WhiteRussian Hair

WhiteRussian Hair is a relatively new entrant on the growing Russian hair market, but is already working with top salons and wig manufacturers in the UK, Australia, USA and elsewhere. We source high-quality, virgin hair from various ethical suppliers in the Ukraine & Russia, and ship worldwide by Fedex. Our best hair is a silky, virgin dark blond, called Svetly Rus in Russian, translated as White Russian, which explains our name. The hair is the highest quality on the market, lasts the longest, and can be colored without losing its cuticle strength or consistency. High-quality Russian hair like the one we supply is known as the Rolls Royce of hair among hair extension artists. However, we do also supply colored hair, double-drawn hair, kertain-bonded hair extensions, and high-quality wefts. Click here for more information.

WHY IS RUSSIAN HAIR THE BEST

Because it is. If you’re on this site, you realise that Russian hair is far superior for fair-haired women than Indian or Chinese hair, which is heavier and doesn’t fit with their natural hair. While perfect for those with thick Asian Hair, heavily-dyed Remi hair isn’t made for blondes and others with light-colored hair. Asian hair loses its strength and vitality when bleached and falls off within six months. Virgin Russian Hair

• Strong, silky, smooth & soft
• Can be easily dyed to any color
• Can be re-used and lasts for upto 2 years
• Blends in with natural hair and doesn’t feel instrusive

RUSSIAN HAIR IS – CONTRARY TO THE PERCEIVED WISDOM – MORE ETHICAL THAN INDIAN HAIR!

It seems to be received wisdom in the West that Russian hair is exploitative in nature, and should be boycotted by politically progressive women. This negative perception of Russian hair is based on a few recent tabloid stories in the UK which claimed that young girls in poverty-stricken regions of Russia were being coerced into shaving their heads by rapacious hair traders; or worse, paid as little as ten pounds! Wrong. The truth is that Russian hair is an open market like any other, similar to American hair trading sites like www.tohair.com and www.thehairtrader.com where women sell their hair to the highest bidder. Hair traders similarly post signs across Russia and the Ukraine, and girls willing sell their locks for as much as $100-300. The hair trade actually helps funnel money into the former Soviet Union’s impoverished regions.

Indian hair, by contrast, is temple hair that was donated to the Gods during religious sacrifices. Indian women shave their heads as a tribute to the Gods, when their prayers have been answered. It’s common for women to donate their hair after a birth of a son, the recovery of an ailing relative and so on .. The shaving is a highly-sacred ritual that is accompanied by prayers and officiated by priests. When a woman donates her hair to God, she little realises that it will be later sold, bleached blond and end up on the head of a materialistic Western Blond. As India becomes more educated and assertive, this unholy trade in sacred hair is bound to create a firestorm and turn into a political issue. It is only a matter of time.
