Collected a few more samples and started to think about animal hair and then feathers as bird hair. Scanning some samples closer and larger in order to magnify and find visual similarities or differences. Just went and got a haircut- man was that overdue. Was talking to my hairdresser about this project and she divulged a fun fact about hair-hair that is straight has a rounded shaft - and hair that is curly has a flatter shaft.Like a ribbon when you slide it throught the scissors to make it spiral. Also learned from my dad who reads perpetually that some experts say( from the book Blace Rice) that it was black women who brought rice to america in the braids of their hair.
