The difference between Raw hair, Virgin hair, Remy hair and Non-Remy Hair

The difference between Raw hair, Virgin hair, Remy hair and Non-Remy Hair

Raw hair

100% human hair+ single donor hair + 100% cuticle aligned + without any processed+easy to be colored and beach to 613 color.


First of all, it has to be 100% human hair,without any fillers or other animals hair. And its from one donor hair(each single bundle from each one person’s hair,no mixed hair),   all the hair strands are aligned in the same direction and the hair cuticles are in tact and aligned in the same direction which prevents tangling. Without any processing of treatments, whether it be chemical or steam processing, even before the donors donor the hair is without bleached or colored. And because of raw hair have healthy cuticle so it can colored easily and can easily bleach to 613 color.

Raw hair is very expensive, and the main consumer markets for hair growth are in the United States and Europe because it is so expensive. Almost no hair is sold in South Africa. In our opinion, the benefits and costs of raw hair are not worth it for most clients, but if budget is not an issue, then it is certainly worth considering quality hair.

Virgin hair

100% human hair+multiple donor hair+100% cuticle aligned+without any processed+only can bleach to 27# color

Virgin hair refers to human hair that has not been processed or chemically treated in any way. The hair cuticles are in tact and are aligned in the same direction which prevents tangling and shedding.but not collected from a single donor ,This hair should be able to color well and you should be able to dye the hair to a color 27 (which is a medium blonde).However, it is important for clients to remember that any time you dye your hair, it will suffer minor damage, so if you prefer a light blonde hairstyle, we recommend buying one that has been professionally pre-dyed, rather than spending a large budget on a very high quality wig and then risking hair damage while you try to dye your hair light blonde. Because virgin hair is much cheaper than raw hair, virgin hair is the best choice for our ordinary customers, and it also has the best sales volume in the hair market.

Remy hair and Non-remy hair

multiple donor hair+cuticles removed hair +No cuticle hair+ heavy chemical  treated

Remy hair and Non-Remy hair is human hair that has had the cuticles removed using chemicals or has cuticles that are intact but they are not aligned in the same direction . The chemical process to remove the cuticles usually results in hair that has lower moisture. Be aware of brands that use a lot of silicone to mask this because as soon as the hair is washed and the silicone removed the hair could be very dry and tangle easily.

Due to the low price, most hair sold in the African hair market is remy hair or non-remy hair. So from a budget point of view, may be the best option for some customers, as long as the customer understands what they are buying and realizes that Non-Remy HAIR doesn't last as long as VIRGIN HAIR or RAW HAIR, remy hair is fine.

Since we don't sell this hair, I don't want to talk too much about it. We only focus on raw hair and quality virgin hair.
