Virgin hair is considered to be hair collected from multiple unknown human hair sources, non-cuticle aligned and chemically processed to look visually appealing. The lifespan of virgin hair can be anywhere from 1 to 6 months. These type of hair extensions are very cheap to acquire and are manufactured in Chinese hair factories, where they are submerged in dangerous chemicals and acids to be visually pleasing. Hair retailers neglect their duty of care and advertise these extensions as "virgin hair" without disclosing the chemicals used. Customers often experience adverse skin and scalp reactions, as well as irreversible hair loss due to being exposed to the chemicals. At Schwan Hair we will never offer "virgin hair" to our customers, and conduct vigorous quality control before and after placing our vetted hair suppliers products into our stock.
