What do famous celebrities like Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lopez and Tyra Banks have in common? They all love to wear lace wigs. This is the ideal fashion statement in Hollywood. Although it use to be only available to a few celebrities due to its cost, they are now becoming more easily obtained by the general public.

This is considered the newest trend as the top hair replacement option. It's safe and painless compared to other hair extensions and replacement methods and provides you with the opportunity to have the ideal hair without going through processing with the use of harmful chemicals.

Deliberations have been made on which material is the best for lace wigs. The price of these units is primarily based on the kind of hair used, and other imperative details such as style and length. Though synthetic hair is also an option, real human hair is still on the top of the list. Real human hair is smooth and fine in texture, providing you with that natural look, which would go unnoticeable. The debate is now focused on whether the wigs made of virgin hair is better than those made out of Remy hair.

Let us first briefly differentiate the two hair types. Virgin hair is known as hair that has never been chemically treated. If it has not been dyed, bleached or straightened, then it's considered virgin hair. Remy hair on the other hand, is considered the highest-grade human hair and the most affordable, commonly used for wigs and hair extensions.

It can be found in many parts of the globe, but the most common is the Indian Remy hair. The most distinctive difference is the Virgin hair still has its cuticles attached to the hair, single-handedly collected from the donor. The Remy hair can be called a virgin Remy hair, if no treatments were applied during the process. However, it is sometimes treated to achieve another color or style.

Compared to other kinds of lace wigs, the unprocessed hair's appearance is smoother, shinier and even more natural than regular human hair. It is also easier to manage since it doesn't tangle when washed. However, no matter what kind of unit you choose, proper care must be done in order to maintain the quality. Especially for processed hair, since it's more likely to tangle and shed after a few washes.
