Raw Virgin Hair F.A.Q
What is the difference between Raw and Virgin hair?
100% Raw hair means it has never been chemically altered or steamed in any way. With Raw Hair being completely unprocessed and chemical free, Raw Hair is the most natural, pure, and 100% authentic hair. There is no (9A,10A, 15A) because Raw hair is always the best grade. Usually raw hair was cut from one donor and all cuticles are aligned. Raw hair is 100% unprocessed human hair.
Virgin hair may also have been cut from one donor and cuticles aligned. However, it has been chemically processed. Virgin hair generally has that " perfect curl pattern". If you have purchased Malaysian, or Peruvian hair bundles
Wait does that mean Malaysian, Peruvian, or Brazilian hair bundles are fake?
Yes and No. You are receiving real virgin hair. But the origin is different. For example, Peruvian hair bundles are chemically altered hair originated from China or India, not Peru.
Where does RAW hair originate from?
The 5 main origins are China, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Burma.
Hair Maintence difference between Raw and Virgin Hair
Virgin hair maintenance requires once a month deep condition, and mild upkeep as it has been chemically processed to be in a "perfect state" after a quick conditioning treatment. No need to add oil treatments. With raw hair, you have to treat it with the same hair care as your own. If you give your hair oil treatments weekly, your hair extensions needs a hair treatment too. This applies to all Raw hair except Vietnamese hair. In fact, Vietnamese hair looks the best with no oil based treatments. Twice a week Deep Conditioning Treatments work fine. For curly hair, wrap your extensions around flexi rods overnight after every conditioning treatment.

Why Does Cambodian Hair have multiple textures?
Cambodian Hair can range from a 2A soft wave to a coarse 4A. Cambodian Hair has the widest range of hair texture. This is why Cambodian hair is perfect for those who want a versatile look.
Why is my hair not jet black like virgin hair bundles?
Our hair is 100% Raw and because of that, we do not process the hair to dye it jet black. Our hair comes from Southeast asia and the sun naturally dyes our donor's black hair will be naturally dyed by the sun. This results with dark brown ends. When you receive real raw hair, the ends should be lighter than the roots where the weft is. Raw hair is more of a #1b color on bottom and a #1 on top of the weft.
