As nobody wants to buy hair on is own, it seems to me you're just making craft checks to earn money with the small difference of no raw materials being necessary. That's a 50% increase in profit: not bad, but not as great as some of the tricks out there.

This assumes there's a market for wigs with real hair in D&D, of course.

Alright, Step 0: Create a disease that causes baldness.

I was almost certain this was the Doppelganger Bordello from Oglaf before I clicked through. New girls every hour!

That exists in Eberron.

Hmm ... that April Fools' article that gave "Chicken Infested" also gave "Weresheep." Weresheep is a humanoid (shapechanger), so it's eligible for Doppelganger's shapechange. So you've got an unlimited supply of wool as well.
