Why Raw Hair Can Sometimes Be Static When You First Receive It

1. Understanding Why Raw Hair Feels Static

When you first receive raw hair, you might notice static or a slightly dry feel. This can be surprising, especially if you’ve invested in premium bundles. But the truth is, this has nothing to do with poor quality, instead, it’s all about how the hair has been shipped and stored.

2. The Role of Flight Shipping

Raw hair travels long distances before reaching you, often by air freight. During flights, the hair is tightly packed and exposed to extremely dry cabin air. In many cases, it’s vacuum-sealed for protection. This lack of moisture naturally causes the cuticles to dry out, leading to static when you open the bundles.

3. Why This Happens More with Raw Hair

Processed or virgin hair is often coated with silicones or chemicals to make it look shiny and sleek during shipping. Raw hair, on the other hand, is completely untouched, meaning it reacts just like natural hair would in dry conditions. While this can cause static at first, it’s actually proof that the hair hasn’t been coated with artificial products.

4. How to Revive Your Bundles

Luckily, restoring your raw hair is simple and quick. Here’s what I recommend:

Wash with a Sulphate-Free Shampoo – Gently cleanse your bundles to remove any particles from transit. Sulphate-free shampoo protects the cuticle and prevents further dryness.
Deep Condition – Apply a moisturising conditioner and leave it in for 10–15 minutes to replenish hydration.
Air Dry – Always let the hair air dry naturally instead of blasting it with heat.
Optional: Lightweight Serum – Add a small amount of serum or natural oil (like argan oil) to keep the hair smooth and frizz-free.

Final Thoughts

Static and dryness in raw bundles fresh out of the package is completely normal and caused by flight shipping, not by poor quality. Once washed and conditioned, the hair will spring back beautifully, showcasing the softness, shine, and longevity that make raw hair the best investment.
