Hair Thieves

Hello, Karstuhl here!

Humans are strange in a lot of ways, but especially when it comes to hair. They cannot accept the natural length of their hair. I suppose this is mainly because human hair does not grow to a certain length and then fall of, but - like Poodle coat - just grows and grows. Humans are also rather unique among land living mammals in that they do not have hair everywhere on their body. All of this must make for a strange relationship to hair. Shiba Inus, like most dogs, just shed our coats a few times a year, and that is that. Humans cut their hair, shave some of it off, or even add more hair with hair extensions. The recent hair extension fashion in the USA has led to a new form of thievery: people who steal hair extensions. Due to the high demand, hair extensions are expensive, so the thievery can be lucrative business.

If humans would not have such a strange view on the subject of hair, hair extensions would be worth almost nothing and you would not have this form of criminal behaviour. It is not like humans need the hair for human shows to prove their conformity to a breed standard. Even if they had these shows, and tried this with extensions, they would be disqualified for cheating. This is why I cannot understand the use of human hair extensions. I guess the humans who do use them can justify it, though, which is all that is needed, of course.
