Raw hair is 100% pure human hair that hasn’t been chemically altered. When it’s truly authentic, it’s the most natural and long lasting option, often lasting 5 years plus with proper care. Raw hair usually comes in natural textures like straight, wavy, and curly. It’s made to be reinstalled again and again, holds curls beautifully, and takes colour well with the right technique, while still looking luxury after wear.

Virgin hair is also real human hair, but it’s usually lightly processed (often by steam) for a more consistent finish or to create styled textures. That’s why textures like body wave, loose deep wave, water wave, and 613 hair are typically classed as virgin, because they’ve been altered from the hair’s natural state. Our virgin hair is high quality and still luxury, just a little more ready to wear day to day.

If you’re buying truly authentic raw hair bundles, then yes, they’re usually the better long term investment. Raw hair is pure hair, meaning it hasn’t been processed or altered, so it tends to last longer and stay reusable. With proper care, raw hair bundles can be reinstalled for 5 years plus, hold curls and heat styling beautifully, and lift to 613 when colouring is done correctly.

Virgin hair bundles can still be a great option, especially when the quality is high. Virgin hair is often lightly processed for a more uniform finish and easier day to day wear, which is why many women choose it when they want something more low maintenance. Our South Asian hair is a perfect example. It’s lightly processed for consistency and ease, but still gives a luxury finish and can last a long time with the right routine.

Truthfully, you can’t confirm “raw” with one quick test at home. But you can spot strong clues by doing a few simple checks on a small section of hair. A clarifying shampoo test can reveal coating or tint, a burn test can confirm it’s human hair (not synthetic), and a strand test can show how the hair lifts when colouring is done correctly. A gentle cuticle scrape can also reveal build-up or coating on the strand.

The most reliable sign is consistency over time. Truly raw hair holds up across washes and re-installs when it’s cared for properly.

All human hair can shed lightly because hair is hair. With quality raw hair bundles, shedding should be minimal, not excessive. Heavy shedding is usually linked to weft construction, rough handling, or friction at night. The right routine, gentle detangling, and protecting your hair while you sleep makes a big difference.

Both are luxury options, but the finish is slightly different.

Raw Indian hair bundles usually feel fuller with more natural body. They’re a favourite for leave-out installs, especially if you have thicker natural hair like 4C, because the blend looks realistic and effortless.

Raw Vietnamese hair bundles are known for a smoother, silkier look. They’re perfect if you love sleek styles, relaxed-texture blends, and that polished finish. Both options work beautifully for sew-ins, wigs, and versatile styling.

Yes, raw hair can be dyed and it takes colour beautifully with the right technique. For best results, always do a strand test first and use a professional if you’re lifting lighter, because bleaching and lightening requires extra care to keep the hair soft and long lasting.

Single donor raw hair means your bundle comes from one person, not hair mixed from multiple donors. This is important because when hair is mixed, you can end up with different textures, different strength levels, and different “behaviours” in one install, which is where tangling and inconsistency can start.

All NyromiHair raw hair bundles are single donor, so you get one consistent quality, one consistent texture, and a better wear over time.

Raw hair is expensive because it’s a long term investment. When it’s truly raw, the hair keeps its quality over time, so you can reinstall it again and again and it still looks good. You’re paying for longevity, consistency, and performance.

Instead of buying hair over and over, you buy once and keep it in rotation. With true raw hair, you can also expect minimal shedding and tangling, plus hair that holds curls, takes colour well, and stays luxury with proper care.

We always recommend washing and deep conditioning your raw hair bundles before install. Use a good shampoo, follow with a moisturising conditioner or deep conditioner, then let the hair air dry. Keep it simple. The goal is clean, soft hair with minimal product build up before you install.

Yes. NyromiHair raw hair bundles work for sew ins, quick weaves, and wig making. If you’re making a wig, pair your bundles with our HD closures or frontals for a clean, luxury finish.

We recommend keeping the same origin for one install. Raw Indian hair bundles and Raw Vietnamese hair bundles wear slightly differently. Indian hair tends to have more natural body and texture, while Vietnamese hair is usually sleeker and silkier. Keeping one origin helps the install look more consistent from bundle to bundle.

Our raw hair bundles come in a natural black to soft natural brown tone, with slight variation from bundle to bundle because it’s real hair. If you prefer a deeper shade, we also offer top quality jet black options for a more uniform look.

Yes. All NyromiHair raw hair bundles are true to length. For wavy and curly textures, lengths are measured in the stretched state, which is standard, but you will always receive the length you paid for.

Raw Indian hair is 100% human hair sourced from India that’s kept in its natural state. It usually has a natural body to it, blends beautifully, and wears soft and full when it’s truly raw.

Yes, authentic raw Indian hair is amazing, but quality depends on the donor hair and the hair company’s sourcing. Because it’s real hair, you want a vendor that’s consistent, transparent, and strict about quality, so your bundles stay soft, minimal shedding, and long lasting over time.
