Frequently Asked Questions (Saori Hair Edition)
Your Saori Hair Questions, Simplified
What are the most popular hair lengths available?
The most commonly requested lengths are 14" to 22" — ideal for natural-looking installs and easy styling. These sizes are widely preferred because they offer versatility without the high maintenance of longer hair. Lengths like 26", 28", and 30" are available, but they require more upkeep and are less common for everyday wear.
How does SAORI source such long hair, like 30 or 32 inches?
Great question — lengths like 28", 30", and 32" are extremely rare and deeply meaningful.
In South India, it is a sacred tradition for women to shave their entire head at temples as a spiritual offering. This isn’t for fashion — it’s a personal, centuries-old ritual. Because the hair is cut directly from the root, we can collect intact, long strands from a single donor, which is essential for creating premium raw extensions.
This kind of full-head offering is unique to India — no other country has a tradition like this that results in such long, healthy, unprocessed hair.
In contrast, places like China or Vietnam usually collect hair in parts, from salons or floor sweepings — not from single donors.
That’s why authentic 30"+ raw hair is almost exclusively sourced from India, and why SAORI prioritizes ethical, temple-based sourcing.
Key Facts:
- Takes years of growth to reach 30”+
- Represents less than 5% of raw hair available
- Features naturally aligned cuticles for no tangling or matting
- 100% free from chemical treatments
When you wear SAORI long hair, you’re not just wearing a product — you’re honoring a tradition and supporting a community-rooted practice.
Why are Curly and Wavy textures so popular, but harder to find?
Curly and Wavy textures are loved for their volume, movement, and natural appearance. They blend seamlessly with textured or relaxed hair and offer styling versatility.
But here's the thing: these textures are rare in raw form. Real, unprocessed Indian hair naturally grows mostly straight or softly wavy. Deep waves and tight curls don’t occur often — and we don’t artificially create them with chemicals or steam.
At SAORI, we offer:
- No chemically permed textures
- No heat-induced curls
- No factory-made wave patterns
That’s why curly and deep wavy textures make up less than 20% of available raw hair. True curly hair accounts for under 5% of temple donations — making it rare and highly prized.
What textures do you offer, and which ones are easiest to find?
We offer three natural textures:
- Natural Straight
- Wavy (also referred to as Water Wave or Body Wave)
- Curly & Deep Wavy
Straight and Wavy textures make up about 80% of raw Indian hair, making them more readily available and easier to maintain.Curly textures, though beautiful and in high demand, represent just 5–10% of availability.Every texture we offer is completely raw and untreated — no steam processing, no artificial patterns.
What does "single donor" and "single drawn" hair mean?
- Single donor means each bundle comes from one individual, ensuring consistent color, texture, and natural fall.
- Single drawn means the hair is in its rawest form — thicker at the top and tapering toward the ends, just like natural human hair.
It’s the most authentic, natural-looking hair you can get — unlike mass-processed, uniform bundles from synthetic or blended sources.
Can I bleach or color this hair?
Yes! SAORI’s single donor raw Indian hair can be safely bleached or colored — even up to 613 blonde, provided it hasn’t been dyed before (for example, to cover grays).
Because it’s unprocessed, it accepts color beautifully when done by a professional. We highly recommend having color work done by a licensed stylist to maintain the hair’s integrity and longevity.
Why doesn’t SAORI hair have that ultra-shiny look like some other brands?
That extreme shine you often see in other brands usually comes from chemical coatings, especially silicone or acid treatments.
SAORI hair has a soft, natural sheen — not an artificial gloss. SAORI hair is:
- Washed using gentle shampoo and conditioner
- Sun-dried, not machine-dried
- Never treated with synthetic shine agents
That natural glow is part of its raw authenticity.
How is the hair cleaned and prepared before shipping?
Each bundle goes through a multi-step cleansing process:
- Soaked overnight to remove impurities
- Washed thoroughly using shampoo and conditioner
- Air-dried in natural sunlight
No harsh industrial chemicals are used. We also provide a fumigation certificate and ensure every bundle passes manual quality checks before it reaches you.
Are there any imperfections in raw hair?
Yes - and that’s a good thing.
Raw hair is real human hair, so you might occasionally notice things like a gray strand, slight texture variation, or uneven thickness. These are natural traits, not flaws.
Unlike factory hair, raw hair doesn’t aim for artificial perfection — it offers authentic beauty. That said, SAORI maintains a 95–99% accuracy rate in quality across all bundles.
What makes SAORI’s hair different from Chinese or Vietnamese hair?
Most Chinese and Vietnamese hair is factory-collected, then acid-washed, silicone-coated, and mixed from multiple sources.
SAORI hair is:
- Temple-donated in India
- Cut at the root for full cuticle alignment
- Never chemically processed or machine-treated
Other brands may use terms like “AAA+” or “luxury” — but these are often just marketing labels. SAORI stands for real, traceable, raw Indian hair — nothing less.
Is this hair safe for long-term wear and reuse?
Absolutely. With proper care, SAORI hair can last 12 to 24 months or more — and it can be reinstalled multiple times.
Tips to maximize lifespan:
- Use sulfate-free products
- Moisturize regularly
- Store hair properly when not in use
Because it’s raw hair, you treat it just like your own.
Why should I trust SAORI’s sourcing and ethics?
All of SAORI hair is ethically sourced from South Indian temples, where women donate their hair voluntarily.
We:
- Support local temple communities
- Source only through approved, traceable channels
- Never engage with gray market or unethical suppliers
Every bundle represents real people, real stories, and real traditions. You can wear it proudly.
Why doesn’t SAORI hair come in labeled grades like ‘AAA+’ or ‘9A’?
Because those grading systems are unregulated marketing terms, often used by factories to label mass-processed hair.
You’ll see “10A,” “12A,” or “Luxury Grade,” but there’s no industry standard behind them.
SAORI doesn’t need gimmicks. We provide:
- 100% raw, temple-sourced Indian hair
- Single-donor bundles
- No chemical processing
- Full ethical transparency
We let the product speak for itself.
Will SAORI hair tangle or shed over time?
Very minimally — and only if it’s not maintained properly.
SAORI bundles are cuticle-aligned, which means strands flow in one natural direction. This significantly reduces tangling and matting.
Shedding may occur if:
- Wefts are cut without sealing
- Rough brushing or combing is used
- The hair is overly bleached or chemically altered
With the right care, SAORI hair stays soft, smooth, and strong for months
What’s the difference between SAORI hair and other “perfect-looking” brands?
Think of it like this:
SAORI hair is a real apple — grown naturally, with a few natural imperfections, but full of real nutrients and flavor.
Most other hair on the market is like a polished artificial apple — shiny, flawless on the outside, but hollow or fake inside.
Other brands often use:
- Synthetic shine coatings
- Mixed donor hair
- Factory gloss that fades after a few washes
SAORI hair is:
- Single-donor, 100% raw
- Ethically sourced from South Indian temples
- Naturally beautiful with slight variations — just like real hair should be
What is silicone-coated hair, and why is it a problem?
Silicone-coated hair is usually low-quality hair that’s been chemically processed, stripped of its natural texture, and then coated with a synthetic silicone layer to look smooth, silky, and shiny.
It may look flawless on day one — but after 2–3 washes, the coating fades and the hair becomes dull, tangled, and unmanageable.
That’s why at SAORI, we never use silicone coatings. We sell pure, raw Indian hair that holds up for over a year, not just one weekend.
Why does SAORI hair look less shiny than some other brands?
Because we don’t fake it.
SAORI hair has a natural, healthy sheen — not the artificial, glassy shine you see on mass-market extensions.
Other brands often use acid baths and silicone spray to boost shine temporarily. It looks great for photos but doesn’t last.
SAORI hair is:
- 100% raw
- Never chemically coated
- Air-dried and sun-treated
Real hair isn’t overly glossy — it’s strong, authentic, and built to last.
Will SAORI hair lose its quality over time?
No — in fact, the opposite.
Because SAORI uses raw, unprocessed hair, it gets better with time — just like natural hair.
Other brands rely on synthetic coatings that wear off after a few washes, making the hair feel rough and unusable.
With SAORI:
- You can wash, condition, and reuse your bundles for up to 12–24 months
- There’s no artificial finish to wear off — just the real thing
How do I know if a product is silicone-coated?
Look for warning signs like:
- Excessive shine or a plastic-like gloss
- “AAA+” or “12A” grade labels (these aren’t real quality standards)
- Super-smooth bundles that tangle after 1–2 washes
- Hair that smells like chemicals or feels coated when wet
SAORI bundles are matte to semi-sheen, soft, and smell like clean hair — not like factory chemicals.
What does “shine fades but quality lasts” mean?
It means that super shiny hair isn't always good hair.
Hair with fake shine (from silicone or oil sprays) may sparkle in the package — but that shine doesn’t stick around.
Real quality comes from hair that:
- Is ethically sourced
- Has intact cuticles
- Maintains integrity wash after wash
At SAORI, we focus on substance over sparkle — because real hair should look and feel real.
Why doesn’t SAORI use grading terms like 9A, 10A, or Luxury?
Because those terms are totally unregulated — they’re just factory marketing tricks.
There’s no industry standard behind “10A” or “Grade 12A” — and every vendor defines it differently.
SAORI skips the gimmicks. Instead, we guarantee:
- Single-donor hair
- 100% raw, untouched texture
- Full transparency from root to result
No grading games. Just real, verified quality.
Is SAORI hair really worth the investment?
Absolutely. You’re not just buying bundles — you’re investing in:
- Durability — up to 2 years of use
- Styling freedom — bleach, dye, heat-style freely
- Transparency — ethically sourced and verified raw
- Real texture — not mass-produced gloss
Other brands may look good for a few days. SAORI looks good for a year or more.
Can I expect every SAORI bundle to look exactly the same?
No — and that’s the beauty of it.
Because SAORI hair is raw and unprocessed, no two bundles are identical. Slight variations in color, thickness, and pattern are normal — and they’re what prove your hair is real, not factory-made.
Uniformity often means chemical processing. At SAORI, uniqueness equals authenticity.
What’s wrong with chemically processed hair from other countries?
A lot of so-called “virgin hair” is:
- Collected from multiple people (sometimes from the floor or salons)
- Stripped using acid
- Coated with silicone to appear “perfect”
- Then marketed as “luxury” when it’s anything but
SAORI is the opposite:
- Single donor
- No acid, no blending
- Real texture, real strength
We deliver hair you can trust, reuse, and wear with pride.
How does SAORI support healthy hair habits for its customers?
By being honest and real.
We educate you on what real hair should feel like — not just how it should look on Instagram.
We encourage customers to:
- Use gentle, sulfate-free products
- Embrace natural texture
- Learn the story behind their bundles
Because beauty isn't just about shine — it’s about heritage, honesty, and hair that lasts.
