Remy hair is not a brand name, but rather a general term for high-quality human hair strands. The name originates from the French hair trading family, Remy, historically known for processing and trading high-quality human hair.

Remy hair,also spelled Remi hair, is a high-quality type of human hair characterized by the fact that all the hair strands have their cuticles aligned in the same direction, like fish scales. This makes it less prone to tangling, gives it a smooth feel, and provides a natural shine, making it an excellent material for producing high-quality hairpieces and extensions.

Remy Hair Vs No-Remy Hair

They are all human hair, but the only essential difference between them is that in Remy hair, all the hair strands have their roots aligned in the same direction, while in non-Remy hair, the strands are mixed up and some are reversed (root to tip).

This difference leads to significant variations in their performance during use. Check the differences below:

Feature	Remy Hair	Non-Remy Hair
Cuticle Alignment	All aligned in same direction	Mixed, not aligned
Smoothness	Very smooth, shiny	Prone to tangling, dull
Durability	Long-lasting (2-4 years+)	Shorter lifespan (1-2 years)
Maintenance	Easy to comb, low frizz	Hard to detangle, frizzy
Styling	Can be dyed, curled easily	Limited styling options
Price	Expensive	Affordable
Fell	Natural, lightweight	Can feel rough/heavy

How To Identify Remy Hair?

The method for distinguishing them is as follows: in natural, undyed hair, the roots are dark, and the ends are slightly dry and yellowish, or may have split ends. Dyed hair, on the other hand, tends to be more elastic.

In short, choosing Remy hair means: less tangling, easier maintenance, longer lifespan, and a more natural look. It is the preferred material for high-end wigs, extensions, and hairpieces, though it comes at a higher price point.
