How to distinguish the human hair and synthetic hair?


here are several ways to distinguish between human hair and synthetic hair. Here are some common methods:

1. Visual inspection: Human hair usually has natural variations in color, texture, and luster, while synthetic hair tends to look more uniform. Human hair may have slight imperfections or strands of different lengths, while synthetic hair is often perfectly straight and uniform.


2. Burn test: Take a small sample of the hair and light it with a match or lighter. Human hair will smell like burnt hair and turn to ashes when burned, while synthetic hair may melt or produce a plastic-like smell.



3. Touch and feel: Human hair is usually soft, smooth, and has a natural feel. Synthetic hair may feel stiff, rough, or have a synthetic texture.


4. Moisture test: Human hair can absorb moisture, while synthetic hair usually does not. You can dampen your fingers and touch the hair. If the hair absorbs moisture, it is likely human hair.




5. Price: Human hair is generally more expensive than synthetic hair because of its quality and sourcing.


6. Source and labeling: If you know the source of the hair or it is labeled, it can help determine whether it is human or synthetic. For example, human hair may be labeled as "remy hair" or indicate its origin.
