While R|O prides itself in representing raw extensions only- however we have a guilty pleasure texture, which is our Burmese extension. Burmese has a beautiful natural effect when blown out…. BUT- it is not completely RAW, it’s virgin.
When it comes to the world of hair extensions and weaves, the terms “virgin hair” and “raw hair” often gets thrown around. But what do these terms really mean, and how do they differ?
let’s us explain
Defining Virgin Hair
Virgin hair refers to hair that has never been chemically treated, dyed, or permed. It is in its natural state, untouched by any harsh processes. However the hair undergoes a steamed process for certain textures- in our case; the Burmese curl.
This hair type is prized for its purity… Let’s delve into what makes virgin hair so unique:
1. Natural Shine: Virgin hair retains its natural shine because the cuticles are intact and aligned in the same direction.
2. Versatility: It can be dyed or styled as desired because it has not undergone any chemical treatments.
Understanding Raw Hair
Raw hair is collected directly from one donor a bundle, usually in its unaltered, unprocessed state and is just like hair from your own head- for that reason raw hair requires more love and attention.
Raw hair is celebrated for its uniqueness and authenticity:
1. Diversity: Raw hair often varies in texture and color, providing a natural and realistic look.
2. Individuality: Each bundle of raw hair tells a story, reflecting the hair characteristics of its donor.
Choosing Between Virgin and Raw Hair
When deciding between virgin and raw hair, several factors come into play:
1. Budget: Raw hair is usually pricier due to its pristine condition, while virgin hair can be a more budget-friendly option.
2. Desired Look: If you prefer a specific texture, color, or pattern, raw hair may offer more diversity to achieve your desired style.
3. Maintenance: Virgin hair typically requires less maintenance and is more forgiving, while raw hair might need extra care to prevent tangling and add moisture.
4. Only RAW hair can dye to 613- Burmese or any other virgin hair cannot, but it can still dye. Clearly just not to those limits.
In conclusion
The choice between virgin hair and raw hair ultimately depends on your preferences, budget, and the look you want to achieve. Both have their unique qualities and offer gorgeous results when properly cared for. Whether you opt for the pure elegance of virgin hair or the raw authenticity of unprocessed locks, the world of hair extensions and weaves has something to offer for every style-conscious individual. It’s all about embracing the beauty that best suits you.
In the end, the allure of both virgin and raw hair lies in their capacity to enhance your natural beauty.
Make your choice wisely and wear your new locks with pride!
