A Guide to Selling Your Hair

If you are ready to learn how to profit from your hair, you’re in the right place! This simple guide to selling your hair will explain the steps to creating a great ad.

1 – You’ll first need to register with our site. It is recommended to create a separate email from your personal email to help with privacy. Be aware that any prospective buyers will be able to see this email.

2 – Make sure that any cut hair that you’re selling is kept in a neat ponytail or a braid. If you haven’t yet cut your hair, make sure that your ad states exactly how much you’ll be cutting. If you aren’t sure how to cut your hair, visit our virtual makeover tool. This tool will help give you ideas for haircuts.

3- You will need to take a few accurate pictures of your hair. This means that the color of your hair in the pictures is what it looks like in real life, and be sure that the pictures are clear. To help the natural hair color show properly take your pictures in natural lighting. Another helpful tip is to hold up a tape measure so those interested in purchasing your hair can see its real length.

4 – If you are ready to start advertising your hair, go to the ‘Post Your Ad” button to begin. Remember that you need to be 100% honest in your ad. Be truthful about the quality, if you smoke, etc. Remember that the people who are buying your hair will easily be able to determine any damage once it is seen in person.

5 – When you post your ad you’ll have the option to include a price. If you are already sure of the price you’d like to sell your hair for, go ahead and include it. If you are unsure how much you should sell your hair for leave this blank. Any prospective buyers will give you their own offers. Did you know that prices for hair can be anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars worth?

6 – If you have been sent a reasonable offer and you’ve decided to sell to a certain buyer, you’ll need to discuss how you’d like to be paid with them. Along with payment, you’ll also need to discuss how to ship the hair. Paypal is recommended for anyone who is receiving payments. Do not send your hair until payment has been received in full. Be aware that there may be fraudsters on this website that will attempt to convince you to send the hair while their payment is still “pending”. Ignore any suspicious emails to be safe. Visit our “Hair Scam Page” for more information on how to stay safe.

7 – After you have received payment, you will need to send your hair to the buyer. Make sure you only ship your hair in the agreed shipment method. Some hair buyers may want to meet in person. Though this is not recommended, if you chose to do this please keep your own safety precautions in mind.

8 – Congratulations on completing your first successful attempt in selling your hair! We hope that you enjoyed the experience and are now sitting on a handsome new profit. After you have sold your hair, please visit your personal dashboard to mark “sold” on your ads. All you have to do now is be patient, grow your hair back and sell through HairClassifieds.com again!
