Remy hair extensions in Dallas are something you should require as it determines the quality, and natural appearance of your hair extensions.  Curious about remy hair extensions in Dallas?  Here is a simplified look into what remy and non-remy really means.

 

What is remy hair?

Remy refers to how the hair on the hair extensions is collected.  Remy Hair is hair that has been tied into a pony tail, and cut.  As this hair from the pony tail is made into hair extensions, the hair strands always remain in the same direction as they were when cut from the pony tail.  This is done to keep the extensions hairs cuticles running in the same natural direction as our own hair’s cuticle.

 

Simply put:  all of the extension hair’s cuticles running in the same direction (downward) as our own natural hair is what makes them called remy hair.

 

What is non-remy hair?

 

Non-remy hair is collected from multiple sources with no regard to the natural direction of hair growth.  Therefore, the hairs cuticles are not kept running in the same direction. If left this way the hair would be totally unusable, it could not be used for extensions and hair pieces because it would tangle and matt.

 

The hair has to then be put through a process called an acid bath of which removes the cuticles/cuticle layer of the hair. Once this is done the hair is given a silicone coating to give it a smooth, shiny, and healthy feel.  In time, this silicone layer wears off and the results of the chemical processing become very obvious.  Tangling and matting becomes common, and the hair is inevitably dry and rough to the touch.

 

What is the main difference?

 

Price and quality.  Non-remy hair has much lower quality, and that is reflected in the price.  Remy hair looks much more natural, has a significantly longer “life-span” and the quality is much better than non-remy hair.  So remy hair has a slightly higher price tag, but in my honest opinion is 100% worth it.  Hair extensions are a luxury hair service regardless of which system you end up choosing.  Hair quality is not something that should be disregarded when you are having a luxury hair service done.  After investing in your look and appearance, the last thing you want with hair extensions in Dallas is a constant battle with tangling and matted hair.
