In our industry, distinguishing between human hair and synthetic hair is a crucial skill.
Today, I want to share 2 tips to help you easily differentiate between these two materials.

Tips1：Burn Test: Observe the Flame, Smell the Scent
First, the most direct method is the burn test. Take a small strand of hair and light it with a lighter. Human hair will slowly shrink and leave a small amount of ash that turns to powder when crushed between your fingers. You'll notice a natural smell similar to burnt feathers or corn. In contrast, synthetic hair melts quickly in the flame, forming a sticky ball that's hard to crush, and emits a pungent odor like burning plastic.
Tips2：Bleaching Test: Color Change
Next is the bleaching test. Human hair, being a natural material, can be lightened in color. If you try to bleach the hair at home or in a salon, human hair will evenly absorb the bleach and gradually lighten. Synthetic hair, made from plastic fibers, will not change color and remains unaffected by the bleach.
Through these 2 tests, customers can quickly and easily differentiate between human hair and synthetic fibers.
