It's True! Your Hair Is Dead

Why Hair? I grew up hating my hair, so it seems odd that I've written a book about it. But when the idea dropped into my mind, it set dozens of thoughts exploding in all directions. I thought about babies and barbers and balding, and before long I had dozens of questions. Did stone-age men shave? Why do we need eyelashes? Is it true that Egyptian queens wore beards? Does your hair really keep growing after you're dead? I spent a lot of time asking people questions, reading books and trawling the Internet. Hair turned up everywhere--in musicals, fairytales and old sayings, in books about inventions, on websites about crime-solving methods. Some discoveries made me laugh, some where disgusting, and some made my hair stand on end. Mostly the gave me a huge buzz. I hope you'll find the same.
