European Hair Wigs are the truest thing to a gold standard in the wig and hairpiece industry. The vast majority of women who use wigs in the world today are white women, and it is natural that they should prefer hair most similar to their own. Today's European Hair Wigs are generally 100% human hair wigs and are the very best in quality and realism for that all-important all-natural look. Ironically, some wigs labeled as "European" actually contain hair from Asia. The biggest hair exporters in the world are China, India, and Korea, which helps to explain why wigs made of materials sourced from that part of the world is considerably less expensive than others.
European Hair Wigs are usually shorn of women from the eastern part of the continent. They do not require any of the treatment that Asian hair is sometimes subjected to for color and texture, and so are referred to as "virgin" hair on occasion. It is said that such processing can render the hair a bit coarser and even go on to affect its durability, which is ironic because the popular perception of Asian hair in the West is as something very delicate and silky smooth. But as just mentioned, there are wigs advertised as being of European hair when in fact they have been partially sourced in Asia. Generally speaking, the two are similar enough such that only the strictest of purists would care, or even notice. And because a wig does not become saturated with natural oils from the scalp, they will require less washing and care, providing reduced opportunities for wear and tear.
All the same, those made of European hair are much more expensive because they are in such high demand. Another part of the reason is that there are much fewer women willing to shave off all their hair in Europe, whereas in many parts of Asia a bald-headed woman could be considered a pious Buddhist nun. Europe also tends to be richer than Asia on average, and monetary exchange rates have long favored Asian currencies.
So, in conclusion, wigs made of hair sourced in Europe are preferred for a handful of reasons, mainly having to do with quality, since Asian hair goes through a pigmentation removal process that often causes them to lose their natural shine and resilience. Couple that with simple economic supply and demand, and it's a wonder European Hair Wigs aren't even more expensive!
