Do you collect your shed hair????

It doesn't look like an unreasonable amount, but I've never collected my sheds to compare. The vacuum seems to do enough of that as is!

If that's a whole month - it's not a lot. It's about what I shed in a month, I reckon. I think I shed about quarts of what you have there weekly, with my post-wash and pre-wash detangling session.

Yep I collect shed hair! I have made a donut and a couple of rats with the sheddings, and when I was younger I made small pincurl sized pieces that I plaited into my hair (still on my head) if this makes sense.

I feel a refreshed vigour starting....

Sorry, I would rather not look how much hair I lose...I would feel sad.

I feel if I tried to collect my shed hairs, I'd end up with more dust than hair!!!

Seriously, my hairbrush is filled with it no matter how many times I clean it. Gah!

I do...I'm collecting them for a sculpture. We'll see how that goes. I have half of a knee-jerk disgusted reaction, and half weird fascination with sheds, especially seeing a lot of them.

Maybe I should have put a trigger warning on the post! Hahaha

This just grosses me out, so, definitely NOT my thing!

I had the idea of collecting my hair but i never did it yet because...well, i'm trying to reduce my addiction of keeping things. I keep a lot of things (i have a huge collection of photograph, old magazines, objects, books, postcards, old clothes...). Keeping my sheds is not possible right now even if it'd take only a little space in my mess. I'm trying very hard to clean my little house and the feeling of begining a new collection makes me sick right now.
But i would love to make hair pieces of art like in the victorian era: http://mitziscollectibles.typepad.co...33e8970b-800wi
so maybe one day...i will have my own ziplock bags full of sheds

Shed hair makes me feel uncomfortable too, so no... Not cut hair, but shedded... I think it's a mixture of me thinking "how much dust is captured there" and old shedding periods that made me quite sad. :S

Do you wash your collected hair, by the by? And where do you collect it from? I'm thinking clean brushes and not the floor and shower drain.

I have eczema and thus there'll be tons of dust in my brushes, so I personally can't keep them clean for long, even if I try... x_x'
