OK then, I'll keep an open mind (try not to be thinking of the stuff I clean out of the bathtub drain) and give the lady's Hair Museum a whirl. Her whole house is supposed to be full of hair jewelry.
SES, ...hair painting??? Is that like a yarn painting only with hair?
They would get snips of different colors and create pictures by twisting and curling the hair into patterns usually flowers. My mom has one of the paintings.
Hair jewelry has been around forever. It was used as an expression of remembrance, mourning, friendship and love. People carry a lock of a loved ones hair in a locket along with the person's photo for sentimental reasons.
Some of it is beautiful. The hair was woven into really intricate designs.
found this site about it:

Remember the story Samson and Delilah?
