The Origins of Remy Indian Hair

The roots of the word "Remy" come from the longstanding Hindu Ritual of making offerings at the Hindu Temples. In the East Indian religion of Hinduism, deities are represented by images and idols symbolizing divine powers. Worshippers tithe money and may make other various material offerings of value such as jewelry or food to these gods at the temple.

Women, however, commonly offer their hair as something that is valuable to them, as an act of humility or surrender of the ego. It is from these woman and this offering that we obtain our hair. The women's hair is cut, and often their heads are shaved. This may or may not be done by another Hindu, and may or may not be done at the site of the temple. The hair is then gathered and sold to us, and the money is then used to maintain the house of worship, as well as charities and other good works sponsored by the temple.
