Myanmar women's healthy long hair is associated with religious beliefs and dignity. Besides that, it is the beauty and pride of femininity.
Nowadays, their hair is as precious as gold. Many people sell their hair to support their families and improve their livelihoods. Their hair became hairpieces or wigs sold all over the world.
Although technology can produce fake hair wigs, natural hair is still in demand worldwide.

By the time it ends up at the wig salon it can cost between $800 to over a $1,000
🤔 hair today…gone tomorrow!

Keep your hair for YOURSELVES, Ladies.
Great thing is that hair grows back. It’s a real shame that this is something that these women have to do to just live.
Seems like a healthy trade in Myanmar. Women gain money for a month or more for a resource that is constantly growing, women else-where in the world get to feed their beauty fads and trends. Everyone is happy.
Exploitation.
@@anthonythompson9741 there aren’t many ways to exploit people for something that grows completely free out of their scalp.
@@cookie22100 A child with beautiful long hair who gets shorn like a sheep at the behest of parents who want or need the money can be (and are) exploited. This report didn't touch on that aspect but it happens frequently (and can be witnessed right here on You Tube).
@@anthonythompson9741 I mean, sure, but I still don't picture that as being among the greatest forms of human exploitation, at the expense of quality of life. Plus they do not shave the head completely bald when harvesting hair. That would make the cuticles of the hair impossible to organize and use in the factory process. The donor's hair is simply cut short. in reality, the most exploitation would happen at the factory level.
I invite you to include articles or video content of your examples of exploitation in the hair industry.
There are. A lot of these women are paid little to nothing while the sellers sell the wigs for thousands of dollars
Well, this is probably one business that will never go out of style especially lotta women and alot of men that will actually pay for hair
Long hair is gorgeous, a women's glory ❤
Appreciate your Appreciation 👊
@@MONEYAINTATHANG100 my grandmother's hair was 3 feet dragging on the ground when she passed away. . Your hair is gorgeous, don't cut it. But if you save the hair from your comb and hair brush, you can sell it.
No
@@edwang8975 well shave your head than
I'm glad mine is long and thick !
My wife usually grow her hair really long then cut them and donate to charity for people with cancer.
no one should wear another people hair !
we need to are allowed to be bald even if we are not ill
@@Jsarmy87124that’s what I heard as well, so I buy synthetic drawstring ponytails for a special occasion.
So sad that poverty-stricken women are in such a position. How many tears are spilt by poor women to feed the vanity of richer women.
Most women who buy wigs are black, so you just called black women vain. Racist
Much better than having to sell a kidney
at least they have a market and buyer willing to buy what they grow naturally. their middlemen should do well to compensate them fairly
What is that white substance they apply on the face made of? Thank you
Its thanaka its a paste made from ground bark its used as a sunscreen and other cosmetic and medicinal reasons
@@SastimDokha_ Thank you very much, it is interesting because it is a natural product.

@@supermodelatlanta1354 Yes it thanaka its a paste made from trees
They will grow back😊
it depends actually not always
Great!
The best Thai Chinese channel
Long hair 👏 👏
Nothing wrong!! Don’t scare & dont worried.
AS LONG AS YOU CAB AFFORD REAL HAIR THEN BUY IT.
The company did alots to clean it & make it clear & no harmful to used.
IM VIETNAMESE- SOUTHEAST ASIAN!!
I remember when I was kid, we’re poor & country is under developing.
BUY HAIR IS VERY POPULAR HERE!! Because we ASIAN VERY LOVE TRADITIONS LONG HAIR!!
I remember 90-00s if there are 10 women out there then 7 women have SUPER THICK & LONG BLACK SILKY HAIR!!
Special for women in countryside & rural areas, they’re more TRADITIONAL!!
Alots ppl not sold their hair even they have PLENTY THICK HAIR, IT ABOUT TRADITIONAL & PROUDLY OF LONG HAIR.
But recently when country is devolveping & richer, life getting better. Ppl is more open mind with short hair & fashion, that’s why they’re sold hair usually.
Im 35yo now, I sold my hair once when I was teenage, it long time ago.
NOW, RARELY TO SEE PPL SOLD HAIR IN CITY.
Mostly buyers have to go to rural villas & countryside to buy hair!!
Because in city, ppl trimming their hair from middle to short. Not long enough to sold, that’s why left hair in HAIR SALONS COLLECT LEFT HAIR FROM CUSTOMER & SOLD IT WITH VERY CHEAP PRICE FOR BUYERS. Mostly is short hair to make bangs hair .
So, real human hair is good & beautiful, but it can be expensive if compare to fake hair.
Mostly ppl complain about price. Real hair cost more than fake hair already. Ppl need to remember the cost adding is about EMPLOYEES WORKERS. It’s all HANDMADE MAKE FROM HANDS & IT TAKE ALOTS TIME TO FINISH FOR 1 HAIR DONE.
Depend on hair long & styles. It take 2-3week or 4week to finish 1 hair.
SO PLEASE, STOP SAYINH YOU ONLY BUY 50-60-70$/hair from POOR VILLAGERS & SOLD FOR 600$.
You don’t cost electricity, employees, transportation, taxes to finish it.
Then wholesale buy it & sales for customers & they’re raise price too.
IM NOT SAY IT RIGHT TO BE EXPENSIVE BUT EVERYTHING HAVE REASON & THIS IS HOW LIFE GOING
Ultimately those hairs from ladies will go to hair salon which prices up significantly
in the hairdressing world "virgin" hair means the cuticle is intact and facing the same direction, if the cuticle is missing or facing the wrong direction the hair wont last a week. Only reputable distributors can guarantee this
This literally makes zero sense. I see a lot of people talking like you and saying that a cuticle is not in the same direction. That makes no sense. The hair cuticle means the outermost layer of the hair strand. You’re making it sound like the cuticle is at the top or bottom because how else will the cuticle go in different directions? How can the outer part of hair go in different directions, make it make sense please
@@feliciaboston6365 you have to look up hair cuticle magnification. If they are not all pointing down they tangle with each other
Great haircut
@@rog5184 that still makes zero sense. The cuticle is the out layer of hair. How could an outer layer go in different directions?
@@feliciaboston6365 you can only tell by magnification 😂
I kinda don't blame them, I love my hair too, 😍
Atleast she pays them a fair price for the economy
I would be rich if we have this facility in my country. We waste our hair in trash 😂😂😂
Sounds like the beginning of a business for you 😎
India ? This business exists here too
Bangladeshi people have long hair too but thanks to pollution their hair is being damaged specially new generation
The sales for their hair is as much their 1 month wage and they got a free haircut.. As long as they are not cheated or forced it is okay...
would you sell your hair for that much?
@floralbeautyful absolutely. I also come from a 3rd world country where hair is valued but if I could sell my hair for even $20 I would do so in a heartbeat.
It looks weird to see all that human hair lying around 😂🤪
It's so lovely to see these girls having their long hair cut off to short.
They haven’t found the right women. Some women with PCOS grow their hair extremely quick. ( as long as their intake of protein is high) I can cut my hair from waste length to my shoulders and within the following two years it’ll be right back down. I’ve never heard of washing hair in herbs, I may have to look into that. My daughters hair is also the same as mine except her is jet black with beautiful tight curls.
I think I have PCOS but my hair doesn't grow fast why
Women with pcos have hair loss and thin hair (that's literally one of the most common symptoms of pcos), wth are you talking about?
@@malloryknox6802 not ALL women with PCOS ( especially younger ones) lose their hair, much less have the same symptoms. My hair grows substantially fast as does my daughters and while most with PCOS are over weight to extremely over weight I am not.
Pure tragedy.
Fascinating
This video is very nice, how can I get in touch with the Myanmar hair sellers. Am interested in doing business with them. Thank you.
american black woman need to starting wearing their own hair
Bruh
thank you fo diz, robloak.
🤩💎🌟
well jellybean, ima sell mah hair with gray hair to beautiful myanmar. to them.
how much do ya think it'll fetch.
diz was totally fascinatin', btw.
💖🤗😂🥰🌹👑💝
What is their hair routine
Ginger , rosemary, rice water , vegetarian/vegan food.
Genetics
She have beautiful long hair
❤well thank you ladies
Hi! What does everyone have on their faces?
They’re tribes ingenious ppl in Myanmar. There are alots tribes ppl & each tribe have different cultures.
They’re painting white stuff in face because it’s their cultures. It’s some floor & herb leafs blending together then paint on face.
Only traditional ppl wear it, they believe it a beautiful sign & make healthy life. White is beautiful & poor colors in their cultures
Others tribes use blak colors.
Thanaka. It's used as a sunscreen
Better than selling kidney
Hey guys what did these women apply on their cheeks and face ?
They applied Sandal Wood.. they apply it to protect the skin from sunlight.. even in bangladesh we have few tribes like Chakma, Marma, Rakhain, Manipuri etc they look the same like Asians and they do it too..
And sandal wood is very good for skin care as well..
@@sakuraharuno4667 ooo I know sandal wood is good for aging too. They're genius 😊😊
I'm not sure about their safety.... The ones with long hair. Crime?
Bruh why they still like kinda poor if their hair is healthy shiny virgin....
Realistic wig are expensive
I have long hair up to my hips i wouldn't trade it for the world 😅
When you have nothing to eat and not even a roof over your head I think you might change your mind. Be grateful of your circumstances.
@@whushaw nah still wouldn't trade just work harder somewhere else
Same
@@i-3137 no work opportunities
You would if you kids would be starving of hunger and lack of medicine or facing reality of not being able to pay your rent
Ppl need to seriously embrace their natural hair already instead of buying and wearing fake ass hair ffs then there wouldn’t be exploitation like this happening to poor ppl..if the hair sells for $700+ USD in the salons..that’s how much these women should get and then upsell to the ppl who buy this hair on the back end.
Wigs are also used by people who have no hair such as people undergoing chemo or a body condition such as alopecia I believe, also cosplayers. If you don't want them to wear wigs then go to every wig seller and pay them an amount that would last a lifetime. These women decide to sell their hair willingly to survive. If you have a problem with them being "exploited" again, go to every single one of them and pay them the same amount to which they sell their hair or the 700+ USD you claim they should get. It's either they starve or sell their hair and they decided the latter. Don't be mad at the wig sellers nor buyers, be mad at the people who made it so that living costs a fortune.
In India the trade is also booming
Myanmar girl hair is so silky nd long.
🤔 hair today…gone tomorrow ☹️
mm is the proud customer
Now why he ate PU PU up like that at 14:20 lmaoooo 14:20
Where all the hair that black women so proudly walk around with calling Brazilian, Peruvian etc, when it's Asian!
Not all black women wear weave. It's gross!
Different hair comes from different places
A lot of African American fake hair is from hair of women of these countries, especially women whose hair isn't as the same texture as theirs.
jewish women, white women, white men... the list goes on
The ones that scream about “cultural appropriation” love to wear these women’s hair in the braids that they say no one else is allowed to wear…the hypocrisy is mind boggling.
@@kt4044 Lebanese Turkish Egyptian Iraqi , Syrian women wearing hair extensions. Even the veiled women.
Fun fact : In their religion , called "Islam" , it’s forbidden and considered like a sin.
These Arabic Muslims are also very racist toward South Asians communities, while they wear their hair. Such a paradox.
Um, you do know "African American" women are not the only ones who dabble in the hair extension industry. Most female celebrities, yes, even the non-Black ones, have hair extension pieces, micro-extensions, etc. their hair, you just can't tell. Lots of women of means in general, tend to add hair extensions to their hair for a more full look. Lets put the age old stereotypes to rest.
@@DearBill hahaha what? arab women are known for beautiful long hair, they dont need that u lying
here in europe we are being poison and loose hair...
What’s on the face
This is terrible. Shamefull for Myanmar and those who buy wigs made of natural hair from women in need. Humans are not human.
Why shameful? It actually helps those people in need to replaced their hair into money for them to eat, plus hair will grow back and it also help those people who wants to wear wig.
@@mattydudak5250 they shouldn't need to cut something off of them just to have money to afford human basic things and hair doesn't always grows back especially back when it was originally
@@mattydudak5250 people shouldn't be wearing other people's hair in their heads absolutely gross
@@i-3137 so what else can u do for those people who are financially in need? Bcuz we can say and argue things here that actually won't help them financially right? They do what they think they have to do to survive and other people benefits from their hair to style it or for beautification reasons.
@@mattydudak5250 they can sell food and other stuff there's always options then selling yourself or something apart of you
I can’t respect people who put on fake hair. It’s not natural and can be a sign of self hate.
Nonsense! So you say that to blood diamonds, gold and fashion made in labour camps non China, Cambodia or Indonesia? So you know how exploited miners in Africa for the metal on your IPhone and others. Don’t get me started 🙄😏
Say that to a young teen girl who lost all her hair due to chemo all while fighting against cancer and a low self-esteem due to her condition. Wigs help uplift sooo many women and men who are terminally ill; it helps them from being stared at. Educate yourself and stop acting privileged
Sux to be you. Close minded.
All celebs😆
Who what race of people do you think instilled that self hatred to another race of people they enslaved and are still abusing till this day. I’ll wait
What is plastered on their faces?
Thank God for the Gift of islam, fake hair, fake nails and makeup is all forbidden I am beautiful the way God created me Alhamdulillah

Hello, I come through this comment to talk about the good news of salvation called: Jesus Christ! God sent him to earth to die to save us from our sins and eternal damnation. The bible says in John 3:16 that God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Accept Jesus as your only savior. He died, rose again and will return to seek those who believe in him. Take a test: Pray to the Almighty God and ask him to change your life and reveal himself to you and accept Jesus as your savior.
Does anyone know what some of the women put on their face? Looks like some kind of mud pack?
Omg! She’s crying because they are cutting her hair😂!… come on girl,it will grow back!
@Sabrina Belladonna Her circumstances forced her to sell. It’s not just the hair, it’s the pain of poverty. And yes, it will grow back. It’s probably better than prostitution or drug dealing.
not everyones hair always grows back in fact i had friend who had cut most of her hair years ago healthy and beautiful and long and till this day it hasn't reach anything down from her shoulders she regrets it
Her religion says its beauty its more than just hair
@@Katherine_xsthank you, to a lot of people their hair means a lot to them.
Imagine if they all came together and raised the prices of their hair 😔 and stopped supplying these chicken heads in the US
i swear people who wear other people's hair is weird and gross it's like wearing someone's cut off nails
Maybe some people are bald, or have cancer. Ur comment is unnecessary and insensitive.
Almost every thing has an exception. People with Medical Condition, loosing their hair want some type of hair to cover their head and self image better than no hair.
Tell that to a cancer patient that is hanging onto life and their self esteem.
@@highlyfavoured6789 they don't need hair to make them beautiful i've seen bald queens
@@oxennguyen3148 do you think people who were naturally bald in the old days had any options for hair? no they had to live and rule with it and not care because hair doesn't completely define a persons beauty periodt
I dont like the script of this documentary and the approach. Looks like an old colonialist documentary full of ignorance with a non modern perspective on diversity,that’s sad. Sad that this is the image that it gives of western world. Stuck in 1930 when then entire globe is im 2023. 💁
that is not true. there are other countries in the world that is not living like it is 2023. I am Burmese and Thai but i was raised and born in America and we are more fortunate than most. It is in fact like this. if you go visit you shall see. This document isn’t ignorant this is a real thing and issue going on in fact most Westerners and your comment sound ignorant and uneducated to think where we are at and us thriving should apply to worldwide. It really is bad in Myanmar. Politically, Economically. it is like the past still remains
exactly, i cant believe they said that modernity didnt change myanmar "because traditional attire is still prevalent" and that they put their "translation" on salesman speech even though what he wanted to communicate was perfeclty clear. These people need ot read some ethics texts from anthropologists
@@cookiessandmilk you are an american than. Also if the situation is bad somewhere its not a reason to make a completely tone deaf documentary. Learn to read first, te comments said nothing about socio econmic situation on that region, its about the quality of the documentary
Cry
@@cookiessandmilk in France we consider East Asian the closest community to French and Jewish values , especially Thai and Chinese are really appreciated and are facing no discrimination (or it’s really rare).
The case of Arabic is very very warm topic here , but everyone knows many Black Asian Jews Hindu and Latinos are fully recognized and respected.
But if you are a Rohingya or Hui , it should very difficult to understand and communicate because of islamic practice opposing anything what is no muslim.
I find this disturbing and somewhat tribalistic.
Wearing someone else's hair is seen as a trophy, an act of killing and a proof of said act.
This... is highly confusing to me.

@@HauTran-sunfromsouth Yes but... i don't really buy hair.
I think you're barking at the wrong tree here...
What these women should do instead is find work because the money they do receive off their hair won’t last them in the long term. I could NEVER in a MILLION years do something like this, and my hair is halfway to my knees.
Im sure you dont live in a poor country also
Never In A Million years, MILLION DOLLAR BABY & Company....Fantastic! 💯
Good for you. Your hair type is not sought after anyway so... 🤷♂️
@@sunitafisher4758 she fails to realize how insensitive her comment was, she doesn’t live in a poor country and she knows that. Also hair takes 2-3 years to grow long those people don’t value hair as much as Americans may & even then they also know how fast hair grows back.
What an ignorant comment
thank you!
-black girl
Is that some type a face mask ?
I was wondering the same
The wig I got now was $250 shoutout to you girllll 🫶🏾♥️ I get alot of compliments. But on another note this is why it is so important to wash your your hair before wearing it!! Do not skip that step the hair is in numerous unsanitary places.
