Not only are your private body being referred to as virgin anymore, but now even the hair on your head! For some people, this may be a surprising term, virgin hair, but it’s actually something that’s been mentioned way back.
What is virgin hair?
The definition of virgin hair is hair that is completely unprocessed. Meaning you have never had your hair permed, rebonded, dyed, or have had it gone through any chemical processes to make it anything other than its natural look. Some people and salons even raise the bars for their virgin hair meaning it requires the hair to have not been exposed to harsh heats from blow dryers or even harsh agents found in cigarette smoke. The cleaner and purer the hair, the better. The more virgin.
What is it used for?
Many people now have actually very thin hair. It can either be because it runs through the family, your hair falls out quick, or sometimes it’s been through too many processes that it’s begun to thin out. When people with virgin hair get a haircut, the hair is usually saved and sold. Whoever buys these bundles of beautiful hair will usually make them into wigs or even hair extensions.
Everyone knows that wigs are used to cover or hide a person’s natural hair. This is done for fashion usually, but some people do it because of their cultural purpose of religious belief. Hair extensions, on the other hand, can either be done in the confides of your home or at a salon. When you get hair extensions in a salon, they connect hair from other people onto the hairs already on your head to achieve longer lengths. This takes time and is often very costly. You can also buy hair extensions from stores or salons that are easy to put on for anybody. The aim of these hair extensions is to make your hair look longer.
