Why is Indian hair so popular?

Indian hair is known globally for many of its defining qualities but what is so special about it that sets it apart from the competition is its health?

According to multiple reports conducted by US firms, it is said to be the healthiest hair globally in terms of thickness, shine, smoothness, and strength making it one of the most desired forms of hair in the current global trend.

This health seems to be attributed to the healthy diets that are consumed by Indians with a balance of all the required nutrients, such as cereals, millets, vegetable oils, ghee, nuts and oilseeds, and sugars making the hair incredibly strong and durable when compared to other regions.

Asian hair more broadly is known to be one of the fastest-growing hair, growing at a rate of 6.3 inches per year on average, greater than the global upper end of the average of 6 inches per year.

However, this number may differ based on many different factors such as gender, age, and genetics among others.

Why is Indian hair used in wigs and other hair products?

Coming back to India more specifically, some other features that make the hair so special include the fact that they are said to be tangle resistant by many hair stylists and consumers and are extremely easy to style.

This makes the hair easy to use in salons and for personal use and brands such as India Hair International supply this virgin Indian hair to consumers globally.

The genetic makeup of the Indian population also allows for the hair to be provided in darker colors, thus allowing it to better blend in with more natural hair colors.

This also gives them a naturally great bounce and light feeling when worn, across a wide range of hair products.

This virgin hair can be dyed, unlike synthetic hair, and provides a much softer, and more natural look.

It can be used to create high-quality extensions, wigs, or any other hair product based on your needs!

What is the best place to source Indian hair?

Taking a look at the Indian hair industry holistically points out many intricacies which need to be appreciated.

Once understood, we can begin to comprehend what is so special about it which separates it from the competition.

Ethical sourcing is at the root of all hair being provided in India.

Ethical sourcing is usually done either through voluntary selling of hair or the donation of hair, which creates a huge chunk of the total hair collected, in temples and other pious places as an offering to the Hindu Gods by the females of the family.

This hair is then sold to different Indian vendors who make the hair that you receive when you buy a product from Indian providers.

All the hair providers, such as India Hair International, among other brands maintain great transparency in the sanitization and manufacturing processes involved in getting the hair to the final consumer.

This provides consumers with great sources of Virgin Indian hair, which has never been chemically processed at a relatively inexpensive price point, thus allowing consumers of different types to purchase wigs, hair extensions, hair bundles, and more based on their needs.

We hope that now you were able to understand what is special about Indian hair.
