3A Grade Hair vs. 4A/5A Grade Hair/ Remy vs. Remi
Tangling
= Remi vs Remy - Always choose Remy with a Y. Remy with a Y means that
all the cuticles are intact, running in the same direction as it would
growing out of the scalp naturally. It comes from a single donor and
runs $90-$250 per pack/bundle starting. Remy should not tangle or mat
if the hair is a good grade. Remi with an I is a brand of low quality
hair. It is readily available at most beauty supply stores. In general
it has been colored (#1, #2, #3 etc) or chemically treated including
perming, texturing (Yaki), highlighting etc. It runs between $40-$90
per pack. It has already been dyed so it WILL NOT color well.
Virgin
vs Non Virgin - Refers to hair that is completely unprocessed, and
intact. To qualify as virgin hair, it must meet rigorous standards
including: not been permed, dyed, colored, bleached, chemically
processed in any way. Virgin hair is the hair you want if you are going
to dye the hair. Virgin hair is likely to have a few strands of gray or
white hair since it is in its natural color and has not been dyed.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% virgin hair. It usually comes
in a color range around #1b to #1 a natural dark brown to black. NOTE:
It is possible to get Virgin Remi with I. Virgin Remi is hair that has
been swept off of the floor from a Virgin donation station and then
sewn onto a weft. Although the hair has not been colored the cuticles
ARE NOT in alignment so it will tangle even though it is Virgin hair.
Buyers Beware. Knowledge is Power!
What's the difference bet. single/double drawn?
Single
drawn Remy hair also called Virgin hair is made up of hairs of all
different lengths as it grows naturally on the head. The cuticles are
intact and these pieces look very natural. Double drawn hair is sorted
so that all the hairs in a weft are within one or two inches in length,
this is sorted so that all of the strands are of the exact same length.
This is the most expensive grade of hair because of the care that is
required and the time it takes to sort the hair so meticulously.
