Kunming Customs cracked a huge case of human hair smuggling worth 1.1 billion yuan. Hair is generally used to make wigs, but it also has other uses. 1. Making wigs
According to raw materials, wigs can be divided into chemical fiber wigs and human wigs. However, wigs made of chemical fiber have obvious shortcomings, which are as follows: they are not lifelike, they feel itchy after wearing them, and they are prone to allergic reactions with the scalp, etc. However, fortunately, they are cheap, so they still occupy a certain market share in the low-end market.
Using human hair to make wigs occupies a large number of high-end markets. Since the material of human hair wigs is originally real hair, compared with chemical fiber wigs, they have a stronger sense of reality and are less prone to static electricity and knotting. , and can be dyed and permed at the same time, making it convenient for the wearer to change hairstyles, so the price is four times that of chemical fiber wigs. ?2. Making pens
Human hair is relatively thin, but not too soft, and hair can absorb oil well, so it is very suitable for making writing tools such as brushes. Many of the brush tips we use contain human hair, but these human hairs have been specially treated before processing, making it difficult for people to detect.
Using human hair to make brushes also has a long history in our country. According to historians' research, people have had the custom of making "fetal brushes" since the Tang Dynasty. The poem "Fa Bi Sends a Poetry to Ren Gong" contains the poem "The inside is the fetal hair and the outer hair is thin, and the green clothes are newly cut and tied tightly", which shows that people at that time had begun to use fetal hair to make writing brushes. 3. Making stuffing materials for clothes
Because human hair is easier to shape in structure, it is often used by some clothing manufacturers to make stuffing or cloth materials for clothes. This kind of stuffing or cloth with human hair added Fabric raw materials have a particularly good shaping effect, and after special treatment, the texture of the clothes is relatively hard and can maintain the straight effect of the clothes for a long time. Therefore, some human hair is added to the raw materials of many types of clothes.
However, clothes made of human hair must be strictly disinfected before processing to avoid harm to consumers' health.
