What are Remy Hair Extensions?

Hair extensions are just getting bigger and bigger. But with how many hair extension types, brands, and terminology there is - it can be confusing to know what it all means. Remy hair is a term that is often sought after, with both clients and professionals increasingly searching to find extensions that are Remy hair only. 

So keep reading if you want to find out what 100% Remy Human Hair is and why it is the only hair we will ever use for our extensions. Remy Hair is the best for your natural hair, as well as to give you the best results - no matter what length, style, or shade you're looking for!

What is Remy Human Hair?

100% Remy Human Hair is the highest quality of real human hair available on the market. In Remy Hair, the cuticles are preserved and aligned in the same direction, unlike in most non-Remy hair extensions where the cuticles are stripped away. This preservation and alignment of the cuticles maintain the hair's natural appearance, ensuring it stays tangle-free while looking and feeling soft and shiny.

What are 100% Remy Human Hair Extensions?

100% Remy Human Hair Extensions are made entirely from Remy hair, making them the highest quality hair extensions available. Many extensions are marketed as ‘Remy Hair Extensions’ but may only contain some Remy hair. For the most natural look and best quality, it's essential to ensure you are purchasing 100% Remy Human Hair extensions.

These extensions typically come at a higher price point due to the meticulous hand-alignment process required to maintain the hair's cuticles. Look Eleven carefully select the hair to ensure all cuticles are of the same length before binding them together to create our premium extensions.


Why Remy Hair is better than synthetic hair for Hair Extensions

Remy human hair extensions can be washed, styled, and treated just like your natural hair. With proper care and aftercare, 100% Remy human hair extensions can last up to 6-8 months, depending on the extension method.

In contrast, synthetic hair extensions can be challenging to style and blend with natural hair due to their wiry or coarse texture. This coarse look can make synthetic extensions more noticeable compared to Remy human hair extensions. Additionally, non-Remy extensions have a significantly shorter lifespan, often lasting only about a month.

They can also be easily damaged by heat and styling, further reducing their durability. While human hair extensions are more expensive than synthetic ones, their superior quality, natural appearance, and longer lifespan make them a worthwhile investment.

We only provide the highest quality hair extensions available...

Which is why we only ever create hair extensions which are made with 100% Russian Remy Hair.
