When it comes to investing in hair extensions or wigs, nothing beats the quality and versatility of authentic raw human hair. However, with so many products on the market claiming to be “100% human hair,” it’s easy to get overwhelmed and confused. At Lizo Luxe Hair, we understand how important it is to get what you pay for—a premium product that not only enhances your look but lasts aswell. So, how do you spot the real deal? Here’s a straightforward guide to help you make the best decision.
1. The Touch Test: It Should Feel Natural
Raw human hair has a soft, natural texture that mimics real hair because it is real hair. Run your fingers through the hair. Does it feel silky, smooth, and free of plastic-like stiffness? Authentic human hair should feel like it could have grown from your scalp.
Pro Tip: If the hair feels unnaturally smooth, like doll hair, it might be coated with silicone, which is common in synthetic or processed hair.
2. The Smell Test: No Burnt Plastic Odor
Yes, you can smell the hair! Genuine raw human hair smells like clean hair, even after processing. On the other hand, synthetic hair often has a faint plastic or chemical odor.
Pro Tip: If you’re unsure, burn a strand of the hair (just a tiny piece). Real human hair burns slowly, turns to ash, and smells like burnt protein (similar to burning feathers). Synthetic hair melts and smells like burning plastic.
3. The Shine Test: It’s Not Overly Glossy
While it’s natural for human hair to have a healthy shine, overly glossy hair might be a red flag. Synthetic hair or heavily processed hair is often coated with chemicals to make it look shiny.
Pro Tip: Raw human hair has a natural luster, but it won’t look too perfect. It mimics real hair, with slight variations in texture and shine.
4. The Tangle Test: Good Hair Doesn’t Snag
Raw human hair has cuticles aligned in the same direction, which prevents tangling. If the hair tangles easily or feels rough after brushing, it’s likely synthetic or of low quality.
Pro Tip: Comb through the hair with your fingers or a brush before buying. Authentic human hair will remain smooth and manageable.
5. The Price Check: Too Good to Be True? It Probably Is
Let’s be real—quality hair isn’t cheap. If a deal seems too good to be true, it might be. Raw human hair is an investment, but it’s worth every penny because of its durability and natural look.
Pro Tip: Always compare prices but prioritize quality. Cheap hair often means synthetic blends or over-processed hair that won’t last.
6. The Water Test: It Reacts Like Real Hair
Dampen the hair with water. Authentic human hair will wave or curl slightly, depending on the texture, and it absorbs moisture. Synthetic hair, on the other hand, resists water or stays stiff.
Pro Tip: If possible, test a small section of the hair to see how it behaves when wet.
7. Trust the Source: Buy from Reputable Brands
One of the easiest ways to ensure you’re buying authentic raw human hair is to purchase from a trusted source like Lizo Luxe Hair. We pride ourselves on offering premium-quality raw human hair that’s ethically sourced and guaranteed to last.
