I HATE disembodied hair as well. Especially if it’s a color not similar to mine, and long. Ugh. Freaks me out.

Is this a named phobia?

I wanted to destroy a barber once, back in the ’80s. He asked if I wanted my sideburns trimmed. Yes. So he started the clippers at the top of my ear!
Just because I lived in the ’80s didn’t mean I wanted to look like it.

Last year in our countries, about 10 people turned bald by using the same brand of shampoo. The name of the brand was H___A____er.

Be careful though…

Before I came along, my mother had gone to cosmetology school and cut hair for a living. This is very interesting to me as my mother is repulsed by the sight and feel of disembodied hair. I asked her if something horrible happened while she was a stylist to give rise to these feelings. No, she said. She’d always felt this way and thus it was the hardest job she’s ever had to do.

Mary Queen of Scots was absolutely not bald! At her execution, she did wear a wig but it was to cover up her short grey hair – as noted by sources at her execution.

Not sure if it’s a typo, but Potkul v. Brandy was in 1996, not 1966.

I thought Mary Queen of Scots had shaved her head on purpose to make a mockery of the beheading.

@Mike – I can only assume Karl Shaw did his research, but I don’t know. He doesn’t list sources in the back of the book.
