The Difference Between Remy Hair and Virgin Hair

 

























Brazilian hair is known to be one of the most popular makes of pure and natural hair extensions in the world. 100% virgin unprocessed Brazilian hair blends amazingly well with just about every hair type, being naturally compatible with both African-American and Caucasian hair. It lasts a very long time with proper care and nourishment and is one of the most cost effective types of real hair extensions. 

A question that is often asked by prospective purchasers of 100% unprocessed Brazilian hair is “What is the difference between Virgin hair and Remy hair?”

Weaves, Wigs and Clip-Ins — Making An Informed Purchase

For those of us who’ve made the decision that hair extensions are right for us, the next choice to make is between the various forms of hair extension technology: the wig, the weave, or the clip-in hair extension.  As with everything, each style has its advantages and drawbacks; and depending on your lifestyle and needs, one will almost definitely be a better fit (no pun intended) than the other two.

With the extensive and diverse number of hair extension styles offered today, it can be a little confusing to decide between them.  Again, the question: should I choose a wig?  A weave? Or maybe clip-ins?  It’s not an easy choice, especially if you’re new to the product.  This post will help you to evaluate the pros and cons of the various types of hair extensions to make a well-informed purchase. 

First of all, there are two essential types of hair extensions – synthetic and human / virgin hair.  Synthetic hair is cheaper and lower quality, it won’t last as long and wont look as good; but if you need a quick fix, this option might be for you.  Human virgin hair is high-quality, a little more expensive, and if properly taken care of, can last a full year of use.  (It’s also beautiful and richly textured – there’s no substitution for the real thing!)

Winter Care and Maintenance for High-End Hair Extensions

Winter is, without a doubt, the worst season for your hair.  With arctic winds, sub-zero temperatures, blasts of dry air and being constantly crushed under a hat, your luscious locks, like it or not, will take a heavy beating. There are, thankfully, a number of restoration techniques that can be tremendously helpful to keep your hair extensions healthy and gorgeous, and we've gathered a few of them here.  Enjoy!

Normal or Oily Hair:

If your hair is not thick, thin, or excessively dry, for the winter months you'll want rich, nutritional moisturizers such as avocado, glycerin or shea butter.  Before applying, cleanse your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any product residue. Next, coat gratuitously with moisturizer and allow to set for 15 minutes, then rinse.  This regular moisturizing is a crucial element of winter hair care, so feel free to repeat every 2-3 days.

Thin or Fine Hair:

To accommodate the delicate strands of your fine hair, you will want to procure a specialized deep conditioner -- products labeled "oil-free," "grease-free," or voluminizing are all good choices.

High Quality Hair Extensions Are A Guaranteed Investment

With the economy the way it is, most of us have become more conscious of our spending habits—comparing prices, shopping around — buying as little as necessary and as cheaply as possible. And being frugal is all fine and well when you're at the grocery store or buying a new piece of technology; but when shopping for your image, to look beautiful — “an investment in self-esteem” — one should never be stingy.
Of course, there are some beauty products you can purchase cost effectively and no one will know the difference. But when it comes to your hair, no expense should be spared. It’s one of the principles of a strong first impression — first, the face, and second, the hair.
If your hair is out of sorts, it’s awfully hard to exude the shoulders-back confidence that a full, lush head of hair affords you. Take your favorite glam celebrity, for instance, many of them are sporting the latest in high-end lace wigs or natural hair extensions — and you’d never know! You didn’t think she was born with that, did you? A well concealed secret.

Would you like to have lustrous hair that will be the envy of women everywhere?

When shopping for hair extensions, stay away from cheap synthetic hair. It wears thin within a few weeks; and you can't wash it out or use styling products without the fibers becoming stiff, stringy and rough to a gentle touch.
Always, always choose 100% human hair. It will cost a little more, but if you buy the best quality and treat it properly, it will stay lush and divine for as long as a year.
