You couldn't really see the difference on pictures. You might be able to see silicon, as it's overly shiny, but then again, if getting some strong lighting, and might spray it a little bit simply for the picture, could have a similar effect.

Things like fullness are hard to see, as it's easily manipulated. Some have the basic round weft, and others have the flat weft, latter going to look fuller, even when the same bundles.

Things which might appear are the red strands, as they are more prevalent in processed hair.

But then again, really high quality unprocessed hair will glow up in bright light, giving it a little bit of an impure look.

I wouldn't really go for pictures, as they're really easy to manipulate.

Basically product pictures are taken as raw format, the background is leveled to white, making all short hairs disappear, and probably further edited.

You might be able to see follicles in the ends of the hair for some processed hair, which would be a giveaway, as high-end hair shouldn't have this.

And the price list would be a clear giveaway as well. Our wholesale price for high-end hair is about $115 for 30", and these are with slightly upgraded fullness.

We're someone with a fairly low profit margin and while you might be able to find $110, if you get into $100 for that length, it's most likely no longer high-end, or has shortcuts (i.e. 80g bundles, selling hair which has 3 strands reach to that length)

But once you get experience, had your hands on hair from a lot of different places, you can feel the hair, and the cuticles you can feel easily, or even the thickness of the hair, or even the smell would give away what happened to the hair.

But these are things which are hard to explain to someone else, as it's a skill gained with experience.

Even in the past, we've posted so many pictures of black line and orange line.

You can imagine that I can't remember all which quality they were, especially when there's no color line visible, so sometimes we just send one which matches the closest to the client request, as sometimes I can't even tell the difference.
