Hi Jack, welcome to salon geek
I think we have similar views on hair .... I have had over thirty years experience dealing with hair as a student in college we did wig making and postiche work
so we were taught early on the importance of the hairs direction
on long hair brushings or fallen hair .... we were also taught how to feel for the old hair bulbs so we could sometimes make wefts from it too lol
our Master Wigmaker Tutor used to tell us once the hair is muddled it's useless .....and to throw throw it in the bin
As young students we always used to ask but why Sir ?????? ......
until one week our Tutor actually asked us to make a weft from some turned upside down hair .....
and the other weft we kept the hair right way round ,
He made us take both wefts home to shampoo and bring them back for the next lesson lol
As a young student this small but much needed lesson really opened all our eyes.... it was the best lesson I ever learned ,
Most natural virgin hair in all textures is good hair ..... until someone or something turns some of it or all of it it upside down within the bundle then its just simply rubbish that will tatt ,
it really is as simple as that,
and cheap hair is usually waste muddled up fallen on the floor hair ,
fit for the bin
but its treated as you say ..... and then
coated with chemicals to smooth down the cuticle to disguise it
