The Silk Burn Test
How can you tell fake silk?
Real silk will burn, slowly, but will cease burning once the flame is removed (it also smells like burning hair, because they’re made from similar proteins).
Fake silk on the other hand will melt, and smell like burning plastic – and will continue to burn even after you’ve removed the flame.
