At one time, their wigs were made of human hair but collectors have cornered the market by visiting the villages and buying them up.
It’s the same situation with most of the “silver” that you see. Silver ornaments make up an important part of Miao dress because it is believed to be the symbol of light which dispels evil spirits.
