Quality & Differences

What exactly is Raw Hair?
Raw Hair refers to 100% virgin human hair that has never been chemically treated. The cuticles are intact and aligned in the same direction, guaranteeing exceptional natural shine and a lifespan of 3 to 5 years.
What is the difference between Raw Hair and treated extensions?
Raw Hair: Virgin hair, 3-5 year lifespan, can be colored and styled freely, permanent natural shine.
Treated extensions: Chemically treated hair, lasts 6-12 months, fixed color and style, artificial shine that fades.
How can I verify that my extensions are truly Raw Hair?
Each NAHA HAIR order includes a numbered certificate of authenticity. You can also perform the burn test: burn a hair; if it smells like burnt hair (not plastic), it's 100% human hair.
Why is Raw Hair more expensive?
Raw hair is more expensive to buy but much more economical in the long run. It lasts 3-5 years versus 6-12 months for processed extensions, making it more cost-effective.

Practical Questions

Can I sleep with my extensions in?
Yes! Braid your hair before bed or use a satin bonnet/pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent tangles. This overnight protection will prolong the life of your extensions.
Can I do sports with my extensions?
Yes! Tie your hair in a ponytail or braid during exercise. Wash it after an intense workout to remove sweat. The extensions stay in place very well during physical activity.
Are the extensions visible?
No, not if they're applied correctly and the color/texture is right. They blend perfectly with your natural hair. No one will know you're wearing extensions unless you tell them!
Can I reuse my extensions after removal?
Yes! High-quality Raw Hair extensions can be reused multiple times if properly cared for. This is especially true for clip-in extensions and certain techniques like micro-rings.
Do you deliver everywhere in France?
Yes! 24-48 hour delivery in mainland France with Colissimo tracked service. Free delivery on orders over €150. Overseas territories: 3-5 days. International: please contact us.
