VIRGIN HAIR 101

"Virgin Hair is always considered as Remy Hair.
But
Remy hair will not always be virgin hair."

WHAT IS VIRGIN HAIR?
Virgin hair refers to the Raw state of Human hair.  Hair that has been completely untouched, unprocessed & remains with cuticles intact. 
The virgin category standards include hair which have NOT been permed, dyed, colored, bleached, chemically processed or heat styled in any way.

WHAT IS REMY HAIR?
Remy Hair is known as the premium source as far as quality. Remy hair basically means the hair follicles all go in one single direction.
Remy hair is collected in a method in which all hair strands stay aligned in the natural direction as it grew.
Usually to ensure this, the hair is held in a ponytail & then cut. To guarantee top at top, and ends at ends, to maintain the natural texture pattern and cuticle direction. 
This eliminates tangling problems commonly found in non-Remy or lower quality hair.

WHY DO WE WANT VIRGIN HAIR?

Obviously not all hair can be virgin hair. But it does offer a great canvas to work with.
Virgin hair can be coloured & will take colour very well. This is great if you want to make a custom design or have your hair match perfectly to your extensions. 
Generally virgin hair is made for sew-in weaves, full wig units or Upart Wig units. 

Virgin Hair is Bouncy, Full & Flawless.
Higher quality virgin hair has a natural gorgeous luster & full body. With no dead ends & a healthy density from top to bottom.

No tangling or snagging in the hair when brushing through with fingers or a brush. 
As no colour process has changed the integrity of the hair, the hair should be extremely soft, with no dry ends. It should feel like butter.

Keeping your human hair moisturized is very important also. Virgin Hair will soak up all conditioning products such as coconut oil, argan oils & deep conditioning treatments that will help stay in prefect condition. This should be done often to keep them looking healthy.

WHEN USING AS HAIR EXTENSIONS

When using different Origin types for Hair Extensions installation. Hair Extensions such as Beaded Weft, Tape & Micro Beads.  It is important to consider your hair type when choosing your hair origin.

The origin is really all about TEXTURE, the way it will behave when installed. This is the main structure of the hair which includes density, pattern, luster, movement & natural colour state.

Example, Hair Weight & Density
Someone with very fine hair would be better suited to a European Hair texture but can also use Indian, Brazilian & Eurasian. Where as Peruvian or Malaysia hair type may be too thick of a density for the clients finer hair to support. 

Example, Texture style
Do you want bouncy full curly styled hair? Peruvian hair is prefect curly styled hair as the courser texture allows the curls to hold for longer. Where as a softer texture like Cambodian will drop almost immediately due to the softness of the hair structure.

New Age Synthetic Hair | Rogue Hair Extensions

Review on Rogue Hair Extensions
 New Synthetic Hair

Wait!  
Before you click away. You have to check out this new synthetic it's unlike anything you have never seen before!


Gone are the days of Tacky, low quality synthetic hair!

We all know that cheap synthetic that feels like horse hair & mattes just by looking at it. 

 GROSS

Well NOT anymore!
~~~Rogue Hair Extensions will be adding this new Synthetic option to the store! ~~~

SHOP NOW

So lets check it out!

Examples of Rogue Hair Extension Synthetics

As the industry expands & technologies advance we are starting to see a massive improvement in the quality of Synthetic hair.

The denier & texture of the hair is becoming more comparable to Human Hair with less tangling & a smoother finish.
 
These lightweight and easy to attach extensions provide instant length & change of colour.
Available in either 1 piece (5 Clip) or a 7pc (4x1, 3x2, 2x2, 2x1) option.


 Heat Resistant Styling:

Synthetic has a reputation for melting when in contact with heat.
Thankfully, fibers are now being created to resist heat.

Straighten/Curl your Synthetic hair with a styling tool that has a digital temperature gauge. Typically, synthetic hair cannot withstand heat over 180 degrees, so a high setting will not be safe for synthetic hair.

I have tested the heat resistance with a GHD Eclipse (180 Degrees), which resulted in amazing results. I do not recommend temperatures over 180.

STRAIGHTENING

Step 1:
Brush through hair

Step 2:
Spray either Heat Protection spray or water to the hair & straighten as required


CURLING

There is a huge difference in how we Curl style synthetic fibers.
The Heat-Resistant Synthetic section piece must be clipped away and allowed to cool in order for the curl to set correctly. Then you continue to the next piece.

Once the curl has been styled & set, you can only remove the curl by flat-ironing the hair.
Again with the same method to curl & allowed section to cool before contact with next section.

The same goes for pre-set synthetic curly hair extensions that you want to flat-ironed; these should be anchored straight until cool and must be washed to restore the curl.
 

HOW TO INSTALL:

Easy to Attached, Style & Remove
  1.  Comb and divide your hair in a straight line
  2. Attach the extension close to the hairline, push and lock in the 5 clips. Ensure they are flat to the head to eliminate any bumps to remand undetected.
  3. Once all clips are locked in, blend the extensions into your natural hair by letting your hair down & brushing gently.
  4. Style as necessary 
  5. To remove undo all clips & remove.
Style in a braid or fish tail!






Example of 1 Pc Synthetic with 5 Clips 





HOW TO STORE:

Storing your Synthetic extensions will be very important as they won't be installed semi permanently.

I recommend two ways;

OPTION 1:
  • Use a hanger with crocodile clips. 
  • Open your extension & use the hangers clip to attach to each end. 
  • Brush through ends & store by hanging in your closet
OPTION 2:
  • Tie the extensions with a band around the top with extensions folded over.
  • Place in packaging to keep from tangling
  • Store away in cupboard or drawer 


PRO's & CON'S:

Pro:

  • Gorgeous quality 
  • Amazing Custom Made Colours
  • Heat resistant - Can use hot tools
  • Synthetic has a memory of the style | Straight or Curly
  • Easy to use. Not extra styling required
