Virgin Hair:
Virgin hair is hair that has never been processed or treated with ANY kind of chemicals. The hair is in its natural state with its cuticles running in the same direction and in tact. You can bleach, dye and process Virgin hair just as you would your own.
Remy (Virgin) Hair:
Remy hair is hair that has all the cuticles running in the same direction. Remy hair differs from Virgin hair mainly in that it has been CHEMICALLY processed for colour or texture, but the cuticle remains intact so the hair will not tangle.
TYPES OF VIRGIN OR REMY VIRGIN HAIR:
Indian:
It’s the most versatile and readily available on the market. The hairs density is very fine. It’s naturally airy, light and bouncy and can easily be curled and styled. Indian hair moves effortlessly with minimal products. It also blends well with most hair textures. This hair texture can be found ranging from silky to lightly coarse.
This hair will swell and become frizzy in humid weather and in foggy conditions. Anti-frizz products are highly suggested.
Brazilian:
This hair is used diversely because of its softness, durability and density (thickness). This texture is easiest to blend with most ethnicities from some Caucasian textures to African American relaxed textures. Brazilian hair is extremely luxurious and very soft with a lot of body and natural shine. Its luster is low to medium. Because of the density of Brazilian hair, you may not want to use as many bundles as you would normally use with other textures to create a full look.
Peruvian:
Peruvian Hair is the ultimate multi-purpose hair! It’s extremely soft and ultimately feather light! You can have up to five bundles of a Peruvian hair installed yet still maintain a feathery light, maintainable style. This hair is coarser in texture than Indian or Brazilian hair and its luster is low to medium. It blends very well with African-American relaxed hair textures and medium Caucasian hair textures. This hair is Luxurious and one of our favourites.
Malaysian:
Malaysian hair has an extremely luxurious feel and is sleek and shiny, but not excessively shiny. Its luster is low to medium-similar to Brazilian hair. This hair hold curls extremely well without the use of products. It is generally very dark brown; close to black with some bundles may having lighter ends. This hair blends very well with most hair types including African American. It does not swell or frizz in humid conditions making it low maintenance. This hair is amazing-you will love it!
BASIC HAIR CARE TIPS
•YOUR HAIR NEEDS TO BE COWASHED A MINIMUM OF ONCE PER WEEK. (once in 2 weeks for straight/ very loose wave hair)
•You need to keep your hair moisturized. If you do not it will cause drying, tangling, matting and shedding. Oil is not moisture, but it can be used to seal in moisture during deep conditions. Providing moisture is accomplished by using a moisturizing conditioner.
•Shampoo should be used very sparingly since it is known to strip hair of its moisture. Since it is not attached to a scalp there are not oils being deposited consistently. Conditioner can remove sweat and some product build up.
•Never use any kind of bleaching product that is excessively harsh on the hair. Additionally, you should never attempt to perform any bleaching or coloring process on your own. Instead, you should visit your local professional stylist and allow them to undertake the procedure themselves.
•If heat needs to be used to style hair (flat irons etc.), be sure to use leave-in conditioner first, as well as a heat protector. This will help prevent any kind of damage to your hair, such as frizz and dryness. However, you should never use a heat protection product that contains any alcohol, as this will significantly dry out your hair.
•When going to bed be sure to tie your hair down or braid it and use either a silk or satin cap/bonnet to cover your hair before going to bed at night. Never wrap your hair in any kind of cotton material, as this will only absorb oils from your hair that can make it much less manageable. You also should not use any elastic bands since these can cause various amounts of stress.
