Cuticle Remi/Remy Hair and Care Products

Cuticle Remi/Remy Hair and Care Products


Characteristics of Remi/Remy Hair
1. Remi Hair’s Cuticle is alive
2. Remi Hair’s Cuticle is aligned to face the same direction
3. Remi Hair is made from healthy hair, allowing it to be reused after washing

Remi Hair comes in two different texture
- Medium Texture Remi Hair is similar to that of Asian hair, resistant and straight. - Fine Texture Remi Hair is similar to that of Caucasian hair, thin yet high in density and more on the wavy, curly side.

Like I have mentioned above, the main feature of Remi Hair lies in its Cuticle, so what is the hair cuticle?

The hair cuticle is the outermost part of the hair shaft. It is a hard shingle-like layer of overlapping cells, from five to fifteen layers deep. The scales formed give the hair shaft added strength to provide protection and defense against all forms of damage and cuticles have a strong affinity with oil and are extremely resistant as well.

Cuticles make up about 10 to 15% of the entire hair and much of the strength and shine of hair is due to the healthiness of the cuticle, therefore, hair's level of damage can be determined by the level of porosity in the cuticle.

In the hair industry, the statement "cuticle is alive" is in reference to the healthiness of the hair and the key point is to have cuticles facing the same direction in order to closely resemble natural hair. As previously mentioned, Chinese Remi Hair tends to be thick, strong, and straight while Indian Remi Hair is thin, resistant, and usually wavy or curly.

Therefore, Chinese Remi Hair's Curly Pattern is through processing and Indian Remi Hair's Straight Style is due to processing as well but with heat and both types of hair still possesses the highest quality, which is why Remi Hair is commonly known as Special Hair.

Cuticle also acts as a protective barrier for the softer inner structure Cortex, located between the hair cuticle and the medulla and the cortex makes up about 80 to 90% of the entire hair. The color of a person's hair depends on what type of melanin is also found in the cortex and hair's elasticity is also determined by the cortex. Since Color, Perm, Thermal Iron Styling, as well as Wet Set chemical processes all take place within the cortex it is considered as the determining factor behind an individual's hair texture.

That is why cortex's healthiness is extremely important and while cortex determines the final result of a chemical process, cuticle is the initial protective barrier, equally as important.

In a nutshell, we have gone over the overall characteristics of Remi Hair and the structures, functions, and the importance of the Cuticle and the Cortex. Now we will turn our attention to why it is important to use Special Hair Care Products and the reason is simple - because the hair's condition is different. Remi Hair is not coarse like the typical Extension products that are sold, and that is why the average hair care products are not sufficient to provide the right for Remi Hair

Usually, hair care products targeted towards the Ethnic are developed to treat coarse texture hair and have a tendency to weigh down the hair with access oils and even in some cases, strip the hair away of its natural moisturizing agents. Then what about the hair care products geared towards the Caucasian market?

In a sense, Caucasian hair care products are better suited for Remi Hair than Ethnic products because extension hair is usually made from Asian or Caucasian hair. Therefore, Caucasian hair care products provide the necessary nutrients to the hair but since most hair products have been chemically processed either through coloring or straightened and curled, it is not Virgin hair anymore; therefore, they require additional protective, nourishing and moisturizing agents.

When choosing a Hair Care Product for the extension hair, it is important to take all the following points into consideration: the quality, texture, and natural pattern of the hair as well as protecting it from heat styling, making it manageable on a daily basis, providing it with essential nourishments, etc.



8 important points when choosing the good Remi Hair care product
1. Versatility: exceptional result on all kinds of hair
2. Moisturizing: treatment for itchy scalp & dry hair
3. Non-sticky formula: no messy residue or buildup
4. Brilliant shine: enhance color & healthiness of hair
5. PH balanced: stabilize the hair back to original state
6. Essential nutrients: protect & guard while revitalizing
7. Static protection: prevent split ends and tangling of hair
8. No-Tangle formula: increase manageability and comfort

Simply put, Remi Hair care products are perfectly formulated to satisfy African American, Caucasian, and even Asian hair and should be recommended to trend seeking customers who are looking for a product that will not weigh their hair down, add a healthy bounce, and provide a natural look.

Cuticle Hair, Remy Hair, Human Hair or Synthetic Hair?


Hair Type - What is Cuticle Hair, Remy Hair, Human Hair or Synthetic Hair?

There are many sources that account for the availability of hair for cosmetic and prosthesis purposes. All human hair is not created equally. French Refined hair and European Natural (or any variation of that theme) is considered to be from a Caucasian source. Most human hair is Asian because that is where most human hair is processed due to the fact that many Asians grow their hair as a crop to be harvested for the market. About 10 percent of the hair comes from India because of an ancient custom of growing the hair to waist length, then cutting and shaving the head clean and discarding the hair in a huge pile where it is gathered and sold to purveyors and processors of the growing hair market demand. Most of this hair is sold to China because that country cannot meet the demand for domestically grown hair.

FRENCH, EUROPEAN AND ITALIAN HAIR

It is considered to be the best grade because it is not as course as Asian and India hair, and therefore is easier to process and maintain. It is also the most expensive because it is harder to come by because this hair is not grown as a crop or for cultural reasons. Much of this hair is obtained after the death of its source. This hair is primarily of Caucasian grade. 

CUTICLE HAIR

It is another popular and more expensive type of hair. Cuticle hair is hair that has been carefully scrutinized to insure that every strand is turned the same way. Explanation: Human hair has scales reminiscent of scales on a fish. (Hence the term cuticle scales) The scales lay. close against the hair shaft and grow upwards away from the scalp. Cuticle scales are made up of the same substances as finger nails (Keratin Protein) but are much thinner. When hair is "back combed" meaning combed from ends to scalp, the cuticle is lifted and many of them are striped away, the rest are forced away from the shaft causing the Id& to tangle and mat. That's because the cuticles are interlocking with the cuticles on the neighboring hair. Cuticle hair is regular ordinary hair that has been scrutinized to insure that the cuticles are in the same direction on each strand. This procedure prevents tangles, snarls and matting when combed, brushed and styled. Throughout this article you may see the word 'processing", this generally means that the hair has been chemically treated to eliminate much of the cuticle structure and. to force the remaining cuticles to all face the same way in order to prevent tangling and matting during shipping and grooming. This is the main reason why you do not use hot water when cleaning commercial human hair. Hot water will cause the cuticle to lift and swell resulting in uncontrollable matting of the hair. Matting is caused by the cuticle scales interlocking.


SYNTHETIC HAIR

This is not hair at all; it is for the most part man-made hair from nylon and polyester fibers. This is why most such hair is identified by some variation of the word "nylon." This hair type is a much lesser quality than any form of human hair because it is less versatile to style and has a shinny plastic like appearance. It also cost a lot less.

YAK HAIR

A yak is an animal native to Thailand; it is a member of the goat family Its hair is long, usually touching the ground. Yak hair most resembles human hair and grows long enough to be harvested. The tail of the yak is most desirable for commercial use because it is longer and more manageable. The yak was originally used as a beast of burden because of its sure footing in rough terrain and ability to carry heavy loads. But now it is mostly raised for its hair.

VIRGIN HAIR

This is human and sometimes animal hair that has not been chemically treated.

YAKY, YAKI or YAKIE HAIR

This grade of hair is described as a type that most closely resembles natural Afro hair that has been relaxed. It is also known by such names as Afro Yaky, Perm Yaki, Curly or Geri Curl Yaky, etc. This is low grade human or animal hair that has been specially and chemically processed then flat ironed to take on the appearance of Afro hair that has been successfully relaxed and/ or curly permed.



REMY HAIR

This is a high quality human hair that is usually silky straight and smooth. Most hair for weaving, extensions and wigs is chemically treated in order to remove some of the cuticles so that the hair will not mat or tangle during shipping and use. Remi hair is considered to be Virgin hair because it is not processed with chemicals, so the hair texture is unaltered. This hair also has the same quality as Cuticle hair as described earlier in this article. 


INDIAN HAIR 

The name describes the source of this hair that is obtained as a result of a religious ceremony called Tonsure, whereby the hair is shaved from the head to atone for female vanity. The quality of this hair is exceptional because it contains all the refinements of Cuticle, Virgin and Remy hair.

Remy Hair / Remi Hair

Remy or Remi Human Hair

Remy Human Hair (sometime it is called as Remi Human Hair) means the highest grade of real human hair that is a preferred choice for hair weaves, lace front wigs, wigs, extensions and hairpieces because it achieves the most natural look.

What is Remy Human Hair?

Most human hair in the hair extensions industry undergoes a cuticle-stripping process called an acid-bath. Because it can’t make sure that the cuticles of hair from a specific donor remain aligned in the same direction. The different cuticle direction tangle easily. Then, a silicone is placed over the cuticles to give the hair a faux shine and smooth appearance. This silicone wears off when the hair is washed, therefore, the cuticles are disturbed and return back to their unruly state, causing the hair to mat and tangle easily.

However, Remy hair is hair that has been collected by a hair donor. The cuticles are not stripped and remain aligned in one direction. Generally, it known that synthetic hair don’t have cuticle. You can easily compare it with human hair in the above picture. Remy hair does not mat or tangle because all the cuticles are aligned and intact without the use of silicone. These manual processes increase the price of Remy human hair. But the key benefit is that extensions of Remy hair can be worn longer than extensions made with hair that has undergone traditional processing without the need to take extra care of damaged, chemically processed hair.

How to Select Remy Hair

In recent, many companies have released too many Remy hair weaves, lace front wigs and wigs. Each company emphasizes the merit on their products. Actually, I feel the Remy hair quality be much better than the past. Most import thing you choose Remy hair, please don’t select bulk Remy hair that don’t have brand. Because uneven process or no process can cause transmit unwanted disease or get lice from dirty hair. Many big companies have their specific process and keep their even quality.

How to Care Remy/Remi Hair


How to Care Remy/Remi Hair

First of all, you should always be careful about that your Remy hair is finely cleaned. Wash it twice or three times weekly with a gentle Shampoo which should be essentially natural. Keep in mind to wash the Remy hair with cold water since hot water can impair the cuticle layer. Cover of cuticle is vital element of Remy hair and it is owing to this coating, that the hair appears lustrous and lovely. Cold water advantageous also in preserving the shape of your hair.

At the time of washing
 with water, be cautious of washing off all the shampoo from the hair. It is every time best to wash again after you consider that they are thoroughly rinsed.

Conditioning

Following washing you have to condition your Remy hair just like you condition your natural hair. For this purpose too you preferably utilize a conditioner 
containing natural ingredients. Apply the conditioner over all fibers of hair. Keep in mind not to keep the conditioner over the hair for more than 10 minutes. Further wash out the conditioner totally again ascertaining about thorough washing.

Deep conditioning

After the cleaning and conditioning processes, you have to now perform deep conditioning of the hair. For this purpose, use coconut milk to it. It has 
stocks of proteins and so protects your Remy hair from turning moisture-less or limp and from getting damaged. You need to do this deep conditioning schedule once in seven days at least.

Products to Give Appearance

Once the hair is dry, you can use plenty of products on it. If you want to give a curl to your Remy hair you can use gels, however you should not keep the gel in hair for a long duration. One more vital product that should be utilized is oil. Olive oil is the excellent for Remy hair because it protects the hair from getting damaged. You have to spread the oil on the hair so as to keep their structure and longevity.

Routine Procedures

To prevent your Remy extensions from messing up and entwining, comb them each morning. At the time of combing, begin from the root and take the comb to the tip. You are at liberty to wrap your Remy hair or keep them open at bedtime. Just keep in mind not to lie down when the hair is wet, otherwise it will attach together when you wake up in the morning.

Remy Human Hair 101

Remy Hair Care and Style 101

Virgin Remy Human Hair is one of the highest quality and preferred choice of hair in the industry, due to the fact that it achieves a natural look. It is considered the most quality hair because the cuticles are kept intact and not stripped unlike some non-Remy hair. This prevents any tangles or shedding and also produces a natural, soft and silky look. There are several types of virgin hair such as Indian, Brazilian, Peruvian, and Malaysian to name a few. Just because the human hair has an exotic name to it, does not mean that the hair actually comes from Brazil or Malaysia for example, but it is considered how it is processed.

Indian hair is the only human hair that actually comes from India, due to the fact that shaving their heads and donating it, is a religious sacrifice. Also, the reason why they call it Virgin Remy hair is because this hair is cleaned and has not gone through any chemical process. Any hair that has been processed is no longer called Virgin; however it is still considered Remy because of the cuticle still being intact in the same direction.

One of the benefits of having Remy Human Hair is that you are able to color, curl, straighten shampoo and overall treat the hair just like your own natural hair. As a consumer you can expect to pay hundreds of dollars for virgin hair. It's almost as if you get what you pay for and if quality hair is what you want, then as a consumer you must be willing to pay the cost. Another benefit of having Remy Human hair is that it last up to 2-3 years, which means you can use the same hair multiples times, as long as the hair is taken care of properly. The proper way to care for your Remy Human Hair is to use a sulfate free shampoo or a cleansing shampoo, next you can need to use a light conditioner or use a leave-in conditioner. Also, you want to make sure that you NEVER blow-dry your human hair, always let your hair air dry to ensure that the cuticles remain intact.

Last, if you want to color your human hair, always use a demi-permanent or permanent color if you want to go darker and use lightener with 20 volume developer to go lighter. Following these steps will ensure to keep the integrity of your Remy Human Hair.
