    Well that makes it easier to wash her hair in the sink I guess.

    But also, hear me out, what if instead of that plastic thing she had a quick release hook, so she could use the tail (and the hook) for self defence? Hell, make the tail of braided leather and you got a cool whip for impromptu BSDM session!

    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

      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?

              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.

            I’d guess both are made of cells with lots of keratin in them, though i am making this up as i go.

    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.

        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’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.

    I’m going to tell myself it’s something really cool like anodized titanium and not just plastic.
