The fact that his hair was sold as belonging to him personally doesn't strike me as being fundamentally different to what happens to any other customer, simply less anonymous.
Anonymity is exactly the difference though, if his hair had been sold anonymously for wigs he wouldn't have had a problem, but it went to a guy that specifically looks for celebrity hair samples, I don't know if the article mentioned the collector much but he has gone quite out of his way to get a very large collection, including Napoleon and IIRC Marilyn Monroe (the article I read through was on another forum that was discussing this topic).
