How the hair is collected – There are several ways human hair is collected for wig making. Some manufacturers collect it from temples or other places where people willingly donate it. Others buy the hair from people looking to sell their hair. The worst quality wigs are made from hair that’s been collected from combs, shower drains, and barbershop floors.
