It would have been even weirder (and it's weird enough as it is) if it said "Brazilian Virgin hair on sale". LOL

I suppose they mean it's hair that hasn't been used before, rather than hair from Brazilian virgins, but then that raises the question of their being a marked for recycled wigs and extensions, which seems almost as odd.

I assume virgin hair has never been chemically treated (bleached, permed, dyed, chemically straightened) but it was more the brazilian bit that made me do a double-take as I walked past it. Well no, it was the whole combo.
