But why do certain cotton products do this? They all kind of look the same, right?
One of the main differences in quality and sub-par products is the cotton fiber length.
Since cotton is a naturally occurring fiber, it’s a given that there will be some variation of fiber length, but simply put: the longer the cotton fiber, the stronger the product.
In Intrinsics products, we are committed to using longer cotton fibers in our products. They also have a high micronaire value. Curious what that means? Check out the definitions below.
Micronaire: A measure of cotton fiber quality
-Low micronaire values = Thin, immature fibers
-High micronaire values = thick, mature fibers
So why do those other products leave residue behind?
They’re made out of a lower cost, shorter cotton fiber called “comber”, which is similar to cotton lint or dust. (Think the stuff you pull out of your dryer trap). These are very short fibers that cause fly-aways, lint, and produce a poor quality product. When you use an Intrinsics 100% cotton coil around the hairline, you don’t have to constantly replace the coil or worry about particles getting stuck in your client’s hair. Why?
