As for what kind of hair it is and whether it is consistent with the logo, you can refer to the characteristics of various types of sweaters introduced earlier. If there is a problem that cannot be confirmed, it can only be sent to a professional inspection agency for identification. Special attention should be paid to several situations where inferior goods are often passed off as good ones.
