Where does Virgin, Full Cuticle Remy Hair come from?
The best Virgin Remy comes from India, although Europe also produces full cuticle hair as well. European hair, while expensive, is not in high demand, due to its fragile strength, lack of texture, and scarce availability. The majority of European hair is procured from Russia, as well as the Eastern European countries. Indian remy is in the highest demand, because of its natural body and texture, fullness, seamless blending and versatility with both ethnic and European hair textures, strength and durability, low cost, and constant availability. The majority of the hair exported from India comes from temple contractors who collect the hair from the temples (esp. in Tirupati), where those of the Hindu faith sacrifice their hair as an offering to the Gods. Bulk and raw hair is a major Indian export, and contributes significantly to their economy. As for the other varieties such as “Brazilian Remy,” Argentinean, South American, and North African – most of this is a misleading marketing ploy
