Raw hair refers to 100% unprocessed human hair sourced directly from a single donor. It retains its natural cuticle layer, aligned in the original direction for minimal tangling and maximum durability. Unlike chemically treated alternatives, raw hair maintains its natural texture (straight, wavy, or curly) as it’s only cleaned and packaged after collection.

Key Features of Raw Hair:

What is Virgin Hair?

Virgin hair is often misunderstood. Despite the name, it typically refers to processed hair from multiple donors. The cuticles are stripped or misaligned during manufacturing, leading to shorter lifespan (6–18 months). While cheaper, it may contain synthetic fillers and lacks raw hair’s authenticity.
