Apo Hair’s Premium Luxury Hair vs. Other Hair Types: Why PL Hair is Worth It

As a hair business owner, are you tired of dealing with extensions that quickly tangle, shed, breakable, or lose their shine? Do your clients return disappointed with hair that just doesn’t hold up to everyday styling and wear? These issues are all too common in the industry, costing you time, money, and customer trust. But what if there was a solution that could solve these problems?

Created from the finest Vietnamese virgin hair, Apo Hair’s Premium Luxury Hair Extensions (PL hair) are designed to overcome these challenges, offering unmatched quality and durability. In this article, we’ll explore why Apo Hair’s PL Hair stands above other hair types on the market and how its quality and durability can transform your business and keep your clients coming back for more.

The Quality Difference: Premium Luxury vs. Remy vs. Non-Remy Hair

Let’s break down the definitions and key characteristics of Premium Luxury (PL), Machine Remy, and Non-Remy hair so you can see how each one performs and why PL hair stands out.

Premium Luxury (PL) Hair

Premium Luxury hair, often made from 100% virgin hair, is considered the highest quality extension you can get. Virgin hair means it’s never been chemically treated, dyed, or processed before, so you’re getting hair that’s completely natural and untouched. Apo Hair’s PL line is known for its unmatched quality, softness, and realistic shine that blends seamlessly with natural hair.

Machine Remy Hair

Machine Remy hair is a widely-used type of hair extension made from hair strands collected in the same direction to maintain a natural look and feel. This hair type features thinner strands with less density, which can affect the overall fullness of hairstyles created with it. Machine Remy hair has a moderate quality as it retains its cuticles, which are aligned in the same direction helping to reduce tangling and frizz to some extent but it may not respond well to intense color treatments, especially when trying to achieve lighter shades.

Non-Remy Hair

Non-Remy hair, on the other hand, is often collected from various sources without keeping the cuticle alignment intact. This hair undergoes chemical processing to prevent tangling, but its lower quality and longevity make it less popular for premium looks. It’s typically cheaper, and with proper care, it can be a good choice for short-term use.

A Detailed Comparison Between PL Hair, Machine Remy Hair, and Non-Remy Hair

Here are some unique qualities of Premium Luxury hair that stand out from Machine Remy and Non-Remy options in the market.

Hair Sourced

PL hair from Apo Hair is typically sourced from 100% Vietnamese virgin hair where women often grow their hair long as part of their cultural traditions. The voluntary donors, usually young women who have maintained their hair with natural care routines, often use herbal treatments and traditional hair care methods, resulting in hair that is strong, thick, and healthy. The hair hasn’t been treated or dyed, preserving its natural strength, texture, and quality. PL hair has every strand aligned with the natural direction of the cuticles, reduces tangling, and helps retain shine. PL hair comes from the highest quality sourcing methods, making it ideal for individuals wanting natural, undamaged hair extensions.

Machine Remy Hair, commonly sourced from countries like India or Pakistan, is collected from various donors and sometimes mixed with lower-quality strands to reduce costs. While this type of hair is still arranged in a consistent direction to minimize tangling, it often undergoes mild processing, including dyeing to a uniform shade, typically black.

Non-Remy Hair – the most economical, collected from salon floors, brushes, or even floors where it’s swept up after haircuts. This collection method results in the strands being unaligned, leading to high chances of tangling and shedding. To make this hair manageable, it goes through chemical treatments to coat the cuticle layers. However, due to its mixed origins, non-Remy hair has a shorter lifespan and can be less consistent in texture and color.

Quality

Quality is the defining feature that sets hair extensions apart. Each of these types comes with distinct characteristics that influence their feel, strength, and appearance.

• PL Hair represents the perfection of quality in the hair extension market. Every strand is chosen to ensure thickness, uniformity, and health, making the extensions lush, full, and incredibly durable. PL Hair has original virgin, not mixed with brown, red, or dyed black, and retains its natural gloss and silky feel over time, far exceeding the typical lifespan of most hair extensions.
• Machine Remy Hair, though decent in quality, often includes chemically processed or mixed strands, which lowers its longevity and softness compared to PL Hair. This type of hair has a good structure but lacks the strength and high-grade shine found in virgin Vietnamese hair.
• Non-Remy hair lacks structural integrity due to misaligned cuticles and chemical treatments, which strip the hair of its natural shine and strength. Non-Remy hair may initially look acceptable, but the hair will quickly decay, becoming prone to dryness and damage due to intensive processing.

Fluffiness and Natural Thickness

Volume and natural thickness are essential to creating a realistic look. These 3 types of hair have widely in this aspect, offering different levels of body and fluffiness.

• When it comes to fullness and volume, PL Hair shines with naturally thick, fluffy strands that offer an authentic, bouncy appearance. This hair has a voluminous structure that allows it to hold styles well and blend seamlessly with natural hair, creating a luxurious, full-bodied look.
• Machine Remy hair can achieve a medium level of fluffiness but often lacks the thickness and body that come effortlessly with PL Hair. Since it may include strands of varying thicknesses, it can appear thinner and flatter over time.
• Non-Remy Hair often does not achieve this thickness. The hair strands are often finer and lack the natural body of PL hair, resulting in a brittle appearance and poor hold.

Durability and Longevity

Durability plays a critical role in the satisfaction of hair extension users, as it determines how long the hair can last and maintain its quality. There will be quite differences between the durability and longevity of each hair type.

• One of the standout qualities of PL Hair is its impressive durability. With proper care, PL hair can last up to 2 years, making it the most durable option out there. Customers can enjoy long-lasting wear with minimal shedding or tangling, making it a worthwhile investment.

• Machine Remy Hair with a cuticle unalignment ratio of 2-3% makes the hair tangled and falls out over time. Machine Remy hair also has a shorter usage time and has some problems with bleaching and dyeing. Normally, this hair can last for several months and up to a year with proper maintenance.

• Non-Remy Hair is the least durable of the three – typically lasting only 1-2 months or less with regular use. It’s quickly showing signs of damage due to its processed and unaligned cuticle structure. This hair requires careful handling and maintenance but still may need frequent replacement as it becomes brittle and loses its aesthetic appeal.

Styling Versatility

Styling versatility can make or break a hair extension experience. Whether it’s color processing or heat styling, each type of hair responds differently, which affects the range of styles you can achieve.

• PL Hair offers exceptional styling versatility, allowing customers to bleach, dye, and style their hair just as they would with natural hair. Its unprocessed state means it responds well to color and heat treatments, maintaining its natural luster and strength throughout the process. You can curl, straighten, and color it without losing its natural integrity. PL hair takes color incredibly well, whether you’re looking to go darker or lighter tone, it will deliver stunning, consistent results, even with the lightest shades that other types may struggle to achieve.

• Machine Remy Hair also offers some styling options but with limitations due to the processing it undergoes. Although it can handle light styling, it may not respond as well to extensive bleaching or dyeing, as this can weaken the hair structure. For coloring, it’s best to stick with darker shades, such as #2 to #4, to minimize potential damage.
• Non-Remy hair may not hold styles as effectively and often requires more effort to maintain. The heavy chemical treatments it undergoes make it difficult to color or heat style without causing significant damage, limiting users to basic looks.
