The Truth About Remy Hair and Single-Donor Extensions
Remy hair is typically sourced from multiple donors and heavily processed to look smooth and shiny. That shine fades fast, leaving hair dry, tangled, and difficult to manage. Many bundles are blended with synthetic fibers or lower-quality hair to appear fuller and longer, yet are still sold as “100% human hair.”
​
What is lower-quality hair?
​
Lower-quality hair is often swept from salon floors or collected from brushes, then bundled with zero care. Strands are mixed in every direction, with some root-to-tip and others tip-to-root. This chaos makes the cuticles rub against each other, causing matting, tangling, and breakage. It is still human hair, but poorly handled, weak, and far from luxury quality.
​
Transparency in the hair extension industry is rare. Most customers don’t know where their hair comes from, how it’s processed, or what’s actually in the bundle. The reason is simple: true transparency would kill margins. If customers knew what the hair was blended with, how heavily it was processed, and where it actually came from, most wouldn’t pay luxury prices.
​
At Glam Fairy, we do it differently.​
​
Every strand tells a story. Ethically sourced, naturally strong, and carefully processed, our extensions preserve shine, movement, and a soft, silky texture, with hair that looks, feels, and behaves like real hair.
​
Ethically Sourced Hair
​
Our extensions come from rural regions in Russia, where women voluntarily sell their hair at fair, respectful prices. Each bundle is carefully collected to preserve its natural texture and integrity. By sourcing responsibly, we support the families behind the hair while ensuring every strand meets our high-quality standards.

Individually Hand-Dyed for Custom Results
Every bundle is coloured in-house by our expert team for fully customized, radiant results. Highlights, lowlights, and blended tones are artfully combined within a single strand, eliminating the need for multiple colour orders. For optimal quality, we prioritize natural blonde donors and, when necessary, gently lighten hair under carefully controlled conditions to preserve its health and integrity.
