India is the world's biggest exporter of human hair, supplying 85% of global demand.

Wigs are no longer just for drag or movie artists, but many straight women wear wigs to look different.

India has a huge wig-making industry which is worth five to six billion dollars .

Raj Hair International is one of the biggest traders in the Temple hair business.

Craftsmen at the company's Chennai factory sort and grade the hair according to colour, texture and length.

The firm tries to waste as little of the hair as possible and has developed a machine to untangle the hair.
