    Default Woman Weaves Entire Wardrobe out of Own Hair

    Oh yes indeedy.


    A WOMAN has woven an entire wardrobe of clothes out of her own hair, after growing it for more than 50 years.

    Ioana Cioanca, 71, has created everything from a hat to a skirt from her 40-inch-long tresses.

    She told the Austrian Times: “I have nine items – a hat, a shawl, a skirt, a blouse, a raincoat, a purse, a handbag and a pair of gloves.

    “They are all slightly different colours because of course I went grey over the years.”

    The 71-year-old from Bistrita Nasaud, Romania, added: “I did this because I wanted to show how practical human hair is.

    "The clothes are warm and comfortable – and the materials are free.”

    That's really neat. A bit weird but neat too.

    I wonder if she only used shed hair or if she cut her hair short after so many years?

    A Swedish woman, who also makes jewelry out of hair, made underwear from her own hair:

    I do like the jewelry but the clothes, especially the underwear, creeps me out a bit.
