Soft Kinky Curly vs. Kinky Curly Hair: What’s the Difference?Updated 3 days ago
One of the most common questions we receive is: “What’s the difference between Soft Kinky Curly and Kinky Curly hair?” At first glance, they look similar—but the sourcing, texture, and exclusivity set them apart. Here’s a clear breakdown so you can shop with confidence.
1. The Soft Kinky Curly Difference
Our Soft Kinky Curly wefts are made from 100% raw Burmese human hair. Because this hair is completely unprocessed, it has a natural luster, slight frizz (around 13%), and the authentic feel of raw curls. The texture is dense and blends seamlessly with natural 3B–3C curl patterns.
Raw Burmese hair is harder to source than virgin hair, which adds to its exclusivity and plays a role in pricing. Customers love this option for its longevity—lasting up to 24 months with proper care—and its true raw beauty that evolves over time.
