I. Definition

1.Virgin hair

Virgin hair, also called pure virgin hair, is human hair that has never gone through any kind of treatment, including permed, dyed or bleached. It is collected from one single donor and is the closest resemblance to the real hair on your head. All hair strands are uniform in terms of cuticles and textures.

2. Remy hair

Remy hair is also unprocessed human hair which is often collected from two or three different donors. Its cuticles are intact but there might be differences in textures.

II. Differences between virgin hair and remy hair

Remy hair

Origin

Virgin hair is collected from one single donor. It is the highest quality, healthy, durable and can blend very well with your natural hair.

Remy hair is collected from two or three donors. However, this does not affect the quality of hair, it is also healthy, soft and silky.

Texture

All hair strands come from one head, nourished by one scalp and are taken care of by the same routine, that’s why they have a uniform texture. Each hair strand will react the same when exposed to various styling methods or hair treatments, resulting in a consistent outcome.

Being collected from mixed donors, texture of each hair strand in a remy hair extension may vary. This means there might be differences in structures of the hair, too. Depending on how it is processed, remy hair may react differently and cause hardship when dye or bleach.

Ability to dye/bleach

Virgin hair is the most versatile kind of hair. With a virgin hair extension, you are free to style, dye or bleach it whatever way you want to, just like your natural hair. There is no limitation to virgin hair. In fact, it is the only type of hair that can be bleached blonde (613 and 60).

As mentioned above, remy hair strands may differ in textures and structures, meaning processing time can be different. You will have to pay more attention if you want to dye or bleach a remy hair extension. Remy hair can not bleach to blonde (613 and 60). However, if you are in for other trendy colors such as burgundy, brown, orange or purple, remy hair can suit you just fine with a more affordable price.
