Remy Hair Extensions and Human Hair Extension Grades
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

"Single Drawn" remy human hair is collected from one donor, and is considered Grade 6A (AAAAAA) hair.  Usually the head of the donor is shaved and/or the hair is collected in a ponytail, with natural long and short strands collected in each bundle. The cuticle is intact and aligned, going in the same direction, and the hair is unprocessed in it's raw form. This type of hair is also virgin hair, and is the second most sought after hair on the market. This single donor hair is sold in 4 oz bundles, which is a not a full head application. Generally it takes up to 3 - 4 bundles for a full head, weave in application. This means several different donor's hair, make up a full head application. Remy single drawn hair can be colored and styled like your natural hair and lasts up to 2 years with proper care. Most of this hair is considered a 50/30/20 hair ratio. Most popular hair extensions on the marker today are made with a standard hair ratio of 40/30/30. It means that 40% of the extension hair is made up of the longest pieces of hair, the next 30% will be the next shortest hair, and the last 30% of the extension hair is the shortest hair.

 

The next grade of hair, is processed hair (colored and textured straight or wavy) starting at Grade 5A (AAAAA). The the next grades are  4A,  3A,  2A, 1A, down to 0 grade, or no grade for non- remy human and animal hair. Most clip-in human hair extensions are Grade 3A hair, however, many hair extensions companies sell non-graded hair. Low grade hair is the least expensive hair to buy, and can be sold at a high profit.  

 

 

Non Remy Hair  

 

Non Remy hair extensions is hair strands gathered with the hair cuticles going in different directions, and/or hairs that are processed and stripped of the cuticle. This leaves the hair somewhat smooth, (at first), but it will become brittle and tangle quickly within a few times of wearing and washing. This is non-graded hair,  Grade 0, 1A (A), or Grade 2A (AA) hair, and can be a mix of remy and non remy hair strands, synthetic fibers, and sometimes animal hair.   Though these are sold as remy hair extensions, (remember, remy hair is any hair that has the cuticle intact), you may not be getting cuticle aligned remy hair extensions, or 100% human hair extensions. Low grade hair is often hair that has been swept off the floor and collected into bundles. Though it is marketed and sold as Remy Hair Extensions, and may be remy cuticle hair, the hair is not aligned, and the cuticles are going in different directions. The hair is mixed with several different donor's hair, different hair textures, different colors, gray hair, often synthetic fibers, and more often animal hair. Some of the hair has been stripped of the cuticle, some has the cuticle is partially intact. 

 

It is common for most popular remy hair extension companies sell 3A through Grade 0  human hair extensions. These lower grades of hair are generally less expensive, since the life of the hair is short,  the hair is less desirable, and cheap to get. This type of hair is good to use for those who will be using hair extensions occasionally. It is not recommended for regular use or semi-permanent applications or weaves. You must ask your seller what grade your human hair extensions are before you buy.

 

 

Royal Remy Clips Hair

 

Royal Remy Clips remy hair extensions are Grade 6A (AAAAAA), 100% Indian remy cuticle human hair, not mixed with any animal hair or synthetic fibers.  Our hair is single drawn, and just like full head applications of virgin hair, our large gram weight sets are made up of several donor's hair. The cuticles are aligned and the hair is processed into straight or body wave texture, and dyed or lightened into one of our beautiful colors.  Royal Remy Clips also offers high gram weights of 100% remy hair extensions at extremely affordable prices.  We know that 3.5 oz or 100 grams of hair is not enough for a full head application. To create length without thin, skinny ends, you need a higher gram weight.

 

Our hair ratio is 60/20/20, which means 60% of the extension is made up of the longest strands, 20 % is the next longest, and the next 20% are the shortest strands. Our hair ratio is above average, for a natural, but full look. Most hair extensions on the market today are a 40/30/30 ratio or less.

 

All human hair extensions dry out faster than natural hair once it is cut, processed, and no longer has access to natural oils from the scalp. Royal Remy Clips believes that starting with the healthiest, and freshest cut hair is important to the life of any human hair extensions. Your Royal Remy Clips remy hair extensions are custom ordered just for you straight from the factory. We do not keep stored inventory like some of our competitors, who buy large wholesale quantities, and stock the hair for months and sometimes years before it is sold.  Royal Remy Clips gives you  beautiful human hair extensions that are shiny, manageable, that can be styled like your own natural hair. Remember, it is still processed (colored and textured) hair,  that needs love and care to maintain it's longevity and beauty. It is recommended that it is only colored darker, no more than, 2 or 3 shades difference, to preserve the life of the hair. Highlights can be done safely if a few shades difference. Over all bleaching of any extension hair is not recommended.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remy Hair


Remy cuticle hair is strands of hair that have all the hair cuticles intact. These cuticles run in one direction from the base of the head to the tip of the hair strand. This type of hair usually comes from one or more donors, and is not mixed with any other human hair or synthetic fibers. 

 

The most expensive remy cuticle hair is called "Double Drawn" remy cuticle hair. This hair is hand collected, the cuticle is aligned going in one direction, and is arranged with close to 100% of the strands being one length. To achieve this, the hair is collected and cut at the top and the bottom so all the strands are close to one length. The hair ratio for double drawn hair is, 90% to 99% of the extension hair is made up of the longest hair.

 

This type of hair is virgin, unprocessed hair in raw form, and comes in natural colors only, generally backs to dark browns, European raw hair has lighter colors. This type of hair is the most expensive in the world. This is the highest grade of hair at Grade 7A (AAAAAAA). Expect to pay up to $500.00 - $1,000.00 a bundle for 4 ounces of virgin raw hair.  Because of it's cost, it is usually found in short lengths up to 18 inches long, and sold in 4 oz bundles. Generally, it takes up to 3 - 4 bundles for a full head, weave in application. This means several different donor's hair, make up a full head application. Remy double drawn hair can be colored and styled like your natural hair and lasts up to 2 years with proper care.
