When you buy hair add-ons, know if it's real or fake. Here are ways to check:
- Burn Check: Burn a small piece. Real hair for sale burns slowly and smells like burning hair or nails. It ends up as ash. Fake hair melts and smells like plastic.
- Feel And Look: Real hair feels soft and looks natural. It is not too shiny. Fake hair can be very shiny and may feel like plastic or too smooth.
- Shed And Tangle Check: Run your fingers through the hair or comb it. Real hair sheds just a little and does not tangle as much. Fake hair tangles and mats easily.
- Heat Check: Use a flat iron or curler on a small part. Real hair can take the heat, and you can style it. Fake hair may melt or get harmed.
- Water Check: Real hair soaks water fast and takes time to dry. Fake hair repels water and dries quickly.
- Real Hair: Real virgin hair has cuticles in the same direction, which stops tangles. Rub strands up and down—if it is rough going up, likely real.
Buy from good sellers and check if they guarantee real hair.
