Hair. Valued as long as it is alive. As long as it grows on the appropriate parts of the body. Desired as long as it has the right colour, texture, thickness, shape and length. As long as it is tamed. As long as it does not fall out. Unwanted if dead. It evokes unpleasant feelings, shame and even disgust. Except intentionally removed hair. The first cut lock of a child’s hair in a memory book. A strand of hair from an absent loved one in a locket. It becomes an object that transcends the material body. A memory with DNA. A talisman.
