There is an interesting documentary narrated by Chris Rock where he shares that Koreans dominate the wig industry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Hair it's fascinating this is the origin story.
I had a black girlfriend once and she he told me to watch the movie Good Hair. It was eye opening and I recommend the movie for everyone to watch.
The documentary Good Hair (comedian Chris Rock stars) was excellent imho if you haven't seen it:

If you find the article interesting, I encourage you to check out Chris Rock's "Good Hair" film. As a white guy from the midwest I learned a lot:

One of my coworkers just pointed me to Chris Rock's documentary called "Good Hair" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m-4qxz08So
Wow.
A good starting point for this article is the movie "Good Hair" by Chris Rock. But rest assured, there is already a lot consolidation that already happened for Temple Hair in India. The raw material for this is, faith of Hindus (Hindu Women to be specific - since they have the long hair), that giving away hair as a form of surrender to God. Any guess, how long that will last?
edit: changed movie name [Bad Hair]
