Why does Human Hair Tangle

Have you ever bought what you thought was great quality human hair, only to find out that you need the number to the original owner of your hair to have a serious how-to-guide.

Tangling and shedding is the most common complaint from Human Hair Extensions.

Why is this?

1. Most pre-packaged hair is collected from hair that has already shed and been collected into a box and taken down to a factory deposit center. At the plant they sort this hair by length and coat it with silicone to give it's shiny and smooth feel. But as you wash your hair, you remove the coating exposing the ragged cuticles which sit on top of each other and tangle.

2. Remy Hair is a solution to this...most remy hair the cuticles are shaved off and aligned in the same direction. This is hair such as Bohyme Hair is more expensive but lasts longer. But when the cuticle is removed it does not allow the hair to be processed or colored. The hair tends to dry out after a while and has a maximum shelf life of around one year.

3. Cuticle Intact Remy Hair is the best case scenario. It has the cuticle intact but all aligned in the same direction so that it mimics how it grows from your own head. This way you can color and process the hair you would your own. It can be reused for about 2-3 years and still maintain its porosity and vitality.

So now you know...
