As Hair Power began with a passion for quality so we continue by supplying natural Caucasian Russian hair extensions to the film industry for their lead actor requirements. We pride ourselves with our knowledge of hair collection and preparation like no other. We specialise in Russian human hair which is genuine hand prepared caucasian hair. It is true remis, virgin natural unprocessed hair. You won't find it here on our website. Please contact Lynne or Lorraine.

Quality control is of utmost importance to us so we never pass on inferior product to you, or ultimately your client. At the beginning of 2008 Hair Power employed a full-time quality control officer in Asia, making sure our quality is the best that is possibly available.  All batches are tested for quality assurance by our overseas office before they are sent to us.

Hair Power hair WILL NOT TANGLE end of story. We stand by our product.

Where does Hair Power hair come from?
We purchase our hair from hair suppliers and factories in Europe, Asia and the subcontinent.
Our suppliers advise us that the hair is collected ethically and each person is paid accordingly.
In India the hair is often donated to the temple.

Remis
These days remis hair is produced from ‘cut’ hair and regarded as superior because it is cuticle correct (the cuticles are traveling in the same direction). However, the meaning of the word has gone wayside as global suppliers mistakenly believe that the hair they are selling is remis. Named by many as Euro or European and often spelt 'remy' even though it's most likely to be Indian/Asian.

Pronounced "rem-ee" and often incorrectly spelt "remy”. It is from the French verb remettre and translates to "re-put" or "put back".” Meaning the hair has been returned to its original alignment as it grew. The historical definition of remis is to say that the hair was gathered from ‘fallen’ hair (hair from hairbrushes) and realigned or ‘put back’ to its original root to point positioning, ready for wig-making. The modern definition of remis means that the supplier is claiming that their hair is root to point correct and will therefore not matt up. They are saying it was always aligned and likely to have been harvested from ‘cut’ hair. It has not been ‘put back’ as it was never miss-aligned in the first place. So while this makes the word remis redundant it is accepted to mean root to point correct without miss-alignment during preparation.


What is the difference between single drawn, ponytails and double drawn human hair?
Ponytails: They have been banded and cut off above the tie.
Single drawn: These are ponytails that have had the short hairs at the top removed.
Double drawn: This hair has been hand worked to separate out all the different lengths. The result being that it is as thick at the bottom as it is at the top.
Regular hair: We endeavour to closely monitor this with our Asian office to ensure that it is as near to double drawn as possible. This hair is termed by most as Euro or European, Indian, Chinese or Asian. The Indians and Chinese do what they call a 'European process'.

Do you want natural virgin human hair extensions?
This is Hair Power's premium collection, locked in a vault and guarded with our pride and joy. It's Russian / Caucasian hair.
At Hair Power we do the hand process ourselves right through to wash and check to ensure that EVERY strand is aligned in the same direction. We know of no other company in the world that does this check. When purchasing Russian hair from any other supplier PLEASE wash it. If it tangles, return it.

Q:  But isn't Russia part of Europe therefore Russian hair is European?
A:  Geographically you're correct but we cannot do our Russian Caucasian hair justice by calling it European because it is truly natural unprocessed human hair.

Can the hair be permed?
No unless it’s Russian & virgin hair. Please advise us prior to purchase and we will endeavour to supply you with appropriate hair fit for the purpose intended. Always do a test sample first.

The plastic doesn’t melt, help!
It’s not supposed to! The plastic will heat up and shrink. The resin inside the plastic will melt.

How long do you heat them for?
No more than 5 seconds on the top and the bottom. Don’t let the resin seep out at all. Keep your eye on the extension continually. The amount of resin inside the plastic tube is just the required amount to bond the extension in. For experienced extension artists with customers who enjoy high maintenance. Commonly used on film sets.
