To be fair it kinda looks cool. Though it does reminds me of a door knocker.

For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I'm going to tell myself it's something really cool like anodized titanium and not just plastic.
For when you want to have a ponytail that you can disconnect and hook your keys onto your head.
...
I'll allow it.
I'm pretty sure that's someone else's hair (the color and texture don't quite match) but I don't care. That's amazing and genius.
Now you can cut your hair and keep it too!
I wonder if you'd have to wash it? I guess it's no different than however people with wigs take care of them.
It's got the benefits of having extensions, but without the benefit of an awkward surprise when somebody tries to run their hands through your hair when making out.
I don’t know if it’s real or not but I love it
I think that’s Anya Taylor-Joy in a gala event.
Wireless hair
Neat style, I also think its really neat how the shadow falls on her neck. The silhouette is just slightly not the same as the shape, and it looks pretty cool.
I don't know why it bothers me that it's "dead" hair, because effectively nothing has changed. It's like a pseudo wig that isn't trying to hide anything, which is super cool
Hairs are never "alive" in the first place. The follicle is.
That's why they used the quotes and said that nothing effectively changed.
The moment your hair cells leave the pores on the skin of your head, they die. Thud all hair is dead.
The moment your hair cells leave the pores on the skin of your head
Even before that. You pull a hair out, and if that specific hair follicle was still growing you should see a teeny-tiny bulb at the very end. That bulb can be up to a mm beneath the skin. The widest part of that bulb is where the hair cells begin dying and drying out. By the time it shrinks down to the width of the rest of the hair (and long before it emerges from the pore), all the cells in that section are dead. Only the base of the bulb has living, growing hair cells.
Wait, I thought hair was made of keratin like nails. It's made of cells?
I'd guess both are made of cells with lots of keratin in them, though i am making this up as i go.
Are you implying that your fingernails were never cells of your body? How does that work?
Well I'll have to look it up now, but I see it as a substance produced by the body that isn't made of cells itself. Like any of the other excretions and things the body makes.
Edit: apparently both your nails and hair are mostly made of keratin, but keratin isn't produced and excreted to produce the nail and hair structures like a playdough factory like I imagined. Special cells are produced that are primarily keratin and they are added to like a chain and die/harden as they are pushed out from the body.
Damn, well that is interesting
That is absolutely fascinating. I had the same assumption.
Gross!!!
Guys, should we tell him about skin?
You mean the one where your skin cells get replaced every month or so?
Or the fact that the entire couple outer layers are dead cells
When you decide to donate to locks-for-love but realize to late it was your lucky ponytail.
