We have an article on the difference between Remy and virgin hair (insert link).
Here we will see the difference between Remy hair and human hair.
Remy hair
Remy is a high quality hair that is sourced from natural donors, the donors of Remy hair used to treat their hair with chemicals and may have bleached or dyed their hair . Remy is sourced from multiple donors and their cuticles of are left intact . This makes it easy to carry Remy as it will not tangle easily. While some Remy hair can be called human hair, not all human hair cannot be called Remy hair.
After collection, Remy still undergoes some processing because of the different sources. This is to make the strands have some semblance of blending. The tips of Remy hair are the same and the strands run on the same direction. They are not readily available and cost quite a bundle, second only to virgin hair. Remy is so textured and layered that it blends into the natural hair very well.
Human hair
Human hair is natural human hair also and has not been mixed with synthetic hair so it is not a blend. Human hair is not directly sourced from donors, they are hairs that have been gathered from all over the place. They are gathered from combs, brushes and hairs that has fallen off. These hairs are so different that they run in different directions. To make the hair strands blend, the cuticles are removed and sometimes harsh chemicals are used, this reduces the quality and look of the hair. To give the hair a fine look, these human hairs are coated in silicone which wear off after a while. Human hair tangles quickly and do not last as long as Remy hair.
