New Hair Styles For Women

My hair salon supplier Peter, came to me and asked me if I knew about Remy Hair Extensions and the difference to Temple hair extensions.

When I looked at him quizzically, he proceeded to enlighten me as to the difference. It is a story I would like to recount here.

Peter went on saying that Indian hair is the best hair in the world for hair extensions. In India, women do not have access or the means to have their hair treated or conditioned and use other means at their disposal.

Peter described a life where hair is washed less often and often when it is washed, just rinsed using water, sometimes not that clean water. The hair is covered often in dirt and protected by material wrapped around the hair.

Indian women will grow their hair for years and years, often without applying any chemical treatment whatsoever. This is known as virgin hair, hair in its most natural state that has never had any chemical treatment application to the strands. Often the hair has the cuticles all lying in the same direction and is pristine in condition.

Temple hair is when the Indian women will attend their temple and offer their hair for thanks or purification for their lives and well wishes to families.  The Temple holy person will cut the hair as part of a religous ceremony.

With Remy hair, hair in its virgin state, the finest and best hair known in the world, is often sold overseas for the use of hair extensions for western women. Temple hair is in high demand based upon the fact that Temple hair is often virgin Remy hair.

Indian Temple’s make a lot of money from selling the hair from religous ceremonies and no one can begrudge them of this, due to the upkeep of the Temples and the services they provide to Indian people and the local communities.

When it comes to wearing hair extensions, some women might not like this idea, but other women, through necessity, need to utilise the services of the hair salon to fit the hair extension in place.

Woman who suffer illness, premature thinning of the hair or the result of harsh medical treatment, such as cancer treatments, often turn to hair extensions to maintain their beauty and to feel like a woman during stressful times.

Because Remy hair, or more importantly Temple hair, is of the highest quality, you will find the cost of adding hair extensions to be quite high. The high cost can be offset by knowing that this type of hair extension will be in its most natural state, it is a thicker strand and will last for a very long time.

So, thanks to Peter, we now know the difference of Remy and Temple hair when used for hair extensions.
