Cambodian Sweatshop for Hair

The Hairoine Presents: The Secret Life of Hair

In April 2009 I went to Southeast Asia on holiday and out of the blue I found a sweatshop for hair extensions!

very very educational and interesting. Kind of reminds me of something you would see on Discovery channel or something like it. It was purely unbiased in my opinion. You did not make any remarks or try to create a case in point to persuade or dissuade anyone or exploit a culture. You were being friendly and trying to be careful to make them feel comfortable by showing that you were interested in understanding. that is how I saw it.

Thank you. I really appreciate your comment.

you wrote: '...she is accustomed to high maintenance...I can see how someone born with a silver spoon can judge others'.

Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. You're accusing me of judging and yet you don't know the first thing about me or my background and are therefore making assumptions.

I tried to present this video as non-bias as possible but it's clear that this conditions are just not right. Why do you keep defending the working environment of these people?

Wow. Very interesting. You are just showing how it is. I hope that they are at least being paid enough to feed their families. It does seem like the company that is sponsoring this, can at the very least get them off of the floor. 12 hour days!!! This is way too long to be working in that type of set up. I don't feel like she is judging anyone. She is just showing what's what. CNN and 60 minutes talks about this type of thing all of the time.

Hello, can you tell me why people like Cambodian hair ? Is it just because it's cheap ? But it must be cheap in India or China also, right ?

@seun0203 :0 the temple people took advantage of girls who cut off their hair.That is so wrong=(.

Yeah i grew up with a lot of cambodians and they do deserve to be paid way more for what they do. 20 american dollars for human hair is such a low low price to us in europe and america but their in cambodia I knew that is a lot of money

[NoireBeaute]

@ EXgam3R: well this should not be the norm. The people of Cambodia deserve better working conditions and wages ( in my opinion)

[cherri7]

Cool.I never seen how it was done.
