New to Hair Extensions?
Welcome to KBETH HAIR EXTENSIONS – Your trusted partner in premium hair extensions. If you’re new to the world of hair extensions, the terminology can feel overwhelming. Raw hair, virgin hair, processed hair – what does it all mean? As a new store specializing in premium hair extensions, we believe in educating our customers so you can make the best choice for your hair journey. Let’s start with the basics and work our way up to help you understand exactly what you’re investing in.
Virgin hair is exactly what it sounds like – hair that has never been chemically processed, colored, permed, or treated in any way. This hair comes directly from a single donor and maintains its natural cuticle layer, which is what gives hair its shine, strength, and longevity.
Key characteristics of virgin hair:
• Never been chemically treated
• Cuticles remain intact and aligned
• Can be colored, bleached, and styled like your natural hair
• Lasts 1-3 years with proper care
• Comes in natural colors only (black, brown, blonde variations)
Raw hair takes virgin hair one step further. It’s the most natural form of hair extensions available – completely unprocessed hair that’s cut directly from the donor and bundled immediately without any steam processing or chemical treatments whatsoever.
What makes raw hair special:
• Zero processing from donor to your hands
• Maintains natural movement and body
• Each bundle may have slight texture variations (completely normal!)
• Can last 3-5 years with proper maintenance
• The most expensive but highest quality option
Raw Hair vs. Virgin Hair: What’s the Difference?
While both are high-quality options, here’s how they compare:
Processing Level
• Virgin Hair: Minimal processing for cleaning and sorting
• Raw Hair: Absolutely no processing beyond cutting and collecting
Longevity
• Virgin Hair: 1-3 years
• Raw Hair: 3-5 years
Price Point
• Virgin Hair: Premium pricing
• Raw Hair: Ultra-premium pricing
Styling Versatility
Both can be colored, bleached, and heat-styled, but raw hair tends to hold styles better due to its completely intact structure.
