To judge virgin human hair bundles with cuticle aligned, you can try the following methods:
- Visual Inspection
- Color Consistency: Virgin human hair has natural colors like black or light brown, with a relatively uniform color from root to tip. If there are obvious color differences or patches, it may not be virgin hair with aligned cuticles.
- Luster: Hair with aligned cuticles is smooth and shiny as the cuticles can reflect light evenly. Dull or rough hair may have misaligned cuticles or be non-virgin hair.
- Tactile Sensation
- Smoothness: Run your fingers from the root to the tip and then from the tip to the root. If the cuticles are aligned, it should feel smoother from the root to the tip and encounter more resistance in the opposite direction. If it feels rough or tangled in both directions, the cuticles may not be aligned.
- Softness and Elasticity: Virgin hair with aligned cuticles is soft, elastic, and not easily breakable, similar to natural hair. If the hair is stiff, brittle, or has no elasticity, it may not be of good quality.
- Smell Test: Virgin human hair has a natural, faint odor or no obvious smell. If the hair has a strong chemical, plastic, or other strange odors, it is likely not virgin hair or has been chemically treated, indicating that the cuticles may be damaged or misaligned.
- Wash Test: Wash the hair with warm water and shampoo. Virgin hair with aligned cuticles is less likely to tangle after washing and can maintain its original texture and shape. If it becomes a tangled mess, it may not be virgin hair with aligned cuticles.
- Burn Test: Burn a few strands of hair. Real human hair burns quickly, smells like burnt hair, and leaves powdery ashes. If it burns slowly, smells like burnt plastic, or leaves hard lumps of ash, it is not human hair, let alone virgin hair with aligned cuticles.
