You know I got a great question the other day on a email, umm you know being the industry
for over 30 years now people really believe ask you questions where ever you go. But I
thought this was a great question. The person wanted to know "you know Haith when I'm ordering
hair online or buying hair at a hair boutique, how do I know the difference? How do I know
real Remy hair, *** hair, Indian hair, Malaysian Hair? How can I tell the difference?
Well let's stick with just Remy hair. What is Remy hair? Well Remy hair, when people
say "oh well I want Remy hair" a lot of times when you ask people the
common person doesn't know what that means. What it simply means is the cuticle is still
intact and all the hair is going one direction and you wanna make sure you don't buy, even
if you buy Malaysian hair, Chinese, Indian hair, whatever type of hair you purchase,
you only want to order or you only wanna purchase hair that is Remy hair. That means the cuticle
is still intact. Why is that an advantage to you? If the cuticle is still intact that
means the hair is not going to tangle that means the hair is not going to matt because
the hair is protected by the cuticle. The cuticle to your hair is like you r skin to
your body. It keeps the moisture in, it keeps it shiny, it keeps it silky, it gives it body,
it keeps it moving. So if the cuticle is removed, they then have to put a silicone, an artificial
cuticle on the hair and you'll be able to tell that within 5 weeks that you have non-Remy
hair. And what non-Remy hair is is that they take hair that is from the floor, they weft
it, they remove it by a chemical, a chemical umm, that they place over the hair and then
they dip it in silicone. Well in 5 weeks that silicone is gonna wash out and your hair is
gonna begin to tangle. So the one thing that you wanna make sure is that you're buying
Remy hair, meaning that the hair is still intact with the cuticle and the hair is going
one direction. One way, this is Remy hair; this is Indian, one way you can test it to
make sure is that if you wet your hand, dip it in some water, you go down its gonna feel
really really smooth, you dip your hand back in water you're gonna go up, its gonna kind
of feel rough and that's what you want. If it if it feels smooth going down and smooth
going up that means that the cuticle has been removed. So you want it to feel a little rough
when you're going back up. So that's a tip on how to purchase
Remy hair. Thanks again for watching and stay tuned.
