How much is Morrissey's hair worth? The Smiths singer went to a barber's shop in Dallas last week – and was spotted scooping up his hair trimmings and taking them away. It's not as strange as it sounds – there's clearly a market for pop star locks:
$1m: asking price for Britney Spears's hair after it was shorn off in 2007 (eBay deleted the listing)
$115,120: amount paid for a jar of locks of Elvis's hair in 2002
£24,000: winning bid in 2007 for a signed book containing some of John Lennon's hair
$40,668: amount raised by Justin Bieber's hair in a charity auction this year.
