When washing Brazilian Remy, any other so-called Virgin Brazilian hair, if you see a black dye coming out, then you can be very sure that it is not truly Julia virgin hair. Some companies that sell hair claim that the hair they sell is virgin when it is actually not. There are a number of brands out there in the market that claim to sell Virgin Remy hair and attach a heavy price tag to it. It, therefore, becomes important for you to make sure that you know how to tell if Brazilian hair is real.

Real Remy Hair – What Is It

Remy refers to the hair chosen from a single donor after first taking into consideration its root end. The cuticles remain intact with each strand of hair facing the same direction. Frequently, Remy hair is also known by the name “cuticle hair”. To put it in simple terms, virgin hair is the hair that is not subjected to any kind of processing or treatment. This means that the hair has not been treated with chemicals including perm, relaxer, silicone dyes as well as colors. Thus, the purest form of hair available is Virgin Remy and the unprocessed hair has its cuticles intact.

You can never be sure of the authenticity of the hair that you purchase, if you are not buying Brazilian Virgin Remy hair from the Julia hair online stores. Another aspect that you need to look for is the color designation of hair – #2, #1B, etc. – to make sure that you are buying Virgin Remy hair. This is because it is neither colored nor treated and is available in natural black as well as brown color. Often, color labels are provided on packages, if hair has been dyed and treated to bring it to the required shade.

Fake Brazilian Hair, Real Brazilian Hair – How To Tell The Difference

The first test, therefore, that you can carry out to find out whether the hair claimed to be Virgin Remy hair is correct or not is the color. The virgin Brazilian Hair will always have the donor’s hair color. The color may range from natural black to browns. However, most often it is medium brown and lighter than the hair designated as #1B that you buy from a store. Another aspect is that the color of the entire bunch of hair is not likely to be uniform. This is because natural highlights (both darker and lighter) of the primary color can be present. Moreover, you will generally find grey hair strands in the package.

The second test that you can carry out to determine if the hair you want to buy is genuine Virgin Brazilian Remy or not is by looking at the grade and texture of the hair. Virgin Brazilian Remy will not be extremely straight or silky. Hair that is not virgin is generally subjected to silicone treatment and chemical straightener coating. This gives hair a silky and straight appearance. You will be able to get a feeling of the coating, if you run your fingers through hair that is not actually virgin hair.
