5 Ways to Identify Non-Human Hair Before Installation

5 Ways to Identify Non-Human Hair Before Installation

Installing non-human hair on a client can damage your reputation instantly.

Here are five ways to identify fake or synthetic hair before installation:

  1. Burn Test
    Human hair burns slowly and smells like protein. Synthetic hair melts and smells like plastic.
  2. Water Test
    Human hair absorbs water and sinks. Synthetic hair floats.
  3. Cuticle Check
    Human hair has visible cuticles. Synthetic hair appears overly smooth and shiny.
  4. Texture Test
    Human hair feels natural. Synthetic hair often feels stiff or overly silky.
  5. Heat Test
    Human hair responds to heat tools. Synthetic hair melts or distorts.

Knowing these tests protects both your client and your brand.
