PART 1
It's not a hidden fact that fake, low quality mixed hairs are being sold out there by so many dishonest hair vendors. Infact, there are more vendors out there selling fake hair than those selling authentic hair! .
How do you know if your human hair bundles are fake? Sometimes it can be very obvious by just looking at the hair closely and feeling the texture, but then some low quality hairs can look and feel real too(after it's silicon coated to make it look like a good human hair) .
.
If you’ve ever been a victim to buying poor quality hair, or would like to learn more about identifying good quality human hair, and how to test for it, then this guide was written for you!
.
These are the tests to be carried out to ascertain if a weave is actually 100% human hair or just another low grade mixed hair-

1. Washing test- Basically, anything outside of water and steam processing is considered chemical processing of hair.
.
To tell if your hair bundle has been chemically processed, do this quick test – wet the hair bundle, apply a dime sized amount of neutralizing shampoo and massage into the hair. If the shampoo foam coming out from the bundle turns pink, chemicals have been applied to the hair.
.
Please note that this test is not 100% fool-proof in the case where the vendor took the time to thoroughly wash out the chemicals from the hair bundle. However, this is still a good test because many vendors do not take the time to thoroughly wash out the bundles they chemically process or receive processed.
.
Good Human hair is not supposed to tangle or change texture when it is washed. So if it gets tangled or spongey during your wash and when it's dry, know that is synthetic hair or mixed low quality hair.
.
In a bid to increase the volume of hairs produced and to sell cheaply , some manufacturers mix human hair with synthetic fiber or animal hair.So next time you see a 20" hair being sold for N15000,stop and think again.. .
.
A very low quality hair cannot survive past one two washes before it changes texture and turns into one big mass of matted sponge. .
(To be continued in next post....)

2. THE BURN TEST
This is probably the most well-known method of testing whether human hair is 100 percent real hair.
.
When you burn human hair, the flame burns briefly, leaving a dark ash that turns to powder when it is crushed. The odor smells of burning flesh or burning feathers.Synthetic hair, on the other hand, rapidly melts and becomes sticky when it is burned. It then forms an ash of black beads.
.
This test can be carried out at the point of purchase.Often a simple burn test will reveal the type of fiber in your human hair extension. It is fast and easy and you will know within minutes if you have human hair extensions or a mislabeled blend.

HOW TO CARRY OUT THIS TEST-
1. Remove single strands of hair from different areas of the hair.
2. Hold the strands with use a lighter to keep a steady flame. Do not use matches as it can will mask the odor and confuse you.
3. Just take out a lighter and do a burn test on the hair. To do this, set a few strands of the hair tips on fire.

A good Grade or raw human hair turns to ashes after burning. Synthetic hair turns to sticky texture which hardens when cold.

If the hair burns with a white smoke and turns to ash, this indicates it is pure human hair and no synthetic or mixed fibers have been added to the bundle. If the hair melts and balls up, and smells like burning plastic, then they are definitely processed synthetic fibre.

Also if it burns with a black smoke and turns into a sticky texture which later hardens when cool, this indicates synthetic fibers have been added to the hair bundle and it's not 100% human hair .Synthetic or mixed hair will also produce black smoke when its burned.

NOTE-Pay attention close attention to the odor, how the hair reacts after burning and color of smoke /flame.Fake synthetic hair is extremely flammable and will produce a big flame when it comes into contact with a lighter

Real Virgin hair is not highly flammable, when it touches a flame it usually produces smoke but not a huge flame as synthetic hair does. (TO BE CONTINUED...)

3.DYE TEST - Dye a sample of the hair. If it is human hair it will change colour uniformly. If it develops streaks, highlights or lowlights, it has probably been mixed with low-grade human hair or even synthetic hair (usually high grade fibre).
.
5.WET TEST- If the hair is not virgin hair, it would feel heavy when it becomes wet.Virgin or raw 100% Human hair becomes wavy or curly when you wet a few strands.A bone straight hair ought to curl slightly when it's wet, especially the tips.
6.COLOR/TEXTURE TEST- Another easy that test can be carried out to find out whether the hair claimed to be Virgin Remy/Raw hair is actually that or not, is by observing the color and texture of the hair strands. A virgin Or raw Hair will always have the donor’s hair color.Also, a Virgin or donor raw hair is never overly soft or silky. There is always a slightly coarse feel to the hair. So,it's misguided to think that once a hair is very soft, it must be a good hair!
.
The color may range from natural black to browns. Another aspect is that the color of the entire bunch of hair is not likely to be uniform. This is because natural highlights (both darker and lighter) of the primary color can be present. Moreover, you may even find grey hair strands in the bundle.
.
To carry out this test, take the hair bundle and look at the colors of the hair strands closely, in a well lit area.
