The Human Hair Trade

A barber shop owner stands outside his salon in central Delhi. Hair from the barber shops is swept up and then sent off to the hair processing factories. This hair has a variety of uses ranging from stuffing for jackets, cosmetic brushes as well as the extraction of the amino acids within the hair which can be used in food and medicine.
