When shopping for hair extensions, you’ll likely come across terms like “Remy Hair” and “Human Hair”—but what do they really mean? Many brands use these labels loosely, sometimes even misleading customers into believing they’re getting true Remy quality when they’re not.
At Foxy Locks, we believe in 100% transparency, and we offer both Remy and Human Hair extensions to cater to different needs and budgets. Let’s break down the real differences so you can choose the best option for you.
What is Remy Hair?
Remy hair is the highest quality of human hair extensions because the hair cuticles remain intact and aligned in the same direction. This prevents tangling, extends the lifespan, and gives the hair a naturally soft, silky appearance.
✔ Cuticles remain intact and aligned → Less tangling & longer lifespan
✔ Silky, smooth texture → Looks and moves like natural hair
✔ Lasts up to 1 year with proper care
Fact: True Remy hair is more expensive because it is collected and processed with extreme care. If you see “Remy” hair being sold at a very low price, it’s not genuine Remy quality.
For those looking for long-term investment hair, our Seamless & Invisible Remy Extensions offer unmatched luxury and durability.
What is Human Hair?
Human Hair extensions are also made from 100% real hair, but unlike Remy hair, the cuticles may not all be aligned.
✔ 100% Real Human Hair → Soft, natural look & feel
✔ Affordable & beautiful → Great for those who want quality on a budget
✔ Can be styled with heat & washed just like your own hair
✔ Lifespan: 3-6 months with proper care
Our Human Hair Lace Weft Extensions provide gorgeous volume and length at a more accessible price point, making them a great option for those who love to switch up their look more frequently.
Why Do Some Brands Mislabel Hair as "Remy"?
Unfortunately, many brands mislabel their standard human hair as “Remy” to dupe customers into buying from them.
The reality is:
❌ True Remy hair is expensive → If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is
❌ Some companies strip the cuticles & add a silicone coating → Hair may feel smooth at first, but won’t last as long
❌ Mass production can mix different hair types → Lower-quality strands may be included in so-called “Remy” bundles
At Foxy Locks, we never mislead our customers.
We proudly offer:
Seamless & Invisible Remy Hair Extensions – For those who want the ultimate, long-lasting luxury
Premium Human Hair Lace Wefts – A more budget-friendly option that still delivers gorgeous, natural results
Both options are 100% human hair, allowing you to style, curl, and straighten them just like your own.

✅ Choose Remy Hair if you want long-lasting, premium quality with minimal tangling and up to a year of wear
✅ Choose Human Hair if you want a beautiful, natural look at a more affordable price, perfect for regular but shorter-term wear
No matter which you choose, Foxy Locks guarantees top-quality hair - never misleading labels, just beautiful results.
