1. Raw Hair – Pure Luxury

  • Definition: 100% unprocessed human hair collected from a single donor. No steam, no chemicals, no texture manipulation.

  • Look & Feel: Natural, slightly coarse, holds texture beautifully.

  • Styling: Can be straightened, curled, bleached, or colored with minimal damage.

  • Durability: Lasts 2–3 years or more with proper care.

  • Best For: Customers who want the most natural, premium quality hair available.

2. Virgin Hair – Natural, Slightly Processed

  • Definition: Human hair that has never been chemically processed or dyed — but often steam-processed to create textures like body wave, loose wave, etc.

  • Look & Feel: Smooth and soft with a consistent texture.

  • Styling: Can be colored or heat-styled, though not as durable as raw hair.

  • Durability: Lasts 1–2 years with good care.

  • Best For: Everyday wear with a natural look and texture versatility.
