Human Hair Wigs

Human hair is the only wig fibre you can wash, heat-style, colour and wear every day without it going dull. Everything in this collection is 100% Remy human hair — cuticles intact and running in one direction — on an HD lace, glueless cap.

What Remy actually guarantees

Hair has a cuticle layer that lies in one direction, like scales on a fish. In Remy hair every strand is collected and sewn in facing the same way, so the scales lie flat against each other. In non-Remy hair the strands are mixed, the scales catch, and the hair mats at the nape within weeks. That single difference is why one wig lasts a year and another is finished in a month.

Human hair versus synthetic

Synthetic holds a set style with no effort and costs far less, which makes it good for a colour you want to try once or a look you wear occasionally. It cannot take heat, it cannot be dyed, and it develops shine the eye reads as plastic. Human hair takes a flat iron, a curling wand and a colour service, and it moves the way your own hair moves. If you are wearing a wig most days, human hair costs less per wear. Compare the range in synthetic wigs.

What every unit here includes

HD Swiss lace in transparent and medium brown. Pre-plucked hairline with baby hairs laid. Bleached knots so the parting reads as scalp. An adjustable cap with straps at the nape and combs around the perimeter, so no adhesive is needed. Densities from 150% to 250%, lengths from 10 to 40 inches, in straight, body wave, deep wave, curly and kinky straight.

Colouring and heat

You can lift human hair, but go down rather than up where you can — darkening is far more forgiving than bleaching. If you want blonde, buy blonde rather than lifting a jet-black unit at home; see blonde wigs and ombre and coloured. Keep irons under 350°F and always use a heat protectant, because a wig does not repair itself the way growing hair does.

Making it last

Wash every seven to ten wears with a sulphate-free shampoo. Condition the mid-lengths and ends, never the cap. Air dry on a stand. Brush from the ends upward with a loop brush. Sleep in a satin bonnet or with the hair loosely braided. Done consistently, a Remy unit holds its texture and shine for a year or more of regular wear.
