In a village in central China, once you hua is having a haircut one she's being paid for a hundred and fifteen dollars to sell her hair feel quite emotional, but I've got other priorities. Now I've got grandchildren. The lady collecting her hair does about five hundred cuts. A year traveling the countryside to find women and girls willing to sell this, isn't the first time that one show hua has had her hair cut off, but the last time she sold her hair was almost two decades ago. It'S taken that long to get this long again. The hair ends up in this market, where prices for ponytails are haggled over according to weight, color and quality. Then it's on to a hair processing Factory. Here the hair is detangled cleaned and count, though we're not allowed to film it. Some hair is also died or plunged into bleach to make it blonde. I'M in metal hop bin girls, don't just sell their hair for money. Some just want a new hairstyle, but the money is helpful. One haircut is enough to buy a lot of makeup around the town of tie. Her hair processing employs a hundred thousand people, seven hundred work in this factory alone, using hair from five hundred thousand women and girls. They make one and a half million hair extensions a year. Sometimes I think the hair is so long. I wonder how many years it took to grow this long, the hair extensions are exported to salons like this one in Sydney, Australia, the salon hair by ash. There'S about ten extensions a week, Emily Miller first got extensions. A few years ago she says longer. Hair makes her feel great. It gives me like an alter ego. This makes me I don't really think about they come from nine, but when I brought them from their salon, no showed me that is sort of fair trade and it's all sort of legal. So yeah. As long as I know, that's the case and I'm fine with it, Emily Miller loves her new look when Shu hua does not, but she knew what she was doing and she thinks she got a fair price. What'S not possible to know, though, is whether there was coercion behind any of these. Was every grower so willing to cut a deal Andrew Thomas al-jazeera, its hi, her China,
Comments
s_xoxo: Some people who complain about culture appropriation or stealing culture, have no problem stealing hair from people
Ely lioney: It only took months for my hair length to go from a bob to it’s maximum length, at my waist.
Agatha Meibusch: Seriously? It took that long to grow that 30 centimetres long?
Blockchain Bot.: One hair cut can buy a lot of make up ???
Tina Cohen: Money for Vanity
c gott: 115 dollars she should have asked for more
Forrester Nickacia: Black woman are making these people rich !!
Kubera: hmmmm
J K.: Hair extensions should be banned at the work place.
michaelgerard2: I want black women to see this video and see the start difference between EXTENSIONS and WEAVES. EXTENSIONS look like your own hair, you just want YOUR hair to look longer. WEAVES are where you take hair that is a COMPLETELY different texture than your own, wrap yours up and hide it, and then wear somebody else's hair for weeks at a time.
Charlie: People are so obsessed with what black women do. People are talking about “black women” this and “black women” that, but there was not one black woman shown or spoken of in this video. The lady who is shown getting her weave done isn’t even black. Why do people care so much what others do with their hair and body? Is it effecting you in anyway? No.
