In the production process of wigs, the main raw materials usually used include two types, one is human hair, the other is synthetic fiber,the prices of these two raw materials are very different. Do you know how to tell them apart? We have compiled some differences about them and some ways to distinguish them.
The difference between these two materials is mainly caused by the characteristics of human hair. Human hair grows on the body, so human hair contains a lot of protein and also has a certain amount of water. During the process of hair growth , the hair surface will produce hair scales according to the growth direction of the hair, and the root of the hair will be thicker than the tail,if we pinch the root of the hair with our fingers and slide towards the tail of the hair, there is almost no resistance, because we are sliding along the direction of the hair scales, but if we slide from the tail of the hair to the root of the hair, you will find that the resistance is very large, because it is sliding against the growth direction of the hair scales at this time.
Synthetic fibers are dyed by industrial methods. Its color is different from that of naturally growing human hair. Because of the dyeing, the color will look darker and more shiny. At the same time, the surface of the fiber is free of scales. And it’s not as soft as human hair, so synthetic wigs don’t look very natural.
According to these characteristics, there are several very easy ways to distinguish them.
By stroking the wig to distinguish, the human hair wig will be softer, the synthetic wig will feel harder, and the synthetic wig will be drier.
It also can be distinguished by the glossiness of the wig. The synthetic wig will be more shiny than the human hair wig, because there are no hair scales on the fiber. When the light shines on the synthetic wig, the reflection of the fiber will be very strong, but the human hair is covered by the surface with hairy scales, the reflection will not be very strong and it looks more natural.
Of course, you need to have enough experience to easily use the above two methods to distinguish. If you can’t easily use the above methods, then we will tell you two easier methods.
Use the burning method to distinguish, you can cut a little hair from the wig and burn it with fire. Because human hair is rich in protein, it will have the smell of protein burnt when burning, and the powder after burning human hair can be easily crushed by fingers,But the material of synthetic wig is fiber, so it will have a pungent smell when burned. At the same time, we all know that plastic fiber will melt into a small piece after burning, which is difficult to crush with fingers.
Distinguished by pulling the wig. Because human hair contains moisture, it is more elastic and not easy to be pulled to broken. But the synthetic wig is very dry,and the material is fiber, so it is easy to be pulled off. At the same time, when we comb the wig with a plastic comb , synthetic wigs will generate static electricity,the fiber is easy to knot, but human hair can be easily combed from root to tail.
