FAQs About Virgin Hair

This means the hair remains softer and silkier, and is useful in producing higher-quality wigs, extensions and hairpieces. Remy hair is not necessarily virgin hair, since it may be colored or permed. Its defining features are an intact cuticle and the manner in which it was harvested. We provide virgin cuticle aligned hair that is not chemically processed.
