Demand for Human Hair Modern New York Trade
An extensive look at the New York hair trade reveals skyrocketing prices for the finest human hair and a widening market for substitutes. Dealers say quality varies from first to third grades, with natural color the rule and bleaching a common practice. Hair comes from Germany, Sweden, Italy, and Russia, with combings and peasant stock driving supply. Chinese hair, though cheaper, requires bleaching and is mainly used for wigs and negrobased products. Yak hair and counterfeit blends fill parts of the market as demand for false hair soars.
