    Increasing numbers of women in Venezuela are selling their hair for use in wigs and extensions at a time when the country’s sharp economic decline has led to shortages and hyperinflation has made salaries nearly worthless.http://apne.ws/GnIBkfk

        i dont see why it is a big deal. I have donated my hair many times. And selling hair is a safe and harmless way of making some extra money. Does a woman lose worth for having short hair? No.

        I think the point is they’re having to sell it for their own survival. But hey, socialism is great yes?!
