A LITTLE VIRGIN REMY HAIR HISTORY--Do You Know?
Up until 1940. All faith, no fashion.
All hair donated at temples from devotees is collected and burned. Hair extensions were not invented as of yet.
1941.A missed opportunity
Koreans visit India and discover the huge amounts of hair in temples, and see it as a business opportunity. They request to take the hair off the hands of the temple. The temple agrees since the hair was simply getting wasted.
1940 to 1950.The monopoly of a trend
The Indian hair is being put to good use in Korea, being used for the production of wigs, units, and other hairpieces. They start exporting to the USA and Europe where awareness and demand pick up steam.
1990.A big competetion
Korea begins production in China to remain competitive and keep market share, which results in copycats and the growth of the industry in China. China starts dominating the industry.
2000. An industry boom
Worldwide demand for human hair picks up. Hair extensions are widely accepted, stylists and consumers become slightly more savvy about quality and other important characteristics of human hair, including virgin hair.
2016.Back to our roots
With the saturation of sub-standard and low-quality products, Indian hair is starting to see an uptick. Consumers are becoming more educated and are better understanding the value of a more authentic and pure product.
THE CURRENT STATE OF HAIR
Understanding the different between types of hair makes you an educated and savvy consumer. Knowledge is power.
BE VERY SKEPTICAL
Most hair nowadays, often labeled as “Virgin”, “Remy” is rarely Virgin or Remy. Nearly 90% of all human hair extensions and wigs consist of processed hair from China. It may even be mixed with animal or synthetic fibers. Most suppliers use non-remy hair instead of single drawn hair from one donor. This means they strip the cuticle by soaking the hair in acid, chemically process it for texture, and color it with dyes. They also coat the hair with silicone, which makes it temporarily ‘tangle free' and lustrous, but the silicone washes off quickly and the hair soon becomes dry, stiff, and matted. The hair becomes damaged and too weak to handle heat styling or color applications, they are left looking synthetic and unnatural, and need to be replaced quickly. This hair can often cause severe skin irritation and scalp allergies. We had to tell you.
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
In order for Virgin hair vendors to remain competitive, many vendors market hair as Brazilian, Malaysian, or Cambodian hair. This is a clever marketing tactic that makes the hair appear more exotic and desirable. China imports fallen hair, also referred to as non-remy hair, from India. Fallen hair is dead hair that is collected from hair salons and hair brushes. If you are shopping for extensions, weaves or wigs, watch for Chinese hair masquerading as something else. Today, there are over 9,000 Chinese and Korean-owned beauty supply stores serving a billion dollar market for African American hair. Between manufacturing, distribution and selling hair care products, Chinese and Korean entrepenuers dominate the industry. Be careful about your source, stick to high quality vendors like popiblace for a long-lasting, flexible, and beautiful product.
