2 What is Remi? What is Yaki?

What is Remi?  What is Yaki?  What does Remy hair mean? What about Yaki hair?  Remy hair has to be one of the most confusing words used in today’s market.  First off, Remy hair does not mean the hair is virgin hair.  Remy hair can be virgin, processed (colored) or unprocessed.  Most Remy hair used for weaves and wigs are derived from Asia (ie., China, Korea and India).  Hair is collected from the barber’s floor or Indian temples then can be aggressively treated with acid, and other chemicals which destroy the cuticle partially or totally, which is what the hair industry refers as processed hair.  Sometimes hair is even mixed with animal and synthetic hair (i.e., Yaki).  Harvesting Virgin or Remy Hair:   To assure hair strands are organized facing the same direction from root to tip, hair must be cut close to the scalp in a ponytail. Hair is then collected and cleaned to remove any lice, hair products and/or dirt. Workers ensure strands are facing the same direction  Difference between Virgin/Remy Hair and Yaki Hair:   Virgin and Remy hair refers to a specific harvesting process and Yaki hair refers to the texture resembling relaxed Afro-American/Caribbean hair. Remy hair is cut from a single donor, while in contrast, Yaki hair, may be Remy, non-Remy, or synthetic.  Coloring virgin hair extensions  It’s important to color your natural hair the desired color before your extensions are applied. Your stylist will then color match your extensions to your new color to make your purchased hair look like the real thing. Highlights can even be added by adding different colored extensions in the same randomness as highlights applied to hair pulled through a cap. If your roots need a touch-up before you need to change your extensions, play it safe and leave the coloring to your stylist. BLEACHING YOUR HAIR IS NOT RECOMMENDED. It is risky and uses harsh chemicals that can damage your hair.  Swimming and exercising with virgin hair extensions  Before swimming, be sure to comb out any tangles that may be present, starting from the bottom of your hair and working your way up. Once the hair has been detangled, braid the hair in two braids to ensure that all of the hair is protected. After swimming or being in water, wash the hair immediately. When dirt and sweat accumulates in your hair, your hair could get matted or tangle, and then become unmanageable. After swimming or being in water, you want to remove any damaging chemicals that may have gotten into your hair. Tips for properly caring for your virgin hair extensions

4 What are Hand-Tied Hair Extensions and Hand-Tied Weaves?

What are Hand-Tied Hair Extensions and Hand-Tied Weaves? If you have done some in-depth research on hair extensions and lace wigs then you have most likely heard the terms “Hand-Tied Hair Extensions”, “Hand-Tied Weave”, or “Hand-Tied Wigs”. If you ran across these terms, you probably also noticed that hair extension products that use hand-tied hair are sold at a premium price. Nevertheless, what is not apparent is why they cost so much and why you should want hand-tied hair extension products.  What is Hand-Tied Hair?  Hand-tied hair extensions and hand-tied wigs are based on the same wefting method. A hair weft is essentially a seam that holds all of the base ends of the hair together. Machine-wefted hair is fed into a machine and weaved tightly into the seam. This happens in a manner similar to that of the sewing machine. Hand-tied hair is actually manually woven into the weave by a human and custom attention is given to each weave. The difference in the end products is similar to the differences between hand-sewn seams and machine sewn seams.  Slimmer is Better  The hand-tied hair weft is usually significantly smaller or slimmer than the “normal” more common machine-wefted hair. Hair that is machine-wefted tends to be bulkier because the weave itself needs to be hefty enough to get a good hold on the hair and also because it is being done by a machine. So why would you care? The hair extension weave or weft is the only part of the extension that NO ONE wants anyone to see or feel. It is the tell-tell sign of hair extensions. The slimmer the weft then the easier it will be to hide and the less-likely that someone will detect it if they touch your head. Additionally reduced bulkiness permits a more natural free-flowing solution. It can provide a lot more natural appearing body and volume as well. These characteristics make it an excellent choice for building Lace Wigs as well.  Don’t Mistake Slimness for Weakness  The hair on a hand-tied hair weft is also much more securely attached to the weft. This is important because it means that each strand of hair will remain attached to the weft much longer than their counterparts who are machine-sewn into the weft. Hand-tied hair extensions therefore last longer. They don’t thin out near as quickly as machine-wefted hair extensions. Hand-tied hair wefts dramatically reduce shedding and therefore allow for much longer wear.  Options and Limits  Hand-tied hair wefts are available in various lengths and textures. The wefts are usually sold in 10-inch widths (from one end of the weft to the other end). Given the nature and value of the hand-tied hair extension you won’t want to compromise the hand-tied hair’s integrity by cutting it into shorter widths. It is suggested instead that you use the whole piece without cutting it. If the weft exceeds the needed length of the targeted track, then merely fold over the end and double-up the weft to the length that is needed. Stagger these if you expect need to fold subsequent wefts.  Limited Installation Methods  Hair-tied hair wefts are intended primarily for weaving (sewing to tracks formed from the clients hair) or for hand sewing, such as to Lace Wigs. Some adventurous experimenters have attempted to bond the hand-tied weaves; however, most find this rather difficult given the slimness of the weft. This makes it quite difficult to apply the bonding glue to the track without getting it on the extension’s hair. This can get quite messy. And of course, you definitely won’t want to try fusion installation methods because they would generally be a waste of the premium characteristics of hand-tied hair extensions.
