What's Ponytail Hair & Machine-Aligned Hair?

We have 2 types of hair, we call them Ponytail Hair & Machine-Aligned Hair#1.

    • Our Ponytail Hair is the best hair in the hair market.
    • If you feel the Ponytail Hair is too expensive, our Machine-Aligned Hair is the best alternative.

#1 Why we name our hair "Ponytail Hair" & "Machine-Aligned Hair"?

 

Ponytail Hair

As the name suggests, the hair material of our "Ponytail Hair" is females' ponytails.

The ponytails are collected directly from donors and cut while the hair is banded. This collection method ensures that all the cuticles#2 of the hair strands 100% NATURALLY flow the same direction, from root to tip.

Ponytail Hair is the best hair material in the market—but it's relatively rare. And as the hair business continues to grow, its price keeps increasing.

#2 What Is Cuticle?

The outermost layer of a hair strand is called the cuticle. Cuticles are made of overlapping dead cells that form scale-like layers, helping to protect and strengthen the hair shaft.

When the cuticles remain intact, the hair looks smooth, shiny, and healthy. If the cuticles are face the same direction, the hair will be tangle-free. But if they run in opposite directions, the hair will easily tangle and matte.

In short, the two key factors that determine hair quality are: whether the cuticles are intact and whether they're aligned in one direction.

 

Machine-Aligned Hair

In the human hair industry, most of the hair material is the hair strands that originally randomly run in mixed directions—from root to tip and tip to root. After all, the ponytail hair that collected directly from females' heads is rare.

Hair strands that are still in good condition—even if originally mixed—can be re-aligned by professional machines so that the roots are on one side and the tips on the other#3. That's what we call Machine-Aligned Hair.

Hair strands in poor condtion (e.g., overly dirty or tangled) are typically made into Silicon-Coated Hair#4.

#3 As mentioned above, two key factors that determine hair quality are whether the cuticles are intact and aligned in one direction.

#4 What Is Silicon-Coated Hair?

In hair industry, Silicon-Coated Hair is considered the cheapest and lowest-quality hair.

It's made from hair that is too dirty and tangled to use as-is, so it must go through an acid bath to strip away the cuticles and detangled the strands. After the cuticles are stripped, the hair is coated with silicone to give it a temporarily silky and shiny appearance.

However, the silicone doesn't last. After a few washes, it wears off, leaving the hair brittle, dry, and prone to extreme tangling. Since the cuticles are gone, the hair can't handle heat styling or coloring.

We don’t sell Silicon-Coated Hair.

 

What's The Difference?

Our Ponytail Hair is hands-down the best in the market because it remains in its most natural form.

But if Ponytail Hair feels too costly, Machine-Aligned Hair is your best alternative:

    • It offers a smooth, shiny, and healthy look—just like Ponytails Hair—because its cuticles remain.
    • 96-98% of its strands are aligned so the roots are on one side and the tips on the other.
    • After being machine-aligned by professionals, our Machine-Aligned Hair closely resembles the structure of real ponytails.

#5 What Is Steam Process?

Steam Process uses hot water vapor (not chemical) to create a consistent curl pattern in the hair.

#6 What Is Cuticle-Close Process?

Cuticle-Close Process is a special treatment for Machine-Aligned Hair. It uses a softener to relax the cuticles, followed by an oil-infused steam treatment to permanently lay the cuticles flat on the surface. This process significantly reduces tangling caused by misaligned strands.

And Cuticle-Close Process does NOT strip or damage cuticles. All the hair strands remain protected by their natural cuticles afterward.

 

Can I distinguish them by looking or touching?

No, you can’t.

Most people can't even tell the difference between Ponytail Hair and Silicon-Coated Hair—let alone between Ponytail Hair and Machine-Aligned Hair—just by looking or touching.

But don't worry—we label all our hair clearly so you can tell the difference.

And rest assured—we NEVER mislabel our Machine-Aligned Hair as Ponytail Hair like some dishonest hair sellers do.

Since we started our hair business in 2010, reliability has always been our core principle.
