Cash-strapped Spaniards are pulling their hair out over the economic crisis - literally. Faced with the country's deep recession and soaring unemployment, many women are selling their locks to pay the bills.
And Justino Delgado, who exports natural hair for wigs and extensions, couldn't be happier.
In the past months women have been showing up at his warehouse near Madrid in growing numbers.
"A lot of women come to sell their hair. Just this morning a young woman with a ponytail came in and we bought it from her," he said. "Some women have a lot of hair, and as the price depends on the length and the weight, they can get well paid for it. It's worth between &Euro;50 (R560) and &Euro;150." - Sapa-AFP
