A Hairy Tale

From South Asia to East London, human hair is a little known but highly lucrative trade: Hair Trade Route.  

Recycled as expensive wigs for the West, or sold for use as raw material  for the chemical industry, India's human hair trade has grown into a multi million-dollar industry.  
Four types of hair are harvested in India: Temple hair, Village hair, Sikh hair and Barber hair.


Hair is used for a multitude of purposes. Men's Temple hair is used for jacket linings, cosmetic brushes, and is also interwoven with other fabrics to make suits. Lower quality Barber hair is converted into amino acids, which in turn are used in food and medicine.(Via J-walkblog)
