This is not true in the slightest.
There are only three types of hair in the market: non-remy, remy, and virgin. 
Non-remy is defined as hair that is not cuticle aligned.
Remy hair is cuticle aligned hair, but it has been chemically processed in some way that takes away from its pureness. This type of hair normally will lift to only #27.
Virgin hair is the purest form of hair out there that will lift to 613 and beyond to a platinum white (sometimes… depending on the source). It has a slight coarseness to it as the cuticles haven’t been stripped from chemical processing.
“Virgin” and “raw” can be used interchangeably, but normally when we say “raw” we mean unprocessed hair sourced from outside of China. The difference in coarseness lies in the fact that the hair strands of Chinese person will not have the same characteristics as an Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino, or any other native in their respective country. The strands from these countries are simply more dense.
MANY will say “raw” is hair cut straight from a head and packaged as is. The problem I have with that is many of these countries also steam process their hair textures like the Chinese 🥱 Steaming does not take away from its virgin properties. You will never find a Myanmar Burma native with “curly” hair, yet people call it “raw Burmese.”
It’s very common now to find a Chinese selling “remy” and “virgin” hair as “virgin” and “raw” hair (respectively). This is simply a way to upcharge us for the exact hair we have BEEN buying for years, and also they don’t want to get “lost in the sauce”… They are heavily influenced by social media and see the masses saying “ditch virgin”, so they must be able to sell a product deemed as no longer “IT” by calling it raw. This is also a big part of why we are fighting for our lives with hair prices 😂💔
WHEN SOURCED CORRECTLY, neither is more superior than the other. With that being said, choosing between virgin and raw really boils down to maintenance tolerance and personal preference of hair density and coarseness.
