When looking through various catalogs and wigs online stores in search of that perfect wigs to wear, it's likely that you have encountered the term Remy hair wigs. These wigs are actually the most popular these days because of different reasons.

Remy hair also gives a more natural appearance than regular human hair extensions.

Remy hair wigs usually have a smoother, shinier, and healthier appearance than regular human hair. When washed, they will not mat and tangle. Virgin Remy hair has not been chemically processed; this hair is raw and natural in other terms. Non-virgin Remy hair underwent some sort of chemical processing in order to achieve another color.

Remy hairs are simply real human hairs that are harvested very carefully from the donor so that the cuticle remains intact. When the cuticle is in perfect condition, the individual hair strands can be attached to the wig cap in a perfectly aligned position, simulating natural hair growth. This also makes the finished wig less susceptible to tangles and matting.

Remy hair wigs can be found in many portions of the world. The most popular type is Indian Remy hair. Its texture and color can be easily matched to the majority of ethnic groups in the world. Remy hair also comes from South America, East Asia and Europe. The origin of the Remy hair an individual purchases is not as important as the kind of care that was given to the hair when it was first collected from the donor.
