Hair embroidery has its origins from China. As the name indicates, it refers to embroidery where human hair is used as a thread instead of other materials. Since Chinese people generally have black hair, embroidery is also called "Moxiu" (black embroidery).
Hair embroidery generally falls into two categories: monochrome hair-embroidery and colored hair-embroidery. Unlike monochrome hair embroidery, where the color is limited to black, in colored hair embroidery, others, such as blonde, amber, auburn, white and grey of various shades, collected from people of different races, are also used.
I believe that it needs much effort and special skills to complete a piece of hair embroidery. A quick search on the internet revealed sites that sell and buy human hair to be used in hair embroidery. However, I couldn't find how much it costs. So, have you ever tried hair embroidery?
