Several Methods on How to Identify Wigs

100% human hair wig products on the market are usually rare and expensive, so many illegal traders use high-temperature fiber to pretend to be human hair wigs. To let everyone better identify real hair, we list a few simple identification methods.

How to identify human hair wigs:
The method of burning can only be simply identified, whether the hair is mixed with chemical fibers. And some black-hearted merchants have real hair mixed with animal hair such as ponytails, or some mixed with hair that has fallen on the ground recovered from barber shops, which cannot be identified by burning. In order to let customers better understand the characteristics of hair quality and buy high-end remy hair wigs, we have summarized the following identification methods:

Explanation of the name:
The principle of remy hair is that the hair we trim must be undyed, unpermed hair, and it is called remy hair after removing the scales of the hair. A lot of people will want to keep the scales of the hair, wouldn’t it be better? Because in the process of wig crocheting, to fix the hair root on the hair net, the lock of the hair is usually knotted at the root of the hair net when the head is folded.

Porosity Test
It can test whether the top layer of the hair, the cuticle of the hair, is damaged.
1.What is porosity? The porosity of hair refers to the ability of the hair cuticle to allow the absorption and penetration of moisture and hair products. Everyone has a different hair porosity, and when the hair is permeable, the porosity is enhanced. If there is uneven color under the sunlight, mixed with a lot of flowers with impure colors, it can be judged that it is landing hair.

2.What is the difference between permeable hair and impermeable hair? The cuticle scales of impermeable hair lie flat against the hair shaft, and when exposed to light, reflect light evenly, making the hair look lustrous. This type of hair is less susceptible to damage when combed. Permeable hair is uneven because the cuticle scales are open. The light penetrates and cannot reflect the light, and the hair looks lackluster.

3.Test method: Lift a few small clumps of hair, pull the ends tight, and run your fingers down the hair shaft to the roots. If there is a rough feel, it is permeable. It should be noted that different parts of the hair have different porosity. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct porosity tests for different parts of the hair.

Elasticity Test
1.What is the elasticity of hair? It refers to the ability of hair to be elongated and straightened and then restored to its original length. Healthy hair generally grows to one-third of its original length. When wet, the elasticity of the hair increases. If the cuticle is damaged, the hair is permeable, thereby reducing the elasticity of the hair.
2.Test method: Start by picking up a piece of hair, hold the ends of the hair tightly with your index finger and thumb, then stretch it gently and forcefully. See how much the hair can be stretched and whether there is a change in length when the hair returns to its original length. Often damaged, inelastic hair cannot withstand pulling and is prone to breakage.

Costing Exclusion Method
Through the rising cost of real hair, plus management costs, operating costs, and inventory costs, the industry currently uses remy hair to make half-hand-woven wigs and hand-woven wigs. When you have carefully calculated the price of the product and the production process of transportation, you can probably know the price of the product.
