About Human hair exports

Human hair exports in chennai, Tamilnadu and india 

• Raw vs. processed hair: In February 2025, India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) prohibited the export of raw, unworked human hair with a Free on Board (FOB) value below $65 per kilogram to prevent smuggling. Exports of processed products like wigs and extensions continue.
• Remy vs. non-remy hair: Remy hair, often sourced from temples, is considered the highest quality because its cuticles are kept intact, which prevents tangling. Non-remy hair, collected from various other sources, has unsorted cuticles and is of lower quality.
• Product categories: The industry exports various items, including wigs, extensions, weaves, and braids
