Whether hair extensions are chemically treated or completely natural depends on the brand and type of extensions you choose. Here's a breakdown to help clarify:
Completely Natural Hair Extensions
Chemically Treated Hair Extensions
Quick Tip:
If you're buying from a trusted brand, they will usually label the hair as:

- Also known as virgin hair, this type has never been chemically processed (no dye, bleach, perm, or relaxer).
- These are often the highest quality and most durable.
- Great for coloring or styling because they behave like natural hair.
- Those who want to color the hair extensions themselves
- People looking for long-lasting, premium-quality extensions

- These are usually dyed, bleached, or texture-altered to match a wider variety of styles and colors.
- Most mass-market extensions fall into this category.
- Even Remy hair may be dyed or processed to offer uniform color and finish.
- People who want ready-to-wear hair in a specific color or texture
- Those who don’t plan to re-dye or chemically alter the extensions

If you're buying from a trusted brand, they will usually label the hair as:
- Virgin Remy Hair (untreated)
- Processed Remy Hair (chemically treated for color or texture)
- Non-Remy Hair (often mixed, lower quality)
