The Complete Guide to Hair: Source, Grade, Texture, Form & Install

Guidance for shopping, care, shipping, returns, samples, custom pieces, and salon questions.

The hair trade is full of fog — “remy,” “virgin,” “raw,” “Brazilian” all thrown around loosely. This is our plain-English map of it. Almost any hair can be understood by answering a few separate questions: where it came from, what was done to it, what it physically is, and how it attaches. Below is every part of that picture — with the honest version of each.

Written from the Prarvi workbench by Preeti Gupta — chemical engineer and founder, a decade sourcing raw single-donor Indian hair. We’d rather explain the hair honestly than sell you a perfect-looking lie.

Only three textures are truly natural; the rest are steam-set. Match by hair type, not guesswork:

5 · Form (what it physically is)

The same hair can be built into many forms. Start with the overview, then the deep-dives:

6 · Install methods

7 · Sizing & care
