I'm probably the only wearer of human extension hair who thinks about this, but...
Do y'all ever stop in the middle of your enjoyment of "your" hair and wonder about the women whose heads actually grew it? I do sometimes, at the weirdest times, like when I'm sitting down to a big meal in a nice restaurant, or the other day when I was at the salon hardly flinching buying a $50 bottle of conditioner, or even sometimes when I'm in really intimate settings and my guy touches my hair... I think about the women (Indian, in the case of my hair) who were probably not financially blessed to be able to spend money on non-necessities, and might not even have been living at a basic sustenence level. I wonder about their lives, their lovers, their children... I think about how odd it is that these women's lives have so intimately intersected the life of the woman now wearing their hair. These aren't troubling thoughts, really, but little moments of jumping back from my own egocentric position where I contemplate "my" hair and where it was before it became "mine." Weird, huh? I've always said that therapists are some of the strangest people around, and this proves it for sure!  ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

I have thought about it too, its kind of sad. I couldn't imagine
being able to grow my real hair this long and then cutting it off,
ugh. I think the indian hair is given up for religious purposes,
so the women probably feel better about giving it up. My mom is older, and she swears they kill people for their hair lol. I try to tell her they cut it off to sell it and she just gives me the "I know better" look lol.....you know how stubborn mothers are. ------------- Wearing 22" 8oz Tease I tips installed with silicone microrings. |

now i must say, although i have wondered about the person from whom my extension hair was removed......you have gone into much deeper thought about them kristie! for instance, when i am bored and twirling the hair around my finger.......a nasty habit i would have with my real hair would be to pull it over my lips, but, with extension hair i stop and think: noooo its not really MY hair you are gross stop it!
all information i have read leads me to believe that the hair is willingly given, it is a commodity, it is for sale, i work to earn money, i chose to spend it on hair that my poor widdle head would just not grow itself (and just think, all those women have that hair for free AND theirs grows back)
yes, i am a hair piggy

Now thats why Moff has turned to Synthetics:D *looks proud* xD But ive had my fair share of human hair, and my friends would react with discust when i mentioned it was REAL human hair O.o Like think about it, where gluing some random indians chics hair onto our head o.o Go figure xD
I had great lengths but i got these , Tougths, about dead idian/asian chics coming and haunting meh (yes i watched The Grudge and The ring one too many times!) and i got total freak out!
So then i switched to cheap B.B.S store, wich was much greater for my consiuence because who the hell knows where that hair came from, but "ze crappeh" quality of it all drove meh nuts, then Sherrie and Wawa came and saved my life xD the end ------------- 12 Inch Wawa, Installed with Protac, i love hair extensions<3

I stopped feeling so weird about it once I detached the other person's head and just left their hair. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

| Nope. For all I know a man grew it too, but I honestly don't care too much about it, its just hair. Ive shaved my head before, no big deal. |

Whew! Good to know I'm not the ONLY one with such weird thoughts! I'm also the one on the plane to Europe (with absolutely NO fear of flying whatsoever) to be thinking, "Wow I'm 30,000 feet above the ground right now... I wonder how long it would take me to fall 30,000 to the ground..." Laffin.. I once flew with a fellow therapist to a conference in Northern California where we were to be co-presenters at a conference. I had NO idea that he was terrified of flying so I went on about plane crashes and such while we went from Orange County to LA on a small commuter plane. Poor guy had such a panic attack that he got off in LA and took a BUS to our destination, I'd freaked him out so much!

| When I was coming back from Norway, I had a bunch of episodes of "Lost" on my laptop that I was watching. It just never occurred to me that it would be inappropriate to watch, until a flashback scene popped up, where they showed the plane crash. The lady next to me was apparently horrified and complained to a stewardess (I didn't know she was upset as I had headphones on, and if she just asked me I would have turned it off, but whatever), and the stewardess asked me to turn it off. I did, and laughed because the whole thing was stupid. Then played the Sims 2 for the rest of the flight. |

My thoughts are even weirder. The criminologist in me thinks about the two different types of DNA I'm leaving behind everywhere I go, and I wonder how it would confuse investigator's during a criminal investigation. I usually think about that right after I think about my ex-husband.

LOL, monsterita! My background includes criminal investigation, too, and I've also thought if they started plucking hairs from my house for DNA testing, someone's going to wonder about the 200 Asians and Indians I've had in my house. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

That is so funny! I never even thought of the DNA aspect! You could surely confound a crime scene with all these different funky hair types. Amm, I laughed out loud thinking of criminologists trying to figure out YOUR home situation--forensic conclusion: "The person was murdered by 187 Indian and 142 Chinese women."
Kalika, I can't believe someone looking over your shoulder watching stuff on your computer had the gall to complain to a flight attendant about it! ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

Hmmmm, I just had a thought. You could totally get away with a drug hair follicle test with the extension hair.
Not that I do it, but still

i can just see me going to seek help from kristie for my hair extension compulsion, and her giving me a clean bill of health.......turning the whole session into a discussion of 'where did you purchase that, and how much, and what method.....and 'let me see your bonds', and even writing on her treatment plan for me to 'only invest in quality remi hair' !
