You have wanted to get yourself some good weaves, and you probably have been saving towards it because you know that good weaves cost a bundle. It’s time for you to buy, and you are stuck.
You have heard of Remy weaves, and virgin weaves, and you don’t know if they mean the same thing or if Remy is a brand or what’s not.
The simple fact is both Remy hair, and virgin hair is human hair.
Remy is not a brand of hair as much as it is a grade of hair, and Remy is slightly different from premium virgin hair.
Premium virgin hair
Premium virgin hair is human hair that is sourced from one donor.
Being the most abundant human hair donation country, India holds its place as the primary source of pure premium virgin hair.
Premium virgin hair, apart from being sourced from a donor, is free from any form of alteration. There has been no chemical treatment, no dyeing, no perming or bleaching. The hair is as natural as-is from the donor.
Most importantly, premium virgin hair hasn’t undergone any of these treatments while they were on the donor’s head.
The pure nature of this human hair makes its premium quality, its cuticles are intact, there is no breakage in the strands, and they run in the same direction.
They suffer no tangle or matting, as nothing is done to alter them.
Remy hair
Remy is also a high-quality hair that is gotten from natural donors too.
Unlike their virgin hair counterparts, the donors of Remy hair used to treat their hair with chemicals and may have bleached or dyed their hair, and Remy can be sourced from multiple donors too.
Like virgin hair, the cuticles of Remy hair are left intact, and they also suffer no tangles.
While virgin hair can be called Remy, Remy cannot be called virgin hair because after collection. Remy still has to undergo processing because of the different sources to make all the hair strands blend. While virgin hair is a bundle of hair from one person, Remy is bundles of hair from different persons.
They are both all-natural, but they have different sourcing processes, and they have a slightly different look as Remy seems to have a little more sheen than virgin hair.
Mind you, both of them are the height of human hair, and they will last for a long time.
Due to the processing and sourcing of both hairs, virgin hair costs more than Remy, but they are both quite expensive.
Sourcing for Remy hair is hard; getting pure virgin hair is harder.
In the world of human hair, think of premium virgin hair is Krug vintage champagne, while Remy is a close Charles Heidsieck rose champagne.
Now that you know the difference between Remy and virgin hair, you can go weave shopping.
