As a Vietnamese girl and love long, smooth, natural hair. I understand very well how difficult the care process can be. Honesty, to have beautiful and long hair, it is not possible to calculate the care time by days and weeks but by months and years. It took me over five years to get my hair from shoulder length to waist length. We love our hair very much, it is not only about our beliefs but also about our spiritual values. It breaks my heart when women have to sell their hair for their lives and pay unjust and undeserved prices. Please do not say bitter words to the reluctant, unlucky women who have to sell their hair.

Chao Chị! Thank you for putting what I felt in words. As a Vietnamese girl it also infuriates me to ever hardly hear about the criminalizing acts that America did to Vietnam, leaving our country to shredded pieces, and to see that the effects continue. The women's hair that are so pure, nuanced, and one-of-a-kind gets sold to American companies that capitalize off of many woman's impoverishment and lack of establishment to build a better life for herself and her family, therefore causing her to be compelled to sell her hair as there is no option not to. It will always pierce my heart whenever our people live through these abhorrent expenses that take a toll on their well-being and innocence. It is forever undeserving and Vietnam has never done anything to deserve this. All of these comments largely made by Americans if not solely made by Americans just prove to be that they still don't get it and that they cannot come close to comprehending how the monstrosity of the Vietnam War transcends to Vietnam's current life-threatening issues. They want our hair as accessories but fail to respect us... :/

@@tiffanylam2510 I'm not American, {UK} and think it's so wrong that women should be exploited for their hair, which is naturally raven black, glossy and like silk. It ends up on the heads of wealthy women, on film stars..a neighbour {UK} makes wigs for Hollywood elite, they are many many thousands of pounds for even a short hair wig, A long one would be a small fortune. {Neighbour is a well respected wigmaker, but lives in a modest house} If the Vietnamese women were given Thousands for their hair, it would be much fairer. The ''End user'' is likely a multi millionaire American who uses the very finest Vietnamese hair. The Vietnam War was awful. Barbaric. People are still suffering from birth defects from defoliants.

I just got extensions because my own hair is too sparse due to health issues. It cost me a LOT of money. But thinking of how most of that money went to the dealer and nearly none to the actual person who GREW my extensions, I've been feeling very weird. It's almost like an organ transplant and yet I felt so rushed and desperate to have decent hair that I had no money to get to know where it even came from.

I didn't even understand what they were doing honestly thought they just wanted to save time on cleaning up. Now I realise they probably collected it for sale didn't even know. It's not always like this

I just got reminded of the time I went to get my hip length hair cut and the woman who cut it suddenly started collecting my hair saying she was gonna use my hair to sell it for extentions. I hadn't agreed to that but she wanted to make money outta my hair so I got ticked off and took my hair from her and donated it to a cancer charity. Learned my mistake (I should have gone there from the get go). I'm mostly indigenous so my hair was mostly straight with a hint of waviness so to that woman it was perfect for sale without my permission. My suggestion to folks, if you have really long good hair and want to get a shorter cut, donate it to those who need it before going to a salon or at least get a good deal for it. I almost got my free hair sold off (almost stolen off. That woman made plans for my hair without consulting me ffs) Glad this man actually gives these women good deals and great cuts too. Can't believe some people only offer 3$ for all that hair when some women with long hair might only cut it for financial reasons.

It's amazing to see the other side of the spectrum where these women pride and cherish their hair, and it can help their families and homes.

He could majorly screw these women over by cutting their hair so much shorter and paying less money, but not only does he give them all a gorgeous hairstyle, he pays them excellently too. Sure, the world can suck sometimes, but it's people like Dan who remind you that good people still exist even in industries such as this.

@@thenerdybunny1296 they're based in America, so that's already not an option for me. But also, anyone can say they don't do anything, but that doesn't make it true. These kinds of "charities" get far more donations than they can use, and many of them aren't nearly good enough quality to be made into wigs, but they can be sold so they don't go to waste. One poor quality donation wouldn't fetch very much, but a few hundred definitely would, and they get plenty to reach that number. It's unreasonable to believe that they would just throw an unsuitable donation away (or high quality, some hair types are worth a lot more before being made into a wig) rather than sell it.

I grew a very long hair in my late teens, almost like the woman in the video. And I loved it, because I was never allowed to have my hair that long due to the extreme maintenance of thick hair when I couldn't take care it myself during elementary and middle school. But once I was 14, I never allowed another barber to come near my hair. Fast forward 5 years, depression hits due to school work and grades, my hair becomes too much tangled and dirty, and almost turned into ugly smelly dread locks due to lack of care for 2 years and all I wanted was to shave it off. It was a very sad thing because I felt like my long hair was the reason I felt ugly and miserable and a huge weight on my head. Even the hair stylist asked me if I was ok and wanted to fix my hair instead. But I just told him to shave it all off. My mom, who doesn't know about my depression because she was already having her own set of problems told me while the stylist shaved off my head that this hair might be sold off as a wig. "No way!" I said. "It's too dirty and jumbled up." To this the hair stylist replied that it doesn't matter. Hair is hair. And business is business. We actually make a good amount of money. But people rarely cut their hair this short. I just wanted to cry on the spot. Years of care and love to my hair, and suddenly someone wants to make money out of my depression. But I held it in thinking that maybe that someone was able to put food on their table again because of my hair.

There is no dignity in any of this. Put yourself in her shoes. You can't pay your rent or afford food. I come along and wave $500 infront of you and say I'll help you out but I want your hair and you to shave your head. You'd do what you have to do but based solely on your facial expressions alone, you're broken. I can see it, so can everyone else. Now just to smoothe things over, I tell you you're beautiful...which you are but you obviously don't feel that way. Do you still feel dignified? A month later, your rent was paid and food was on the table but you're still missing your hair, you're unhappy and self concious and now it's the next month...and rent is due again. Do you still feel dignified? I have a hard time believing anybody would feel like they have dignity when they are left with no other option and are forced to sell a part of themselves merely to exist and not die from starvation or exposure. This is not empowering, it's not dignified, it's exploitation.

Plus you can't compare going to a salon in the US with these women who live out far from a city life, they are out in the country and have farms. It's nothing at at all like living in America or Australia (myself) and visiting a salon and getting all the services you'd want, they are selling their hair just to survive not for fun. By the way he did use hair dressing scissors and a comb.

Really excellent journalism on display here. I have no interest in anything related to the beauty industry and yet I feel enriched by watching this. These kinds of minidocumentaries with no agenda aside from informing people of things going on in the world seem to be less and less common every day. Props to the people who worked on this.

this is so painful to watch . I have been offered money for my hair but refused . I am Bolivian and in bolivia there are indigenous women called cholitas that never cut their hair due to tradition . they have amazing thick dark hair most of the time below their butt and this extension trend has been eye opening for thief's. They literally mug them for their hair as it is easy because traditionally they wear hair in 2 braids always . so they cut , steal their hair and sell it to make wigs, extensions for 1st world countries . BEYOND FUCKED UP not to mention their hair = honor

Wonderful wonderful. I love how this brings so much to light. I've never used wigs, and have never given it much thought on where the hair comes from (I guess I kind of assumed it was from donations or something). I like that this helped ask (and answer) a question I never even thought of, and am now glad that I have, and I hope this video helps raise awareness to so many people. And more importantly, that Dan and his company will continue to get recognition, in hopes that the industry will grow into a more honest and compassionate one.
