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.

6 WAYS TO INCREASE / STIMULATE HAIR GROWTH

6 WAYS TO INCREASE / STIMULATE HAIR GROWTH

Drink green tea

Experts who believe in the hair health benefits of green tea point to the fact that certain compounds found in green tea cause the relaxation of blood vessels, helping overall cardiovascular activity through increased circulation. Of course increased circulation will naturally help nourish hair roots and scalp tissues.

Make sure you have a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Fruit and vegetables contain important antioxidants which can help protect the hair and promote faster hair growth.

Eat foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.

Omega 3 fatty acids can be found in oily fish or fish oil supplements and have powerful anti-inflammatory properties and so can alleviate any inflammation in the scalp and as they help the blood flow more efficiently they also help to nourish the scalp.Hair is composed of a protein known as Keratin so not surprisingly, a diet lacking in protein can hinder hair health and growth. Many people are still unaware of the importance of getting enough Omega 3 fatty acids in their diet, a lack of which will show up in the health of your hair.

Do not wash excessively your hair.

Excessive washing of the hair, particularly with shampoos containing harsh chemicals can remove the natural oils in the scalp, so it is important to use a good quality shampoo and conditioner and avoid washing the hair every day if you can.

Eating adequate amount of protein prevents your hair from shedding.

Inadequate protein intake over a lengthy period can force hair into the resting phase with shedding a few months later. It is obvious then that sufficient portions of protein rich foods should form part of your daily diet. The best sources of dietary protein are lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, soy, nuts, grains and seeds. At least 15% of your daily calories should come from protein-rich foods.

Eat adequate amounts of useful carbohydrates. 

Carbs are an essential source of energy and help in the growth of body tissues, including hair. They are an important source of the B vitamins that are vital to healthy hair. It is important that you concentrate on consuming non-refined carbs rather than the sugars and white flour that are so prevalent in many over-refined carb products. You should place an emphasis on consuming vegetables, fruits, whole grains, brown rice and potatoes. It is recommended that you obtain 55-60% of your daily calories from the carbohydrates found in these foods. Consider adopting some of the following tips to boost your natural energy, and encourage the growth of new strands that are healthy, shiny and less prone to dryness or breakage.

HAIR CONDITIONERS

UNDERSTANDING HAIR CONDITIONERS

Shampoos and conditioners are staples of just about hair care every product line. They form the foundation for most systems, and just about every woman, regardless of race, ethnicity, hair type or texture uses them. As it relates to consumer purchasing decisions, shampoos are often thought of as having lower involvement. While they are important in the maintenance regimen, many women tend to make repeat purchases of their favorite shampoo, and occasionally, venture out to try something new. 

However, conditioners have greater involvement. There are many more choices, more benefits to consider, varying price points and expectations. With so many possibilities, how can OTC staff recommend what conditioner is right for their customer? To answer this, you must first sort through the different types of conditioners and why they are used. 

The most common Marketing terms used to describe conditioners include: Deep, Leave-In, Rinse-Out, Dual, Reconstructive and Moisturizing. Most conditioners contain ingredients that do not completely rinse out, bonding to the hair to deliver a needed benefit. In their most basic form, the best conditioners alter the hair's texture, leaving it softer and easier to manage. 

Choosing the right type of conditioner depends on the user's current hair type, texture and what they expect from the end result. Relaxed and natural hair both require a good moisture balance, which can be achieved, in part, through regular, deep conditioning after shampooing. Deep conditioners  followed by leave-in conditioning treatments, significantly help. Hair that is subjected to frequent heat styling, as well as styles that pull on the hair (like braiding and twisting), need reconstructive conditioning. This type of manipulation, during styling, causes hair strands to weaken, cuticles to raise and chronic dryness to occur. Moisture has to be put back in the hair, and damaged strands must be repaired. Good reconstructive conditioners offer these benefits. For normal hair textures and types, dual, rinse-out and leave in conditioners help to maintain a healthy moisture balance, soften the hair and help keep it manageable in between shampoos. 

In addition to trying to resolve a problem, women also consider their choice of conditioners based on the ingredients. Finer hair textures may opt for light-weight conditioners that contain more water-based humectants, versus women with thicker, coarser textures, who select conditioners that offer more natural oils. Regardless of hair texture, when conditioners are not used, hair has a rough, dry, stripped feeling. Conditioners are essential for softening and manageability. Some of the most popular ingredients in conditioners, especially for ethnic women, include Olive Oil, Tea-Tree Oil, Avocado Oil, Jojoba Oil, Keratin and Wheat Protein. These ingredients are perceived as having good, healthy benefits, and are natural. 

Women tend to explore a variety of conditioners and will pay more for conditioners than shampoos. This presents a great opportunity for OTC staff to introduce consumers to new or different ones. OTC's should always ask their distributor for manufacturer samples. The most typical samples, readily available, are of conditioners and leave-in maintenance treatments. Engaging a consumer about her hair texture and the results she desires from conditioning, can open the door to further exploration of different products, which can lead to more sales.
