According to an article published by Kayla Greaves in October 2020, black women in the country use wigs to cover their naturally curly hair, which, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for wigs and hair extensions in the country.

Consumers opt for convenient, versatile products due to their busy lifestyles, and, thus, black women prefer to use wigs to look presentable in a short time instead of trying to style their naturally curly hair, which needs more time. Furthermore, people also prefer wigs and extensions for various other reasons, such as to protect their natural hair from exposure to heat & dirt, to look fashionable, or to flaunt a desired look.
