In addition to the hair extension, making wigs requires more than 50 procedures.
They process each layer of hair into wigs, and then transport them by water, land and other parts of the world. For Xuchang people, they are grateful for the craftsmanship passed down by their ancestors to make their lives worry-free. However, behind the seemingly glamorous hair, in fact, it is also difficult to grow, because Xu Chang does not have raw materials in the process of making a wig.
The decline of family workshops, longing for big cities
The rise of hair-making made almost every family in Xuchang engaged in fake accidents. In the villages below Xuchang, every house was piled with hair in front of it, and some even piled up on the road. Businessmen who often bought hair also made the village special lively. As a result, there is a family workshop-style hair processing business model of “production in the courtyard and trading on the street”. Yang Dalong hurries home from work every day after leaving the wig factory. There is still a mountain of hair in his yard that needs to be treated. Many people are doing two jobs like him.
In these home-style workshops, high-quality hair determines the value of wigs (that is, raw materials). The more people Xuchang engages in, the more villagers will be forced to buy hair in various parts of the country. For those who have collected hair, they have their own roots and keep their whereabouts secret.
