The Difference Between Raw Hair, Virgin hair, Remy hair and Non-Remy Hair

Raw Hair:
This refers to human hair that has not undergone any form of processing of treatments, whether it be chemical or steam processing. Raw hair is collected directly from an individual donors and 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. Generally, raw hair can dye to any colour including bleach blonde (colour 613).
Raw hair is extremely expensive, the benefit of raw hair vs the cost is not worth it for most clients but if budget is not an issue then this is of course fantastic quality hair to consider.

Virgin Hair：
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. Virgin hair is generally more consistent in terms of length and texture compared to raw hair but has not necessarily been collected from a single donor and because of this the price of virgin hair is considerably less than raw hair. This hair should be able to colour well and you should be able to dye the hair to a colour 27 (which is a medium blonde). Only raw hair is usually gauranteed to be able to dye to a colour 613 (which is a bleach blonde). It is important however for clients to bear in mind that any time you colour hair that the hair does get slightly damaged, so if you prefer 613# blonde styles we would recommend to rather buy a style that has been professionally pre-dyed rather than spending a significant amount of budget on a very high-quality wig and then risk it being damaged when you try to dye it to a light blondes.  Before the influx of hair companies on the market, raw hair used to be referred to as "virgin hair."

Remy Hair：
Remy hair refers to quality human hair that has hair cuticles intact and that are aligned in the same direction to ensure a natural look and feel. Remy hair may have undergone slight processing whether it be dying or perming the hair or slight chemical processing.
In essence all virgin hair is remy hair, but not all remy hair is virgin.

Non-Remy Hair:
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 and therefore there is a higher risk of tangling and the hair has a less natural appearance. 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. We do not recommend dying non-remy hair.
