The question remains

Why kant Nigerians sell their hair to themselves

I can train my hair for 3 years and cut it if im getting $1000 for it

freecocoa are y'all  intrested

Thanks princess,but I'd rather be balder than the lady in the pix.

MsDarkSkin:

^ part of me believes its false advertisement, that some of the "remy" and "brazilian" weave
is actually just plain processed Mexican, American, etc   or mixed with synthetic.  

(Kanekalon BRAIDING hair for example )

Kanekalon                                                              "Indian Remy"

JAH bless you sweets,my thoughts exactly,I don't believe there's anything like 100% human hair in weaves,it either mixed or pure synthetic. Gotta sleep now, I'm practically sleep typing, catch ya lerra and stay fly.

Its art- not necessarily negative or positive per se.

they're paid for it @freecocoa

the hair grows back quickly and can be sold again i suppose.

Some places have hair texture that can be marketed like that- there was a thread last year showcasing long hair. A region in one of those "stans" for example, has excessively long hair.

The brazilian hair being marketed could be an ethnicity already known for long hair but who are based in brazil.

Until someone makes another documentary on where the brazilian hair comes from, how it's obtained might remain a bit of a mystery.

I assume there are regulatory boards for these things which would make it difficult to market synthetic hair as natural.

i once watched a documentary on aljazeera where some india women cut their hair in exchange for payment i try to remember the title of that doc but smh am sure some companies use human Hair for the wig

You dont believe in 100% human hair, but u believe it's either mixed. Mixed with what then?

I guess.

@freecocoa

I believe its a lil human hair(if there's anything like that) and synthetic.any problems with that?

Black women look like gorillas with these oyibo wigs. Certainly an admission of inferiority. Not being comfortable in your own skin hair. Pity

0kay sweet-thing, just try and take care of your own hair, spend more time on it, truss me, it can grow more than what you ever imagined, if you need someone to help you play with your real hair, call on me.

It's well known that there's a huge market in real human hair! With any premium product, of course there'll be frauds that try to parade synthetic hair as the real one just to get a higher price, but 100% human hair is out there.

It's mainly derived from deprived areas where people are quite desperate for income, including Asian & Eastern European countries. There've been scandals about how little these women are paid for their hair compared to how much the marketers sell it for.

most likely.

I was wondering if she wants to sell her hair

ie if it meets the criteria for purchase as per length, texture, etc.

^^^^

Sell which hair? the wig or the baldness?

Ehn naija girls na why una dey steal brazilian women hair ?
abi una no dey proud of una own hair?
after some time na oyibo women na im naija girls go start to dey theive

The mere fact that the majority of Afrikan women are unsure of the origin of the hair they weave into their skin, plus the chemical processing that takes place to make it marketable is a sure sign that ignorance is bliss. How can wearing another persons' hair be seen as enlightened and positive behaviour. Even the chemical processes that take place through relaxing/softening/texturizing leave harmful toxins in the liver. The route of cultural acceptance is always one way - from the global north to the south. The majority of our women look hideous sporting the follical roots of our historical oppressors. Thankfully there is a cherished minority that value their own natural hair and value their innate beauty.

There is nothing stronger than seeing a sister with her 'fro out, hair weaved naturally, rocking a crewcut etc,

Am surprised that some people do not believe that Brazilian or Indian Human hair is really what is being used! Why do you think it costs  so much? In fact the singer JEMILIA had a series in the UK where she was tracing the origin of all the hairs, it was shocking!

The Indian ones are mainly from Temples in India. Some of the hair was shown being picked from some kind of dump( the left overs) those are the cheaper ones. The program was called 'Whose Hair Is It Anyway (2008)'.

you can watch a lot of it on YouTube.

Nice pic used by OP
Passes across the message without confusion.

All this fake and artificial things.
