What are hair extensions?

Hair extensions are lengths of either human or synthetic hair pieces added to a person's natural hair. You can easily add volume, color and extend your hair without exposing your hair to harsh chemicals commonly found in salon products. Hair extensions have become so popular within the last 5 years that even celebrities such as Jennifer Anniston, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have caught on to this hot new trend. If the right color and length is chosen, hair extensions can give you a completely natural look that will blend right in to your own hair. The best way to achieve this natural look is by using Remy hair extensions.
Choose from 15 different colors to perfectly match the color of your own hair!

Remy Hair
Uses the best hair with cuticles intact and facing the same direction.
Non-Remy hair
Roots and tips of the hairs are all mixed up in non-remy hair because they are collected from
many donors. After several washings, the silicone coating on Non-remy hair usually washes off
and you will be left with raw over-processed hair that will begin to feel dry, brittle and
unmanageable.
OR... Synthetic hair
Sythetic hair is made of a wide array of different synthetic fibers. Synthetic hair does not last
long because it gets quickly damaged by the sun. Synthetic hair will never look as natural as
human hair, as it is stiff and not bouncy at all.
Double Drawn Hair
The finest quality hair with the same wave length in each piece. The hairs are arranged with
equal lengths.
Single Drawn Hair
Hair taken directly from the scalp by shaving the head. Care is taken to remove the very short
hair, with the longer hair sorted in different hair lengths, giving a ponytail-like appearance.
Quality A
An expensive type of weft hair made up of Indian Remy hair. This type of hair is unidirectional
and characterized by double drawn hair, where the whole weave is made up of hairs of the
same length.
Quality B
Made up of special double drawn Remy hair, and is unidirectional. The length of hairs may vary
by up to 1-2 inches.
Quality C
The cuticles are intact and are unidirectional. The entire weave contains hairs of different
lengths.
Indian hair
Indian hair is both thin and strong. The hair is put through an osmosis process where the color
pigment is removed. Then, over a period of several weeks, the color pigment is saturated back
into the hair cuticles with the desired color.
Other Ethnicities
Hair extensions coming from other ethnicities are sometimes more economical, but do not usually
have the same texture or thickness in comparison to Indian, Brazilian or European hair.

Non-Remy Hair with multi-directional hair cuticles
What are “Remy” hair extensions?

“Remy” hair is a name used to describe hair that has come from one donor, with the hair cuticle (the outermost part of the hair strand) in tact and all hairs still aligned in their natural growth pattern. The cuticles protect the hair from being damaged and prevent it from tangling and matting. Remy hair is categorized as the highest grade of real, natural human hair that can be used for wigs or hair extensions.
What type of hair extensions do we use?

The CALIHAIR™ Signature Series uses clip in Indian Remy hair, which is the highest grade of natural human hair used for hair extensions. This type of hair can be treated just like human hair and is easy to snap on and off in minutes to instantly give your hair color, length and fullness. The hair extensions come in machine wefts (of approximately 4 ounces or 110 grams) applied using the CALIHAIR™ patented microlinks technique. Unlike most other hair extensions, CALIHAIR™ extensions have not been exposed to harsh chemical treatments. CALIHAIR™ extensions have been carefully cleaned, conditioned, colored and then groomed in natural herbal oils to retain the hairs' outstanding quality and shine.
