So Far, There is haven’t an Industry Standard in the Hair Industry. A Standard to named all kind of grade hair, A Standard to mark hair origin for each PCS of hair. A Standard to make sure that consumers will not spend a lot of money but buy poor-quality hair.

1. What is Raw Hair? And the difference between virgin
hair and raw hair
WHAT IS RAW HAIR?
So Far, There is haven’t an Industry Standard in the Hair Industry. A Standard to named all kind
of grade hair, A Standard to mark hair origin for each PCS of hair. A Standard to make sure that
consumers will not spend a lot of money but buy poor-quality hair. I am Freddy, Chiuin Hair
Founder who focus on Raw Hair for 8 Years, Let’s Talk About “ WHAT IS RAW HAIR?”
Usually, we canjudge whether it is raw hair from the following four points:
1. Raw Hair Origin
The world’s largest hair export region is Asia. and the largest hair origin in Asia is the
mountainous areas of Southeast China(Yunnan Province) and Southeast Asia. Another Big
Source is India. In the past 8 years, I travel to a lot of hair trading markets in the above
area(Not Included India), I get in touch with the local hair trader, In the process, I learned how
to distinguish ” RAW HAIR VS VIRGIN HAIR ” very specifically.

By the way, there have BIG HAIR SCAMS about the hair origin. Please forget the Brazilian Hair,
Malaysian Hair, Peruvian Hair, etc. fromnow. The undoubted hair origin is only Vietnamese
Hair, Cambodian Hair, Burmese Hair, Chinese Hair, and Indian Hair. Brazilian didn’t make hair
and process hair, neither Malaysian too.
Think About it, If Brazil is a country of origin, why Brazilian only sell the hair raw material to
China but don’t want to make it by themself? We can found a lot of Chinese vendors,
Vietnamese vendors, and Indian vendors on google. But we got ZERO Brazilian vendors selling
hair on google. That obviously doesn’t work, and it doesn’t conformto the normal business
and trade logic. In addition, some Brazilian clients also purchase hair fromme.

3. 2. Raw Hair Cuticle
First of all, Chiuin Hair Raw Hair must be cuticle aligned hair and single donor hair. as the
image shows, raw hair scales must be in the same direction and Intact cuticle, which mean
that the cuticles are in good condition and almost undamaged and all the cuticles are in the
same direction, this is the important standard to judge raw hair, it causes the hair to
tangle-free or tangles a lot.
It must be smooth and tangle-free, even if it styling to a wave pattern or curly pattern. Cuticle
aligned also make hair care become easy, shampoo, hair conditioner, and dry it naturally. And
you can get smooth and soft hair again and again. Another important point is LIFE SPAN. As the
result of the intact cuticle, raw hair bundles canlast 2-4 years Under the premise of a good
usage situation.

3. Patterns
Since Chiuin Hair Raw Hair hasn’t been Chemically acid treatment. Usually raw hair comes in
three patterns, natural straight, natural wavy( looks like body wave in a loose status ), natural
curly (looks like water wave ). All kind of Asian raw hair almost comes in these three patterns,
different countries may have a little bit different, for example, 80% of Chinese hair,
Vietnamese hair and Cambodian hair is natural straight and a little part is natural wavy. it’s
very hard to see raw hair fromSoutheast Asia with a natural curl pattern. In fact,Indian hair
can get more natural curl raw hair.

5. There is a misunderstanding
Raw Hair also styles into different patterns and is sold out in the hair factory. Many people
talking about hair come in different textures and it should only be virgin hair. And all raw hair
must be in the natural pattern. Hair bundles must look like in a natural pattern and it can be
called raw hair. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, The factory’s process of making texture can
make a texture that looks very natural. I canmake A virgin hair bundle into a natural wave and
tell you that’s raw hair natural pattern if I want. So, what is the conclusion? PLEASE REMEMBER
THAT TEXTURE IS ALWAYS NOT A JUDGE STANDARD TO JUDGE A RAW HAIR OR VIRGIN HAIR!!!

6. How to use it?
Undoubtedly, it is the limitation of raw hair if you can only sell according to these three natural
patterns. BUT why do people buy raw hair, what is raw hair’s advantage? The top quality, the
stronger hair, the longer last. Raw hair’s existence is to allow us to do all kinds of texture at will
and canlast a longer time. We can Feel free wearing raw hair like our own natural hair. THIS IS
THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OF RAW HAIR !!! Please feel free to style your raw hair. Top quality
hair only after using it can we know why it is more expensive than virgin hair.
4. Dyeability
Hot oil treatment
Dyeability is totally depends on the donor fromwho the hair cut from. we must first
understand the hot oil treatment before talking about raw hair dyeability. We know that hot oil
treatment is a very common hair care treatment. By hot oil treatment, you can make your hair
look fuller, shinier, and brighter.
As the following picture show, there has a big difference before and after hot oil
treatment. The principle of hot oil treatment is to make the hair scales open at a high
temperature, and then the hair conditioner is penetrated into the deep layers of the hair to
achieve the effect of repairing the hair. It makes the natural hair looks good, but Each time of
hot oil treatment will cause different degrees of damage to the hair scales, and the damage
is irreversible. Distinguish the integrity of the hair cuticle, we usually called it: Intact cuticle,
80% cuticle, 60% cuticle, damaged cuticle, etc.
Raw Hair VS Virgin Hair

The degree of hair scale damage will directly affect the dyeability of the hair. If you take a test
about raw hair and virgin hair dyeability by a light color hair dye, you may found that raw hair
always canbe dye into a lighter color,the reason is that the hair scales of raw hair is intact
cuticle.
High quality hair cut from donors to make the raw hair bundles should be intact cuticle. Once
the donor’s hair is often hot oil treatment. It is obviously not enough to become the raw

8. material of raw hair. So, do you remember the raw hair origin that we talking about in the
above paragraph? People living in the mountains of those regions in Yunnan Province, China,
and Southeast Asia, Their hair have never hot oil treatment in their entire lives. That is the best
quality hair in the world.
