To simply put, the term ‘remy’ is often referred to specify those hair that is derived from a single hair donor. Widely remy hair is known as the cuticle hair because in them, the cuticles run in the same downward direction. Whereas the term ‘virgin’ signifies those hair which is not subjected to any type of processing. Virgin hair does not comprise of any chemicals including silicones, colours and even dyes.

With a number of Indian hair company offering all types of hair, it becomes difficult to find the authentic virgin remy hair in the market. But don’t you worry! We’ve jotted down a few major determinants that will help you out to grab the finest virgin hair.

Here’re the things  that you should keep in mind before getting your hands at the virgin remy hair:

• Colour: One of the foremost things that should catch your eyes when it comes to virgin remy Indian hair is its colour. Virgin remy hair is not subject to any kind of chemical or artificial treatment which keeps their colour intact. Thus, if you say that the colour of this type of hair is actually the natural hair texture and colour of the donor, then you cannot be more right. Generally, you can find the virgin Indian hair in either natural brown or black colour. Before purchasing the hair bundles, look for uniformity in colour across the bundles. Don’t forget that virgin hair is neither processed nor dyed. There’s a simple trick to detect the unauthentic remy hair.  Search for the colour labels that are often printed on the packages. If you find one such label, then it’s time that you rush to an established Indian hair company.
• Hair grade and texture: Do a small test to determine the grade and texture of virgin remy Indian hair. As surprising as it may sound but virgin hair is not extraordinarily silky or straight. It is actually the non-virgin hair which is blanketed with a chemical straightener. This is because of its silicone treatment that this type of hair exhibits a silky and straight look. When you’ll slide your fingers up and down the non-virgin hair, you can feel the smoothness of the surface. On the other hand, virgin hair has a rough and harsh texture that closely resembles the skin tone of a woman.  Compare the hair grade and texture of various hair extensions before settling for any kind of hair.
• Wetness Test: One of the major determinants of authenticity of virgin Indian hair that probably nobody would tell you about is the wetness test. Wetness test enables you to easily draw a quick distinction between virgin and non-virgin Remy hair. Often, non virgin hair tends to get heavy when dipped in water whereas on exposure to water, the natural texture and curls of the virgin hair remains intact. Contrarily, on drying  the virgin hair carries lesser weight as compared to its previous mass. This is not a miracle or something but this is because the dirt and grease gets washed away by water. Don’t form an opinion that the hair that turns wavy or curly when wet is essentially the virgin hair. You’ll be surprised to know that there is a variety of wet as well as wavy hair out there that does not fall in either virgin or Remy category. Be aware of them!
