1. How can the quality of hair extensions be assessed?

Typically, the origin of a hair type determines its quality: Is it synthetic or real hair? As you may already be aware, both synthetic and human hair are frequently utilized to create extensions and wigs. We can also create human hair blends, remy hair, and non-remy hair from these two varieties. These distinct hair kinds have various origins and make-ups, which affects their quality and cost.

The greatest grade hair is that which has never been treated and has been acquired from a single donor with the cuticle intact. The higher the mix and number of treatments, the worse the quality. The lowest grade hair is synthetic hair, which is created from synthetic components and treated, coloured, and bleached. As a result, the following categories may be used to order each hair type’s quality:

 

Types	Origin	Processed	Quality
Synthetic hair	Artificial materials	Yes	Low
Human hair blend	Mixture of artificial hair and human hair	Yes	Low
Non-remy hair	Mixed donors human hair	Yes	Low
Remy hair	2 – 3 donors human hair	No	Good
Virgin hair	One single donor human hair	No	Best

 

You must ascertain the sort of hair that was utilized to produce your hair extension in order to know if it is of low or excellent quality. Although difficult and tough, it is fortunately feasible. You may check to determine if the merchant is speaking the truth in a few different ways.

2. How can I tell whether something is synthetic, human hair mix, or real hair?

Let’s start with human and synthetic hair!

From a visual standpoint, synthetic hair is flat-toned. Sometimes silicone is used to give it an excessively glossy finish that may be wiped off quickly and leave behind an unnaturally drab tint. Contrarily, human hair is smooth and lustrous even after being wet.

Touch: Artificial hair feels frizzy and dry. Simply brushing it or running your fingers through hair is challenging. Human hair is silky from root to tip and has matched cuticles. The hair may be easily combed or run through with your fingertips.

By heat: Chemical or odor-causing treatments of all types have been used on synthetic hair. You may observe a strong flame with charred hair clumping up and a plastic scent if you cut some synthetic hair strands and put them on fire. Chemical odors are absent from human hair. It burns to ashes that are readily handled by human hands.

Synthetic and human hair are combined to create human hair blend. Since synthetic hair and human hair can sometimes not be blended well, especially after usage for a while, you can really recognize a human hair mix extension simply just by looking at it.

3. How can I tell if my hair has been treated or not?

There are techniques to determine if your hair extension is processed or not if you are aware that it is composed of human hair. Mixed donor human hair that has been gathered from many sources, such as salon floors or a customary religious ritual, is known as processed hair, also known as non-remy hair. It frequently is of low quality and requires heating or chemical processing. Remy hair and virgin hair are examples of unprocessed hair.

• On the surface: Human hair that has not been treated seems flawless: It naturally sparkles from root to top and is challenging to tangle in the wind. You may also soak the hair in water to see if it hasn’t been treated; if it stays silky and smooth even after becoming wet, it means the cuticles have done their job of keeping all the strands consistent and preventing tangling. Processed hair cannot achieve the same results. It will immediately become frizzy and knotted.
• Examining cuticles the condition of the cuticles is the primary distinction between treated and unprocessed hair. Cuticles will have consistent texture after being processed with either heat or chemicals. Scrape the hair cuticles off with a blade or pair of scissors. White scales can be seen in unprocessed hair, however brown or black hue can be seen in hair that has undergone chemical or dye processing.
• Where can I find trustworthy, actual human hair?

In a nutshell, unprocessed human hair is used to create hair extensions of high quality. Never use low-quality hair if you want a hair extension that lasts, looks silky, and feels smooth.
