5 Signs You’re Wearing Low-Quality Hair (and How to Spot the Difference) ♡
Let’s call it what it is — by CandalBeauty
If your hair extensions are tangling, shedding, or losing their softness after just one install… this one’s for you. We hear it all the time from our clients:
“I thought I got a good deal… but after two weeks, the hair was giving BROOM.”
Here are 5 clear signs you’re wearing low-quality hair extensions—and how to never get played again.
🚫 1. It Tangled After the First Week
You should be able to run your fingers through your hair—especially right after install. If you’re already brushing knots out daily, it’s a red flag.
Real Raw Hair: Tangling is minimal when the cuticles are aligned and the hair hasn’t been chemically processed. Our high quality hair extensions stay soft, even after weeks of wear. You’ll notice the difference if you’ve ever struggled with dry or damaged synthetic hair.
🚫 2. It Has a Weird, Shiny Plastic Look
That super shiny, Barbie doll-looking hair? That’s silicone coating. Vendors use it to fake the look of soft, healthy bundles—but it fades fast.
Real Human Hair: Has a natural look and feel, not fake shine. It moves, blends, and photographs like natural hair because… it is. No coatings. No fillers. Just ethically sourced, unprocessed bundles.
🚫 3. It Doesn’t Hold a Curl
You curled it at 10 AM… and by 2 PM it’s limp and lifeless? That’s a problem.
Raw Hair: Holds curls for days—especially when you use the right heat styling techniques. Our bundles respond beautifully to styling tools, flexi rods, and pin curls—and stay frizz-free when protected with a heat protectant.
🚫 4. It Sheds Like Crazy
A little shedding is normal. But if you're leaving a trail of strands everywhere you go? That’s poor weft construction or processed hair breaking down.
Real Raw Hair: Comes from one donor, not mixed with synthetic hair. Our bundles are machine-wefted and reinforced for minimal shedding—even with multiple installs or heat styling.
🚫 5. It Feels Dry After One Wash
Good hair should bounce back after a shampoo—not get worse. If it’s stiff, tangled, or won’t hold moisture, it’s not high quality hair.
Virgin Raw Hair: Gets softer after washing. It’s meant to be shampooed, conditioned, and treated like your natural hair. We recommend using sulfate free shampoos and rich conditioners, then letting your bundles air dry in their natural state for best results.
💭 Questions To Ask Before You Buy Hair Again:
✔️ Can it be colored without breaking?
✔️ Does it come from a single donor?
✔️ Is it free of silicone, filler hair, and chemicals?
✔️ Will it last 3–5+ years with proper care?
✔️ Does the vendor educate you on maintenance?
If you can’t check all 5... don’t buy it, sis.
