What Is Remy Hair?
You’ve probably heard the word Remy thrown around in salons or online shops, but what does it really mean?
Remy hair is human hair that’s been collected with all cuticles aligned in the same direction—from root to tip—just like how it grows on your own head. That alignment is key to keeping the hair smooth, shiny, and tangle-free.
Think of it like roof tiles: when all the cuticles face the same way, water (or in this case, your hairbrush) just glides right over.
Remy vs Non-Remy Hair: What’s the Difference?
🔹 Cuticle Alignment
Remy: All strands aligned in one direction (from root to tip)
Non-Remy: Mixed directions, often collected from the floor
🔹 Tangling & Shedding
Remy: Minimal with proper care
Non-Remy: High risk of matting and tangling
🔹 Lifespan
Remy: 6–12 months or more with good maintenance
Non-Remy: A few weeks to a couple of months
🔹 Look & Feel
Remy: Soft, smooth texture with natural shine
Non-Remy: Can feel dry, look dull or overly processed
🔹 Price & Value
Remy: Higher upfront cost, but much better long-term value
Non-Remy: Cheaper to buy, but needs replacing more often
Pro Tip: Non-Remy hair often looks great at first—thanks to a heavy silicone coating—but it doesn't last. After a few washes, it can turn dry, matte, and matted. You’ll end up paying more in the long run for replacements.
Why We Use Remy Grade 15A Hair
At Get The Hair, we only use Grade 15A double drawn Remy hair, which means:
✅ Cuticles fully intact

✅ Long-lasting softness
✅ Professional salon-standard
This is premium, long-lasting hair built for stylists and serious clients—no fluff, no fakery. 1-2 Years but can last up to 3 years with proper aftercare.
How to Spot Real Remy Hair (And Avoid Getting Duped)
Here’s what to look for when shopping around:
Does it feel too silky? Might be coated in silicone to hide bad quality
Do ends look thin? Could be single drawn or mixed with non-Remy
Is the price too good to be true? Often means synthetic or mixed-source
Does the supplier explain how it’s sourced? No transparency = red flag
Still unsure? Our team can match your perfect shade and confirm if the hair you’re looking at is the real deal — just drop us a DM or email.
