Generally mass production, the price is low, but the authenticity is not ideal, it is heavy, and the air permeability is poor, which easily causes the hair follicles to be blocked and easy to knot.

Fourth, the identification of wig quality.

1. Vision: Although it is difficult to tell whether a wig is good or bad with eyes. However, we can make a preliminary visual judgment. The first feeling of a good wig is real and natural. The fine workmanship and high-quality hair material are the first elements to distinguish the pros and cons of a wig. Secondly, the attractiveness of the style is also very important to personal preference.

2. Hand feeling: Inferior wigs feel dry, heavy and old-fashioned. The hair of the wig has a uniform proportion, is light and plump, and feels smooth, which is a very natural feeling. Real human hair feels softer to the touch, while fiber wigs feel smoother.

3. Workmanship: It is normal for wigs to lose hair, and inferior wigs are particularly prone to fall off and difficult to take care of. The needles on the scalp are thick and the hairline is crowded, making it easy to fall off the scalp. The inner mesh cap is rough by hand, not easy to dissipate heat.

4. Safety: Look at the manufacturer. In order to maximize profits, the wigs produced by small wig manufacturing factories are often mixed with inferior hair or made of inferior hair, but inferior hair is not flame-retardant and has chemical toxins.

5 Burning: Real human hair does not smell of plastic when it is burned, while fiber wigs taste like plastic when it is burned.

6 Use: Whether the wig is good or bad, you will know after using it. Real human hair is definitely better than chemical fiber and high temperature silk. Human hair will not burn quickly. It does not require special maintenance. It can be more than one year. Chemical fiber and high temperature silk are not good. Chemical fiber can tell at a glance. As for high temperature silk, high temperature silk is very light and takes less than half a year. It will be scorched, and you need a professional hair stylist to use a straight machine to straighten it; real human hair wigs can be dyed by iron, while fiber hair wigs cannot be dyed and cannot be curled;

If they are all real human hair wigs, then distinguish it from the bottom of the net. Generally speaking, the realistic angle of the artificial scalp is better than the single-layer sand net.

Fifth, the matters needing attention when using the wig:

1. Wear the wig correctly: After buying the wig, you must first follow the instructions in the wig to wear it correctly. When you first use the wig, you may be unfamiliar with it. Try a few more times so that you will feel more comfortable wearing it. In addition, you should take the wig off when you sleep, and you can’t wear it to sleep.

2. Prevent rain: Although there are many wigs made of real human hair, there are still some wigs, which are not made of real human hair. When wearing wigs, be sure to prevent them from being rained, because rain is corrosive to these wigs Yes, if it is raining, it is best to use an umbrella if you want to wear a wig.

3. Reasonable use of cleaning agents: When cleaning the wig, you must not wash the wig with shampoo, otherwise it will cause great damage to the wig. It is best to use those special wig cleaners to clean the wig. These special cleanings If the agent cleans the hair, it will not damage the hair.
