What is Raw Hair?
Raw hair is 100% unprocessed, natural human hair collected directly from a donor. It is the purest form of human hair available, meaning it has not been chemically treated, dyed, or altered in any way. The hair is typically cut from the donor in a ponytail to ensure the cuticles remain intact and aligned, reducing tangling and increasing longevity.
Key Features of Raw Hair:
✔ Unprocessed & Natural – No chemicals, dyes, or silicones applied.
✔ Cuticle Intact & Aligned – Prevents tangling and shedding.
✔ Durable & Long-Lasting – Can last up to 3+ years with proper care.
✔ Authentic Texture – Available in natural straight, wavy, or curly patterns.
✔ Customizable – Can be dyed, bleached, or heat-styled without damage.
