I've decided to get my hair cut quite short after 4 years of growth... leaving it to be pretty long (20-24 inches approx, haven't measured properly yet)

I have a few people suggesting that I cut my hair and sell it, since it's virgin hair, supposedly in good condition, healthy, thick and beautiful etc (you get the idea of the sort of things that some people say, I'm going off what girls say here, not my own judgement!). Being Indian is supposedly a good thing too.

Anybody have any idea how to do this? Google doesn't come up with much, and if possible I'd like to do it in person! (Birmingham area)

Any help here?

I don't know much about this, but I've seen videos on YouTube of people cutting their hair off in a pony tail, putting it into sealable sandwich bags and sending them off to a place where they make the donated hair into wigs! Im not 100% sure, so don't take my word for it good luck

Do you get money for doing this?

I bet you had a herd of black girls following you wherever you went.

You can't sell your hair. It's much cheaper to use the hair of Asians and Eastern Europeans in the manufacture of hair extensions, wigs, etc.

You can, however donate your hair to charities aimed at providing wigs for cancer patients.

would you be interested in giving it to charity? this is what i am currently attempting to grow my hair for a charity that makes the hair into wigs for children who have lost their hair through cancer treatment

That's a last resort, I'm a college student so money is first priority! If that fails then it's going to charity.

Being a strong believer in Voodoo magic i've heard people can put curses on you if they have a lock or even a single strand of your hair .
I wouldn't recommend that you sell your hair .

I also believe that people can capture your soul if they take a picture of you and if you tell a total stranger your full name and date of birth they can put a curse on you!

Edit: Oh yeah, i have -300 points now

You would have to contact hair extensions/wig companies and ask around, they may not pay much for it though
