Hair

"A 16-inch braid carefully tended over the course of several years sells for around $50. "It's not hard to understand why people in Ukraine sell their hair a hundred times more often than people in Sweden," said one hair importer based in the Ukraine. "They are not doing it for fun. Usually, only people who have temporary financial difficulties in depressed regions sell their hair." The blonde hair trade is far from new, though as eastern European countries slowly make economic gains, it is becoming more difficult for hair scouts to find girls willing to part with their locks. In the United States, hair dealers say consumers aren't particularly fussed about the origin of the hair. "They are concerned about their looks more than anything else," said one California-based dealer."
