Hair Quality, Hair Type and Hair Texture, What’s the Difference

Updated: Feb 14, 2020


Hair Quality, Hair Type and Hair Texture are still a very popular topic of discussion. Even though these terms have been around for years, we’ve found that some people are still having a difficult time understanding the difference between them. Many of you have asked, “What’s Remy, non-Remy, or mixed human hair?, What’s virgin hair? Is Virgin hair Remy hair?, What’s Indian, Brazilian, Malaysian, etc.?, What’s Straight, Body Wave, Curly, etc.?” What does all this really mean?

We know the answers to these questions can be confusing, but hopefully we can clarify the difference between Hair Quality, Hair Type, and Hair Texture, Remy, Non-Remy, Virgin Remy to help you to become more familiar with the terminology.


What is Hair Quality?

Hair quality refers to the quality of the hair. Here are the most popular human hair quality available for wigs, hair systems and extensions.


Remy Human Hair – Remy hair is regarded as the best of the best… the highest-quality! It’s a 100% human hair, the cuticles are intact which means the strands face the same direction from root to tip and usually comes from one single donor to a small few. Intact cuticles lay flat and protect the hairs, which gives it that smooth and sleek look, and Remy hair is less likely to knot and tangle.

Remy refers to the quality and grade of the hair. It’s 100% human hair, which usually comes from donors ranging from one single donor to a small few straight from the scalp. Since it is real human hair, it can be washed, dyed, cut, and styled with or without heat styling tools like natural hair.


Virgin Remy Hair – Virgin Remy human hair is unprocessed natural human hair that has never been dyed, colored, permed, or chemically processed. And, there’s a chance that virgin Remy hair has never been exposed to blow dryers or other heated styling tools. Virgin human hair is the best hair if you’re looking for the best quality hair. Please note, all virgin human hair is not equal. Know your source.


Non-Remy Human Hair - Now that we’ve defined Remy hair and Virgin Remy hair, Non-Remy hair is not a good hair choice for everyday wear and longevity. Unlike Virgin Remy hair, Non-Remy hair may or may not have its cuticles intact, is collected from multiple donors and sometimes it may include fallen strands pulled from other sources. As a result, Non-Remy hair may cause the hair to flow in different directions, therefore increasing the chances for the hair to tangle and mat.


What is Hair Type?

Hair type refers to the type of hair you want, Indian, Brazilian, European, Malaysian, etc.


What is Hair Texture:

Hair texture refers to the texture is available in three primary textures, straight, wavy or curly. Wavy or Curly hair can be a tight or loose wave/curl or somewhere in between. Straight hair can be silky straight, straight, or a kinky straight texture.
