Choose Remy Lace Wigs

You may have seen other sites for lace wigs that all talk about Remy lace wigs with banners that scream; “100% Remy”, “100 Indian Remy” or “100% Chinese Remy” but very few actually explain what Remy hair is, why you should choose it and what the difference is between Remy and Non-Remy human hair.

The type of human hair used in your wig will determine its quality and lifespan.

You’ve probably figured out that Remy only relates to human hair, so if you’re into synthetic hair, you should still read on to know for yourself what all the noise is about.

So let’s get to it, when talking about full lace wigs, lace frontals or lace front wigs, what does Remy hair actually mean?

To answer that question, a few points have to be made about hair. Hair grows out of your head and down is straight, although it’s more vertical and horizontal if you’ve got afro hair!

However the thing to note is that each single strand of hair points in the same direction – your roots are on your head and your tips are at the ends.

The layer of hair we all see in healthy hair is called the cuticle.

This cuticle layer looks smooth to the naked eye but is in fact more reminiscent of a scaly fish.

When examined under a microscope individual hair strands resemble a tiled roof or for our friends across the water, shingles.

So what do we have? Scaly strands of hair that all point in the same direction (roots one end, tips the other).

So what does that mean? The hair doesn’t tend to tangle.

Whoa… Wait a minute…! If Remy hair does't tangle because all the strands of hair point in the same direction (roots one end tips the other)…

What does Non Remy Hair do?

Answer:

Tangles. Mats together. Doesn’t last long.

And that folks is the difference with Remy Hair and Non Remy hair…

To recap Remy Hair – all strands point in the same direction – therefore doesn’t tangle

Non Remy – strands point up and down – therefore non Remy hair does tangle.

Further more, because you brush or comb your hair in a downwards direction, all the hairs that are upside down in non Remy lace wigs will loose their cuticles as though you’re scaling a fish and this leads to the hair looking duller, getting split ends and breaking.

In essence this means that Remy lace wigs will last longer than non Remy lace wigs – up to 2 years with proper care.

Which is why hear at Peruke, we’ll only work with 100% Remy Hair for all our lace wig products.

Now you’re in the know!
