Virgin hair extensions are made from 100% human hair, which has never undergone chemical processing or treatment. This simply means the hair is in its most natural state where no prior dyeing, perming, or bleaching has been done. The cuticles of virgin hairs are in line and intact, ensuring no tangling can occur to disturb the hair's smooth and shiny nature. It is a real hair wig.

Virgin hair extensions are much better in quality and last longer than synthetic or processed hair extensions. Synthetic hair is made from artificial fibres, which makes it look and feel less natural. Heat, as well as coloring techniques, can easily damage them. The processed human hair is subjected to bleach or colored and, therefore, by chemical treatment, its life gets reduced, making it frizzy and quickly broken into tangles.

When properly taken care of, virgin hair extensions can last from six months and even up to over a year. Durability is solely reliant on the level of maintenance, use of heat appliances, and how often you wear them. Regular deep conditioning and gentle handling will help extend their life.

• Fusion: The 'tip' is bonded to natural hair by a keratin adhesive and heat tool.
