Virgin Hair (aka Remy Hair, Cuticle Hair): All hair
types no matter the origin. Usually refers to European hair as Chinese and
Indian hair is rarely sold in their original colors and textures. This is hair
that has not been chemically altered at any time and care must be taken to keep
roots and tips from running in opposite directions.
Advantages:
High Availability and Low Hair Manufacturing Costs. When it is truly virgin hair,
the manufacture has very little preparation to perform before selling it. The
lack of chemical processing leaves the hair in a healthy and natural state
resulting in a longer life for the finished unit.
Disadvantages: Low Availability and High Cost. The dwindling
availability of good virgin European hair, especially in lengths longer than
15” has made it an expensive commodity. There is still quite a bit of hair to
find, but most of it is very old hair that has a musty odor and tangles very
easily. Unfortunately, most Russian exporters are selling this type of hair.
Common Use:
High priced custom wigs, hairpieces and hand made hair extensions.
Processed Hair (aka Non-Cuticle Hair, Non-Remy Hair): All hair types can be chemically processed (cuticles, color, texture). Usually the term processed refers to non-cuticle hair and its most common form is non-remy hair. If handled well by the hair manufacturer, processed hair can retain much of its original quality properties.
Advantages: Variety. The hair manufacturer is able to chemically alter the cuticles, color and texture of the hair to simulate European grade hair and offer multiple color and textures to the customer.
