You should make it your goal to make money this year on your own terms. You can decide whether that’s a side hustle or full-time business you can do from home. Along with using your head, you can use your hair.
If you have long luxurious strands, short curly locks or something in between, you may be able to earn extra cash by selling your hair. You can sell your hair online and locally by taking just a few steps.
This article is going to show you how and where to sell your hair online.
What Are Hair Buyers Looking For?
If you want to expand your hairselling operation, the best way to do that is to offer a variety of types of hair. Here are two things hair buyers are looking for:
10 inch Hair
Many buyers want different hair types, from something that looks like virgin Remy to Indonesian, but the length they need is usually the same. Buyers want hair that is at least 10-12 inches long.
Thick Textures
They also are interested in thickness, which is measured in inches. The thicker the hair, the higher quality it is considered to be. Buyers are not interested in stringy hair that sheds easily.
Now that you know what they’re looking for, let’s get into the money:
How To Make Money Selling Hair
All of the websites we list to sell your hair subscribe to similar best practices. For the most success in selling hair, make sure you:
- Take good photos and plenty of them
- Show photos up close and far away to capture the length and texture of your hair
- Disclose if you are a smoker or have a pet
Once you’ve taken your photos, you’re ready to begin selling hair. Here are some of the best ways to make money selling your hair:
Hairsellon
At HairSellon.com, you can make as much as $700 selling your hair. This hairselling marketplace even has a Hair Calculator Tool to help you see how much money you can make from your locks.
HairWork
HairWork.com only sells what they call “craft-quality” hair, which can be used on bows and such. Price and shipping cost depends on length, color and weight. Prices may change.
Buy And Sell Hair
At BuyAndSellHair.com, you can run ads that sell your hair for you. This is one of the most effective advertising platforms for selling hair.
If you become a verified buyer, you chances of selling on BuyAndSellHair.com increase quite a bit.
Just Sell My Hair
If you go to JustSellMyHair.com, you can post a listing to sell your hair as well. There’s also a Hair Calculator so you can see what your locks are likely to fetch.
Online Hair Affair
OnlineHairAffair.com is a great resource that allows you to buy and sell your hair across the United States.
If you’re interested in donating your hair, you may be wondering what length your hair needs.
Becoming a salesperson may be a bit much for you. You may be wondering if you can sell your hair for wigs.
How To Sell Your Hair For Wigs
A lot of people may not know it, but you can sell your hair directly to companies that make wigs. Here are some companies that buy hair to manufacture wigs.
How Long Does Hair Have To Be To Sell It?
Many wig companies require different lengths of hair before they buy it. The company will list the requirements on their respective websites.
As we mentioned above, if you have hair around 10 inches long, you will have no problem selling it. If it’s shorter than that, you will have fewer people interested in purchasing the hair piece.
Conclusion
You can make some good money selling hair if you’re committed to it. On the other hand, if you just want to make some extra cash, selling hair will allow you to do that, too.
The beautiful thing about selling hair is that it grows back, so you can resell it as many times as you like.

Many airlines have strict rules on how passengers should conduct themselves. Delta Air Lines is no different. What are some things that can get you kicked off a flight? This article will show you.
The company made headlines some time ago when a woman was kicked off a flight because she somehow managed to board without a ticket. But you don’t have to be that egregious to get the boot off a Delta plane.
Like all carriers, the Atlanta-based airline has what is called a “Contract of Carriage,” These terms basically spell out what is and is not permissible on a Delta flight.
If you’re flying out of Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and want to know the rules so that you don’t break them, here are some things you will get kicked off a Delta flight for:
You Can Get Kicked Off A Flight For Doing These Things
Delta may refuse to transport or may remove passengers from its aircraft in
any of the following situations:1. Fighting
Anna Shvets / Pexels If you insist on wanting to fight a fellow passenger or crew member, for the safety of yourself and others, you will be kicked off the flight.
2. Being Disorderly
If you insist on raising a ruckus, especially if you’re drunk Delta says you have to go.
This is how the airline’s rules phrase it: “When the passenger’s conduct is disorderly, abusive or violent, or the passenger appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.”
3. Boarding Barefoot
Photo credit: PIxabay Delta allows you to take your shoes off once you’re in your seat, but don’t think you can board barefoot. The airline is strict about prohibiting barefoot passengers (accept babies).
4. Messing With The Crew
Photo credit: VH1 You will promptly be told to sit down and perhaps have to wrestle with an air marshal if you interfere with the flight crew’s activities.
You can be kicked off also for failing “to obey the instruction of any member of the flight crew.”
5. If You’re Contagious
Photo credit: Andrea Piacquadio If you’re not feeling well you should think twice about flying. Delta says if you have a contagious disease that may be transmissible (the flu, a virus, anything), you could get booted off the flight.
Of course, with COVID-19, this is of utmost importance right now. That’s why Delta and other airlines ask you questions now.
6. If You Can’t Buckle Up
Photo credit: Kelly Lacy / Pexels There may be a very good reason why you can’t fasten your seatbelt on the flight, but Delta is not trying to hear it. That’s why the flight attendant visually checks for unfastened seatbelts upon takeoff.
If your seatbelt doesn’t work, they have an obligation to reseat. If your weight is causing you not to be able to buckle up, you may have to get off.
7. Acting Crazy
Photo credit: Bravo TV Delta says they can remove you from a flight, “When the passenger’s behavior may be hazardous or creates a risk of harm to himself/herself, the crew, or other passengers or to the Carrier’s aircraft and/or property, or the property of other passengers.”
8. If You’re Really Sick
Photo credit: CottonBro If you are so sick that you are in danger of losing consciousness or it’s no longer safe, you may be taken off the flight.
The exception is “unless the passenger provides a physician’s written permission to fly.”
9. If You Stink
Photo credit: Peanuts Perhaps you stayed up all night or stopped by the gym before boarding, whatever the case, you can’t get on a Delta flight all funky.
Delta says you could be asked to step off the plane “When the passenger’s conduct, attire, hygiene or odor creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance to other passengers.”
How To Stay On A Delta Flight
If you feel that you’re being wrongly removed, Delta lists a number of recourses for the passengers, including this one:
G) Recourse of Passenger
“Passengers shall not engage in any conduct that would authorize Delta to refuse transport under
this Rule. The sole recourse of any passenger refused carriage or removed for any reason
specified in this Rule shall be recovery of the refund value of the unused portion of his or her ticket.”Read Delta’s complete Contract of Carriage here.
Over the past 20 or so years, Atlanta has become even more of a tourist destination.
Once you get your passport, you should be ready for your trip. Make sure you have found the cheapest flights from Atlanta that are on sale.To Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from.

For the New Year’s holiday, thousands of travelers will drive or fly the skies to their favorite places. Hopefully you’ve already booked your ticket for travel during the holidays.
This article will show you how to save money on travel for new year if you’re an apprehensive traveler. Here’s what you need to know about flying this holiday season.
New Year Travel: How To Save Money And More
For the winter, there have been some good sales, especially with Southwest Airlines, so you can save money if you want to. The real issue is whether you’re ready to risk it all to fly to a vacation destination or home for the holidays.
If you want to know what safety measures airlines have put in place, here’s what to know:
Typically, you may be asked to quarantine from 10 to 14 days, so you’d better have some vacation days to spare.
How To Save On Holiday Travel
Let’s talk about some ways you can save on holiday travel. Always check Southwest’s Fare Calendar for days with cheaper prices. If you’re traveling abroad, I love Scott’s Cheap Flights as well. Also…
1. Be Flexible With Your Travel Dates
The Sunday after a holiday weekend is always the most expensive day to travel. Make sure you remain flexible so that you can book the cheapest travel days, which are typically a few days earlier or later than the weekend.
The cheapest days to buy travel is typically a couple days before a holiday — except when those days happen to fall on any of the three weekend days. So that means buying on Tuesday through Thursday is typically your best bet.
Read about the best days to book a flight.
2. Pack One Bag Only
If you want to save money, always only take one travel bag with you. Most airlines charge between $30 to $40 for a carryon bag. That’s up to $80 coming and going.
For example, Delta Air Lines charges $40 for a second checked bag.
Even if you have to wear the same thing for a day, it’s worth it to save on baggage fees.
3. Look For Travel Bundles

Travel sites like Priceline and Orbitz has deals galore on trip bundles that include flights and hotel itineraries.
