Many women think about selling their hair at least once in their lives. Is it possible to earn substantial money on this and where can you donate your curls at all?
Where to take your hair
To make at least some money on your hair, you need to have it at least twenty-five centimeters long. In this case, the hair should be unpainted and without signs of gray hair. You can find a buyer for such hair, but it is more difficult, and they will cost much less.
The cost of hair can be affected by its other characteristics - light or dark, curly or straight, Asian or European. In each specific case, the price for them is determined by fashion trends and desires of a particular buyer.
If your hair is dyed or has signs of gray hair, its minimum length for sale should be about forty centimeters, very coarse hair is bought if its length is at least half a meter.
The easiest way to sell hair is at a regular hairdresser. Sometimes during a haircut, the hairdresser himself offers the client to sell the hair, if suddenly a desire was expressed to drastically shorten it. On many Internet resources, you can find advertisements for the purchase of hair.
How the cost is formed
The cost of hair is highly dependent on its length and quality. The tariff scale for one hundred grams is built depending on their length. So, for example, for hair from twenty to thirty-five centimeters long (these are short) hairdressers offer from six hundred to a thousand rubles. For one hundred grams of strands from forty to fifty-five centimeters long, on average, they offer from one thousand to two thousand rubles. Long hair from sixty to seventy-five centimeters costs from two to three thousand rubles per hundred grams. Owners of hair from eighty centimeters to a meter for one hundred grams are ready to pay from three to six thousand rubles. Extremely long strands from one meter cost up to ten thousand rubles. It must be understood that the weight of an ordinary braid up to the waist on average is about four hundred grams.
Good quality blonde long hair is rated the most highly.
You don't have to settle for the very first offer to buy hair. Compare a few sentences. In different places, the prices offered may vary by several thousand rubles, since there is no uniform pricing for hair. Read ads, go to hairdressers, choose the most advantageous offer.
You shouldn't consider selling hair as your main source of income. It will take a couple of years to grow curls to a minimum length with an average hair growth of 12-17 centimeters per year. At the same time, hair of the minimum length cannot be sold expensively, and making a couple of thousand on this every two years does not seem like a good idea.
