Choosing Hair Extensions According To Hair Quality

Virgin hair is by definition Remy, that is to say that 100% unprocessed hair collected from one donor with the cuticle scales all oriented in the same direction to preserve the longevity and the good appearance of your hairstyle. A Remy hair is also brighter, more toned. Some hair is mixed from multiple donors, and processed in the factory. They therefore do not benefit from the designation of virgin hair. They can however be Remy, if the orientation of the cuticles is homogeneous.

To summarize:

• Top quality: Remy virgin hair. You can treat it, color it and style it like healthy natural hair. On Just Virgin Hair, we only sell wigs and human hair weaving made of 100% unprocessed top grade virgin hair.
• Good quality: Remy hair. It has already been processed in the factory. Coloring, discoloration or chemical or thermal treatments, go in moderation.
• Standard quality: neither virgin nor Remy, the hair has been chemically treated in the factory, and the cuticles are arranged randomly. They are therefore less resistant and less shiny than a Remy hair - a fortiori than a virgin hair. Take them as they come, and avoid any chemical or heat treatment.
