With the advancement of technology, synthetic fiber technology has become increasingly sophisticated, making products such as wigs and hairpieces realistic and natural, and difficult to distinguish easily with the naked eye. In this article, we will share some tips to distinguish synthetic wigs from human hair wigs!
Appearance and texture
Human hair wigs usually has a natural luster and texture, showing natural thickness changes and curvature. Although synthetic wigs can imitate the appearance of human wigs, it will appear very uniform and smooth, lacking a natural feel. In addition, human hair wigs has a soft and slightly elastic feeling when touched, while synthetic wigs may feel stiffer.
Color and dyeing
The color distribution of human hair wigs tends to be more natural, with gradients and color differences. Even dyed hair will gradually change its color over time. The color of synthetic wigs is usually more uniform and long-lasting, and it is not easy to fade, but it may also appear too bright or unnatural.
Fire test
Take a small handful of human hair wigs or synthetic wigs, light it with fire, and observe its burning condition and smell. Human hair wigs emits a smell similar to burnt feathers when burning, and the flame will quickly go out, leaving a mass of black carbonized hair. Synthetic wigs may produce a pungent smell, such as plastic, and the flame lasts longer, and the residue left after burning may appear as hard lumps or drips.
Hopefully these tips can help you better distinguish wig materials and find the right wig for you!
