Wholesale hair: Categories of human hair

According to common knowledge, we often think that there is only one type of human hair, which is human hair. However, based on the characteristics and quality of wholesale hair, human hair is divided into 3 main types: Raw Hair, Virgin Hair and Remy Hair.

  • Raw hair
wholesale-hair-8.jpg

Wholesale hair – Raw hair

Raw hair is human hair cut from 2-3 donors, this is the most basic type of hair, has not undergone any processing, has many similar characteristics to Virgin hair, but the quality is a bit lower than Virgin hair. Wholesale raw hair vendors are very interested in raw hair because their texture proves that they are 100% human hair.

  • Virgin hair

Virgin hair: This is the type of hair that is cut directly from a human head, without the mix of many different hair substances and has never been chemically processed, so all hairs have the same uniformity. Virgin is also known as “Virgin hair from one donor”.

This is considered the highest quality natural hair extension and is especially used for those who need to bleach or dye their hair to light colors like #613, White or all other Blond colors,…

  • Remy hair

Remy is a hair extension that is mixed from many different human heads, not processed. To create a bundle of remy hair, the types of hair grafted on need to be similar in quality and characteristics of the hair.

Although remy hair is hair mixed from many people, it is still of good quality, so using remy hair as a hair extension can completely create many hairstyles such as bone straight, curly hair, … or for dyeing. However, remy hair is not of the same high quality as Virgin, so it is not possible to bleach or create extensions with bright colors like Virgin hair.

Second choice for wholesale hair: Blend hair

In addition to human hair, there is another type of hair that is quite popular for wholesale hair, which is blend hair. This is a type of hair that is mixed between human hair and synthetic hair in ratios like 3:7 or 2:8.

Synthetic hair – a not bad option for wholesale hair

With the outstanding advances of Chinese hair extension technology, synthetic hair is considered the most exported wholesale hair product in this country of billions of people.

wholesale-hair-12.jpg

Synthetic hair – a not bad option for wholesale hair

Synthetic hair is a type of hair from synthetic fibers coated with a layer of silicon on the surface, so they have a structure and smoothness similar to real hair that is quite high and will be difficult to recognize if the buyer just looks at it. However, this coating will fade after a few washes, when the hair will smell dry and easy to tangle. Customers who buy wholesale hair from synthetic hair will not last long and cause a lot of damage to the original hair. This is also the reason why recently China has received many poor reviews from customers about hair quality.
