What is Virgin Hair?
Virgin hair simply means that the hair is completely natural and unprocessed without any chemicals (such as chemical perms, relaxing agents, or coloring dyes). Since the hair is completely natural, there has been no damage to the cuticles or the true structure of the hair (including its color and texture). The hair's cuticle layer actually protects the hair, and provides a natural luster as hair naturally appears growing from the scalp. Keeping the hair cuticles aligned and running in the same direction help to prevent tangling and matting. This is very important when it comes to hair extensions, because you want a quality install that will last you as long as possible. Each bundle of Virgin Indian Hair is coming directly from one persons head, this ensures that varying cuticles and textures are not being mixed with other types of hair. This is also known as, Single Drawn hair. Being that all of our Virgin Indian Hair bundles are single drawn, you will see the natural gradations in length as if it is growing from your own scalp giving it a much more natural look. The ends will have a natural tapered look, as opposed to a blunt cut. Virgin hair is considered the best quality of hair, which is known to last for 1-2 years with proper care and installation. Virgin Hair also offers the most versatility when it comes to coloring and styling.
Most hair that you find in beauty supply stores is not 100% Virgin hair, or Single Drawn for that matter. It may look perfect in the package, but when you start using it only lasts a couple of months at best. They enhance the hair by over processing with chemicals, or collecting strands/clippings from multiple donors and processing it all to appear the same texture. During this process it actually rips the hair’s cuticle from each strand causing permanent damage, which greatly reduces the longevity of the hair. All of our Virgin Indian hair is not treated with any chemicals or processing, making it true Virgin Indian hair. Many of our customers keep coming back to us because our hair has a lifespan of up to 1-2 years with proper care. Your Virgin Indian Hair is considered to be an investment, and the better you properly treat and maintain the hair, you will then reap all of the benefits of pure organic Virgin Indian Hair.
What is Remy hair?
Remy Hair is 100% Human Hair which cuticle remains intact and aligned in the same direction from root to end. Keep in mind, Remy does not always mean Virgin. Most Remy Hair has gone through some sort of processing in some way, whether to achieve its texture and/or color you see. This is considered to be one of the highest grades of hair other than Virgin Indian Hair. Some companies process their hair differently than others. This difference in processing will greatly affect the longevity of the hairs lifespan. Our Remy Indian Hair will last up to 1-2 years with proper care and maintenance. Our Remy Indian Hair just like our Virgin Indian hair is single drawn, meaning one bundle is coming directly from one sources head, ensuring the cuticles are all running in the same direction.
What is Non-Remy Hair?
Non-Remy or other hair types are made from hair collected from the floor of temples, salons and door-to-door brush hair collection. Due to these types of collection methods, cuticle directions are always mixed up, causing inevitable tangling problems. To minimize tangling problems, many vendors treat the hair with special chemicals to strip off the cuticles completely and then apply layers of silicone coating over it to bring back the sheen. Unfortunately, after such treatment the hair initially looks and feels good and it is difficult for consumers to detect if it is non-remy hair just by touching or feeling it. Because it is so difficult to detect, many vendors unscrupulously labels this hair as “remy hair” and attracts customer through aggressive pricing using ploys such as “factory direct”, “wholesale” “deep discount” etc. However, after few washes the silicone coating wears off and the hair feels very rough. Also, since the cuticles are stripped off, such hair is unable to tolerate color treatment or heat. Such “non-remy hair” (often labeled as “remy”) is available at a significantly cheaper price point than real “remy” hair, but does not last beyond a few washes and cannot be reused at all.
How long will Pure Remy hair last?
Virgin Indian and Remy Indian hair will last 1-2 years with proper care and maintenance. This may seem like a big range, however it will greatly vary depending on the individual wear and maintenance of your hair. If the hair is excessively colored and/or heat styled frequently the lifespan may be less. If the hair is properly treated with sulfate free products, deep conditioning treatments and less heat use throughout wearing it, the lifespan may even exceed 2 years. Being that the cuticle on this hair is intact and aligned all running in the same direction it will react to product, chemicals, and styling just as your natural hair does. This is why it is so important to treat the hair properly to get the longest wear out of the hair. Colored Indian and Human Hair will last at least 1 year with proper care and maintenance.

Washing: Before shampooing gently comb out any tangles while holding the top weft/clip area or base of wig with one hand, and comb hair starting at the ends working your way up.
Wet the hair with lukewarm water, apply your shampoo starting at the root area and gently massaging the shampoo downwards towards the ends. (Never aggressively scrub the hair in circular motions, or pile together; this can cause tangling). Once the shampoo is completely worked through the hair from root to end, rinse clear with warm water (this will open the cuticle layer of the hair and allow the conditioner to penetrate into the hair for best conditioning results).
After thoroughly rinsed, wring out or towel dry as much excess moisture out of the hair as possible. Apply your conditioner starting at the ends first and working your way up to the root area. Once conditioner is applied gently comb through with your fingers or a wide toothed comb to evenly distribute the conditioner and relieve any tangling throughout the hair. Leave conditioner in for anywhere between 3-10min. Rinse out conditioner with cool water (this will close the cuticle and lock in moisture). Be sure to rinse any excess product from the clips or weft area. When towel drying gently blot the hair, never ball up or scrub the hair with a towel.
Brushing: The use of a hair extension loop brush is very important when brushing out your extensions. A loop brush has no end point to the bristles like a standard brush or comb does. The loops will gently glide along the root so it will not puncture the weft, bond or base of a closure/wig. If you need additional deeper brushing or detangling with the use of a wide toothed comb- gather your hair as if you are holding it in a ponytail, comb starting at the ends and working your way up to the mid shaft of the hair until completely detangled, then use the loop brush to complete brush through at the weft or root area.
Sleeping: Never go to sleep with wet hair and never sleep wearing clip-on extensions or wig. Before sleeping completely brush your hair out with an extension loop brush, being sure to eliminate any tangles. Braid hair into a low braid or wrap hair using a scarf. The use of a silk pillowcase is not required, however it is always a benefit to both your hair and your skin.
