Remy Couture is the most luxourious, highest quality product available in the Sleek product range next to the Brazilian Hair.
What is Remy Hair?
Remy hair is 100% hair that still has the cuticle intact.
What does "cuticle retention" mean?
The cuticle, or the outermost layer of the hair, is a hard, protein layer that acts as a protective barrier for the softer structure of the hair. The cuticle is the first line of defense against all forms of damage. When the cuticle is damaged, the hair appears dull, tangles easily, and has a rough texture. Cuticle alignment happens when the hair is sewn onto the weft, all the cuticles are running in the same direction in which they would grow naturally-resulting in the hair that remains smooth, tangles less and is full of life.
How does Remy Couture compare to regular remy hair?
With minimal processsing, the rarest, healthiest hair is carefully cuticle aligned and delicately bound together with an intricate technique, ensuring the hair does not come away from its sturdy weft. When securing the hair to the weft, the same lengths of hair are used from top to bottom, providing hair that boasts maximum volume and bounce.
The hair is then specially optimised with nutritional fortification. Exclusive to sleek, this state of the art technique reinforces the cuticles, giving the hair improved strength, increased moisture within the hair shaft, improved elasticity and provides a lasting shine. It means this hair is able to withstand daily use of styling tools and heated appliances.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Keeping your hair extensions moisturised is crucial to keeping them looking good for longer. We recommend you use styling products containing minimal amounts of alcohol and silicone based moisturisers as they reduce tangles and hydrate the hair with out weighing it down. Excessive product use will create build up on the hair and effect its performance. Before styling, gently brush the hair through with a paddle brush (or wide tooth comb for curly styles) working from ends to roots. Lightly wetting the hair and spraying a small amount of leave in conditioner on the ends will help keep the hair hydrated.
At night. gently brush through the hair to get rif of any tangles, add a small amount of hair moisturiser and braid away the hair in one or two sections. Tie your hair with a silk scarf, or sleep on a silk/satin pillow to reduce friction on the hair.
HEAT STYLING
Remy Couture allows for styling flexibility, however heat shortens the life span of the extensions, as it dries the hair out. All heated appliances can be used up to a recommended temperature of 250c. Always use a heat protective product on the hair before applying any heat. Apply moisturisers to the hair once finished.
Avoid using hot stove irons on the hair and do not apply heat directly to the weft.
WASHING
We recommend that you wash your hair extensions a maximum of once per week to avoid product build up, but also because washing causes a slight deterioration in the quality of the hair extensions after each wash.
1. Gently detangle the hair by combing through with a paddle brush (or a wide toothed comb for curly styles), working from ends to roots.
2. Run luke warm water through the hair.
3. Using a mild, highly moisturising shampoo that is pH balanced, gently massage through the hair by squeezing out excess water with your fingers, working your way down the lenght of the hair. Do not rub or twist the hair.
4. Rinse the shampoo out throughly, towel dry, then apply a generous amount of moisture rich conditioner and leave for around 10 minutes. Rinse the hair then pat dry with a towel.
5. Spray leave in conditioner on the hair then leave to air dry.
