The Inspiration
The Classic Collection was birthed out of my experience as an athlete buying poor quality hair extensions. It is safe to say that I have had my fair share of bad hair. As a student and athlete I maintained a busy schedule that included attending classes, basketball practice, working out, weight training, and traveling. Additionally, I had to maintain my appearance and keep up with my hair. With weight training at 7 AM, I had little time to brush my hair and maintain hairstyles. Inferior hair products included heavy shedding, dry, damaged and very tangly hair extensions. Trust me, it is not a good look when you are playing on ESPN in a basketball game. Not to mention, the struggles with styling my hair to go out after a win. Sometimes, it was too much trouble, so I would just stay in my dorm room because I didn’t feel confident with my hair extensions. After graduating I found myself with more time and resources, to find a solution to the madness.
Invest in Your Hair
Your hair extensions are an investment. It is more cost effective to spend the money on Raw Hair Extensions and get multiple installs, than to buy new bundles after each install due to poor quality hair. With proper care our hair extensions will last you up to 60+ installs with proper care.
Meet Our Founder
Jalynn Holmes was a division 1 student athlete for six years. She received her bachelor’s degree from Norfolk State in 2021 and in 2023 she received a Masters degree in Media and Communication from Temple University.
While Jalynn played basketball, her go-to hairstyles were mostly wigs, sew-ins, and “slick-back ponytails” with hair extensions to protect her natural hair. Overtime, Jalynn spent thousands of dollars during her college career, on hair extensions that turned out to be dry, stiff, and tangly.
The year 2019 (Jalynn's redshirt year), began her journey to find the best and most reliable hair extensions. Through extensive research into various hair types and textures, she discovered the most natural and pure hair extensions available on the market, Raw Hair Extensions.
Raw Hair is defined as unprocessed 100% human hair that has not undergone ANY chemical, heat, or steam processing. The hair is sourced directly from the donors, and then undergoes a rigorous sanitizing procedure. All of our Raw hair cuticles remain intact and aligned which helps maintain the softness and smoothness of our hair.
After conducting Raw Hair tests on hair from a variety of hair vendors and installing the hair, the perfect vendors were finally found. Jalynn is incredibly confident in the hair extensions available at The Classic Collection. She is continuing to research and perfect her craft to expand the brand. We can’t wait to show you what we have been preparing, just for you!
