?The Beverly Johnson-brand hair, black and shiny, reveals nothing of
its long journey from the head of the woman who shaved it off. The
brand is imported from China through ports in Los Angeles and New York
before it reaches warehouses in Conshohocken, Pa., says Peter
Knappenberger, general manager for Amekor Industries, which claims $25
million in annual sales from its hair brands, including the Beverly
Johnson line.?
?Officials at the company ? whose name derives from the nationalities
of its founders: ''American'' and ''Korean'' ? have said that while
their hair comes from a variety of sources, east Indian hair is the
standard for extensions.?

spokesperson is coming in on Nov. 18 to do a photo shoot for its
product catalog. Who can blame them? The spokesperson is supermodel
Beverly Johnson.?
