Technological advancements and improvements in the hair care industry have made extensions more accessible and versatile than ever before.

Over the years, designers have crafted a wide range of extensions, catering to various hair types and concerns. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the world of Cashmere Hair extensions, exploring their unique features and what sets them apart from the competition.

What is Remy Hair?

Remy hair stands as the standard of human hair quality for extensions. Unlike regular hair, where the cuticles are stripped and the hair follicles grow in different directions, Remy hair maintains the integrity of its cuticles. Each hair strand grows in a single direction, preserving its natural texture and cuticle alignment.

Remy human hair is considered to be the finest quality of human hair.

Remy hair is collected in a method in which all hair strands stay aligned in the natural direction as it grew (i.e. holding the hair in a ponytail and cutting), top at top, and ends at ends, to maintain the natural texture pattern and cuticle direction. This reduces friction between the strands thus reducing the tangling in the hair, commonly found in non-Remy or low quality hair.

Remy hair appears more healthy, soft and silky. The hair is only lightly processed, maintining its intergirty and undamaged. Some companies claim to sell 100% Remy Hair, but are mixing anywhere between 10-40% Non-Remy hair into their packs. Remy hair has a silky feeling when you touch it, non experts probably will not be able to tell the difference by looking at it, but after 2 to 3 weeks of wear, when that hair starts to matte up you will know it’s not Remy. Cashmere Hair extensions are always made with the highest quality of Remy Human Hair.

What is Double-Drawn Hair?

Cashmere Hair is also double-drawn. Double-drawn hair is hair that comes from multiple donors. The hair is carefully picked from multiple donors to ensure that the majority of the hair (about 80-90%) is the same length. This process makes double-drawn hair more expensive than single-drawn hair because it takes more time and effort to sift through the hair and match the lengths.

Cashmere Hair is Minimally Processed

How is it minimally processed, and what does that mean? Our gentle dyeing process preserves the hair’s integrity, resulting in gorgeous color and long-lasting hair. Other brands use rapid dyeing processes that involve heavy acids and chemicals, causing significant damage to the hair. Instead, our dyeing process is extremely slow, which is the least damaging to the hair and ensures the healthiest quality. This allows your hair extension to look its best for the longest time.

We take the quality of our product very seriously, which is why we set ourselves apart from other companies on a completely different level of quality and authenticity. We have our strands laboratory tested and certified to be 100% Cuticle human hair, the highest quality available.

We never need to mask the harsh chemical process by using silicone, because we don't use a harsh chemical process! This technique is used to disguise the bad quality of the hair to make it feel silky when you first purchase it. After a few shampoos you might notice that the coating comes off, and true nature of the quality is revealed.

What makes Cashmere Hair clips so different? Sometimes underestimated, clips play an important role in the comfort, durability, and safety of clip-in hair extensions. No matter the quality of the hair, the quality of the clips play a major factor in the length of time you can wear your clip-ins, the comfort level, and how well they stay put. Cashmere Hair's clips are small, Silicone coated, and painted for maximum comfort & safety.
