A Letter to the Editor: Against the Article

Dear Editor of the Courier Mail,

Excuse me, but it has come to my attention the wrong message that you have portrayed in your article “The Real Cost of Posh’s Locks”. This article has sent a message saying that Indian ladies are subjected to ill treatment and get there hair sold without them knowing. Just to make it clear, these ladies wouldn’t “wait patiently in line”, if they were being mistreated, would they? The answer is no, they wouldn’t. They are perfectly willing to have their heads shaved and they do so for religious purposes.
That brings me to my second point, yes their hair is sold and yes they aren’t notified of it. However the temple is just trying to raise money to keep it clean and well kept so future Indian generations can benefit from it. Also if it’s not sold then it would just be thrown out, these devoted religious women wouldn’t want that. The article even states that “Beauty comes at a price”, it’s not like the hair is sold on for cheap, and the hair is sold for thousands of dollars and is very popular with the A-listers. This then turns profits for top hair salons, and if it wasn’t for the Indian women’s hair, a lot of business would be affected. Thank you for reading my letter and I hope you have taken onboard my option.

Kind Regards,
Miranda

A Letter to the Editor: Agreeing With the Article

Dear Editor in Chief,

I read the Courier Mail’s article titled “The Real Cost of Posh’s Locks”, I strongly agree with this article. Beauty shouldn’t come at such a price, Indian ladies shouldn’t have to wait “… in line on the cold stone floor of a temple in India to have their hair shaved off with a dry razor…” This is partly due to their religion, and I understand that however “not a cent is awarded to the women”; this is dishonest and wrong. The money might be used for a good cause like restoring a temple, but it should be done honestly with the consent of these ladies. The ladies that participate in this religious ceremony are normally very poor and the profit of there hair could mean not worrying about having food on the table for a month or having access to clean drinking water. I’m shore this article bought to people’s attention the injustice of what’s happening in the hair extension business.

Kind Regards,
Miranda
