You are ready to purchase the bundle and you will see "9A Unprocessed Brazilian Virgin Hair". What does it mean?

Well, the number "9A" is a hair grade. Like all other products in the world, hair extensions have different levels of quality. You can use hair grade to distinguish hair quality.

But what does each grade mean? In this article, we will uncover some truths about hair quality. It will help you make a decision the next time you buy human hair extensions.

Better Hair Has Higher Hair Grade

Hair extension is not just "good" or "bad". The hair quality can range from 7A, 8A, 9A to original hair to 10A, 11A, 12A grades. Better hair has a higher grade.

The origin, thickness, fullness and lifetime of hair are all factors to be considered when grading hair strands. The highest level is raw hair and virgin human hair. They are not chemically treated and can be used for several years with proper care.

7A And 8A Hair Is Non-Remy Hair

7A 8A hair extensions are the most popular hair type on AliExpress, eBay and Amazon (you should not buy high-quality hair on these shopping platforms anyway...). This low grade hair is called non-remy hair. Non-remy hair is collected from the ground, usually with cuticles facing in different directions.

Non-Remy hair is usually acid bathed to be stripped to make it look smooth. Some hair is dyed black to make it look healthier. This hair will become a mess after washing. Some very cheap hair can even be synthetic blends or animal hair blends. You don't want these hairs to be worn on your head because it can cause skin problems and rashes.

9A Remy Hair Is a Good Choice On a Budget

We always hear people say "let people buy what they can afford". 9A Remy hair is a good choice for people on a budget. About 60% to 80% of the cuticle of Remy's hair is intact. From hair strands to hair tips, it is not the most fluffy hair, and it is definitely not virgin hair, but it can still be used for a period of time (6 months to a year).

However, if you are looking for a simple and fast weave change without spending too much money, then Remy hair should be for you.

If you are a hairdresser or hairdressing business owner and are looking for a reliable hair seller, we recommend that you request samples of each grade to find the quality you like.

10A, 11A Virgin Hair Provides Longevity And Versatility

10A and 11A hair are virgin hair. They are usually raw hair that has not been chemically treated. This hair has 100% of the cuticle on the same direction. You can expect thick, healthy and super soft hair at this grade.

The difference between 10A and 11A is only the thickness of the hair strands. Compared to 10A bundles, 11A bundles generally have longer strands and fewer flying wires. If the two strands are the same length, the ends of hair 10A will look thinner than hair 11A. The 10A weft is also longer, which means you may need more leads to get the same fullness as 11A hair.

If you are already buying 10A hair, we suggest you choose 11A because it is the best virgin hair!

12A And Raw Hair Are The Most Luxurious Hair

12A Virgin hair is the fullest hair. This is a double drawn hair, which means that the strand has 95% long strands. LeShine Hair provides double drawn hair, which cuts the fullest hair at the end. Our double drawn is to fold the donated hair in half so that the length of each hair is the same.

12A and hair growth are the purest and best raw hair. Raw hair is also called donor hair. It is collected from the pigtail of a single donor and then selected from the bundle.
