Comparison of Raw Indian Hair with Other Hair Types

The hair types are compared to get the one that suits you perfectly.

The analysis includes comparing major characteristics as explained below:

Hair Textures by Regions

By texture, we mean the overall appearance of the hair.

Raw Indian Hair Texture

Famous for its natural texture, which gives it softness and natural shine. The Curly Raw Indian Hair is thick with a natural wave pattern. As it is exposed to minimal chemical processing, it has intact cuticles, giving it a refined look. Owing to its texture, it blends seamlessly with natural hair.

Brazilian Hair

It's popularly known for its coarser texture, which provides thickness and a fuller look. It is available in various hair patterns, such as straight, wavy, and curly.

Brazilian Body Wave Hair is denser than Wavy Raw Indian Hair and blends naturally with African-American hair types, adding volume to hair. 

Peruvian Hair

This hair is softer and lighter, coarser than Indian hair but finer than Brazilian hair. Its wavy pattern blends to give a natural look.

It has a lower shine than Brazilian hair.

Malaysian Hair

We love this hair that has a luxurious and silky texture. It is heavier and thicker than Indian and Peruvian hair types. It requires care to maintain its sleek and smooth appearance.

Its hair pattern varies from Malaysian Silky Straight Hair to curls and waves.

Hair Longevity by Region

Raw Indian Hair

Indian Hair is famous for its durability and longevity. Its average life span is almost a year maybe more with proper Indian Hair Care Routine.

It can maintain its natural look and shine throughout its life. As raw Indian hair is unprocessed, it has retained its strength, making Indian hair highly durable. It can easily withstand harsh environmental pressures.

Brazilian Hair 

Our best seller at Private Label and is also known for its longevity, lasting up to 2 years with proper care. They have thicker hair strands, which make them less prone to breakage.

Their shine and texture remain intact throughout their life. However, their life is shorter than raw Indian hair due to their chemical processing for providing the specific texture.

Peruvian Hair

Peruvian hair can last considerably up to 1 year but is less durable than raw Indian and Brazilian hair.

Chemical processing significantly shortens its life span to achieve its characteristic texture, damaging the hair cuticle and reducing its strength and longevity. 

Malaysian Hair

Malaysian Hair has the shortest life span among all the hair types, usually around six to twelve months. 

They are resistant to breakage due to their thick hair strands, but their chemical processing has reduced their strength considerably.

Hair Styling Options by Region

All hair types provide a range of styling options depending on their hair quality, texture, and natural pattern.

Raw Indian Hair: provides the highest styling versatility due to its natural wavy patterns, adding volume and dimension to hairstyling. It can be straightened, curled, or shaped into waves according to your needs. As it retains its natural integrity, it responds to coloring like natural human hair.

Brazilian Hair: can be straightened for a sleek look but is excellent at holding curls. Due to its thick and dense nature, its curls are long-lasting. It can also be dyed or colored according to one's needs.

Peruvian Hair: is also versatile when it comes to styling. It holds curls instead of straight hair and allows for a similar Brazilian or dyed hair. However, their life can be shortened when exposed to frequent chemical treatments.

Malaysian Hair: is perfect for a sleek and polished look, as it is usually straight. It can hold curls but requires more effort, styling products, and heat tools than other hair types. Heat styling can lead to hair shedding.  Malaysian hair can be colored and dyed occasionally. 

Hair Cost by Region

Raw Indian Hair: is generally more costly than other hair types. This is because it is unprocessed and completely natural, which has increased its cost. However, its high quality, texture, longevity, and versatility make it the first choice of hair styling enthusiasts. 

Brazilian Hair: is moderately priced compared to raw Indian hair. However, its thickness and density are much higher than other types. Brazilian hair provides a voluminous look with less effort.

Peruvian Hair: is mid-range and more affordable than the above two types. It is of moderate quality, so it also has a moderate price. 

Malaysian Hair: is the most affordable hair extension option. It offers a high-quality look at a low price. The hair types mentioned above are affordable at Private Label Extensions.

Maintenance Requirements

Raw Indian Hair: Being 100% natural, requires minimum regular maintenance.

The main steps are regular washing and conditioning with gentle products. Washing cleans the hair of any product buildup, while conditioning helps prevent moisture retention and tangling.

Brazilian Hair: requires moderate maintenance. Due to its high density and volume, it is prone to tangling, which can be easily overcome by regular moisturizing and detangling. 

Peruvian Hair: is lightweight and less prone to tangling. They need regular conditioning to maintain their softness.

Malaysian Hair: requires the most minor maintenance because of its smooth and silky texture. This texture resists tangling and can maintain its shine with little effort.

Brazilian vs. Indian Hair

When selecting a hair extension, one must consider several aspects, such as texture, longevity, styling possibilities, pricing, and maintenance needs.

Raw Indian hair has emerged as an excellent option at a premium price due to its natural texture, durability, and versatility.

Brazilian hair provides a voluminous style with minimal care but has a shorter lifespan because of chemical processing.  At a middle price range, Peruvian hair offers a softer texture, modest durability, and styling versatility.

The least expensive hair type is Malaysian hair, which provides a sleek look with few care requirements but has the shortest lifespan.

Knowing these variables, you can choose the hair type that best suits your needs and preferences.💗💗
