Raw hair is the highest-quality form of human hair. It has not been chemically processed, steamed, acid-washed or altered. The cuticles remain aligned, which helps the hair look natural, feel soft and last longer with the right care.
Virgin hair is also 100% human hair, but it would have gone through light processing to create a specific texture, curl pattern or finish. This makes it a great option if you want a consistent look, especially for textured styles.
At LopeLocks UK, our raw and virgin human hair extensions are carefully selected for quality, movement, fullness and long-term wear.
Choose your texture based on the finish you want and how you plan to wear the hair.
Raw Vietnamese Straight is best for sleek, polished installs, wigs and sew-ins with a smooth, full finish.
Raw Indian Wavy is best for natural movement, soft waves and a fuller, more voluminous textured finish.
Kinky Straight is best for blown-out natural hair, relaxed leave-out styles and natural-looking sew-ins.
Kinky Curly is best for defined curls, volume and curly leave-out styles.
Kinky Coily is best for tighter coils, fuller installs and a more textured natural finish.
Light Yaki is best for relaxed hair, silk-press finishes or customers who want a soft, natural straight texture without a bone-straight look.
The number of bundles depends on your desired fullness, length and style.
As a general guide:
12"–16": 2 bundles for a natural look, 3 for extra fullness.
18"–20": 2–3 bundles, depending on your desired volume.
22"–24": 3 bundles for a natural full look, 4 for extra volume.
26" and above: 4 bundles are recommended for a fuller finish.
For curly, coily or textured hair, the hair naturally appears fuller, but longer lengths still need more bundles to maintain fullness from root to tip.
You can choose either option depending on the style you want.
A leave-out install works well if your natural hair blends closely with the extension texture and you are comfortable styling your leave-out.
A closure install is best if you want a seamless look with less daily styling, less heat on your natural hair and a more protective finish.
If you are unsure whether your leave-out will blend, we recommend choosing a closure for the most polished result.
Yes. Our human hair extensions can be styled with heat, including straighteners, curling wands and blow dryers.
We recommend using a heat protectant and keeping heat to a moderate temperature to preserve the quality of the hair. Excessive heat can loosen curl patterns over time, especially on textured, curly and coily extensions.
For best results, always style gently and avoid using high heat daily.
