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.​
