2. Scouring: The sheared skin with hair is thoroughly washed in tanks to remove greases, dust and dirt. This is called scouring.

3. Sorting: After the procedure of scouring, the next step is sorting. In this procedure, washed hairs are sent to various factories. In the factories, separation of different texture of hairs takes place.
