Yeah, I read this too, and in the article said that the women and girls get *nothing* for cutting their hair, and the Hindu temple then gets all the profits. Ugh.

I also read that virtually all the "good" human hair on the market is Indian, because Chinese hair is not the right texture to be used by non-Asians and European hair is virtually non-existent on the market without paying very big bucks.

Still not sure how I feel about this...all this info is off the internet, so who knows how accurate it is...
