Hair Type Guide
Raw vs. Virgin Hair
At Supremacy Beauty, transparency and quality are our top priorities. We believe our clients deserve to fully understand the hair they are investing in — especially when choosing between raw hair and virgin hair.
All of our wigs and bundles are made using ethically sourced, premium human hair, with careful attention to quality, longevity, and performance.
Below is a clear breakdown to help you decide which option is best for you.
What Is Raw Hair?
Raw hair is 100% unprocessed human hair. It has not been chemically altered, steam-processed, or coated in silicone. The cuticles remain completely intact and aligned in their natural state.
Because raw hair is untouched, it offers the most authentic texture, strength, and lifespan available.
Raw Hair Characteristics
- Unprocessed and chemical-free
- Natural texture patterns that may vary slightly
- Full cuticle alignment for minimal shedding and tangling
- Can be professionally colored, toned, or styled
- Longest-lasting hair option with proper care
Our raw hair wigs are made using the same raw hair as our bundles, ensuring consistency in quality across all Supremacy Beauty products.
What Is Virgin Hair?
Virgin hair is 100% human hair that has undergone minimal processing, typically light steam processing to achieve a uniform texture or pattern. While still high quality, virgin hair offers a more consistent appearance compared to raw hair.
Virgin Hair Characteristics
- Lightly processed (no harsh chemicals)
- Uniform texture and curl pattern
- Cuticles remain intact
- Can be styled and lightly colored
- Easier to maintain for everyday wear

Which One Should You Choose?
Choose Raw Hair If:
- You want the most natural look and feel
- You plan to color or customize your hair
- You value longevity and premium quality
- You don’t mind natural texture variations
Choose Virgin Hair If:
- You prefer consistency and uniform texture
- You want a low-maintenance option

Our Quality Promise
Whether you choose raw or virgin hair, every Supremacy Beauty unit is:
• Thoroughly inspected for quality and consistency
• Constructed for long-lasting durability and all-day comfort
• Designed to maintain fullness, balance, and natural movement
• Crafted using the same trusted sourcing standards across bundles and wigs
For most wig collections, lace type and lace length are automatically matched to the selected wig length to ensure proper density, fit, and a seamless finish. For Indian and Burmese wigs, matching lace is available up to 20 inches; longer lengths require manual lace selection as noted on the product page.
Important Notes
- Raw hair may show slight variations in texture, color tone, or wave pattern — this is a sign of authenticity, not a flaw
- Proper care is essential for maintaining both raw and virgin hair
- Custom colors and special requests may require additional processing time and approval
