Buy Human Hair Extensions

The global hair extension market is worth billions — and a large portion of that market sells synthetic or mixed-grade hair to customers who believe they’re getting human hair. Here’s how to tell the difference, and why 100% human Remy hair is the only standard worth buying in Australia.

Human Hair vs Synthetic Extensions — The Key Differences

What Is Remy Human Hair?

Remy hair has all cuticles intact and flowing in the same direction — root to tip, as they grow naturally. Non-Remy “human hair” may contain real human hair strands, but the cuticle directions are randomised or stripped entirely. This causes constant tangling because adjacent strands are fighting each other. Original Diva sells only 100% Remy human hair — on every product, every time.

How to Identify Human Hair Extensions in Australia

• The burn test: Genuine human hair burns slowly, smells like burning hair, and crumbles to ash. Synthetic hair melts quickly into a hard ball and smells synthetic.
• The feel test: Human Remy hair feels consistent from root to tip, both dry and after washing. Silicone-coated hair feels silky initially, then becomes rough after 3–4 washes.
• Ask the supplier directly: 100% Remy? No silicone coating? A reputable Australian supplier will answer both questions without hesitation.
