Honey Blonde hair extensions
Following in the steps of celebrity actresses, models and
media personalities, ever increasing numbers of women are discovering the
benefits of Remy hair extensions and Remy weaves over other grades of human and
synthetic hair. As with other popular new products and services, the
international market is now flooded with many brands of hair extensions and
hair weave options. For those considering buying Remy hair extensions and Remy
hair weaves for the first time, below is a list of considerations before
purchasing your Remy hair.
Remy hair is superior to synthetic hair and other types of
human hair extensions for 5 reasons: Natural lustre and shine, softness,
strength and longevity. Remy hair's superiority is due to the fact that the
hair shaft is cuticle aligned i.e. All the hair is laying in the same
direction. Cuticle aligned hair reflects light in a particular way, is easier
to maintain and style and is prone to less tangling and matting.
2 Ensure your own hair is in good condition
It has been well documented that the continuous use of hair
extensions can cause damage to your own hair, scalp and hair follicles. It is
vitally important that you ensure that your hair and scalp are in good
condition before proceeding to choose to add Remy hair extensions, weaves, pre-bonded
tips or clip-ins. If you are using the sew-in method of attachment then ensure
that your own hair is healthy strong and more than 2" in length. Ensure
that in any one 6 month period that you give your own hair and scalp a rest by
removing all sew in weaves for at least a 2 week period. If your choice of
attachment is bonding then ensure that your hair is not thinning and is more
than 3" in length before proceeding to have them attached. As with sew-in
weaves, if you are considering using pre-bonded tips for an extended amount of
time, you should also consider giving your own hair a rest periodically.
3. Choose a length that is right for you
Regardless of celebrity fashions or what hair style gurus or
the latest style magazines are stating, the best way to choose a length that is
right for you is to take a long hard look at yourself and decipher exactly what
style works best for your height, body type and face shape.
4. Choose a style wisely
As above, choosing your style is a very personal matter and
one that should involve taking an audit of your lifestyle, your tastes,
aspirations and profession. While fashion is ever-changing the best form of
style is one that is unique and individual. Again, when choosing a style to
adopt take account of your height, body-type, face shape, skin colouring and
eye-colouring.
5. Know your Remy qualities
It takes care and practice to tell one true Remy extension
product from a 'human-hair' product masquerading as Remy extensions. But with a
little practice and a few guidelines you will be able to avoid falling foul of
charlatan distributors.
Firstly, Remy hair is very soft to the touch, it feels fluid
and runs through your fingers like water. It has a high lustre and shine but
does not look waxy (a typical tell tale sign of synthetic hair).
Secondly, Remy hair falls into 2 main categories: Virgin
(non-coloured and non-processed) Remy and Non-Virgin (coloured and/or
processed) Remy hair.
Depending on the donor of the hair, Virgin Remy extensions
can be straight, wavy or curly. Virgin Remy hair extensions are now supplied
from all over the world including Europe, China, Malaysia and Brazil but the
vast majority of Virgin Remy hair is sourced from India. Depending on where the
hair is sourced you will find that the hair has differing characteristics due
to ethnic differences of each region.
Non-Virgin Remy Extensions
Non-Virgin Remy Hair can be either simply coloured or it can
also be processed to include an array of different wavy or curly textures
including the Yaki texture, Body Wave texture, Deep Wave texture etc.
Hair Ratio
Another key to ensuring value for money is understanding
what hair ratio you are purchasing. Remy extensions can be single drawn - where
the hair is of varying lengths, or double drawn - where all the hair is more or
less the same length. With double drawn hair the effect is hair that has
increased body and looks fuller. However, it is worth noting that if your final
hair style is a feathered or layered look, purchasing a single drawn Remy Hair
may be appropriate and cost effective.
6. Choosing your supplier wisely
With the explosion in demand for Remy hair extensions there
has also been an explosion in suppliers claiming they are supplying authentic
Remy hair. As Remy hair extension are top of the range hair extensions
(demanding top of the range prices) then you should ensure you become familiar
with how Remy extensions look, feel to the touch and reacts when you brush it.
If it is Virgin Remy that is your choice of hair extension then you should be
aware of how scarcity might affect the price. For example, if you want a
20" copper/red spiral curl or 24" honey blonde deep wave curl these
types of Remy will be supplied from either Brazil or Europe and will therefore
be more expensive than the more widely available 16" dark brown straight
Virgin Remy supplied from India, China or Malaysia. In short, educate yourself
about the various types of Remy and their availability, scarcity and subsequent
price points.
