We are often asked, “What is the difference between Raw hair and Virgin hair?” or “Is one better than the other?”
There are several reasons a person may choose Raw human hair or Virgin human hair. Our response is, it is an individual decision.
Let’s review the hair types, Raw Remy human hair and Virgin Remy human hair.
First, Remy hair. Remy hair is also known as “cuticle hair.” Remy is a type of human hair that has all the hair cuticles intact and aligned in the same direction. Remy hair refers to the quality and condition of the hair. Remy hair or cuticle hair is considered to be the best choice for human hair systems. Remy hair has a more natural look, it feels softer, and lasts longer than other types of hair.
Raw Remy human hair is 100% unprocessed premium quality human hair collected from a single donor. Multiple single donors of the same hair quality may be used to create wigs, toppers, closures to create a desired style. Raw hair is mainly used for hair extensions and sometimes wigs and hair systems. Raw hair has not been exposed to any chemicals, heat, or steam processing. Raw human hair is considered to be the purest and highest quality hair on the market.
Virgin Remy human hair is 100% unprocessed premium quality human hair collected from a single donor to multiple donors of the same hair quality. Virgin hair is used in wigs, toppers, toupees, and extensions since more hair is needed to create the hair system. Virgin hair has not been exposed to any chemicals, heat, or steam processing. Virgin human hair is considered to be the second highest quality hair on the market.
Raw Remy human hair and Virgin Remy human are both Remy hair as mentioned above. Remy is what helps to give the hair a very natural look and feel since all the hairs flow in the same direction and it adds to the durability of the hair.
Note: Not all Raw or Virgin Remy hair products are genuine or equal. Customers have advised us that not all Remy hair is Remy hair based on their experiences. They advised the hair systems purchased claimed the hair was Remy, but it was not. Most said their hair systems, mainly wigs only lasted after the first wash and less than a few months. We at Divas advises you to be sure you are purchasing the hair from a reputable and trustworthy source.

Care and Maintenance Quick Tips for Longevity...
Raw and Virgin Remy hair require proper care to keep them looking beautiful and healthy. Here are a few dos and don’ts for caring for your Raw and Virgin Remy hair:
Wash, condition, and moisturize the hair regularly.
Don’t wash the hair with hot water. Hot water can strip away the natural oils and moisture. Instead, use lukewarm or cold water.
Use a hair mask and hair oil once in a while to nourish and protect the hair.
Gently squeeze out the excess water with a towel. Don’t rub the hair too much. It can cause friction and frizz, which can damage the hair and make it look dull.
Comb the hair gently with a wide-tooth comb or a paddle brush. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots.
Avoid pulling or tugging on your hair since doing this can cause breakage and damage.
Use a detangling spray or a leave-in conditioner to make the combing easier.
Use a heat protectant spray and a low-temperature setting on your styling tools if you want to curl or straighten your hair.
Limit using chemicals on the hair, i.e., hair color to avoid damaging the quality and longevity of the hair. If you want to color the hair, after receiving the hair system, use a professional.
Limit the use of alcohol-based products as it could cause drying and brittle hair which can cause matting and tangling.
Let the hair air dry or use a low-heat setting on your blow dryer.
