Why Are Most Human Hair Wigs Made Of Asian Hair?

At first glance the answer seems obvious - it's cheap. And then that is true. But in reality Eastern European hair is not very expensive - the amount needed to make a beautiful wig is about 30-50 USD in Poland or the Czech Republic. That is not a treasure if you are going to spend a few hundred dollars on a wig. So what's the catch? The problem is on the supply side. There are more than two billion people in Asia and only 200 million in Eastern Europe. Most people in Eastern Europe do not need to sell their hair for economic reasons. Moreover, I do not have to stress how rare it is in rich Western European countries to sell human hair. That is why European hair is so rare and explains why local wig makers buy only the amount needed to produce it themselves. Outside of Eastern Europe, due to its unavailability, the price of the best European hair (called “pure green hair”) is rising. So 99% of human hair wigs are made from Asian hair. These hairs are marked with trade names such as "human hair" or "remy hair". If the manufacturer or retailer does not specifically say that the hair is only European, you can be 100% sure that you are dealing with Asian hair. Asian hair is naturally darker (darker), more straight and thicker than European hair. Under the complex process of pigmentation, hair loses its natural shine and strength. Before it finally reaches you it will be dyed several times using synthetic chemical products, which no one can use to dye their hair. Such hair has a tendency to show a darker or reddish tinge. This is why it should be dyed several times and go through the lubrication process. Thus any color can be obtained, but the structure of the hair is damaged during the process. It is no longer pleasant to be touched and within 20 weeks it will peel off. Another issue concerns the way hair is obtained. It was not planned from the beginning with the idea of ​​creating wigs. Hair is cut in random haircuts. Part of the hair also appears in traditional haircuts as a sign of puberty. Such hair in the heat of the ceremony falls down and is collected there and placed in a large pile. In the process the hairs are twisted and intertwined with each of their strands and are not placed in the same direction. While it may not seem like it at first, this does change the value of your wig. All hair strands have a strong cuticle, which attaches to the cuticle of the neighboring hair when laid opposite. The hair is actually twisted and tangled up in a hair follicle that is difficult to comb through. The only way to solve this problem is to completely remove the natural cuticle, and replace it with silicon. It is a cruel and destructive process - such a wig will retain its light within 4 to 12 weeks. After that the hair becomes dull and unattractive. The most beautiful Asian hair comes from India and Pakistan. In fact, it is no better than the hair described above. The advantage is that these hairs are not slightly strong and may have a natural tendency from small waves. For that reason, many manufacturers claim that they have the same characteristics as European hair, which is not true. If there were more people in Eastern Europe, the lives of wig makers and their customers would be easier, heh?
