About Ugeat Hair: Remy vs. Virgin vs. Virgin+

When choosing the right hair extensions, it’s essential to understand the differences between the various types available. At Ugeat Hair, we offer three types of premium hair extensions: Remy, Virgin, and Virgin+. Each of these hair types has unique characteristics that cater to different needs, preferences, and budgets.
In this blog, we’ll provide a detailed comparison of these three types of hair, discussing their features, differences, longevity, and ideal users. We’ll also answer some frequently asked questions to guide you in making the right choice.

 

What Is Remy Hair?

Remy Hair is made from 100% real human hair that has been processed to keep the hair cuticles aligned in the same direction. Although it’s collected from different donors, Remy hair retains most of the hair scales, ensuring a smooth texture and minimal tangling. This type of hair undergoes light processing, which makes it more affordable compared to Virgin hair extensions, but still maintains good quality.

Characteristics of Remy Hair:

• The cuticles are aligned in the same direction, which helps reduce tangling and maintains smoothness.
• Can be dyed from light to dark shades, offering versatility in color choices.
• More affordable than Virgin and Virgin+ hair, making it a good choice for those on a budget.

Lifespan of virgin hair:

• Remy hair extensions typically last around 3-6 months with proper care. Clip-ins, which are easy to install and remove, can last longer if handled gently.

Ideal for:

• People who want high-quality, natural-looking extensions at a more affordable price.
• Individuals who frequently change their hairstyle or color and need extensions that are versatile but cost-effective.

 

What Is Virgin Hair?

Virgin Hair is unprocessed human hair that has never been exposed to any chemical treatments like dyeing, bleaching, or perming. The hair is sourced from one or two donors, ensuring that the cuticles are intact and running in the same direction. Virgin hair retains a higher percentage of natural cuticles, making it more durable and long-lasting compared to Remy hair.

Characteristics of Virgin Hair:

• Completely natural and untreated, with 90% of the hair scales intact.
• Can be dyed from light to dark shades without damaging the hair.
• Higher quality than Remy hair, as it retains more natural properties.
• The natural state of the hair gives it a more authentic and smooth appearance.

Lifespan of virgin hair:

• Virgin hair extensions can last between 8 to 12 months with proper care, lasting up to three times longer than Remy hair.

Ideal for:

• Those looking for the highest quality hair that remains natural and flexible.
• Individuals who want hair extensions that can be styled, dyed, and customized without compromising quality or longevity.

 

What Is Virgin+ Hair? 

Virgin+ Hair is the highest quality hair available, featuring hair with all cuticles intact and no peeling. The hair is sourced from healthy adult donors, ensuring the best quality raw materials. Virgin+ hair requires minimal processing, allowing it to preserve the natural cuticle structure. This hair type is ideal for people who want premium quality extensions that offer the most durability and natural appearance.

Characteristics of Virgin+ Hair:

• 100% natural hair with all cuticles intact and no damage.
• Retains its original structure and strength, offering superior quality compared to both Remy and Virgin hair.
• Requires almost no processing, maintaining the hair’s natural vitality and smoothness.
• Offers the highest level of protection for the cuticles, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Lifespan of virgin+ hair:

• Virgin+ hair can last 12 months or more with proper care, making it the longest-lasting option of the three.

Ideal for:

• Individuals who want the best quality hair available and are willing to invest in long-lasting extensions.
• People who prefer minimal maintenance and want extensions that look and feel as natural as their own hair.
