How To Evaluate Your Hair Extensions Quality - Sharis Hair Boutique

1. How To Evaluate Your Hair Extensions Quality

2. Since it is made entirely of human hair, hair can pass every test with flying colors. Yes, hair extensions are attractive and can help you feel more attractive, but understanding a little bit about how they get made will help you recognize when to be understanding of a brand and when to recognize that they have been flagrantly dishonest. • Test of Length in Percents Checking the percentage of hair strands with the same length is a way to gauge the quality of your hair extensions. Simply hold it together at the roots and with one hand at the bottom to test this. To lose loose hair strands, start to shake and twist your hair. If you discover that many of your hair extensions are falling out, it means less of the hair is the same length, which will affect the thickness of the hair from the roots to the tip.

3. Test of Temperature As strange as it may sound, the feel of your hair extension bundles in your hands is a giveaway as to their quality. Grab a small piece of hair and feel it to see if it feels cool to the touch; this will indicate that your hair is of higher quality than lower-quality hair, which will feel warmer. Human hair retains moisture when it is dry, which causes it to wick heat away from your fingers and make the hair feel cool. Be sure to touch your hair extensions and feel the temperature because the general rule is that the cooler the hair, the higher the quality.

4. Test on Fire However, this is a significant and extreme way to test the quality of your hair by burning it with fire. We're not saying you should go and chop off your hair extensions. Ask for a small section of hair to perform the burn test if you're having your hair extensions cut for blending purposes. Simply cut small hair extension bundles and set the ends on fire to perform the trick. If the hair is synthetic, it will either ignite and char or melt at the ends, where the flame almost immediately extinguishes after being lit.

5. Test for Shedding While it is normal for hair extensions to shed similarly to natural hair, excessive shedding is a telltale sign of low-quality hair extensions. If the hair feels silky smooth to the touch, separates easily, and sheds little to no hair when you comb your hair extensions, they are of the best quality. However, if your fingers become tangled and you discover that your hands get covered in lost hair, this indicates that the hair is made of or contains low-quality hair. Less shedding implies higher-quality hair extensions, and more shedding suggests lower-quality hair when using a brush in place of your fingers.

6. These are only a few quick tests you can run on your hair extensions to verify their high caliber. There are numerous additional methods, including cuticle testing and others, that are easily accessible online. The simplest and most efficient way to assess the caliber of your hair extensions is to look at these factors.
