Cut Hair and Single-Donor Hair Made from Real Human Hair: What It Is, What It’s Good For, and How to Get It
In short: Cut hair is loose real human hair in bundles with no attachment, meaning no keratin, tape or stitching, tied off in the direction of growth. Single-donor hair is cut hair where each bundle comes from one single person. Our curly cut hair has natural curls: the hair grew that way and was not shaped afterwards. Only raw hair and finished extensions are chemically shaped in the textures strongly wavy, permed and curly, not cut hair. At EchtHaar Direkt, cut hair is available only on request via WhatsApp; real human hair for processing yourself is always available in the shop as raw hair and bulk hair, from 161,16 € for 100 g in 40 cm, in any length from 40 to 130 cm, straight to curly, in over 70 colors or in a custom color matched to a photo.
What is cut hair?
Cut hair is real human hair just as it was cut: in a bundle, all strands in the direction of growth, with no processing at all. This means the cuticle layers lie uniformly from root to tip, the hair doesn’t tangle, and it shines naturally. With single-donor hair, a bundle comes from one person; length, texture and color are therefore especially uniform, and that is exactly what makes it valuable for wig makers and custom-made pieces. You can find out how to recognize good hair in our guide to real hair quality.
Cut hair, raw hair, bulk hair: the difference
| Term | What it is | At our shop |
|---|---|---|
| Cut hair / single-donor hair | Hair in the original bundle, just as cut, one person per bundle | on request only, subject to availability |
| Raw hair | Real human hair with no attachment for your own further processing, sorted and laid in the direction of growth | in the shop, 40 to 130 cm, made to measure |
| Bulk hair | the same as raw hair, the term used in international trade | in the shop, same category |
| Finished extensions | Raw hair that has been processed into Bondings, Tape Extensions, wefts or Clip-ins | in the shop, all methods |
What is cut hair suitable for?
Hairdressers, hair extension professionals and wig makers process cut hair themselves: into their own Bondings, handmade wefts, wigs or custom pieces. If you wish, we can take care of the further processing, for example as Keratin Bondings or as real hair Wefts. For customers who want to wear finished extensions, the direct route via the configurator is simpler: Ordering extensions: step by step.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between cut hair and raw hair?
Cut hair is the original bundle, just as it was cut, and with single-donor hair, from one person. Raw hair is sorted real human hair with no attachment for your own further processing, which we supply made to measure in length, quantity, texture and color. Both are 100% real human hair without keratin, tape or stitching. You can order raw hair made to measure here: Buy raw hair.
How much does cut hair cost?
Cut hair is available on request only, and the price depends on length, quantity and availability. As a guide: raw hair in the shop starts at 161,16 € for 100 g in 40 cm.
Can I process cut hair into extensions myself?
Yes, that’s what it’s for: your own Bondings, handmade wefts, wigs. If you’d rather not do it yourself, you can have us make the hair into Bondings or wefts, or simply order finished extensions in the configurator.
What does bulk hair mean?
Bulk hair is the English term for loose real human hair with no attachment, and for us it is the same as raw hair. More English terms explained in German can be found at Hair extensions in German.
Are the curls in the cut hair natural?
Yes, our curly cut hair has natural curls. The hair grew that way and was not shaped afterwards. The textures strongly wavy, permed and curly are chemically shaped only for raw hair and finished extensions, not for cut hair.
Where can I buy curly cut hair?

You can order real human hair right away online as raw hair and bulk hair, in any length from 40 to 130 cm and straight to curly. With raw hair, strongly wavy, permed and curly are chemically shaped, while straight and slightly wavy are not. Curly cut hair is naturally curly, not chemically.
Is there cut hair for wigs and hairpieces?
Yes. Wig makers process cut hair into wigs, hairpieces and custom pieces, especially single-donor hair, because length, texture and color are uniform there.
