WHAT IS VIRGIN HAIR?
In the world of human hair wigs and hair extensions, virgin hair refers to hair collected from a single donor, with all the hair cuticles pointing in the same direction. Unlike other types of hair used to make human hair wigs and extensions, such as remy hair and non-remy hair, virgin hair undergoes minimal (or almost non) physical and chemical processing.
This is also why virgin human hair is called unprocessed virgin hair.
Keswigs is a wig maker specialized in crafting human hair wigs. Over the years, we have collaborated with numerous hairstylists and celebrities to produce various high-quality human hair wigs.
Some hair vendors might emphasize that their virgin hair is not processed with hair dye or bleach. While it’s true that when we purchase virgin hair, it’s essential to ensure that it has not been chemically treated for quality assurance, the most crucial factor is whether the hair comes from the same donor.

Virgin Hair: The Best Hair for Wigs, Weaves, and Extensions.
If you seek healthy, beautiful, and long-lasting hair, virgin hair is undoubtedly the optimal choice. Retaining nearly the same cuticle structure as natural hair and free from chemical damage, virgin hair stands out as a superior option.
Virgin hair offers maximum flexibility. Even after purchasing high-quality virgin hair wigs or extensions, should you decide to change the color or style down the line, these wigs can still be dyed, bleached, and styled.
Hair dye, hair bleach, and styling products can damage your hair quality, if the hair itself is not of the best quality (the hair cuticles are already somewhat damaged), it may become soft and weak.
Here at Keswigs, we do offer colored virgin hair wigs, you might wonder if these colored hairs are still considered virgin hair. The answer is yes, as long as they are obtained from a single donor and have not undergone bleaching when purchased.
If you are planning to get a colored human hair wig, try to go for one made with virgin hair to still get a fabulous wig that can last a very long time.
How Long Does Virgin Hair Last?
Typically, virgin hair can last for at least a year with proper care. However, if it’s virgin hair wigs crafted by Keswigs, they often have a lifespan of two years or more.
Taking good care of your virgin hair wigs or extensions includes the following aspects: brush, wash and clean your wigs regularly, use conditioner, hair oil, and hair masks, store your wigs correctly, and avoid excessive heat styling.
What is Virgin Remy Hair？
When you come across the term “remy,” it actually refers to remy hair, which is a different hair type from virgin hair. However, many hair vendors are savvy to the fact that virgin hair can fetch a higher price and is more attractive to buyers. Consequently, they incorporate the term “virgin” to highlight the quality of their wigs/extensions.
Yet, in reality, “virgin remy hair” products cannot compare to wigs/extensions crafted from authentic virgin hair.
