OUR FAB STORY

What is Raw Hair?

Raw hair is exactly as the name applies; Raw, unprocessed, 100% human hair. When you think about unprocessed this means it has not undergone ANY chemical, heat or steam processing.

​

Raw hair is the most purest and natural form of hair available on the market. Raw hair is great in that the quality is top notch and can literally last you years.

​

The downside to raw hair is the availability of variety.  When it comes to raw hair manufactures are sourcing the hair directly from donors and then the hair undergoes a rigorous sanitizing process.

​

Raw Hair is defined as hair that has NOT been altered by steam or chemical processing in any way. With Raw Hair being completely unprocessed and chemical free, Raw Hair is the most natural, pure, and 100% authentic hair on the market today. True Raw Hair is the ultimate choice of hair extensions since it is simply the highest quality hair extensions that can be found. With fuller, longer lasting bundles, Raw Hair is not only natural looking, but it acts just like your own natural hair and it blends well with all hair types.  

​

Most donors are from India, Cambodia, Vietnam and Burma. Hair patterns from these donors don’t vary all that much so you won’t get those hot trendy styles like tight curly or body wave easily, if at all.

​

Raw hair is usually available in 2 styles – Straight and natural wave or wavy. Raw hair is usually less silky and very slightly closer to coarser textures when compared to virgin hair. Raw hair can also be available in curly hair patterns also. 

​

The definition of raw hair used to imply that the hair was not only chemically and heat unprocessed but also single donor.

​

Single donor hair is a bundle of hair that is cut only from one donor. With the demand of raw hair it’s become increasing difficult for larger hair business companies to provide a full bundle of single donor hair consistently.

​

Raw hair can also mean multiple donors as long as the hair is not processed in any way.
