Hello listers, Several years ago, I started a family "hairloom" I collected snips of hair from family members and pets and mounted them in a scrapbook. It is nice to have something very personal belonging to someone who has since passed away. Also, think of the DNA potential, or is part of the hair root needed for that?

Homework: Must watch more CSI :-) hair strands on their own will give colour and species and maybe indications of lifestyle. For DNA, you need the follicle i.e. the root. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
