I'v heard so many horror stories about human hair, and how they obtain it. Thats why I only buy synthetic.

Oh my! That's sick, I hope there's no truth to that. I wouldn't be surprised though.
Of course they are! It's all about the money. They use Indian women's hair in hair extensions, as well as Chinese, Malaysian, Brazilian women's hair. If it's human hair, it came from someone's head, dead or alive. In countries where the laws are lax and not enforced, they get away with it. There is also animal hair on the market for certain textures (i.e. refined Yak hair). That's no myth. If women in India sell their hair for money (many are poor), then why wouldn't they cut the children's hair to get more money for the family? I mean, people sell their children to get money and prostitute them, so what is a little hair cutting to them? Seriously. There was a special on National Geographic about the prostitution of children in India, so I doubt they'd give a second thought to selling hair!

Some of that Indian Remy comes from hair sacrificed in religious ceremonies. Some women save their shed hair and sell it. There are also reports of women getting their hair cut and stolen by thieves in Southeast Asia. Suppliers often use animal hair in the mix as well and still label it human hair.

i agree with you ,support you. most women think that violate morality, so they go to temple to cut their hair , so that god can forgive them , then most indian hair are from indian temple.

It covers some of the same basic facts that "Good Hair" talks about and features an Indian family who go to a temple to donate their hair. You can watch it online here: http://www.linktv.org/programs/hair-india - it's very informative.
Not all Indian hair is temple hair. Vendors use that as a selling point so you wouldn't have it without knowing about it. From the documentary you can think about it as tithe or offering in Christian churches except that their's is also tied into ritual purification that includes head shaving. The temple sells the hair and this no doubt contributes to upkeep (these temple structures are very old). I'm not sure about corpse hair from India because they practice cremation.

Female prisoners in Russia, Asia, and S. America also have their heads forcibly shaved and the hair is sold to profit prison guards who set up and run the operation.

Strictly speaking, remy or remi hair, is hair that has been remitted in Hindu temples. Some women in India and other regions practice tonsure. Tonsure is a religious practice associated with Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism whereby the devotees shave their heads as a demonstration of their religious devotion.

I have worn virgin Indian hair while I was relaxed I am not wearing it now because I will not be torturing my hair with a flat iron to blend with the straight hair now that I am transitioning. I bought my hair from a reputable vendor who I believe I can trust but just the same as you dont know exactly where your jeans or shoes came from or what they went through before you purchased them I cant be 100% sure about the hair. A lot of people dont realize it's not only the hair industry that's corrupt but those jeans you are wearing could have been sewn by a seven year old worker in a hot room in india working for only a few rupies a day. I guess the point Im trying to make is we can just try to be as informed as possible of where our products come from but just not to point fingers at others without making sure our own hands are clean first.WHAT???
