The highest quality extension hair is human remy hair. Remy hair still possesses the cuticle layer, which is the outermost part of the hair strand; it resembles shingles on a roof. All remi hair has the cuticle layer of the hair flowing in the same direction, flowing the way it would naturally. The cuticle layer is important when concerned with hair tangling, longevity of the use(up to one year), and how well the hair shines. When the cuticle layer is intact and laying flat, the hair is capable of reflecting light, resulting in the hair shining. Some remi hairs comes in Indian remi hair which is 100% virgin Indian remy human hair which comes directly from the donors from INDIA and hence it's not been processed or chemically treated and this is one of the reason all the cuticles are intact. When cuticles are in the same direction, hair matting is prevented.
