Would You Sell Your Locs?

General
By Jocelyn Reneé

We live in a very instantaneous society— if you want long hair you can go to the store and buy a weave; similarly, if you want long locs, you can get faux locs. Pretty much anything you can think of, if you want it, you can order it online, but if it takes longer than 2 days to arrive at your doorstep it’s the end of the world. With that mindset, naturally, commodities in the hair industry are created, one of which is the demand for locs— real cultivated locs.

Would you sell your locs for $4,000? - CURLYNUGROWTH.com

Did you even know there was a market for selling your locs?! If you didn’t, trust me it’s real— take a look a Rapper Fetty Wap who paid about $4,000 for 40 locs that a woman cut out of her head.

So, my question to you is:

Would you sell your locs? And if so, for how much?

My son cut his locs after about 5 years of growth. The locs are neat and clean. How would I go about selling them online?

I have heard about donating hair for cancer survivors but I never thought about selling locs especially given the instantaneous micro and larger loc options that are out there. To answer your question, if I were tired of my length I may sell them and likely for less than a grand.
