Current QA tests and test packages available to hairpiece suppliers and manufacturers

For most hairpiece suppliers, we recommend one or all of the following tests:

  • The Hair Cuticle Test - This gives a good overview of hairpiece hair condition and comes with a traceable HairKnowHow Quality Certificate

HairKnowHow assesses in detail the health of the cuticle of your natural hairpiece products. We also provide a traceable certificate showing this critical metric. The health of the cuticle is essential in determining the health of the hair fibres and, ultimately, the longevity of the natural hairpieces you provide to your client.

Many optional extras are available with this entry level QA test.


  • The Complete Hairpiece Quality Analysis - HairKnowHow’s most comprehensive hairpiece analysis. Included is a trackable analysis certificate detailing all of the tests used to make the final quality assessment.

This comprehensive battery of tests is typically used for assessing the quality of the most premium hairpieces where demonstrating the grade of the product to the client may be required. Additionally, some hairpiece suppliers use this service to investigate the failure of a product, in case of warranty claims, etc. 


 
 

Both colour and lustre are important beauty and health markers essential in colour-matching the correct hairpiece to your client.

Many optional extras are available with this entry level QA test.

With any test ordered, we will rate the quality of the hair with HairKnowHow’s reference hair; however, if you would like the hairpiece test data to be compared to one of your control materials, please let us know in advance.

Suggested methods for collecting hair samples include:

  • Removing the hair sample by cutting from a particular section of the hairpiece

  • Collecting hair using a cleaned brush or comb

The quantity of hair required for most tests is typically 20 fibres. However, this can differ depending on the test or tests being performed. Please refer to the individual tests for details or contact us for more information.

Please note: No specific sample preparation is required.
