Most commercially-used human hair comes from which region?

• A. India and Asia
• B. Europe
• C. Africa
• D. North America

Answer: (A)

Global supply of commercially-used human hair is driven by donor volume and established trade networks, with the majority coming from India and other parts of Asia. Indian hair is abundant because of cultural practices that generate large quantities of long, healthy strands and a long-standing export industry that preserves hair integrity for wigs and extensions. This combination creates a steady, high-quality supply that far exceeds what Europe, Africa, or North America contribute. That’s why most commercially-used human hair comes from India and Asia.
