The Difference Between Raw and Virgin Hair Extensions

The hair industry is booming, and with that comes a lot of misconceptions—especially when it comes to Raw vs. Virgin Hair.

If you’ve ever been confused about which one is better, what’s truly natural, or why some hair lasts longer than others, this guide will break it all down so you can make an informed choice.

• Raw hair comes from a single donor, meaning the hair in each bundle is from one person only, ensuring uniformity in texture and quality.
• Virgin hair is collected from multiple donors and blended together for a more processed look.

At Bundles and Drops of Glam, we source our Raw Indian Hair from the best South Indian vendors, ensuring each bundle meets the highest standards of quality and authenticity.

• Raw hair is completely unprocessed, meaning no chemicals, no coatings, and no alterations—just pure, natural hair that behaves like your own.
• Virgin hair undergoes chemical processing to create different textures, lusters, and finishes.

Raw hair maintains its natural look and feel, while virgin hair can feel silkier or shinier due to the treatment it has received.

At Bundles and Drops of Glam, we offer 100% Raw Hair, but some of our curly and wavy textures have been steam-processed to achieve their curl pattern.

• Raw Indian Straight, Wavy, and Curly Hair are completely natural textures.
• Body Wave and other curly textures are still Raw Hair, but they’ve been steam-treated to form their curl pattern—without any chemicals.

This method ensures you get the best of both worlds—pure raw hair with a gorgeous, defined curl pattern that lasts.

• Raw hair requires more care, just like natural hair. It responds to products, heat, and styling the same way your real hair would.
• Virgin hair is easier to maintain because the processing makes it more resistant to humidity and frizz.

Since all of our hair is raw, it’s important to use proper maintenance techniques to keep it looking fresh and full of life.

✨ We recommend using Drops of Glam Hair Care for the best results:

• Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo – Removes buildup and keeps hair clean without stripping moisture.
• Detangle Smoothie Conditioner – Restores hydration and keeps strands soft.
• Drops of Glam Hair Growth Oil – Perfect for sealing in moisture and maintaining scalp health.

Treat your extensions like luxury hair and they’ll reward you with long-lasting wear and minimal shedding.

• Raw Hair (Untouched Natural Textures)
  • Indian Straight
  • Indian Wavy
  • Indian Curly
• Raw Hair (Steam-Treated Curl Patterns)
  • Body Wave
  • Tighter Curls & Deep Waves

Raw hair comes in limited, natural textures, while virgin hair typically offers a wider range of artificial curl patterns.

• Raw hair comes in natural colors only, including black, brown, and very rare shades of red, grey, and blonde.
• Virgin hair is pre-dyed, meaning it can come in various shades since it undergoes processing.

If you want natural color that can be custom-dyed, raw hair is your best option.

If you're looking for long-lasting, high-quality hair that looks and feels 100% real, Raw Hair is the gold standard.

✔ If you want untouched, chemical-free hair that behaves like your own → Choose Raw Hair.
✔ If you prefer a natural curl pattern without chemicals → Choose our steam-treated Raw Hair options.

At Bundles and Drops of Glam, we provide the best Raw Indian Hair with natural and steamed textures—ensuring that you get luxury-quality hair that lasts.
