    Question Hair extensions,and prayers ?

    Salam guys
    I know there is worst in the world but see this
    Well Yesterday I wached envoyer special a french documentary-show for the ones that are not familiar with french tv.
    It was about hair extentions , so for the ones that dont know , hair extentions is a huge growing business around the world , but what's outraging to me is this : where do they get the hair from?.

    an important majority in india go to this temples to pray , and make offerings , and if they are poor , they offer their hair , as a prayer , to ask for succes ,healing , and to thank .
    the hair then is collected by a business men , a 30years old indien man born and raised in the uk , studied business in one of the most prestigious universty .
    After the hair is collected , it is sent to Italy , an american business men own a factory , where the hair is treated , teinted , processed .
    if there is flaws in the color while tinting ,the hair is sent back to india , where our first guy owns a big house and has about a hundred empolyees to clean up the ponytails , hair by hair , the employees can not talk during work at all . not treated right of cource and paid pennies .
    Hair back to Italy for finishing touches , then sent around the world for hair extentions.
    Average extentions in europe , 1000 euros .
    in the states starts at $1500 , could go for more than $5000 .
    the sad part is all these innocents pepeole that are giving their hair for free
    Cancer centers could use that hair for patients ,
    These guys are now billionaires , and dont even think about the poor pepeole that give up their hair because they had nothing else to offer, so they can get somthing prayed for .

    Girls please dont get hair extentions .
    I was about to take the classe to start doing it to my clients , I just cancelled it .
    I'm so sad to see that

    Does that mean that temples are privatized or something like that?

    I've never thought about where the hair comes from because I don't have the need for extensions but, yes you're right. It is unfair...

    Salam... but then, there are many people, especially in the west, who donate their hair directly to cancer research and similar charities for sponsorship and the money goes there too alhamdulillah. Not that Im saying get hair extensions, I think they are a total waste of money cause in the end.. well they ruin your natural hair me myself... like u girls, Im au naturel no colouring no extensions alhamdulillah. Fi amenallah
