What do we mean when we use the term “virgin hair”?
Virgin hair is hair that has never been chemically treated with products such as colour, perms, or relaxers. It is often the easiest hair to lighten, as it is generally healthy in terms of elasticity and porosity, and it does not require the extra challenge of lifting through artificial pigment.
