False hair products, commonly referred to as hair extensions, wigs, and hairpieces, are synthetic or natural hair accessories used to enhance the volume, length, or style of one’s natural hair. Increasing fashion consciousness and the growing preference for personal grooming and aesthetic appearance, particularly among the female demographic. Additionally, the rising prevalence of hair loss conditions due to genetics, stress, or medical treatments has significantly contributed to the expansion of the false hair market. However, quality concerns, such as the potential for damage to natural hair due to poor application techniques, the use of substandard adhesives and materials, and scalp irritations or allergic reactions, pose significant challenges. To address these issues, manufacturers and suppliers are increasingly focusing on the development of hypoallergenic, lightweight products that minimize damage to the scalp and natural hair. The integration of digital tools for virtual try-ons and customization offers the potential for enhancing customer experience and personalization. Moreover, the expanding influence of social media and online marketing channels provides ample opportunities for market players to engage with and expand their audience.

Extensions are artificial or natural hair integrations added to one’s natural hair to add length, volume, or color.

The need for extensions arises from customers desiring longer, fuller hair without waiting for natural growth, covering thinning hair, or experimenting with colors and styles without altering their natural hair. Wigs are head coverings made from human hair, animal hair, or synthetic fiber. Customers may choose wigs for various reasons, including hair loss due to medical conditions, desire for a new style or color without altering natural hair, and convenience. The subcategories of wigs are based on their construction, including lace front, monofilament, and full lace wigs.
