		<description>I wanted to add to the info on Indian hair:
	
Indian Hair - Indian hair is considered by many to be the most beautiful hair in the world. It is fine in texture and comes with a natural body wave that is the perfect texture for most people. Indian hair can also be purchased with a strong natural curl which is full of volume.
A large percentage of highest quality hair extensions sold today are from India. Wondering how so much hair can come from India? Do people just sell their hair or is the hair taken from dead people? 
   
India is a country with a large religious population of Hindus. Hinduism is a religion consisting of various customs and beliefs in the name of faith. One such belief in Hinduism is sacrificing ones hair in the name of god. Donating hair to god is an ancient practice which has been going on for many centuries. For most people, hair is what defines their appearance and beauty.  In India, cutting your hair is considered letting go of your ego for God. No one is greater in front of God, and by sacrificing your hair in the name of God, you are letting go of your ego and devoting time for God. People in India usually donate hair because they are grateful for a blessing or asking for a blessing.
 
Everyday thousands of Hindus gather in religious places like temples to pray to God and sacrifice their hair. Temples have tonsure rooms where devotees sit in rows and get their hair shaved by people appointed by the temple. The cutting process is done in a clean hygienic environment using disposable razors. The hair is then collected and put aside for auction. The hair in these auctions is usually sold by the ton. A chain of buying continues from the main buyer to various middle men and distributors. These large quantities of hair are sent to the factories of the suppliers and then sorted, hackled and sorted by length. It is then sterilized, washed and dried under the sun outdoors. After drying, it is drawn and tied into bundles.</description>
