A few months ago, I started using Beth Minardi Luxury Color Care Products. While ”testing” a new line of hair extensions, I decided to ombre the hair. Being that some factories use textile dye to color the hair, I never know what I am working with. The end result was beautiful Indian Summer hair and DRY AND DAMGED ends.
I learned that the hair extensions were a sham! Just another company with false promises of amazing hair. BUT I also learned that Beth Minardi Pre Wash ROCKS! I mean seriously, it brought the extensions back to life. I use System 3.
I recently was traveling and forgot my products and quickly realized that nothing else works on my hair.
The Pre Wash is applied on dry hair only. I now pre-treat all the custom clip-in hair extensions with Minardi Pre Wash. While doing a relaxer or root touch up, I use the Pre Wash on the mid shaft to ends. This product rinses beautifully without leaving any residue or weighing down the hair.
I am a big fan of Beth Minardi. She is a true artist! It should be no surprise that she has formulated a line that repairs and conditions.

Remy Hair Extensions and Shingles on a Roof...
We've all seen and heard about Remy hair by now. For hair extension veterans, it would seem as if this name just appeared from nowhere. Hence the name "Remy" is one of the most confusing titles among human hair consumers.
The hair extensions industry exploded with one word..."REMY".
Remy is sometimes spelled remy OR remi.
Remy. no dictionary results. dictionary.com
Remy. Remy is a name of French origin, and is associated with the Latin name Remi. Wilkepedia.
Non Remy is what you see on temple floors. The hair has been cut off the head and is collected lose. This typically is the less expensive hair you may find in plastic bags being sold at low end beauty supply stores. Non remi hair is most commonly available.
To eliminate these tangles, they remove the cuticles through an acid bath process. However, acid bath processes are extremely damaging since it melts the cuticles of the hair, making it more prone to breakage and dryness. The hair also have lost its shine.
Non-remy hair is satisfying at first sight. But after only 3-4 washes, the dry and matted texture of the hair comes out. It will have a rubbery texture, and gets drier with every wash. Non-remy hair is the source of numerous complaints for human hair extensions. In the long run, you will end up shortchanging yourself.
Non-remy hair is like shingles on a roof! They all should be going in the same direction. IF NOT, friction happens and the hair swells.
