For natural hair it's a good idea to closely inspect the hair shaft. If there is an unnatural sheen to it, it usually means that the hair has been treated with a silicon treatment because it has been so badly processed. This hair will still look nice for a few months but once this barrier wears off it will become tangled and matted. Ideally, for anyone who prefers to reuse their hair multiple times its best to use hair that has been minimally processed such as remi or, arguably better, bohyme.
