Not sure whether to choose raw or virgin hair? You’re not alone.
At Brown Silk Hair, we know buying hair extensions is an investment — so knowing exactly what you’re buying is key to getting that flawless finish and long-lasting quality.
Here’s everything you need to know about the difference between raw and virgin hair — so you can choose what suits you best.
💎 What Is Raw Hair?
Raw hair is 100% unprocessed human hair, collected from a single donor and left completely untouched — no steam curling, no chemical treatments, no fillers. It’s as natural as it gets.
- Full cuticle aligned
- Thick from root to tip
- Can be coloured, bleached, and heat styled
- Often sourced directly from regions like the Philippines, Vietnam, India or Cambodia
Think: real texture, real longevity, real luxury.
At Brown Silk Hair, our Raw Filipino Straight Bundles are a perfect example of premium raw hair that lasts years with proper care.

✨ What Is Virgin Hair?
Virgin hair is still 100% human and never chemically processed, but it may go through light steam processing to achieve a specific curl pattern or texture.
- Still very high-quality
- More uniform curl patterns
- Softer, more manageable feel
- Great for curly installs and blending with natural hair
It’s ideal if you want versatility and consistency without compromising on quality.
Our Curly Clip-Ins are crafted from premium virgin hair that mimics natural curls beautifully. https://www.brownsilkhair.com/products/curly-clip-in-hair-extensions
