How do we test the hair quality?
Nowadays,When you’re looking for a new hair supplier, you’ll find a lot of marketing names to describe hair ,like remy hair ,raw hair ,vrigin human hair and state they offer the best quality of hair. But this is not entirely true, how to test the quality of your hair is the most important thing to you, which determines the success of your hair business. Now I put together a guide, hope it helps you.
1. Shedding Test
As we all know, it is normal for hair to fall out, just like our own hair, but if it falls out a lot, it means that the quality of the hair is not good.When you get the hair, you can run your finger through the hair to test for shedding, if you feel very smooth and silky, and almost no hair fall, the quality of the hair is good.Conversely, if you feel sluggish and a little rough when you run your fingers through the hair, or even have a lot of hair fall out, the quality of the hair is not good. Of course , you can use wide-toothed comb to brush hair instead of your fingers,They are all the same.
2. Burn Test
Now there are some factories that say their hair is 100% human hair and the price is very low. In fact, it may not be. It may be mixed with some chemical fiber hair.So after you get the hair you can also test if the hair is 100% human hair or synthetic hair.Take a small stroke of hair and cut it, burn it with fire, observe the smell and state of the hair when it is burning.Human hair is made up of protein, so it smells like burnt feathers when it burns, and it curls when the fire gets close. Synthetic hair will have an unpleasant smell when burning.Then the hair will leave a black ash after burning and also turn to powder when crushed.But the synthetic hair will turn into a hard mass after burning.
3. Bleach Test
The bleach test can help you test the quality of your hair, if it is synthetic it is difficult to bleach it because it has been bleached before.You can buy a bottle of bleach, cut a small stroke of your hair and apply the bleach, then wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it for about half an hour to see the color of your hair over a period of time.If the hair starts turning orange or yellowish , it is virgin hair. If no, it means it is not virgin hair.
4. Tangle Test
It is normal for hair to tangle , just like our own hair, but if the tangle are very serious after washing, it is likely to be synthetic hair.This is because synthetic hair is soaked in acid to remove dirt and cuticles. Hence, it has no cuticle, thus becoming overly tangled.
5. Cuticle Test
Real virgin hair has the cuticles aligned in the same direction from root to end tips and also is called Remy hair. While hair with cuticles in a mixed direction is called non-Remy hair.
Run your fingers through the hair and you should feel resistance up rather than down. If you don’t feel any resistance, it means the hair is synthetic hair. If you feel resistance in both directions, the hair may still have cuticles, but they are not aligned properly.
Of course, there is no perfect hair in the world, just like our own hair, no matter how good the quality is, it will not look perfect, If the hair is totally straight and even without any styling,it may also be synthetic hair.
