Now this might be shattering news for all those who admire the beautiful locks of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, J-Lo, Kate Beckinsale, John Galliano, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Victoria Beckham.
The hair that are seen bouncing up and down their shoulders are not theirs but of some unknown and unacknowledged devotees who donate their hair in Tirupati Temple in South India in a religious ceremony called tonsuring.
Every day, up to 4,000 women sacrifice their crowning glory, which are bleached, high-lifted using ammoniated mercury, and then bonded on to the heads of rich Western women who want to imitate the latest red carpet fashion for wavy tresses.
At a minimum of £500 in exclusive salons all over the UK, one can have real human hair extension called ‘temple hair’ popularly, bonded on to their own, thickening or lengthening it instantly.
