Is That Virgin Hair Processed Hair? Is That Raw hair Always Better Than Virgin Hair?
We have found that some people have mixed the concept of raw hair and virgin hair. And we have even seen some interpretations about raw hair & virgin hair from YouTube that are not correct exactly. In this article, we are going to tell you the following points:
- 1. Filler Hair VS Human Hair

1. Filler Hair VS Human Hair
Have you ever purchased a bundle and while going through the bundle you notice that there are random synthetic pieces throughout a bundle to enhance the weight and fullness of the bundle. Unfortunately, you didn't actually purchase 100% human hair if you notice filler hairs throughout your bundle. This kind of bundle is probably tangling upon reception, or it will begin to tangle after washing. You're probably very scared to wash this filler hair (human half synthetic hair extension).
Some unreliable hair vendors and virgin hair companies sell and distribute non-Remy hair labeled as "virgin hair". Have you ever purchased hair extensions that have a corn chip odor? Maybe you are dealing with non-Remy hair. How to distinguish Remy hair from non-Remy hair? Actually, non-Remy hair is 100% real human hair. Remy hair has intact cuticles that flow in the same direction. Remy hair is commonly no tangling and no shedding. If you were looking for long-lasting hair that doesn't tangle, you need to stay away from non-Remy hair. If you have enough budget, Remy hair is no doubt a better option than filler hair.
2. What Is Remy Hair
Remy hair is 100% human hair because it was collected from ONE donor and one source, it was not just picked up off from floors or via brooms. Remy hair is ideally what we all are looking for high-grade hair that does not tangle and doesn't shed.

3. Raw Hair VS Virgin Hair
Some people consider that virgin hair is chemically processed hair and is collected from the floor of temples, salons, and so on. But this point is not exactly correct. Real virgin hair is 100% human hair collected from one source or donor with intact cuticles. Virgin hair pertains to hair that has not been dyed, bleached, or permed. In other words, virgin hair is not CHEMICALLY treated.
Let's talk about virgin hair if you were to get on Google right now and type in virgin hair, I'm sure that picture of body wave bundles, loose wave bundles, and even some man-made filler hair bundles will all come up.
Virgin hair is 100% non-chemical processed 100% human hair. Because so many companies are mislabeling processed hair and virgin hair is supposed to be 100% Remy hair, and it's supposed to be doesn't tangle and doesn't mat up.
4. Is that steam process bringing damage to virgin hair?
Some may also consider that the raw hair is unprocessed, virgin hair is processed hair, so raw hair is better than virgin hair? This point is not exactly correct either. Actually, the process here is not bad. Virgin hair is not chemically processed but steam processed. Steam Processing uses water to create steam to make sure the hair is the perfect texture and also removes any fungus or bacteria that the hair could have had. Steam processing is more for the curlier textures that you see in virgin hair suppliers. The steam is what makes the curl pattern and keeps the pattern soft and intact. I know when the comes to the word "processed hair", some people may be scared of it, and worry about if the steam processed virgin hair damages their natural hair. Because of non-chemical processed, virgin hair is available to be long-lasting with no shedding or no tangling after multiple washing and is easier to take care of. Virgin hair is the highest hair grade in the wigs and weaves market. So the point is to get real virgin hair from reliable hair vendors instead of fake virgin hair.
5. How many bundles you should buy?
People don't really know how many bundles they should buy. But it really all depends on the length of the hair the longer hair the more bundles you need. So I would say if you are getting inches between 8 and 16 or even 18 inches, you really only need two to three bundles, but if you're going above 18 inches you're gonna need about three or four bundles of hair.
