Remy Hair and Your Hair Replacement: What are the Facts?

 

Remy Hair (also sometimes referred to as Remi hair) is one of the biggest buzz words in the hair industry today. You’ve probably seen all kinds of hair replacement companies big and small touting their Remy hair pieces. Some hair replacement vendors may have even talked you up about the benefits of Remy hair, but have you ever wondered exactly what it really is?  While there are several definitions flying around there is only one that remains constant, is simply and probably the truth.

 

Remy hair is human hair that is used in the production of hair pieces, wigs, hair extensions and a variety of hair goods products besides these.  The term Remy Hair is used on almost every hair goods product that is coming out of China, the biggest producer of hair goods in the world and rightfully so.  Simply speaking Remy Hair is human hair that is ventilated, tied or sewn with the cuticle of the hair all going in the same direction.  The cuticle is the outer layer of the hair shaft and it is naturally a rough almost scaly surface.  In production of human hair for hair goods the cuticle is usually smoothed, coated or compressed to make it smooth so the scales cannot catch on each other causing the hair to tangle and mat.  While this process works well the cuticle is still there and overtime it is possible for the cuticle to swell and open up making the hair venerable to tangling.  To help to assure the least amount of tangling the producers of hair goods make all efforts to keep the hair cuticles going in the same direction to minimize the chances of tangling and matting allowing the hair wearer to maintain the hair system with little problems and keeping the hair looking natural with good movement.

 

So in a nutshell, Remy hair is actually quite common throughout the hair replacement industry. In most cases even when a hair replacement doesn’t advertise their hair as Remy, it probably is anyway. The thing to remember is there isn’t anything particularly special about Remy hair – it’s the industry standard. So be wary and stay away from companies who concentrate on touting the great benefits of Remy hair or who try to up sell you on expensive Remy products. The fact is, Remy hair is not expensive to produce, and generally reputable suppliers will always offer this product. If you’re searching for a new hair replacement company, don’t worry so much about finding a company that advertises their hair as Remy, instead concentrate on more important factors like overall quality and reputation of the vendor themselves. Don’t be fooled by the oldest tricks and buzzwords in the hair replacement playbook. Do your homework and spend the time to find a hair replacement supplier that will truly work for you!

 

Hair Systems for Women â?? Knowing the Facts

January 26th, 2010 ClipHairExtensionsPro No comments

 

Hair loss does not discriminate in any way.  Men, Women and Children all loose their hair in different ways.  Usually when we think of hair systems we think of the toupee for the man and a wig for a woman but this is far from the reality.

 

Many women today are experiencing hair loss for many reasons.  For some it is caused by hormonal changes, for others it is genetic but generally speaking a womanâ??s hair loss will be diffused meaning there is an overall thinning of the hair or they will experience hair loss on the top of the head somewhat like a man.  For women with hair loss there are as many options if not more than there are for men.  Women will often have hair systems designed using the same materials as used for a menâ??s system.  The main difference is usually on the shape of the base design.  Women will usually not have a pronounced recession in the front and their systems are usually in an oval or round shape.  Most women reject the idea of having their head shaved for attachment purposes and will opt for clips or tape for their attachment giving them the option to remove the system when they choose.  Another great option for women is the use of integration systems.  Integrations allow the existing hair to be pulled through the base and integrated with the hair in the system.  These systems can be made of materials that have openings as small as a quarter of an inch and go up from there.  The reason for the wide variety of opening sizes is to accommodate for any existing hair the wearer might have on their head.  Or you may find systems designed with a combination of materials and integration opening sizes based on the hair loss pattern.  For example: if the lady has very thin hair on the top but good strong hair and density on the side the option can be anything from a solid top base material with integration openings on the sides and back to a top with very small openings to integrate and larger openings on the sides and back.  For ladies with overall diffused hair loss a great option is a three quarter cap integration.  These systems are very soft, they fit on the head like a cap leaving about one inch of their hair line uncovered.  The cap is made up of cabled threads that have hair tied to them and the existing hair is pulled through the openings allowing all the hair to be integrated.  These systems can be secured by using clips, hair pins, and fusion points and in some cases the existing hair pulled through is enough to securely hold the cap on the head.

 

Any woman who is experiencing hair loss whether temporary or permanent can have the same option of regaining their hair by the use of hair systems with a variety of ready made systems as well as custom designed systems.
