virgin hair versus Remy Hair

We realise that understanding the different terms that are used to try and explain hair quality is complicated and we want to try and simplify things for our amazing clients so that you can better understand exactly what hair quality you are buying.

As you now know, virgin hair is the best hair choice in terms of quality. Then comes Remy hair. But how do you tell them all apart? This section will help you with that.

Virgin Hair vs. Remy Hair

Virgin Hair and Remy Hair are all 100% human hair, but they are far from the same.Now, to make the differences between virgin hair and Remy hair apparent, here’s a direct comparison of the two:

·    Cost  Virgin > Remy

Virgin hair is much more expensive than Remy hair because it is undamaged and healthy. And vendors take that fact into consideration when setting virgin hair prices. Remy hair, on the other hand, is much more affordable because it has been altered to take on various colors and textures (which damages the hair).

·      Lifespan   Virgin > Remy 

 Virgin hair can last for years because it is minimally processed. Whereas Remy hair has a much shorter lifespan because of the color and texture processing it goes through in some cases.

·         Quality   Virgin > Remy

 Virgin hair has a natural-looking color that’s never jet black. It’s more of a natural black or brown. There may be a gray hair or two in the mix. Virgin hair is also thicker than Remy hair, but this might not be obvious to the naked eye. Virgin hair will also be soft and smooth to the touch and feel 100% natural. After all, it is the most natural that human hair can get; Remy hair looks perfectly smooth and shiny. But a telltale sign that it is not virgin hair is that it may be available in jet black shades and other dyed colors. Otherwise, the hair will still look full and luxurious, from roots to tips.

·   Styling  Virgin > Remy

If you want to be able to style your hair freely as if it were your own hair, then you need virgin hair. You can dye it platinum blonde, curl it whenever you want, or even perm or relax it. Your options are a bit limited with Remy hair - you can color it and bleach it (to a medium blonde), but other forms of chemical processing are not recommended.
