This should answer your question
There are four main types of hair used in wig making: Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and European.
Most human hair wigs are made with Chinese or Indian hair.
European hair is the strongest but is not so easily available and is more expensive.
From humans. :]
i agree…
with humans!
human hair!
Hence………. Humans! Mostly Humans from China………..
things like locks of love…its actual human hair
It comes from human cadavers.
Some, like for Locks of Love, come from hair that people donate to make wigs for Cancer patients who lost their hair due to Chemotherapy . Like if a woman has waist length hair and then decides she wants a chin-length bob and wants to donate the rest, her beautician will put a ponytail in her hair at the length she wants to keep and then cut right above it and donate the ponytail to the charity.
are you kidding me FROM humans!!
A lot of it comes from Thailand. They get it from live people in places where people don’t put any chemicals on their hair.
Not dead people. When people get their hair cut they can donate it to make wigs. Only if it’s nice untreated hair though.
haha yeh. people with really long hair that get it cut can donate it or even sell it to wig and extensions makers, providing its in good condition!
Most donated hair comes from China or Middle Eastern countries. Because most women there let their hair grow long and do not color or perm it, it is healthy enough to donate. Before the hair can be made into a wig, it has to go through many chemicals. Because a lot of people in North America and Europe color their hair, it wouldn’t stand up to the process. Hair from China or Middle East is thicker in diameter, it can be chemically processed and still be useable.
From pigs.
Well, I know that Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that relies on volunteers to cut their hair and give it away. And there are other places that do the same.
The Hair is usually from India. Indian women often sell there hair in order to cleanse there spirits. And to gain Money. It doesn’t come from dead people, Al thought the hair it self is dead.
