The truth about different grades of human hair

You must have seen the hair grade, such as 10A, 11A, 12A, 13A, labeled by many hair vendors to determine the quality of human hair. But don't you know what exactly these hair grades mean? In this article, we are going to tell you something many people don't know about the hair grade and how to tell the quality of human hair.

What are hair grades?

The concept of human hair grades is proposed by hair vendors to judge the quality of hair. The hair grade system has been developed for over ten years. In 2010, hair vendors point out that the 3A was the top-grade human hair. Then in 2012, the 4A hair grade was considered the new top grade. And In 2013, the 5A hair grade was created and became the new best. As you may guess, the hair grade system was continued updated by hair vendors year by year. And till now in 2021, the top grade of human hair is now 13A. 

But does it means that 13A hair is better than the 10A hair or 12A hair? Actually, no. Cause there still is no organization nor one can label or judge the standard of 13A or 12A or other hair grades. This means that the hair vendors are available to call their hair any grade as they like. Actually, the hair grade system is used on one hair vendor's interior to level their hair quality, so that their clients can easily know which hair is the top grade in his/her hair store. So you couldn't say that the 10A grade you buy from the A vendor is better than the 8A grade from the B vendor. The 10A grade standard of different hair vendors is not the same.
As for Elfin Hair, now the 13A grade human hair weave is the best grade human hair weave, it is 100% virgin hair that are unprocessed human hair collected from one donor with thick ends and intact cuticles facing the same direction. 13A grade human hair weave styles can be restyled to curly human hair weave, blonde human hair weave and other hairstyles as you like. 13A grade human hair bundles can be long lasting, but the cost is also not cheap.

So the number of hair grades such as 3A, 4A, 5A,6A, 7A, 8A, 9A, and 10A is not a reliable standard to level the hair quality. We should judge human hair quality via its appearance, its density, its texture, and other features but not only according to the hair grade labeled by the hair vendor. And then the question comes to the next part, how to tell the quality of human hair?

How to judge the quality of human hair?

100% Human hair: human hair wigs and human hair extensions is the top grade in the hair market. Except that you are searching for wigs for cosplay or show, human hair wigs are always a better option for daily wear than synthetic hair. Elfin hair offers different types of wigs and hair extensions that are crafted from 100% human hair. This also ensures that the hair texture is healthy, shiny, and long-lasting.

Remy or non-Remy hair: the Remy hair is 100% human hair that is collected from one donor with intact cuticles facing the same direction. This feature ensures that the Remy hair doesn't get tangling or get shedding as easily as non-Remy hair. without any questions, the Remy hair is better than non-Remy hair.

Single stitch wefts or double drawn wefts: There is no doubt that double drawn weft is a better option than the single stitch weft, cause double stitch weft should reduce shedding and be more durable than single weaving.

Full and healthy end: Check if the end of human hair bundles is full and thick with no splits. Generally, the higher grade the hair is, the thicker the bundle ends is.

Conclusion: The number of hair grades is not a reliable standard to judge the quality of human hair. But the hair grade system also benefits you while you are selecting wigs or hair extensions from one store. And there are so many points need to pay attention to while you are selecting a wig, for example, hair texture, density, weight, touch, and so on.
