Remy Hair Extensions vs. Standard Extensions

Below we give you a description of the two types of clip on hair extensions so that you can be informed during the purchase process.

Remy Hair Extensions

Remy Hair Extensions are bundled in such a manner that the roots of each hair strand are all on one side and the tips of the hair strand on the opposite side. Since all the hairs are placed in the same direction, the hairs remain undisturbed, making them more durable and long lasting.

Remy hair extensions are made with 100% Real Human Hair popularly referred to as ‘Virgin Hair’ and are extremely popular in various parts of the world. They are also can be categorized in the ‘premium’ segment, as far as hair quality is concerned.

Remy hair extensions are categorized into two types:

Single Drawn: This type of hair is taken out directly from the scalp by shaving the head. Care is taken to remove only the very short hair from the longer hair. This still leaves varying lengths of hair, which gives a ponytail like appearance.

Double Drawn: This type of hair is the finest quality with the same hair strand length in a piece. The hair strands are arranged with equal lengths. There will not be any shorter hair strands in a weft.

Remy hair extensions are categorized into three levels of quality:

Quality A: This level is made from a double drawn Virgin Remy hair. The wefts are unidirectional and characterized by double drawn hair. The whole weft is made with hair strands of the same length.

Quality B: This level is made from a special double drawn hair, made up of virgin Remy Hair and is unidirectional. The length of hair strands may vary by up to 1-2 inches.

Quality C: This is the final quality of hair wefts. The cuticles are intact and are unidirectional. The entire weft contains hair strands of different lengths.

Our Remy sets are classified asDouble Drawn/Quality-A hair extension sets. This means our Remy hair is virgin, unidirectional, and double drawn to ensure the hair is all the same length!

Standard Hair Extensions

Standard Hair Extensions are perhaps the most popular and commonly available form of hair extension. Standard Hair is also known as ‘fallen hair’. The roots and tips of hairs are mixed.

Standard Hair Extensions are categorized by four types:

Tangle-Free Hair: This type of hair is made by shaving the cuticles off of each hair strand. This process reduces the chances of friction among hairs and what remains is tangle-free hair.

Normal Hair: The cuticles are present, which makes the hair prone to tangling problems.

Single Drawn: This type of hair is taken out directly from the scalp by shaving the head. Care is taken to remove only the very short hair from the longer hair. This still leaves varying lengths of hair, which gives a ponytail like appearance.

Double Drawn: This type of hair is the finest quality with the same wave length in a piece. The hair strands are arranged with equal lengths. There will not be any shorter hair strands in a weft.

Standard Hair Extensions are categorized into three levels of quality:

Quality A: This level consists of tangle-free hair. They are made from a double drawn hair. The whole weft is made with hair strands of the same length.

Quality B: This level is also tangle-free hair. They are made up of special double drawn hair. The length of hair strands may vary by up to 1-2 inches.

Quality C: This level is also tangle-free hair. They are made from single drawn hair. The entire weft contains hair strands of different lengths.

Our standard sets are classified as Tangle-Free/Double Drawn/Quality-A hair extension sets. This means our standard hair is of the highest quality and tangle-free.
