Virgin hair refers to hair that has never been chemically treated or processed in any way. This includes treatments like perms, bleaching, coloring, and even highlights or ombré. It's essentially hair that is completely untouched by any artificial changes to its structure or color.
Virgin hair is often sought after for its natural texture and healthy state, making it highly desirable for hair extensions and wigs. It's also commonly referred to as "natural hair" in the context of hair extensions.
Examples of treatments that would disqualify hair from being considered virgin:
- Perms
- Bleaching
- Coloring
- Highlights
- Ombré
- Straightening treatments
- Relaxers
- Keratin treatments
Note: Even if all chemically treated hair has been cut off, the new growth is still not considered virgin because it has grown from a scalp that has been exposed to chemicals.
