To most ladies, putting in hair extensions feels like a confidence booster, like a man putting on a smart suit.

Recent figures show that British women spend a staggering £65 million a year on hair extensions. that is about five times more on lengthening hair than we did four years ago.

All in the name of fashion, money is spent on hair extension or attachement as it is commonly called, but has any one ever considered where this air comes from? I will be back to gist you, watch out!!!

~I was blown away by the figures myself when i realised just how high market extensions have become!!


~Watched Jamelia's "Who's Hair It Is Anyway On BBC one" now,am very much aware of  where some of the the extensions come from!!


* Of the head of Poor pre-teen/teenagers in Villages in Russia^{& some other countries} . . . it is said Russian Women has the Finest Hair . . so the Younger the girl who hasnt experimented w/ her hair the better the Quality of the Extension!!


* In India its either the hair shaved off the women's head who are offering it to the Temple as they ask for favours & the temple in Turn sells the hair to provide food for the Hungry   


OR


* They are picked off dustbins ^{well it was shown been done in Indian} these hairs are off hair brushes & Combs & they become the processed cheap ones . . .

i didn't know that some of the hairs come from russia, i always thought that they came from korea and when i was younger, people used to joke and say that it (hair extension) were horse hair (don't know how true it is though).

hair is hair, as long as it looks good, who cares

the russian human hair is the most expensive one. i thought it was common knowledge about russian hair.

doesnt jamelia wear weves herself? i doubt the dustbin one is true

hair is hair, as long as it looks good, who cares

true, even the most expensive weave can look crappy if not worn properly.

~@ Naija_Diva neither did i . . . infact i'd never given it much thought to be honest!! LOL @ horse hair . . . another popular myth was it was dead people's hair   it was only when i watched that documentary that i realised!!

see, i don't like the thought of wearing dead people's hair.

Who says "hair is hair" Will anyone be surprise if the hair is gotten from a dead persons head Well, there is a live testimony by a fellow lady!

surprised?for what?ive heard about it ,so its no news

and i still wear them 

Check out this gist on http://instinct-mind..com its a live testimony by a fellow lady, a famous pop star, Jameila.

in what way is Russian hair the finest hair? I havent personally noticed their hair being any different from other white people's hair. Maybe its just cheaper and easier to get Russian hair, thats all.

The longest hair comes from the mediterranean, middle eastern and Asian sides. Some Spanish people too.

The longest caucasian (or blondish) hair is debatable. There doesnt seem to be any noticeable or measurable difference based on country, that I can think of. Some people have longer hair than others, among whites, thats all.



@ topic: some attachments and wigs are made of synthetic hair.

I watch the documentary as well it was really interesting . I was amaze at how the Doctor could get DNA of the hair to say were the hair came from etc. Hair is really big business and it was sad to see that in large, poverty make people sell their hair. The India temples were selling the hair to feed the poor that was good. Jamelia seem quite upset with some of it, instead of crying about it she should use her fame to help the people, am I being hard?

Well Ladies, it seem no one cares where ever the hair comes from, like naija_diva said "hair is hair". I think this is a part of fashion madness, Anyways, here is a bit of Jameila's report;

Standing inside a Hindu temple in Chennai, India, I watch horrified as a two-year-old girl with long, dark tresses has her head shaved.

She screams as the clippers buzz around her ears and her hair tumbles to the floor.

She is clearly terrified and no doubt has little comprehension of what is happening to her.

Beside her, her mother is having her head shaved, too.

This is a religious sacrifice: the shaving represents a last-ditch plea to a higher power to save their home from being repossessed.

But to me, it appears to be the ultimate in exploitation.

Their hair is casually tossed into a bin, but it will never actually be thrown away.

Though they do not know it, soon their pigtails and plaits will be sold to hair dealers and then shipped on to the salons of Western Europe.

As I watch the lady and her daughter shuffle out, hopeful that this huge sacrifice will make some tangible difference to their lives, I make a promise to myself that I will never wear hair extensions again.

Do they actually sell real human hair? so surprising !!!

Haba now.One might as well get a friend from one of those countries and tell her to sell you her cut hair every 2 months.Instead of thinking up ways to make your hair look longer with natural means,you are busy buying other peoples hair.
TOO BAD

funny how some churches used to talk about the very same information contained in this documentary but instead of presenting hard evidence to explain their fear, would divert to vague discussions about mammy water.
