human hair for black women used for wig making or extensions is available in many varieties, looks the most natural and is the best option. The major advantage of natural hair is that it can be treated and maintained just as you would maintain your own hair. But it does have a tendency to tangle together only if not cared for properly. The cost varies according to quality of the hair.
Remi or Remy hair:
This type of hair that has its cuticle intact and has been partially hand processed to maintain root tip alignment. The cuticle layers are all facing the same direction from root to end just like your natural hair and, therefore, do not tangle. This hair is more expensive but will remain in good condition for much longer than decuticlized hair. This also ensures that the extensions behave exactly like your own hair, blending in perfectly with your own hair and looking natural. It can also be heat styled and colored to match to your own hair colour or highlighted / low lighted easily.
The majority of ready to wear machine-made human hair silk top glueless wigs are mostly made in China. They are made of hair which is chemically stripped of its cuticle so that it can be machine processed without concern about hair direction or root end alignment. They are not made from virgin hair with cuticle intact and in same direction. If the cuticle is left and the roots ends alignment mixed up, the scales on the cuticle would oppose and pull each other causing tangling. To avoid this it is necessary to process the hair with strong chemical treatment to destroy and strip it of its cuticle layer, leaving it thin and fragile.
All wigs ,Hair extensions and hair replacement systems made by Allure Hair are made with natural virgin hair with cuticle intact and in same direction.
As human hair shades differ, to match the color or to get the required lighter shades the color is stripped and then it is recolored usually using fabric dyes and not professional hair color that is uesd in salons. The hair is covered with a silicon layer which gives it a healthy shiny look and softer texture. Initially the hair seems shiny and beautiful, but after a few washes the silicon layer starts to wash away and the hair becomes dull and brittle again, thus resulting in tangling, discomfort, and breakage of hair. The negative effects of stripping off the cuticle are brittleness, reduced protection from sunlight, dryness, salt, chlorine and pollution as well as a tendency to absorb liquids, swell or matt. It is not advisable to colour or heat style this hair. Due to the chemical processes the hair has already gone through, using any chemical on it will cause the hair to disintegrate and fall apart. It is not possible for common people to make out if the hair is of this type with the naked eye.
Remy hair is of Indian origin collected from various temples in India, where people go and offer their hair to God in reverence. The specialty of this hair is that when the hair is cut/ shaved from the devotees head, they are cut in a pony tail or braided form thus keeping all the cuticles in the same direction. The Remy hair when used properly in hair ventilation of hair pieces or on a weft do not tangle and have a smooth feeling when you run your finger from top to bottom. This is hair that does NOT go through an acid bath. Because it still has the cuticle on it is stronger than regular hair used in hair pieces.
