How to spot a fake wig
When it comes to selecting human hair extensions, you need to be particularly careful. They generally cost more than synthetics so you need to get value for your money when purchasing one.
If you’re having trouble separating the real from the fake, we have some great tips that should help you differentiate the two:
Always do some research
One of the most reliable ways to avoid getting duped is doing your own investigation. Before spending on any supplier, you should look into customer reviews and supplier reputation. The internet has paved a way for you to see what customers are saying so that you can gauge if it’s genuine or not. At the same time, you should be wary of fake reviews from people who have been paid to give positive testimonies.
If you can, consult people that you already know because they’ll be more genuine and reliable. Take your time because this will save you the headaches of receiving fake extensions.
Observe the hair
Before you buy hair from a supplier, observe it carefully. Look at the fibres or strands and spot some irregularities if there are some. Human hair that has been mixed with synthetic will have unusually thick strands inside and other irregularities. Genuine human hair will be more fine and smooth in texture while synthetics tend to be rough with thick strands. Synthetic hair also has an unnatural shine to it. Original human hair will also have a shine to it, but it is more toned down and natural looking.
