Virgin Hair?

Virgin hair is a type of hair that has not been chemically processed at all. In order for hair to pass as virgin hair, it means it has to have not been previously permed, dyed bleached or any other chemical processes. Virgin hair usually comes from a single donor, meaning all the hair cuticles are still intact and running in the same direction.

Virgin Remi hair is the highest type of hair in market. It is a premium type of hair being graded at the highest A-list with it being a AAA grade.  When hair is processed the cuticle scale is stripped off. Virgin hair comes in all different textured, a curl or wavy pattern is generated by a steaming process in order to achieve a certain pattern. You are able to test whether the hair has been chemically processed by using indicating shampoo that is usually found in a relaxer kit. If the hair has been subjected to any acidic chemicals the shampoo will turn pink. Another way to test whether your virgin hair has been dyed is to just co-wash it and if dyed the colour will wash away.

To be honest there is no real evidence to where the actual hair comes from. It may be titled as Brazilian, Mongolian, Peruvian or Indian hair etc, however there is no evidence to whether this hair comes from these exotic countries. So, how ethical is it to buy this hair. It has been shown that Indian women donate their hair for religious purposes as a sacrifice and the temples exploit them by selling their hair for profit. On the other hand, these women sell their hair as a money making scheme, in order to afford to live a normal life. As virgin hair is sold from vendors little is known to where the hair comes from and whom is previously belonged to.

It is important to ask the hair vendor several questions before buying the hair, in order to know whether it's genuine virgin hair and in order to know if buying it is the right ethical decision .

Key questions to ask:
Where the hair comes from- should be directly from the region of specified hair
How the hair has been processed- should guarantee it has not been chemically processed

Do some research and find out which vendors are best. Google Google Google. You can find good hair review and recommendation from some Youtube reviewers.

Stay Beautiful
