If you’ve been considering human hair extensions as the solution to your hair problems or the perfect tool to recreate the hairstyles of your dreams, chances are that you’ve read this sentence a thousand times: “make sure you choose high quality hair extensions”. But what does high quality mean when talking about tresses, and how to break down all the jargon? In today’s blog, we’re going to talk about hair cuticles – where hair quality begins – and how important they are for the final look and feel of clip in hair extensions and other types of hair solutions.
What Are Hair Cuticles?
Let’s start with a little bit of science to understand the structure of a single hair strand: the cuticle is the outermost protective layer of your hair. Under the microscope, hair cuticles look like a scaly layer covering the hair shaft, and they’re made of overlapping cells resembling roof shingles.
The purpose of hair cuticles is to protect the inner layers of your hair from UV radiation, heat, chemicals, physical abrasion, and other external agents that could damage your hair’s softer and more delicate core.
On top of that, cuticles help retain moisture and regulate its absorption, keeping your hair hydrated and preventing excessive dryness or frizz; damaged and lifted cuticles have an impact on your hair’s overall look and feel, ultimately impacting your hair porosity too.
What Is Cuticle Aligned Hair?
When reading or talking about hair extensions, chances are that the words “cuticle aligned” might pop up. But what does it mean, and what impact does cuticle alignment on your hair extensions quality? When it comes to extensions, the alignment of the cuticles is crucial to ensure the anti-tangling properties of the added tresses, their shine factor, and general softness, smoothness and manageability. High-quality extensions, often referred to as "Remy" hair, are selected by choosing hair strands with preserved cuticles – flowing in the same direction from root to tip.
Cuticle aligned hair extensions look and perform better, preventing the scales on the outer layer of the hair shaft from catching onto each other – thus reducing tangling, matting, and general wear and tear.
The Royal Difference: Remy Royale Quality
Cliphair’s Remy Royale range is praised around the world for its cuticle aligned tresses and double drawn composition, for hair that is thick, looks fuller, and has unmatched shine, softness, and manageability. But how is it different from the regular 100% Remy hair that characterises collections such as double weft hair extensions and ultra volume hair extensions?
Whilst the Remy collection is cuticle aligned, it is different in quality from the Remy Royale range.
What Are Double Drawn Hair Extensions?
Double drawn hair extensions are a type of extensions where the strands are carefully selected to have the same length, for wefts that share the same thickness from root to tip. This means that the final results will be thicker and fuller looking, especially on the ends – where other types of extensions tend to seem thinner. It’s the ideal range to recreate glamorous hairdos, or to match thicker hair types or blunt haircuts.
Remy Royale: Champions Of Longevity
The integrity of the hair cuticles and the quality of the tresses in our Remy Royale range makes sure we can guarantee a 6+ months lifetime for the hair extensions in this collection. This is especially important when considering permanent hair extensions, as some types – such as flat tip hair extensions – are quite low maintenance and can be worn for up to three months before booking a refitting appointment. Longevity is extremely important in long-term hair solutions, and that’s why our whole permanent range is available in Remy Royale selection.
Care & Maintenance: How To Care For Remy Hair Extensions
Taking care of your Remy Royale hair extensions is quite easy, just make sure you follow these essential bullet points:
- Make sure you’re always using sulphate-free and alcohol-free shampoo, conditioner, and hair masks
- Avoid excessive heat-based styling
- Always protect your hair extensions from heat damage by using heat protection spray when resorting to styling tools such as hair straighteners, curling wands, blow-dryers and such
- Always use a detangling brush for hair extensions to keep your tresses tangle-free and prevent matting
- Only trust qualified hair professionals for fitting appointments, maintenance, and removal of your permanent Remy hair extensions.
