How to quickly distinguish between human hair and wigs

Girls! Let me tell you that experienced people can usually distinguish between human hair wigs and artificial synthetic wigs at a glance by the luster, feel and naturalness of the wigs. But if it is an expensive synthetic wig vs. a cheap human hair wig (low-quality human hair, may mix animal hair), it may be difficult to judge by appearance and touch alone. Let me tell you one of my tricks. That is to burn the hair with a lighter. This is a simple and effective method, especially when it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake:

  1. Take a small handful of hair from the edge of the wig or an inconspicuous position to avoid affecting the overall appearance.

  2. Gently light the hair with a lighter and see its burning state.
    Human hair: burns slowly, and will form black powder after burning, and emit a smell similar to burnt feathers.

Artificial hair: burns quickly, forms lumps after burning, and emits a pungent smell similar to burning plastic.

The main component of human hair is keratin, the same as our own hair, so the smell and residue shown when burning can be distinguished from artificial fibers. Synthetic hair is usually made of chemical fibers, which melt and harden after burning. This is really a very simple method. I hope every girl can find a high quality wigs that really satisfied with.
