Here are some images to illustrate some of the curl and wave options above.
NB: Please note that these pictures are of hair samples. They are intended
for use as a guide to curl and wave only. These pictures are not hair systems
and are in no way a reflection of what the finished hair system will look like.
There are three main types of human hair used in hair replacement systems - Chinese,
Indian and European.
Chinese hair
Chinese hair is the most common type of hair found in hair replacement systems
on the market today. The reason for this is simple - it's readily available
in large quantities and cheap to buy.
We do not use Chinese hair in our hair replacement systems because it has a
round cross-section as opposed to the oval shape of European hair, making it
too thick, rigid and coarse to be appropriate for people of European descent.
Indian Remy Hair
This is Indian hair in its virgin condition. It has an extraordinary silky
and soft quality since it has never been exposed to harsh chemical treatments.
This Remy hair is specially processed to ensure all the cuticle layers are
facing in the same direction from root to end, and therefore does not tangle.
This ensures the hair behaves exactly like your own hair, blending in superbly
and looking perfectly natural.
The cuticle layer protects the hair from harsh environmental conditions, which
keeps the hair shiny and resilient to damage.
Remy hair is soft to touch and retains its vitality and elasticity, so the
hair will never matt and always looks healthy and full of luster.
European Hair
We also supply European hair which offers may of the benefits outlined above
for the Remy hair (vitality, resilient to damage, good co lour retention, natural
sheen, etc...), but the main difference is the diameter of the individual hair
shaft. European hair has a slightly thinner texture compared to Indian hair,
so it's a popular choice if your own natural hair is finer at the sides and
back.
One of the significant drawbacks of European hair is cost. There has been a
huge surge in demand for European hair, resulting from the popularity of hair
extensions. This has caused a shortage in supply, which consequently forces
prices up.
Synthetic Hair
Synthetic hair is simply very fine plastic filaments made primarily of mod
acrylic fibres that have the look and feel of real hair. We stock a huge variety
of the finest synthetic hair fibres available, and you can choose from shiny
or matt, and soft or coarse.
Synthetic hair is very easy to wear, and requires little maintenance. Unlike
human hair the synthetic fibres needs minimal or no styling after washing. Shorter
synthetic hair styles are often referred to as "Shake & Go", meaning
that all you do is shake them out and they look great. Longer styles may simply
need to be combed or finger styled.
Generally, one important thing to remember is to avoid heat sources when wearing
synthetic hair, i.e. hair dryers, curling or straightening irons, even an open
oven may ruin the fibre. Also, synthetic hair can be easily damaged by friction.
Constant friction from a pillowcase, or wearing hats and helmets can cause the
hair to deteriorate and result in a frizzy appearance.
With proper care, the life of synthetic hair is good and can last between 1-2
years. Synthetic hair is much less prone to oxidation compared to human hair,
so the co lour will last longer as it's more resilient to the damaging effects
of UV rays.
Synthetic hair is also a very popular option if you have a percentage of gray
hair mixed with your natural co lour because it will not absorb the hair dye
if your system is colored.
What is the difference between Indian Remy and Chinese Remy Hair?
- Indian Remy hair is the most versatile hair it can easily be curled, waved,
styled and is less course than Chinese Remy hair. Most of our customers prefer
Indian Remy Hair.
- You should only choose Chinese Remy hair if you want a VERY straight wig,
that is naturally shiny, and does not hold curl, and is slightly more course.
What is the Silky (European) Hair texture?
- The silky hair texture is the natural state of the Indian/Chinese Hair as
it comes from the donor. Sometimes referred to as European Texture.
- Not to be confused with actual European Human Hair, this is a reference
to texture only. You will have the choice of Indian Remy Hair, or Chinese
Remy Hair.
Does Yaki Hair wave up when wet?
- No, it does not wave up when wet.
What is Yaki Texture?
- Yaki texture is processed hair, your hair system as a added micro kink to
make the hair strands mimic black relaxed hair.
- If you are Caucasian, you will not want to choose a Yaki Texture.
What is Remy hair?
- Remy Hair is human hair that is the softest and most natural hair on the
market. The majority of human hair sold in the industry is non-cuticle hair.
The hair cuticle has been stripped by using an acid-bath. However, with Remy
hair the hair that we use, this is not done, so the hair cuticle is intact,
therefore the hair is stronger. It also makes the hair softer and more natural
and makes it so it does not tangle which allows it to be ideal for longer
wear.
What Kind of Hair is used?
- Our hair systems are made from 100% Human Hair. You have the choice of Indian
Remy or Chinese Remy.
