Different hair types
From the hair natural, the hair can be divided into Coarse Hair and Fine-Soft hair.
Coarse Hair
The characteristics of coarse hair are insufficient elasticity and dryness. If you have a lot of hair, especially if the hair on the sides is a little longer, it will be fluffy, messy, and difficult to manage. The advantage is that it is more durable than other hair types. Even after bleaching and made into hair extensions, the hair lifespan can be longer than other type hair. They are suitable for premium quality hair extensions. The Chinese hair, Vietnamese hair,Mongolian hair are of this type.

Fine-soft Hair
Fine-soft hair is characterized by its tendency to lie flat and be too close to the scalp. Hair that's always plastered to the scalp makes a person look tired and lacking energy. The biggest problem is that fine, soft hair can give the illusion of thinning or sparse hair. Fine-soft hair is very fragile and prone to split ends. Split ends indicate damaged hair that will break naturally, and hair care products cannot restore it. Therefore, split ends cannot be grown long and must be cut off. Fine-soft hair are mostly be used to hair toppers and hair wigs. The Indian hair, Brazilian hair, and Russian hair are of this type.

How to Judge the different raw hair qualities.
To judge the quality of hair, you mainly need to look at these aspects: shine, softness, and smoothness.
The Shine Of the Hair

The Softness
Softness, also known as hair elasticity, refers to the hair's ability to stretch and contract. Hair itself has a certain degree of elasticity, but the quality of elasticity varies. Hair with good elasticity can maintain its waves longer after perming, and it is less prone to loosening. Hair with poor elasticity appears loose, spongy, and easily tangles. Normal hair can generally stretch to 20% of its original length and springs back after being released. Wet hair can stretch to 40-50% of its length.
The Smoothness
Comb your hair from top to bottom, or vigorously rub the ends of your hair to check for split ends and breakage. If the comb consistently gets stuck in the same spot, that's where the hair is most fragile and dry. Split ends and breakage are the beginning of hair fragility and must be addressed promptly.
