What is virgin human hair? Things to consider when buying Virgin Hair Extensions

If you are looking for quality human hair extensions, you may have heard the term virgin hair, which is considered a perfect material for this beauty procedure. 

Let’s get to know what is virgin hair and why does it matter.

This is 100% real human hair, the cuticles are intact and running in the same direction, and the hair has never been chemically processed or color-treated in any way. 

To get more specific, it’s hair that is totally free from color treatments, bleaches, perms, and has never been exposed to harsh heat. 


What is virgin hair? The hair bundles are collected from a single head. In most cases from young girls. This means each time you get: 

  1. Bundles of  a unique color 
  2. Different length
  3. Different weight


You may have noticed that most bundles weigh up to 200 grams. The fact is that all other hair types are collected from different donors and mixed, so they can be sorted by desired length and weight.

However, this product is always taken from one donor, so it is truly exclusive: you choose the most suitable length, shade, and enjoy beautiful-looking hair extensions.

Note: if you buy virgin hair from Chinese or Indian suppliers, you need to be careful and make sure you are really offered single-head locks. Most materials that come from the Asian market are collected from multiple donors. Sometimes the hair is disinfected and treated with aggressive chemicals and then coated with silicone to cover the damage and make it look silky and beautiful.

Furthermore, such hair features a thick to very thick texture.

When looking for hair extensions for fine hair we recommend choosing 100% virgin Slavic hair. 

What is Slavic virgin human hair? It is not dyed, soft, fine, and silky hair collected from donors in Ukraine, Belarus and Southern parts of Russia. This hair undergoes delicate hygienic treatment which doesn’t affect its look,  quality and lifespan. 

These strands proved to be an optimal material for those who have weakened or naturally fine hair, as well as for those who are in search of beautiful undyed locks.

If you have thin-to-medium-thick natural hair, we recommend choosing virgin Russian hair extensions. They feature a denser structure than virgin Slavic hair.

What does virgin hair look like

What does virgin hair look like

We have compiled a few basic features that will help you understand if you are buying real virgin hair:

  • Always sold in bundles. Such locks will never be packed in a polyethylene bag: this is typical for lower-quality products.
  • The hair is aligned in one direction. If you look at the ends of such locks, they are always one or a couple of shades lighter than the roots. Moreover, such bundles are thinner closer to the ends. The strands with even color and thickness from roots to tips most likely came from the Asian market.
  • Very soft, smooth, and silky locks with a natural shiny outlook. If the locks have a bright mirror gloss, then, most likely, they were treated with silicone. After the silicon is washed off, the strands become dull, dry, and entangled.
  • Such bundles blend smoothly with your natural hair and are as comfortable as possible to wear. You can make any hairstyle.
  • Virgin hair with regular care, will last you at least a year (depending on the hair extensions method). 
  • It works well for any extension technique: keratin tips, tape-ins, sew-in wefts, clip-ins, etc.
  • Although these curls come in their natural color, they are perfectly colorable. So, if necessary, you can give them whatever shade you want. The main thing is to entrust this task to an experienced colorist who can change the hair color without any damage to the quality of the hair.

Is virgin hair good?

Absolutely yes!

  1. Such products undergo the most delicate processing that preserves the cuticle of the hair. Due to this, the hair does not tangle and is very comfortable to wear.
  2. They look healthy and well-groomed, and will last longer than any other raw material!
  3. The treatment without aggressive chemicals makes these bundles ideal for everyone, including people with allergies.
  4. It blends well with natural hair, so no one will ever notice that you have hair extensions.
  5. If your hair tech masters the chosen extension technique, you will not feel any discomfort wearing it. Light and soft, such hair won’t weaken the roots, so you don’t have to worry about the health of your natural hair. 


What is the difference between virgin hair and human hair?

Wondering what is the difference between virgin hair and human hair?

All virgin hair is human, but not all human hair is virgin. 

Thus, human hair can be:

  • Collected from different donors;
  • Color-treated;
  • Chemically treated or permed.


All the above mentioned is unacceptable for virgin bundles.

But it doesn’t mean that human hair is of poor quality. For example, Russian hair can be color-treated, and European hair (which has a thicker texture than Russian) can be colored and permed. Both these materials are very comfortable to wear. 

Virgin bundles' selection criteria are stricter because they are not dyed and are often intended for the most demanding customers.


What is virgin Remy human hair

What are virgin Remy hair extensions? It is natural human hair that’s never been chemically treated or dyed. The main difference between Remy and non-Remy hair is that the cuticles are intact and are aligned in one direction, from roots to tips. 

If the cuticles are misaligned, it causes tangling, shedding, and matting problems. 


What is the difference between virgin hair and Remy hair?

The same rule is to be applied as to human hair: all virgin hair is Remy, but not all Remy hair is virgin. 

In other words, Remy can be dyed, chemically treated, and collected from several donors.


Is virgin hair better than Remy hair?

Remy is just a way of laying the strands in the direction of their growth. They can be of completely different quality (depending on their donors and processing features).

So if you want to buy high-quality hair extensions and be 100% satisfied with your hairstyle, choose virgin Slavic hair.
