The first step in determining if Remy hair extensions are truly Remy, with cuticles and prepared root to tip, is to examine the roots, mid-shaft and ends of the hair fiber. It is fairly normal for cuticles to be missing or worn down near the ends of the hair strands, but thick and healthy near the roots.
You may be on a budget and think... well this hair is super cheap and probably isn't remy... but it should be OK... you will just brush it a bit more... right?... wrong!
Non-remy hair is a girls worst nightmare and something you NEVER want to deal with side effects of applying vicks on hair
