If someone is believed to go to a hairdresser to get a haircut, watch it falls and think that no longer good for anything, you are sadly mistaken. The leader of the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, must to know more about this.  A lock of his hair, cut for 50 years, has been purchased for the amount of $ 6,000, double the starting price, according to the London auction house Bonhams .

According to the website of the British newspaper The Guardian, the hair tress of Jagger was sold by the former girlfriend of singer, Chrissie Shrimpton, who met him when he was a complete stranger to the world of music, and a student at London University London School of Economics, no less than 50 years ago, quite a young man. Although he had not to be a good student, he never finished the college. But his hair was more leafy than it is today.

As if this story is not entirely clear, explain that the hair tress of Mick Jagger, kept it Shrimptson's grandmother without Jagger or his girlfriend knew nothing about this. Only until her death, this unique object is discovered in her home. It was when the hair tress passed to Chrissie Shrimpton's aunt who returned it to its first owner.

Now, 50 years and $ 6,000 later, this hair tress of Mick Jagger has gone into the hands of a stranger. So he knows that it is authentic, or at least that the stranger buyer creates it, he will receive it in a paper with the message "Mick Jagger's hair after being washed and cut by Chris at Rose Hill Farm". Every detail. The money raised will be to raise money for Changing Faces, a charity that works with people who have suffered facial disfigurement.

In case anyone has thought auction a hair tress without being famous, I remember that a hair tress of Ketih Richards, was auctioned for $ 1,300. However, in this regard, the King of Rock, Elvis Presley, is also the King of more expensive auctioned hair so far, in 2010 a hair tress was sold for $ 15,000.
