OG Hair Care

The OG Ponytail is Remy Hair

OG Ponytail extensions are made with 100% Remy human hair, which means they can be washed and styled just like your own natural hair. 

Remy hair is considered to be the finest quality of human hair because the outermost layer of the hair, known as cuticles, are kept intact and not stripped, like in most other non-remy hair extensions. Preserving the hairs’ cuticles and aligning them in a unidirectional fashion creates extensions that are completely natural in appearance. This process also ensures that the hair remains super soft, shiny, silky and relatively tangle-free throughout its lifetime. All our OG ponytails are sourced and manufactured in China.

When cared for correctly, human hair can remain healthy and in good condition for years and years. However, because hair extensions are no longer attached to the scalp, the hair isn’t getting the natural nutrients and oils that it needs to flourish. Because of this, hair extensions generally last for 6-12 months before needing to be replaced.

Of course, this is only a guide, and if you follow the recommended maintenance and aftercare instructions, could see your OG Ponytail hair lasting considerably longer.

How to Care for Your OG Ponytail

Washing
Wash your OG Ponytail only when needed, usually when you can feel excess product build up such as hairspray or styling products. Before washing, gently brush out any tangles. Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo designed for color-treated or dry hair. Apply the shampoo to your OG, lightly massaging the hair. Rinse the OG then apply conditioner and massage it into the OG. Rinse with lukewarm water.

Drying
Pat your OG Ponytail dry with a towel, and allow it to air dry whenever possible. Avoid rubbing or wringing the hair to preserve its smooth texture.

Styling
Before using any hot styling tools, be sure to apply a heat protectant. Avoid products that contain alcohol, as these can dry out the hair and affect its shine.

Storage
When not in use, store your OG Ponytail in a cool, dry place using the provided OG sating bag. The OG satin bag is a breathable bag designed to protect your OG from dust and dirt.

 

Why OG Choose Remy Hair for Our OG Ponytail?

At OG Ponytail, we use ethically sourced 100% Remy human hair from Europe and Asia to ensure that every ponytail looks, feels, and moves just like your natural hair.

Why Remy Hair is the Best Choice

Natural Look and Feel: Since the cuticles remain intact and face the same direction, Remy hair looks incredibly natural. It moves like your own hair and blends seamlessly with your natural locks.

Tangle-Free: Remy hair stays tangle-free longer because the cuticles are aligned. This reduces frizz and matting, making it easier to style and maintain.

Soft and Shiny: Remy hair maintains its softness and natural shine, even after washing and styling.

Long-Lasting: With proper care, Remy hair can last much longer than synthetic hair, providing you with a durable, high-quality extension that looks gorgeous every day.

By choosing OG Ponytail with premium Remy hair, you’re getting the highest quality clip-in extension available, designed to blend flawlessly with your natural hair while providing comfort, style, and durability.

 

What is Remy Hair?

Remy hair is collected, processed, and packaged with great care to preserve the integrity of the hair's natural cuticle. This means the hair is kept in its natural direction, resulting in a silky, tangle-free, and smooth texture.

The Process:

Collection: Remy hair is donated by women; donors choose between a hair thinning or cutting service which gives them a shorter style. Their heads are not shaved. The hair is carefully collected from ponytails, ensuring that the cuticles are preserved in their natural direction.

Processing: The hair is separated by length, color, and texture. It is then carefully cleaned, untangled, and dried, ensuring no damage to the cuticle.

Packaging: After processing, the hair is tied together, machine-sewn, sorted, and packed for export, ensuring that it reaches you in the best possible condition.

 

Why is Remy Hair More Expensive?

Cost: The process of collecting Remy hair is both time-consuming and expensive, which is reflected in the higher price of the final product. While Remy human hair extensions are an investment, they are often considered the finest quality on the market. This makes them well worth the price if you're looking for long-lasting, luxurious hair that truly elevates your look.

Important Tip: Be cautious of fraudsters and scammers. If you come across alleged Remy ponytails being sold at an unusually low price, they are likely to be a blend or fake. Quality Remy hair is an investment, so it's important to choose reputable sources.

 

Can I Dye or Bleach My Remy Hair Extensions?

Many wonder if Remy hair extensions can be dyed or bleached, especially since it’s common for those with extensions to want to experiment with different shades or match their natural color. While Remy extensions are available in a variety of colors, some may find that the shades on offer don’t quite match their unique, natural hair.

The great news is that Remy hair extensions are made from 100% human hair, meaning they can be safely dyed, and toned, unlike synthetic hair, which lacks the durability to withstand color treatments. We highly recommend to never bleach the OG as this will decrease the quality and integrity of the OG hair.

If you're considering coloring your extensions, be sure to follow these tips:

• Seek a professional colourist dye your extensions.
• Do a color test on the sample tester provided before applying color to your full set.
• Dye lighter extensions darker rather than lightening darker-colored extensions.
• Use semi-permanent or demi-permanent color with a lower volume developer.

Important: Remember, Remy hair extensions are made of real human hair, so they require the same care as your natural hair. Just as you wouldn’t over-bleach your own hair, avoid excessive coloring to keep your extensions in top condition.

 

Why Remy Hair is Better Than Synthetic Hair

Natural Look and Feel: Unlike synthetic hair, Remy hair feels and looks just like your natural hair. Synthetic extensions have an unnatural shine and feel rough, making it harder to blend them with your natural hair.

Easier to Style: Remy hair can be styled with heat tools like curling irons and straighteners, unlike synthetic hair, which often cannot withstand heat styling, and tend to melt compromising the integrity of the synthetic hair.

Better Movement: Remy hair moves naturally with your head, while synthetic hair tends to be stiff and doesn't blend with your natural hair flow.

Long-Lasting: Remy hair is more durable and lasts much longer than synthetic hair, which tends to degrade over time and lose its shape.
