How to suss out human hair checklist

• 100% human hair should not melt when heat styled at reasonable temperatures (average 250 degrees Celsius)

• Sheen should be uniformed across the hair strands of 100% human hair.  If certain strands are a lot shinier than the others, this is a tell-tale sign that the hair contains synthetic fibres

• 100% human hair will always have a subtle, burnt smell as result of being straightened

• If the hair is a lot cheaper than the market average it is highly unlikely to be 100% human hair

• 100% human hair will always have a velvety soft texture

• 100% Virgin Remy Brazilian hair should be able to be dyed

• Genuine 100% Virgin Brazilian hair should become wavy when wet and should only be available in colours 1b, 2, 4 or 5
