Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Remy hair is real human hair collected from a donor with virgin hair. Once collected, the hair goes through careful processing and lightening over long periods of time to gently lift and colour the hair without compromising the cuticle alignment. To be true Remy hair the strands should be all traveling in the same direction with the hair being collected directly from the root of the donor.
-
Most hair comes from China. The words Russian or Mongolian used to describe extensions is just a way of grading the hair quality. No hair could be sourced from Russia and be sold at the price of typical Remy hair extensions.
-
With intact cuticles, Remy human hair is soft, and tangle-free. The natural texture is straight and smooth making it easy to blend with your own hair.
-
Simply looking at pricing can help you gauge if you’re buying real Remy human hair extensions . What may seem like a bargain may actually end up costing you more in the long run and you’ll end up having to replace them after a couple of uses.
-
With correct aftercare your extensions should last you a minimum of 12 months. Several customers have reported 18 months of wear and no shedding occurred. The length will get gradually shorter throughout the time worn as we recommend a trim every 2/3 months to keep the ends healthy. You can learn more about how to care for your extensions on our aftercare page.
