Authentic Virgin Hair is typically defined as 100% Natural Human Hair that has never been altered or processed in any manner. However, within the realm of the ever-evolving human hair industry, "Virgin Hair" now commonly refers to hair that has been chemically treated or mechanically processed to achieve specific textures or colours, and is typically sourced from multiple donors. The term "Raw" sets it apart from True Virgin Hair and Processed Virgin Hair. In other words, while all Raw Hair is Virgin Hair, not all Virgin Hair is Raw Hair.
What are the key differences between Raw and Virgin Hair?
Raw hair is a lot different to Virgin hair. Both are human hair however, Raw hair has not been chemically altered, steamed or processed to give it it's texture. Unlike Virgin hair. The beauty and the beast of Raw hair is that no two bundles are the same. They won't be different from eachother but never identical and that is because the hair is not proceesed to form a uniformed pattern. As Raw hair has not been chemically processed, it mainly comes in three textures. Straight, wavy and curly. We do not offer body wave, kinky curly or deep wave, etc. Please be advised that our straight hair usually has a slight wave to it as it is in it's purest form.
Which quality is best?
Since Raw hair is of better quality please appreciate the fact that it will be more expensive. However, it is worth every penny! Unlike Virgin hair, Raw hair can last you up to 5 years+. This is the beauty of Raw hair as it can be reused numerous times without shedding or tangling whilst still maintaining it's soft flowy texture.
