It is very difficult to tell the difference between natural hair types on the market. It takes many years of working in the hair industry, gathering a lot of experience to be able to accurately identify the differences of each type.

  1. Virgin Hair (original natural human hair that has not been treated with chemicals such as: curling, straightening, dyeing). Virgin hair is considered the most perfect hair type today. This is a real natural hair that has not been affected by chemicals when it comes to beauty.

    Virgin hair is of higher quality than man-made synthetic hair. They are selected from young women with long hair, the hair itself is not structurally changed due to the chemical components contained in curling, straightening and dyeing drugs. This means it is 100% pure hair, very strong and does not break easily. The price is quite expensive, so the effect is well worth it, Virgin hair has a longer time to use than other types of real hair.
  2.  Remy Hair (Natural real hair may be partially affected by chemicals). Remy hair has the same structure as Virgin hair but has different properties. The cuticle on the outside of the hair is arranged in one direction. This means that the hair follicles on the scalp are all aligned and grow naturally in a certain direction. When the hairs grow in the same direction, it will help the hair become smooth. Most of the wigs made with Remy hair are not tangled after washing and drying.


Compared with Virgin hair, Remy hair is not appreciated for its quality. Because the input selection is not too strict, the manufacturers have collected long hairs that are dyed or gently styled (With this type of hair, the cuticles have been gradually lost, so the hair is not good flexibility and elasticity).

  1. Non-Remy Hair (cheap real hair). Non-Remy hair is usually obtained from a variety of sources such as: orphanages, prisons, hospitals, men's barber shops and many more. With this collection method, the hair material is not guaranteed because this is a synthetic blend of many hair types (healthy, weak, bad, tangled hair). On the other hand, the direction of arranging the cuticle outside the hair is different, so the hair quality after finishing is very mixed.

    Non-Remy hair when used can appear inevitable problems such as greasy, tangled, dry and broken hair. To overcome this problem, the manufacturer has soaked the hair with a specialized compound to remove the outer cuticle layer of the hair. Next, they coat the hair with a large amount of silicone mixture to fill in the holes, making the hair soft and strong. The first time when using them brings a sense of security and comfort, but only for a short period.
