Texture: Virgin hair will not have a completely perfect texture, such as a silky or straight one. It will actually have a slightly coarse surface. If the feel is a bit too smooth compared to your hair, it might have been exposed to chemicals or treatments that gave it that polish. If you run your fingers through the hair, you might even be able to feel the coating that some of these treatments leave.

Burn test: Simply cut a strand of hair and put it on a burning flame. If it melts slowly into a ball instead of burning, smells like rubber and produces black smoke, it is not human hair. Human hair will immediately catch fire, burn nearly instantly curling into a little ball, and smell like burning hair. Human hair burns, synthetic melts.

Check the Color: Real virgin hair boasts a natural color because it has not been dyed by the seller. Though hair comes in different colors and styles, predominant features usually come from sources in different locations. Take a close look at the uniformity of the color; most hair has natural highlights, which combine lighter and darker elements. If you find that the color is too consistent and monochrome, then chances are that the hair is not real. On the other hand, if you find a few strands that have a lighter shade compared to the rest, then you probably have the real deal.

Price: The cost of the hair can also be a huge giveaway. If it is unrealistically cheap, even if they call it a special offer, be wary. If it is real, the seller will try and get the best price for it. This, however, does not mean that you go for overpriced hair. Shop around and get the average cost.

Bleaching: When you bleach human hair, it lightens very fast depending on the grade. If it is fake, it will most likely burn.

Reviews: Besides, before you buy hair weaving, you should go to your most trusted sources to find out all the information you need to decide on whether you should purchase or not. You can also go directly to YouTube for hair reviews and to see if the hair bundles were legit human hair if it shed or not and if it would, in fact, look the way you imagined it.

Wet test: An important test of the authenticity of hair is how it responds when wet. Non-virgin hair often gets heavy when wet. Virgin hair will regain its natural curl or wave pattern when wet. And upon drying it will often be lighter or less weighty than it was when dry. This is often due to the fact that dirt and product buildup was removed when it was wet. It is important to keep in mind that just because hair gets wavy or curly when wet, that does not mean that it is virgin Remy hair. There are a number of lines that offer wet and wavy hair that is neither Brazilian or not.

Virgin Remy hair extensions can be a great investment. Its natural luster, shine and texture blend perfectly with most natural hair types. They also offer a versatility and quality that is unparalleled in any other form of hair. With maintenance, it can last month after month without matting or tangling. However, if you are going to spend your money making this purchase it is important to ensure that you are getting authentic virgin Brazilian Remy hair.
