IS RAW HAIR BETTER THAN VIRGIN HAIR?

Raw Hair or Virgin Hair. People often confuse these two but they have hair thin difference between the two. What it is? And how you can choose the right one for you. This blog is comparison guide for you.

When it comes to hair extensions, raw hair and virgin hair are two of the most popular words heard in the world of hair extensions. While both are premium, they have some key differences that may make one more fitting to your needs than another.

When it comes to deciding between these two premium hair types, you need to understand how both compare in terms of durability, flexibility in styling, and maintenance.

In this comparison guide, we are going to break down the quality of raw and virgin hair to help you make a proper decision.

WHAT IS RAW HAIR?

Raw is the highest quality of hair that you can get on the market. Raw hair is hair that has not undergone any processing or change in any form. The hair is collected directly from the donor, often from a single source; hence, the hair remains in its natural state. This means that all cuticles are intact, and the hair retains its original texture, color, and quality.

Source: Mainly from countries like India, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Texture: The raw hair is usually found in its raw form, either straight, wavy, or curly.
Uniqueness: Each bundle is unique and one-of-a-kind for people who want an authentic, natural look.

WHAT IS VIRGIN HAIR?

Original Virgin hair is 100% human hair with all its cuticles intact. It is also collected from one donor and hasn't undergone chemical treatments yet, such as dyeing or perming. However, virgin hair might have undergone a steaming process to attain certain textures-like deep waves or loose curls.

Source: Mostly sourced from India and China, you can also get it from Brazil, Malaysia, and Peru.
Texture: The hair is still natural but may have been steamed to align the texture.
Consistency: As virgin hair can be texture-processed, it is usually more possible to achieve a more consistent look throughout bundles.

DURABILITY: WHICH LASTS LONGER?

Long -lasting hair

Raw hair is usually stronger compared to virgin hair since it is not processed at all. Since all cuticles of this hair are intact and in one direction, they can resist environmental stress and heavy styling and washing as well. If properly cared for, raw hair extensions can last two to three years, hence a long-term investment.
Virgin hair is a bit more resilient, but due to the fact that it can undergo light steaming, it isn't as resilient as raw hair. Depending on how often you style and maintain it, virgin hair can last a little longer than a year. The lifespan could be shorter if it has been processed for texture consistency.

MAINTENANCE: WHAT LEVEL OF CARE IS NEEDED?

Raw Hair requires more care and maintenance as compared to virgin hair. It requires constant hydration, washing, and conditioning to retain its healthy appearance.
Since Virgin Hair has already undergone some processing to make the texture smoother or more manageable, it is easier to maintain. Don’t forget to deep condition the hair and avoid the use of harsh chemicals to make the hair last longer.

STYLING OPTIONS: HOW VERSATILE ARE THEY?

Style that suits your style!

Raw Hair is the most superior quality as its natural texture and strength are intact. Since raw hair hasn't been treated, one can straighten, curl, and color it without any damage. It also does well with heat styling tools and dyes. However, since it is unique to the donor, it might get difficult to find multiple bundles with the same look.
Virgin hair wigs come in the most versatile type of hair. Although it is processed to achieve a single texture, it can still accommodate heat and dyes for styling. It has more uniformity, so if you're going for a cohesive look, virgin hair may be easier to work with. However, exposure to constant heat and chemical treatments could wear the hair out more than raw hair.

PRICE POINT: WHICH ONE IS MORE EXPENSIVE?

Raw hair is pricier than Virgin Hair because of its top quality and scarcily availability. Each bundle is unique to the other, and the sourcing process is more labor-intensive, thus hiking up the price. The higher cost is not a dampener as the raw hair tends to last significantly longer if looked after diligently.
Virgin hair piece is relatively less expensive than raw hair yet costlier compared to other types of hair. The hair quality is worth the price, although it's cheaper than raw hair, hence a better deal for anybody who wants quality hair at a reasonable price.

WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR YOU?

Which one is the better choice?

It all narrows down to your preference and lifestyle when selecting between raw and virgin hair. Here is a quick breakdown that can help in making up your mind.

Raw hair gives the most natural look and is obviously durable, will stay longer, and will maintain that special, natural feel that processed hair can never give.
If you prefer easier maintenance with a consistent texture, virgin hair will be an excellent option. It's very versatile and easy to maintain, and it gives you that natural look.

Both of these types of hair are made from 100% human hair and are quality options that can make you look amazing, but it will all come down to your styling needs and how much time you will have to put into the maintenance of your hair along with your budget.

CONCLUSION

In the end, choosing between these two types of hair is your personal preference depending majorly on how you plan to use and style them. Raw hair and Virgin hair are both top-quality hair that’s available on the market.
