No... there are none. The only ones that come even close to mimicking the hair texture is Indian Remy.

I’m positive that there are some out there. ?
It’s hard to manage and it’s hard for them to grow there hair out. That’s why a lot of them have weave
Because the hair is fragile and prone to breakage so it’s probably very difficult to find real hair long enough to use for a wig. The hair also has to go through a process before it’s made into hair extensions. It also has to be colored and dyed. All this can put a lot of strain on hair and make it break. Keep in mind too hair that is cut no longer has natural oils coming from the scalp.
Most hair extensions are made from the hair of Indian or Asian people. They tend to have the strongest hair that withstands the chemical processes and dying needed to make wigs etc.
Some of this hair is obtained by cruel and exploitative methods (Like cutting off the hair of women and children by force, often very poor workers living in awful conditions) so always do your research and find out WHERE and HOW companies get human hair.
Oh yeah, and there ARE hair extensions that are made to have the texture of African hair. You’ll see lots of black women who wear it…sometimes the weave is so convincing you really have to look close to see that it’s fake hair. You can buy hair of all different colors and textures to match any type of hair!
