I remember watching Oprah discuss Virgin Remy Indian Hair. I dug up a video to share with you that shows Oprah discussing with a documentary maker where the hair in India comes from and the true story behind it. The revelations are just fascinating. I watched the whole show when it broadcasted but thought ‘Hey why not share this lovely video with the blog readers’
It also happens that Chris Rock is involved in the making of a documentary on where all the hair weaves come from. I cracked up at his comment that the people in india are so poor “I don’t think they know they are walking with $1,000 on their heads”
In this video I like how the Indian woman who has just gotten her head shaved asks why anyone else would buy them…Did they not have their own hair… It is with such true humility that she says “God can do whatever He wants with it (the donated hair)”
Turns out only 25% of the hair come from women who sacrifice it to the gods at the temples. This is live hair and much much more valuble while the remaining 75% from women who sell their hair. This is known as the dead market, where they collect collect all the hair that is accumulated on their combs and then sorted out. This type of hair doesn’t have the full cuticles so is not valuable
Absolutely lovely video & dont you just love Oprah.
Virgin Remy Indian hair is never coloured so the natural colour will vary from black to dark brown, so opt for the natural states as there wont be specific colour codes for this type of hair. You can then style it however you please, should you want it a particular colour or texture or combination of colour variations.
Tip 2:
Most hair have various colour shades but never one flat colour so for a more natural look and better depth of colour, try slight combinations with the help of a good stylist.
Tip 3:
If you use a lot of hair products, wash your hair thoroughly as build of products leads to quality degradation. Use good quality shampoo and conditioner such as the popular Virgin Remy Indian hair products found here.
Ammonia based products break down hair cuticles leading to shedding and tangling so it is suggested you use a leave in conditioner to tackle this problem. This leave in hydrates hair by deeply penetrating and moisturising dull hair.
Avoid heavy styling products such as hair sprays as they make your hair limp and greasy with regular use.
Your morning routine should involve a certain recommended hair combing or brushing procedure, wherein you bend your head and gently brush your hair from the hair ends towards your scalp to make your extensions last longer.
Before going to bed, ensure your hair is completely dry and you could even wrap your hair in a scarf. Sleeping in wet hair is not recommended as it mattes hair making it difficult to style it the way you’d like.

When talking "Virgin Remy Indian Hair" there are some murky waters to wade through so let's debunk some myths and clear it all for you.
MYTH:
Silky soft superfine hair is the best quality.
FACT:
Thin yet strong hair is the best quality. This type of hair can then be made to look sleek straight with oils, conditioners and flat ironing.
Why Virgin Remy Indian Hair Is The Most Sought After:
Highest grade of human hair available in todays market
Matches a variety of hair types, textures, colours & styles
Durability and flexibility as it is naturally thick and lustrous
The largest exporter of human hair in the world is India, with Indian women offering their hair as a sacrifice to Hindu deities. This donation process is part of a sacred ritual known as Tonsouring, during which gathered widows (update: it is not just widows but other Indian women too) go through an organized process of having their heads shaved out of gratitude for the blessings in their life.
ETHICALLY SOURCING INDIAN HAIR:
Indian women are not kept in the dark about their hair being sold or exploited in any way because were it not for the hair market, their hair would’ve been wasted and burnt like they did in the earlier days. Think of it as a recycling process as these women would’ve continued to donate hair were you to buy from them or not, as it is part of their religious tradition. The temples then sell these to the highest bidders and use this money as charity benefits for the poor providing them with education, healthcare, food and clothing. This hair collection, selling and buying process creates community job opportunities providing the poor with an income therefore the Virgin Remy Indian Hair industry is supporting poor Indians. All hair sold at World Hair Extensions for high quality Virgin Remy Indian Hair are completely ethical.
HOW IS THE HAIR CUT & WHAT HAPPENS ONCE ITS DONATED:
Collection Process:
Virgin Remy Indian Hair is collected by holding the hair in a ponytail fashion, straight from the lady’s head so that the hair doesn’t fall on the floor. This is how the cuticle quality is maintained, ensuring that they all stay aligned. Since it runs in the same direction, it will not get tangled which leaves no reason for collectors to strip off the cuticles with chemicals in order to make them look attractive.
Now that you’ve begin to understand why the collection process is so important, you will be able to place value on Virgin / Remy / Synthetic hair.
After its cut:
In its most natural form, it goes through a thorough cleaning and drying process under stringent quality control, under very hygienic conditions.
Virgin Remy Indian Hair has never been colored, permed, straightened or chemically treated in any way.
You can then choose from a versatile range of textures from sleek straight, slight wave, deep wave to different types of curly. You can also take your pick different black & brown colour shades.
After the ceremonious sacrificial head shaving and hair processing & packaging, it makes it way to you via merchants that sell online or through beauty salons.
Country comparison:
Other countries also contribute like from China, Malaysia, Russia, Brazil and Ukraine but the volume of collected hair generated is not as much as India or as consistent as Indian hair auctions, added to which the premium Indian hair quality is incomparable.
INTERESTING FACTS:
~In major temples, per week 50,000 women visit to have their heads shaved.
~ Over a ton of hair is collected in some temples on some days.
Large amounts are collected because Indian women generally grown their hair to long lengths which is why they are the largest exporters.
