On the African continent, wigs have become a cultural phenomenon that is both common and diverse.

In Africa, wig culture has become a thriving industry, and its prevalence is beyond imagination. In addition to being sold in professional barber shops, wig products are also widely displayed in street stalls, trolleys and mobile vendors' stalls, forming a complex market ecology.
Features of African women's hair
African women's hair is often known for being frizzy, frizzy, and brittle. Due to the nature of natural hair, prolonged combing and treatment can lead to hair breakage and damage, so protecting hair health has become an important demand for many African women. In addition, many African women have relatively short hair lengths, making it difficult to achieve some complex hairstyles, so they need to rely on wigs to achieve the desired styling results. Many African women come to the barbershop for the first time at the age of 2-3 and their parents buy them their first wigs.

In African society, the use of wigs has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a norm in daily life. Whether in urban or rural areas, it is possible to see many women wearing wigs of various styles to enrich and vary their hairstyles. Especially on special occasions, such as weddings, parties and celebrations, wigs are regarded as an important decoration to add style and dignity.

The origin of the wig and the ** chain
The wig market in Africa is mainly dependent on two routes: import and domestic production.
