KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REMY & SYNTHETIC

The extensions at SKR hair are all made from Remy Hair. This hair is 100% human and has the reputation of being the highest quality hair in the world. We have created a quick guide to highlight the difference between premium Remy and lower quality synthetic.

Styling

Real human hair extensions can be treated in exactly the same way as your own hair. When left to dry naturally, real human hair extensions dry with the same natural kink or wave that most people's hair dries with. There are no restrictions with styling and both straightening irons and curling tongs can be used freely.

Synthetic hair extensions will typically melt if heated with straightening irons, curling tongs or hot rollers. However, synthetic hair comes in a variety of textures, from curls, spirals and soft waves to straight. And, unlike human hair, humidity will not affect it as the style is 'set' into the hair and with care can last for days.

Longevity

Human hair will last longer than synthetic. Depending on the quality of care given to the extensions, they may last between 6 to 12 months. Synthetic hair extensions are a lower quality and even with good care will only last between 1 to 3 months.

These durations are estimates and will vary according to the quality of care and also the type of products used on the extensions.
