In India, it is very common for women, men, and children to shave all the hair off and donate it to be sold and bought. They do this because of their religion. When they willing get their hair shaved off, it is because its like they are sacrificing their hair to the gods of their Hindu religion. Once their hair is shaved off, it can't be said that it is all sold and shipped over to the United States but a lot of it is.

  2. Most people are not aware that many fake hair pieces are from india. I never knew that it had anything to do with their religion. I would think that id the hair was shaved for sacrifice it would be unethical to then sell it. You should add links to where this information comes from.
