Make Money selling your hair

I was reading a new article on CNN. A lady needed money to buy presents for her kids but she had lost her job. She had to make money to do that. She had long hair, so she decided to cut the hair to sell.

This is an excerpt from the article

" "Everyone was telling me how beautiful my hair was," the 27-year-old said. Her friends suggested that she sell it.

"I thought, 'Why not? I'll check it out,' " she said.

"We're trying to keep our place here," she said. "We don't want to become like people right now who are losing their homes."

With the economy squeezing the budgets of more Americans, some people are looking for creative ways to pay their monthly bills. Selling hair on the Internet is just one of those unusual methods.

"We've seen about a 20 percent increase in the last four months," said Jacalyn Elise, co-founder of TheHairTrader.com, referring to the number of ads offering hair for sale posted on her site. "These days, some people are just in need of money."

Henriksen was paid $1,200 for 27 inches of her tresses. But most hair is sold for about $300 to $900, says Marlys Fladeland of Hairwork.com. The hair is used to make wigs or hair extensions or is used in artwork"

Cool money she made.
