The US hair salon where pop star Britney Spears shaved her head has apparently set up a website to auction her locks for more than $1m (£512,500).Spears had the drastic cut at Esther's Hair Studio in California on Friday.
The website, buybritneyshair.com, claims to have been set up by salon owner Esther Tognozzi.
It includes photos of the hair, saying it is "absolutely authentic". Meanwhile, Spears has been spotted in Hollywood sporting a short blonde wig.
...The salon's website offers bidders an "opportunity of a lifetime" and says a portion of the proceeds will be donated to various unnamed charities.
As well as the hair, the winning bidder will also get the hair clippers Spears used, a blue lighter she left at the salon and the can of Red Bull she was drinking at the time.
The site adds that the successful bidder can pick up the hair from Esther's Hair Studio in Tarzana, California.
Salon co-owner JT Tognozzi said: "We still don't know why Britney chose our shop. We'll probably never know."
I bet this is how Our Lady of Lourdes started. "We don't know why the Virgin picked us..." "We don't know why Pius X's body never decayed (except maybe for the fact that it was embalmed)..."
On Tuesday morning there were scores of supposed locks of Spears' hair for sale on eBay - including some located in the UK and Germany.
"It's pretty crazy all the frauds and stuff that's out there," Mr Tognozzi said. "They're not even in our state."
It's the freaking True Cross!
Pay attention, children. You are living through history. Years from now when this "studio" is a shrine to Our Lady of Tarzana and pictures of "the Holy Locks" are handed out at Brit-mitzvahs, you'll be able to tell your grandkids you were there when it all started.
