 Annette Moore’s long blonde hair has been her crowing glory for years. Now she’s decided 1 to get the lot chopped off. But she won’t be paying the salon 2 they’ll be paying her.


You’re looking at anything from about £60 upwards 3, I would have to put a top on it of about £120.
With money tight and bills to pay, a number of British women are selling their hair to make some extra cash. And Annette’s natural blond locks are among the most sought-after.
Well I need the money really, I might use it for going abroad with friends in August or just keep it aside for the bills really.
It’s a multi-million dollar industry and it’s growing . Bloomsbury say they receive up to 40 envelopes of hair a week. Those that make the grade will either be made into a wig 4 or sold as hair extensions. The late British singer Amy Winehouse once replied when asked if her hair was all her own “It’s mine because I bought it.” 
The majority of hair comes from China, India or Eastern Europe, but that’s changing. Bloomsbury Wigs 5 run by Graham Wake, is one of a small number of so-called “hair harvesting salons”.
This is a new market for the UK, I would say that about 50 percent of our purchased hair is now within the UK and I would hope to say that within about a year we’ll be buying a 100 percent of our hair purely 6 from UK.
Graham estimates he’ll spend £100,000 on hair this year. £120 of that will go to Annette, but it will be sold for considerably 7 more after it’s been made into a wig or hair extensions.
The clients love to be able to come in, look at all this unprocessed hair and actually select the pony 8 tails and they give us some time to obviously make them up into extensions. This will probably cost from about a £1,000 to about £1,300.
Annette’s certainly pleased with the extra cash and her new complimentary 9 hair do. But if she wants to repeat the process,it may take up to five years until her hair grows back.
