Remy hair
Its defining features are an intact cuticle and the manner in which it was harvested.
The cuticle is the hair’s naturally occurring scale-like protective layer on the outside of the hair shaft. It helps to protect the inner cortex by locking in moisture and colour. A healthy cuticle also ensures that the hair remains super soft, shiny, silky and tangle-free throughout its lifetime.
Remy hair is collected directly from the growers head to ensure the cuticle direction remains intact. During processing extra care must be taken to ensure all the cuticle remains in the same direction as if cuticle rubs in opposing directions, tangles can occur.
Non-remy hair is loose hair collected from various sources including salon floors and brushes. Since it would be impossible to ensure all the cuticle was going in the same direction, the hair is stripped of all cuticle and has a silicone layer added as a replacement. This layer wears off after 6-10 washes leaving the exposed cortex which results in knotty, dry hair which can never be repaired.
The Natural Wig only uses 100% Remy Human Hair.

Zero Impact®
Several years ago, with the collaboration of LifeGate, Davines adopted a Zero Impact® policy (carbon-neutral) for the packaging of the Oi and More Inside product lines.
By adhering to LifeGate’s Zero Impact® Project the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the production of the packaging for these lines are offset by the purchasing of carbon credits generated by operations of forests’ creation and protection in Italy, Costa Rica and Madagascar, as established by the Kyoto Protocol.
Accordingly, Davines helps developing the vegetation required to restore oxygen that is extracted from the environment.
Davines, one of the first Italian cosmetic brands to have joined the Zero Impact® projects, has already contributed to offsetting the emissions of 33.558,272 kg (7.828,198 lbs) of CO2.
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary from the project beginning, LifeGate has honored Davines with the title of Zero Impact® Ambassador 2014 , because of the Company great commitment in the project.
The Natural Wig firmly believes in fair trade and sustainability.
All our hair is gathered ethically, while always paying at a fair and reasonable rate helping to achieve better trading conditions and to promote sustainability.
We recommend the use of Davines products for their superior quality and sustainable approach to making all their products.
