The term virgin hair or virgin remy hair may be heard a lot but some may not know what virgin remy hair actually is or why it is more expensive.

Non-remy hair is typically left over donor hair that may be gathered from floors of salons and so forth. Remy hair may not always be virgin hair, so if virgin remy hair is being sought, ensure that there are certifications stating what kind of hair is about to be purchased.
