Raw Hair vs Virgin Hair

What is Raw Hair?

Raw hair is 100% unprocessed, pure human hair that has never been chemically treated, dyed, permed, or altered in any way. It comes directly from a single donor and is cut in a way that preserves the alignment of the hair cuticles. Because of its untouched quality, raw hair is considered one of the highest-grade hair types available and offers a natural, authentic look and feel.

Whether you choose straight, wavy, or curly raw hair, the texture reflects the donor’s natural pattern no added processing or manipulation involved. This means you’re getting hair that hasn’t been steamed, colored, or altered to fit a specific style, making it incredibly versatile and long-lasting.

Key Features of Raw Hair:

  • 100% natural texture (straight, wavy, or curly based on the donor’s hair)

  • No synthetic fibers or silicone coatings

  • Cuticles are aligned in the same direction to prevent tangling

  • Can be bleached, dyed, flat ironed, or curled with ease

  • Extremely durable & can last 2 to 3+ years with proper care

  • Soft feel with natural luster and beautiful movement

Raw Hair vs. Virgin Hair:

While both raw and virgin hair are unprocessed in terms of coloring and chemical treatment, there are a few key differences:

  • Virgin Hair is also human hair that hasn’t been dyed or chemically processed. However, it’s often steamed to create uniform textures such as deep wave, body wave, or loose curl. This helps give all bundles a consistent appearance but means it has been lightly altered with heat.

  • Raw Hair is never steamed or processed in any way. Each bundle is left completely natural, which means no two bundles will look exactly alike. The slight variation in texture is a sign of its authenticity and high quality. You’re getting hair in its purest form, what you see is what you get.

Why Choose Raw Hair?

If you’re looking for the most natural, long lasting, and versatile option, raw hair is the top choice. It behaves just like real hair because it is real hair. Untouched and full of life. Whether you're a stylist or wearing it yourself, raw hair offers the freedom to style, color, and treat it however you’d like while maintaining its luxurious quality over time.
