Dead Head.

Hair extensions have become inscreasingly popular, last year we brits spent over £65 million on increasing the length of our hair.

To me the idea of wearing someone else's hair glued onto my scalp has always sickened me and I find it hard to understand why people would do it? I've been trying to grow my hair long all year and its taken ages to get just past shoulder length but ALLOW gluing someone elses hair onto my head! Its just odd.

I think (like meat) when hair comes sold in shops, sterilised and commercialised its easy for people to forget that you're actually looking at something that has been chopped from someones body. Really the hair extension business is fucking disgraceful.

In a top hair salon a full head of "european top quality" hair extensions can set you back 2 grand, when girls as young as 12 are shaving their heads for the standard price of £20.

In Hindu religions shaving the head is a sacrifice to the god Vishnu, the hair is often stolen from the temple and sold as hair extensions, only a quarter of the hair from India comes from here so the other 3/4 come from women trying to make some money. There are men and women that search rubbish dumps pulling hair from old hair brushes and combs to collect and sell.

Possibly even more disturbingly there has been proof that hair extensions have been traced back to morgues in Greece! Reports say morticians have been shaving the heads of dead women and selling it. Grim.

Much like fur, there is no way to tell where your hair extensions came from without scientific examination. Basically you could be wearing hair scraped from a comb in a rubbish bin or even a from dead women in Greece. G.L.A.M.O.R.O.U.S.

I suggest if your that obsessed with hair extensions go acryillic. They may be "cheap" and tangle easier but at least they didn't come from a corpse!

Peace.
