Gruagan 脪ir/Goldilocks

A' ceannach agus a' reic fuilt air feadh an t-saoghail. An investigation into the global trade in hair, which sees several tons cross the world each year.

Gach bliadhna, tha tunnaichean de dh' fhuilt air a thoirt a steach dhan Fhraing, leis a' mh貌r chuid a' tighinn 脿s nah-Innseachan, ach tha falt nas pr矛seil a' tighinn 脿 ceann a deas na h-Eadailt. Tha am falt seo a th' air a reic agus a cheannach iomadach uair a' tighinn tarsainn na Roinn E貌rpa agus a' d猫anamh t貌rr airgid airson an luchd-malairt.

Several tons of hair is imported to France each year, with the main supply coming from India. More precious types are imported from southern Italy. Bought and sold several times over, this hair finds its way across Europe, with considerable financial gain for the 'hair collectors'.
