The Hair Market: Sourcing Wigs

Phase 3.

1. Human vs. Synthetic

• Remy Human Hair: Cuticles aligned. Expensive. Lasts 1 year.
• High Temp Fiber: Synthetic. Cheap. Tangles. Lasts 1 month.

2. Production Hubs

• Xuchang (Henan): The largest hair center.
• Qingdao: Higher end Jewish wigs and toupees.

3. Testing

• Burn Test: Burn a strand. Human hair turns to ash and smells like burnt feather. Synthetic melts into a plastic ball.

Summary

This is a high-value, high-theft item. Start with small sample orders to verify consistency.
