Hah. I got this on one of my mailing lists (Fezziwigs). Anyone in a position to help out?

I have recently discovered the making of Victorian braided hair jewelry. What I don't have is an inexpensive source for hair long enough to braid. I need pieces at least 6-8 inches long in order to have long enough stuff to do interesting things with. Human-hair wigs available at thrift stores aren't usually that long (I've been looking). And fake hair (available cheap, anywhere) doesn't have the texture to stay in place right (picture tying knots in mono-filament Nylon).

(here's the embarrassing part:) If any of you happened to be getting a serious haircut, and if you happened to have several-inch pieces of hair left over that you weren't using anymore, I would be greatly appreciative (I would even offer to do a trade for it). Any colour or degree of curly-ness is fine with me.

Anyone with hair to spare? I know a few of my friends recently lopped off their tresses and donated them to charity.
