Best Manufacturing Process of Virgin Remy Hair Extensions

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.

Fused Hair Extensions

Fused hair extensions are hair extensions that are fused on to the natural hair using one of two methods, the hot fusion method or the cold fusion method. Fusion hair extensions are performed for aesthetic reasons to add volume and length to the existing hair, and it is important to get the procedure done by a certified and experienced hair stylist. Professional hair extensions can generally last for a period of three to six months, and some amount of maintenance and tightening may be required in this duration.

The hair stylist will first examine your hair and advise regarding which fusion hair extension method will suit you. Depending on the method used, getting hair extensions can be a quick or somewhat tedious procedure. The bonding used in both cases is generally transparent and not obvious.

1.  In the hot fusion method, hot glue is used to fuse the hair extensions to the natural hair strand. The glue is heated to a specific temperature and then applied using a glue gun. This procedure is done section by section, and can take up to 16 hours for completion. It needs to be carried out with utmost care to avoid burning or irritating the scalp.

2.  The cold fusion method is gentler on the hair and the scalp, and works well for fine hair. Instead of hot glue and heat, a keratin-based polymer binder is used to attach on the hair extensions. This results in more natural looking hair. These extensions are generally good for about six months.

Since natural hair will continue to grow at its normal rate, the fused hair extensions will have to be adjusted and tightened accordingly. It is a good idea to ask the hair stylist about these and other maintenance requirements at the time of getting fused hair extensions. It is generally possible to shampoo and style the fused hair extensions like regular hair.

Most hair stylists advice against wearing fused hair extensions for longer than six months as there is chance this may damage the natural hair. It is also important to remove the hair extensions with care. At the time of removal, it may seem as if a lot of the natural hair comes off with the extensions; this hair loss is actually the hair that is shed normally on a daily basis, but which hadn't fallen out as usual due to the presence of the hair extensions. It shouldn't be a matter of worry.

What are the problems with Increased Demand?

The increased demand is causing several unethical bsuiness practices by established players that are meant to keep out new players from entering the business to reduce competition and retain profits. These established players have formed sydicates/cartels and are cheating the temples from getting the full price. When new players show up at the auctions, they bid up the price to shut out the small players from bidding. In some cases the cartel members are using threats and payoffs (combination of carrot and stick approach) to discourage the new entrants.

How is the money used?

The increased demand has meant that the temples fetch a good price in exchange for the hair and these funds are then used to aid the poor. Whilst those donating don't receive monetary payments, the temples auction off the donated hair and make $100-400 per kilo of hair depending upon the quality. A small portion of this income is used for regular upkeep of the temple and pays the wages of the people that work there. The remaining money is invested into the local community, providing food, shelter and medical assistance to those in need.

What are the primary sources of Indian Hair?

Thousands of temples around India are the primary sources of Virin Indian Hair. Tirupati Venkateswara Temple (or the Temple of Seven Hills), is one of the largest and most popular of Hindu temples. Located on the top of Tirumala hills, this temple attracts thousands of worshippers a day from all over the world who queue up from early in the morning to late at night.

Naked Truth About Sourcing of Virgin Remy

Why do Indians give hair to God?

For over 5000 years, Hinduism has been entwined in the rich culture of India. For Hindus, every part of life is a sacrifice, a giving of oneself or 'Jivayajna' for which one receives true spiritual fulfilment. On a daily basis, devout pilgrims travel to temples across India to pay homage to their gods by making an offering to the temple. Worshippers donate objects such as gold trinkets, personal possessions or their hair, a symbolic offering to show their devotion to the deity. This ritual shaving of one's hair is known as tonsuring.

In the past, tonsuring was a symbol of repentance, a devotee would ask for forgiveness and their shaved head was a sign of starting a new life. Today, pilgrims make an oath with god and should their prayers be answered, they shave their heads as a precious sacrifice and sign of gratitude and faith.
