Enjoyed reading this brilliant treatise. Now I know why I keep cool most times and don't sweat much; it's my thick wooly head cover!!

Arati- The way you tie (pun-intended) the ancestral heritage into the present hair-ific realities is beautiful. There’s a brilliance to seeing things in such a way. And I think more people should do so.

Love this! The way you weave together the science and poetry of human hair is captivating. It's amazing how something so seemingly simple can be so intricately tied to our identity and evolution!!
