The Dark Roots of New York's Hair Trade
This is a story that is relatively unknown and unreported. It is about the 'hair trade', as in hair extensions and weaves which are becoming ever more popular. Bet you didn't know that your expensive weave had anything to do with third-world poverty and Chinese prison camps, did you? I didn't either.I've never had any of these hair 'processes' - not because my baby-fine, lank hair couldn't use some improvement, but simply because I do not spend much time with cosmetic enhancements and consider them frivolous, unnecessarily time-consuming and ridiculously expensive.
Whether or not you indulge in these hair-enhancing procedures, this is a very interesting, compelling article, written by Aina Hunter for the Village Voice. Read "Hair Traffic" here.
