Unprocessed hair and smells?

So I was talking to a vendor and I took the advice of someone on here and asked them if they make wigs with unprocessed hair (not virgin), they said they have it but most customers don't like the smell of the hair. They said even after washing there is a smell to the hair...is this true or do I need  to run the other way, b/c I've yet to hear of this ...

A lot of vendors will say they have virgin hair but that it's a light yaki or whatever texture,  so I asked them if they have unprocessed hair and not if they have "virgin, remy hair".

but it came with a smell?

well checking through some other threads a lot of people found wagmans weft virgin hair apparently has a smell, some posters said it's normal and should go away with an ACV wash...but I will still wait to hear others opinions cuz this is new to me... thanks yall!

I know Id better not receive no stinkin azz indian, chinese, mongilian, malaysian remy hair. I have never heard this nor have I ever received ANY hair with an odor and I have been through a whole hell of a alot of hair in my lifetime.

I have never ever ever EVER received a wig from a CV that didn't have some kind of odor to it.  Think about it.......do you sit quietly at your desk all day long, not talking, sneezing, coughing or whatever?????  These wigs take hours upon hours to make and I know they are not made in silence or without a cough or sneeze or some kind of spit flying through the air onto my wig .  WASH BEFORE YOU WEAR WITH A GOOD SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER....You won't have to worry about any odor or anything else on your head.

ITA with Secret

bweave that's the thread I had found and was reading they said it's true raw hair with that smell, if it doesn't "have a smell" they said more than likely it's not from a direct seller because it's already been washed so, I GUESS I might go ahead and place an order with them...but I still have some questions for the vendor  Thanks as always guys!

lmao. IDK. But I always deep condition my hair

IA with you AM.  I was just reading an article from 2006 about the Indian hair trade.  Some of the hair is from sick children and adults, it is not a pretty site.  I alway wash and condition my units before I wear them.

Originally posted by AshleysMom I.   I wondered if any of this hair came from an Aids infected person.  I saw a documentary where they have plenty of HIV and also some sort of yearly festival where the men dress up like women and have sex with other men!!!  Girls, I nearly flipped my wig!

Most likely, they obviously don't test the people before they donate .. I doubt this is going to stop anyone from buying any sort of hair though (well maybe one or two ) ... Cause its not like you can catch Aids from the hair ..

I dunno if I should even keep talking to this vendor or not, a lot of mixed reviews. I mean I guess it's a way to know for sure it's virgin hair you're getting...but lice?  I'm on the fence here it DOES sound unsanitary I dunno if I should take the chance of getting a unit with bugs...a lot of people described the smell of a wet dog...I dunno though...
