Virgin Hair
- Virgin Hair is hair that has been processed (Steamed).
- It is steam processed to achieve the known textures that everyone loves (Deep Curly, Kinky Curly and Body Wavy).
- Steam process makes the hair shinier and silkier.
- Though the hair has not been chemically processed, the steam process alters the hair from its natural state, which is why the hair is no longer considered “Raw”.
- The longevity of this hair depends on the quality, some can last months and some up to 2 years depending on maintenance.
- Virgin hair comes in a variety of textures and origins.
Raw Hair
- Hair that is 100% pure and unprocessed.
- Typically coarser than Virgin hair (because it is not steamed).
- With the hair being unprocessed, there are not a lot of textures to choose from; the main textures available are straight, natural wavy and rarely a curly pattern.
- The extensions are usually thick from weft to ends
- Raw hair requires extra maintenance, it needs more moisturizing and conditioning to maintain its luster.
- The longevity of the hair can last at a minimum of 3 years.
- Raw hair is more expensive because longevity and quality is better.
