Who knew that there is a bustling market of selling hair online. If you take a look at the site – Hair Classifieds, Sell Your Hair & Hair Products you’ll see that people are asking good money for the hair on their heads. I wish I had this site back when I went from hippy to normal hair cut.

I’m interested in selling my daughter’s extremely long hair. She has approximately 15-16″ of hair she can spare. It is dark brown in color, with reddish highlights. It has never been colored. She is very young but had been blessed with tons and tons of hair that has grown very quickly.

I don’t know the weight but I will assume a heavy weight.

If you are truly interested, I can send photos. You would be amazed to know her age!! She comes from a family with very thick, full hair.

I am looking to buy long hair- any color, please mail photos and info and how much you are wanting to vanessa_9946@hotmail.com.

Kit June 10, 2008 at 8:29 pm

thehairtrader is the best place if you want to sell hair- or even purchase. It does work. I sold my hair with them and i made good money. I did donate most of the money to a couple different causes, so they made that possible for me to do that. Hats off- well, literally to them, bc they didn’t even charge me.

shannon welsh September 27, 2008 at 7:45 am

I have about 12 inches of hair I would like to sell. How much would that be worth? Do I need to send a picture to you? How would I be sure to get the money, once I cut my hair?

Jess October 17, 2008 at 7:11 pm

I would like to be able to sell 7-9 inches of my thick brown hair. how do I go about doing this since I dont want to cut it off too early before it could be sold to someone who needs it. and how can I be sure I would get paid for my hair?

Ryan October 20, 2008 at 3:45 pm

I’m not sure what the value is. I don’t work for them, but I did find the business idea very interesting. I would send your questions directly to the staff via their contact us page. I looked around for a direct email address and couldn’t find one so you’ll have to use the form on the page. Best of luck.

My hair is about 16 inches long, salt and pepper brown, naturally curly. No additives or dyes, no treatment. How much is it worth?

shari Babcock May 4, 2009 at 8:21 am

kat May 13, 2009 at 3:00 pm

I am trying to sell my hair to donate the money to the American Cancer Society. I listed it on The Hair Trader. I am having a hard time putting my pictures on the ad, much less finding it or editing it. I need to sell it by June 2nd 09 for the Relay for Life.
Any help would be appreciated.

Nikki909 June 15, 2009 at 8:58 pm

You can also sell your hair at http://www.OnlineHairAffair.com Both sites are worth checking out and free to list your hair for sale on.

Lee June 1, 2010 at 8:07 am

Bad experience,most buyers are scammers trying to rip you off with fake cheques.

Randy June 3, 2010 at 4:39 pm

I have bought several hair pieces from ladies who have adverstised on hairtrader because they get outrageous offers for their hair but when it comes time to pay the buyers dissappear. No one is going to pay several hundred dollars for 10-12 inches of hair. We do pay a fair price as we are an Inc. company and use the hair to make extensions, and you can be sure your hair will be used in a respectful way. You can contact randy at hair_stiler@yahoo.com

I’m selling 20 inches of my beautiful straight brunette hair, if you are a serious buyer, and need something fast, I’m only accepting cash offers. So if you are serious you can contact me via e-mail at MomThree1985@aol.com, thank- you.

Cathy August 16, 2010 at 3:38 am

I have a 10 inch braid of my hair that I am trying to sell. Where can I do this? The hair trader was recommended but their website is temporarily unavailable. Any suggestions would greatly help.

Nicole August 18, 2010 at 10:43 am

The hair trader does work. I sold my 18 inches of my hair 3 years ago for about $1000. In fact the picture up at the top, brown hair, green shirt is me lol. I was surprised to find this blog and see that they had my pic up…it was weird lol and my husband didnt believe that was me. and P.S, I am getting ready to see again, about 16 inches. So email me if interested.

Nicole August 18, 2010 at 10:44 am

sorry, Sell* again, not see lol

Erin McCarthy September 9, 2010 at 2:06 pm

I’m trying to find out how to go about selling my hair. Desperate for money, just not sure how to go about it.

Ryan Lane September 14, 2010 at 9:44 am

I would point you to here: http://thehairtrader.com/ but it seems to be offline right now.

longhf September 15, 2010 at 11:16 pm

Hey Nicole!
Wow its really funny that you found yourself in a blog about the hairtrader!!
Could you give me your email adress, I’m really interested about your 16inches of hair and your plan to cut it!
Thanks a lot :)
Phil

Dave F September 26, 2010 at 2:09 pm

UK ladies,
If you have long hair and willing to let me cut it please let me know. Email:daveonfilms@hotmail.com for a price. Cash paid and I don’t expect you to go bald or have a buzz cut. Serious / reliable sellers only please. As mentioned earlier there are scammers out there especially abroad. I am not one of them!

ashis das September 27, 2010 at 3:54 pm

katie October 9, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Clearly there is still a market for hair, but what happened to thehairtrader.com? I’ve been checking regularly to see if the site is back up and it never is. Like some of these people I have hair – 20+ inches of red hair to sell, that I’ve been growing for this purpose and now the site is gone!?!? What the heck?

Dave F October 10, 2010 at 5:11 pm

UK Ladies,
If you are ready to cut your hair and are willing to let me cut your hair drop me a line at daveonfilms@hotmail.com. I am geniune and reliable.
You keep your hair to sell on if you want and I will pay you well and in cash for cutting your hair.
Dave

Rob October 18, 2010 at 4:35 pm

To Dave F. – Why would you pay someone for you to cut their hair if you are not keeping their hair?

Lacey October 19, 2010 at 10:23 am

I am ready to cut my hair so if anyone is interested in buying it you can email me at luckylace_3@hotmail.com. It is long and dark brown healthy hair! It will be around 10 to 12 inches if I cut it know or I can wait if someone would like it longer.

Dave F October 28, 2010 at 5:56 pm

To Rob,
Because I enjoy cutting hair. I have never had any complaints, actually the opposite or pleasant surprise with the results and how easy it is to make some money from losing some of your hair. I make it safe and enjoyable for those ladies who do it. I have never kept the hair as the owner can always sell it on ( if there is enough) and make some extra cash . I hope that answers your question Rob.

Amber November 5, 2010 at 9:24 am

I would really like to sell my hair to be able to pay for my christmas this year I have 10 inches to sell. My hair is brown and redish and there are blonde highlights naturally from the sun.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share some info if you’re looking to sell your hair. I have my hair for sale on http://www.OnlineHairAffair.com I tried The Hair Trader but they have been down for a few months. I would recommend trying Online Hair Affair. Its free and people bid on your hair.

I have about 2 feet of light red strawberry blonde hair. never used any kind of hair product, hair dryers, irons or anything like that. girls have always wanted to touch it and play with, braid and stuff. “its so soft! guys always have the nicest hair cuz they never use hair products…” comments all day long from random people, especially from old women, how beautiful my hair is. women like it, ive been taking care of it in order to sell it, very soft fine hair, im told its a very desirable and beautiful color at least a million times these past years… at least
