Differences Between Hair Grades

Hair Products: A Complex Category

Hair products are highly complex due to their diverse attributes—such as origin, texture, size, color, and processing procedures. These factors make it challenging to define a single “grade” system that covers all aspects.

The Evolution of Hair Grade Terminology

• 2010s: Early Market Differentiation
  When the foreign trade hair market began to rise in the early 2010s, companies first defined 3A as raw hair and 2A as virgin hair to distinguish quality attributes.

• 2012: Intensified Competition
  By 2012, the market became highly competitive. Some companies then labeled their raw hair as 4A, virgin hair as 3A, and non - remy hair as 2A to highlight their hair’s quality.

• 2015: Confusion in the “A” System
  This trend continued until 2015, when 8A or even 9A hair appeared on the market. Around 2015, many hair companies used “A” to denote differences in bundle or wig density. Thus, the “A” system became highly confusing.

• Today: Absurdity of the “A” System
  Even today, some companies label their hair as 12A, and you can find 15A hair on certain shopping sites—truly absurd!

Our Brand’s Responsible Approach

As a truly responsible company, we only sell two hair types: virgin hair and raw hair. However, customers’ purchasing power varies, so we’ve made a more detailed division for virgin hair.
Take body wave as an example:

• Virgin Hair Grades (V1, V2, V3)
  Our virgin hair is divided into three grades—Virgin Hair 1 (V1), Virgin Hair 2 (V2), and Virgin Hair 3 (V3). All three grades use the same high - quality virgin hair raw material, with the only difference being density. You can clearly see the density difference in the pictures and videos on our website.

• Raw Hair Grade (R1)
  Currently, we develop and produce only one raw hair grade, which we call R1. It’s the best raw hair you can buy on the market today. Due to the high cost of raw materials, we’re considering the possibility of introducing a higher - density R2 grade of raw hair.

The Future of Hair Grade Terminology

With the fierce competition between companies, I guess that in the near future, many companies will sell 20A or even 100A hair. However, the quality of hair isn’t simply reflected by a letter “A”. Many ladies have already been misled by the dizzying array of “A” labels. Let’s work together to rectify the chaotic hair market as soon as possible.
