How Are Remy Hair Extensions Manufactured?
Wigs and hair extensions have a long history, but in the last couple of decades, they've become more popular than ever before. They've become truly mainstream, largely thanks to being worn (and in some cases, endorsed) by actresses, models and other celebrities, leading to a greater interest in these beauty products. If you've been considering trying hair extensions yourself, one term that you've probably come across a lot in your research is Remy. You’re probably wondering how Remy hair extensions are manufactured – but before we answer this question, let’s answer another of the most common questions people ask about hair extensions: namely, what does Remy mean?
Remy Hair Extensions:
The selling of human hair for weaves, wigs, and other hair styling products is an industry that generates hundreds of millions of dollars annually and is growing as a large export economy in some Asian regions, such as India, at a rate of 10-30 percent annually. In India, a large portion of the hair is sourced from Hindu temples where hair is donated for religious practices, This hair is highly sought out for its 'virgin', untreated qualities, as well as its great length. From there the hair is cleaned and the color is removed before being re-dyed for Euro-centric style tastes.
Remy is a term used in the beauty industry to denote the highest grade of human hair used for hair extensions, wigs and other hairpieces made with natural, rather than synthetic, hair. Remy hair, by and large, comes from Asia, especially India, although some of this human hair is also sourced from Brazil and Russia.
The defining characteristic of Remy hair is that the cuticles (the outer layer of the hair) are all growing in the same direction, which is to say that it’s healthy, undamaged hair which does not tangle easily and that retains its natural shine for a much longer time than lesser grades of human hair which are used to make hair extensions and other hairpieces. Due to the demographics of the part of the world where most of this hair comes from, it generally goes through some kind of processing before being made into Remy hair extensions and packaged for sale at salons or directly to consumers. The hair may be colored, since Remy hair is usually black or very dark brown in color. It may also be processed to change the texture from straight to wavy or even curly, depending on the style of hair extension which the hair is destined for.
It’s important to note that there is some overlap between Remy hair and what is known as Virgin (or completely unprocessed) hair. Consumers should also be aware that since there are no federal regulations in place regarding the labeling of human hair extensions, many less than reputable manufacturers try to pass of low quality, heavily processed or damaged hair as “Remy” hair extensions. If you’re interested in buying Remy hair extensions, it’s a good idea to do some research ahead of time to make sure that what you’re getting is genuinely what you expect in terms of quality, since there are a lot of imitations out there.
Process Of Manufacturing Remy Hair Extensions:
After being collected and processed, if necessary, the rest of the process of manufacturing Remy hair extensions is relatively straight forward. The hair is cut and shaped to the desired length and style, then woven together at the base to provide a single piece which may be worn rather than many individual strands of Remy hair.
Once the piece is completed, it is packaged and sold. Some brands of Remy hair extensions are sold only to licensed beauticians, while others are available to the public from online retailers as well as from brick and mortar stores.
