Choosing the Perfect Hair Extensions:
Standard Remy vs Luxe Remy Virgin Human Hair

​At Enlightened Hair Extensions, we believe every woman deserves hair that feels beautiful, effortless, and luxuriously natural.

 

That’s why we offer two premium ranges of human hair extensions:

Standard European Remy and our highest-grade Luxe Remy Virgin Hair.

 

Both options are ethically sourced, cuticle-aligned, double drawn, and made from 100% human hair, but they’re designed for different lifestyles, budgets, and longevity goals. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you find your perfect match. ​

Standard Remy Hair Extensions 

– Everyday Luxury

​

Our Standard Remy hair extensions are crafted from high-quality, ethically sourced European human hair. They provide a soft, silky finish and are ideal for those who love to refresh their look more frequently.
 

Features:

- 100% cuticle-aligned, double drawn European Remy human hair

- Minimal tangling and shedding

- Beautiful soft texture with a natural fall

- Blends seamlessly with most hair types

- Can be coloured and heat-styled with care

Luxe Remy Virgin Hair Extensions

– The Ultimate in Hair Luxury

​

For those who desire the best of the best, our Luxe Remy Virgin Hair Extensions offer unparalleled softness, silkiness, and longevity. Sourced from virgin Remy hair, hair that has never been coloured, chemically treated, or compromised in any way — this is truly the gold standard in hair extensions.

 

Premium Features:

- Virgin human hair: No chemical processing or dyes prior to colouring for your perfect shade

- Absolutely zero tangling, matting, or dryness when cared for correctly

- Unbelievably soft, smooth, and luminous

- Low maintenance: Less time styling, more time feeling confident

- Holds curl and styling beautifully

- Ethically sourced from single donors

 

Longevity: 9–12+ months (sometimes longer), particularly for those wearing extensions for volume rather than full-length transformations. Because the hair is virgin quality, it remains protected from climate exposure and retains its softness with proper maintenance.

 

Why Luxe Remy Virgin Hair is an Investment in Yourself

• No daily frustrations: No matting, dryness, or unmanageable knots — just flawless hair, day in and day out.

• Long-term savings: Lasts twice as long as standard Remy, making it a cost-effective choice over time.

• Feels like your own hair: Soft, flowing, and natural-looking, Luxe Remy blends so perfectly it feels like your own.

• Confidence boost: Luxurious hair that moves beautifully and makes you feel radiant.​

The Enlightened Hair Promise

Whether you choose our Standard Remy or Luxe Remy, you’ll be receiving the finest ethically sourced hair, lovingly crafted to blend seamlessly with your own and enhance your natural beauty.

Hair Extension Methods/Techniques

HIDDEN METHOD/ INVISIBLE BEADDED EXTENSIONS (IBE)

The #1 most requested extension method. Why? Prevents Damage to the client’s hair and scalp from tension. Eliminates Discomfort due to the contact of beads on the scalp and offers styling versatility which means no more exposed beads, bonds, or braids when wearing hair up. Suitable for fine-thick hair, and lasts up to 12 weeks.

 

SEWN IN WEAVES

Weave hair is applied by braiding the natural hair into cornrows first, then using a needle and thread to sew the weave into the braid or cornrow. Weave hair extensions are used for people with thicker hair. Lasts 6-8wks.

​

MICRO/LA WEAVES

A series of micro beads are placed in a line along your hair, close to the scalp, in waterfall form for extra protection. A weft of hairs is then sewn in to them. These are also known as 'braidless weave.' Lasts 8-12 wks.


NANO BEADS
These are applied by attaching tiny wefts of hair to small sections of the natural hair with a small silicone-lined bead. Like micro beads, but so much smaller. No heat or glue is used, lasts approx 8 weeks. Suitable for thin hair.

​

MICRO BEADS
These are applied by attaching tiny wefts of hair to small sections of the natural hair with a small silicone-lined bead. No heat or glue is used, lasts approx 8 weeks. Suitable for medium-thick hair. 

INVISIBLE TAPE EXTENSIONS
Invisible Tape Hair Extensions (also known as Skin Weft) are the same as the tape method in the way that they are applied; they are applied like a sandwich (the natural hair is positioned between two extension pieces). However, our skin weft hair extensions are far better than the standard tape extensions. They are hand tied to create the appearance that the hair is directly growing from the scalp. In this way, you do not get the shiny tape extension show through like the traditional method. This also significantly minimises the risk of heating up the bonding glues, which can be damaging. This is a very compatible method for all hair types of different lengths. We make use of an advanced compound that can be easily removed by our gentle removal spray. Very quick to install, and hair can be re-used. They last approx 4-6 weeks before needing to be moved up/maintained.

​

KERATIN BONDS

Keratin bond hair extensions are a popular type of hair extension that use keratin, a natural protein found in our hair, to attach the extensions to your natural hair. The process involves melting the keratin bond with a heat tool and then attaching it to small sections of your hair. These extensions are known for their durability and natural look. The keratin bonds are small and discreet, making them blend seamlessly with your natural hair. They can be applied to add length, volume, or even highlights to your hair.

​

BRAZILIAN KNOTS
These are applied strand by strand with a special thread technique. Ideal for people trying to grow their natural hair. It’s safe and suitable for all types of hair and no maintenance is required. Lasts up to 3-4 months!

LACE FRONT WIGS
A wig that has sheer lace along the front portion of the wig that rests along the forehead and traces your natural hairline. The purpose of the lace is to give the wearer the appearance of a natural hairline. 

PONYTAILS/HALO/CLIPS
These hair extensions are the least permanent style of extensions because you can quickly remove them and put them back on whenever you want. Super easy to do all by yourself. We can also show you how!
