    Default Feeling guilty about hair extentions

    I lust read an article about where the hair for hair extentions comes from. It said that women and children in India are sometimes forced to have their heads shaved and are given as little as £6 for theyre whole head of hair!! The article said that some women and street children are attacked and held down while theyre heads are shaved by gangs who collect the hair and sell it by the bundle.

    In the salon I get my hair done I was told that the hair came from Hindu temples where women sacrificed theyre hair voluntarily to Hindu gods and it was sold on to make money for the temple. Seemingly alot of hair is collected in this way but as the demands for hair increases more and more people are being attacked and robbed of theyre hair!

    I use Boheme hair and would hate to think of it being collected in this horrific way and have been lookng on the net to find the origins of this hair but cant find any information, does anyone know anymore about this or if there is a way for me to track where my hair came form?

    Wow,
    I've never heard of that. I have been considering extenstions, but think I'm leaning the other way now.

    hmm, who could you ask? I know my hometown had a large indian and pakistani population and there would be these small oasis of ethnic stores. If you have something similar in your area, I would say you're doing a school project and ask if there are either any local (stateside) Indian newspaper contacts you could talk to (who would assumably know how large or little a problem this is going on back home) or you could ask for newspaper contacts in India itself. It would probably be very easy to find a contact who speaks English, who you could ask these questions yourself by email.

    You may not want to know that bad. However, considering how clueless the US is about anything going on anywhere else, I would be that the percentage chances that the robbing of hair is a lot more common than any of us would expect. But, you never know? maybe it's a scare story that rarely ever happens.

    Not exactly what polekitten was talking about, but this still doesn't sit quite right:

    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world...805328,00.html

    One source in this article mentioned "growing concerns in the Indian hair trade." I don't think we know much at all about it at this point and will probably be shocked and ashamed in a few years to learn the truth.
