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!!!

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. readmore here, http://instinct-mind.blogspot.com |

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.
