Cuticle Aligned Hair- What is it?

Cuticle aligned hair is considered to be of the finest quality. This is the type of hair in which the cuticles are kept intact.

Why is Remy Important for Hair Extensions?

All of us hate wearing hair extensions that would easily tangle and matte up. Non-Remy hair extensions have strands of hair with cuticles running in both directions. Since the direction in non-consistent, it easily causes problems with your hair extensions.

This lack of care happens at the time of collecting and donating the hair used for making hair extensions. The hair when cut, drops to the floor which is later collected, leaving a good chance for the cuticles to go both up and down. This is where single donor raw Indian hair gains prominence.

It is also a good idea to band or tie the hair before it is cut for making hair extensions. This helps keep the strands in the same position during the wefting and shackling process.

How is Cuticle Aligned Hair Collected? 

The collection process can take anywhere from lab, salon, to a temple. The hair is cut from the donor's ponytail to ensure the cuticles remain intact. Once the hair has been cut, it is taken to a factory for cleaning, processing and bundling. 

How is Non-Remy Hair Collected? 

Non-Remy hair, on the other hand, is collected from the floors of temples or salons by the vendors. The hair from different donors is mixed together to create bundles comprising a mix of short as well as long hair.
