ironed straight and curled with curlers.
Once you
try our Virgin Cuticle Hair you will be astonished at how soft and beautiful
your hair looks you will never want anything less. The sheer quality of this
hair makes it the finest human hair on the market. It is soft to touch and
retains its vitality and elasticity. This hair behaves exactly like your own
hair and looks perfectly natural. It can be blow-dried, flat ironed straight
and curled with curlers. So the hair will always look healthy and full of
luster.
