Article scope
[edit]What is this article actually about? It has: 1) content about the anatomy and physiology of hairs (hair follicles and all the rest), 2) a bit of content on the function of hair assemblages in mammals, and then 3) a lot of content on the practical and cultural aspects of that stuff humans have on their heads. Combining #1 and #2 in a single article makes sense (though why is that content also present in Fur?). But joining #1 with #3? The only justification I can see is the fact that both are referred to by the same English word, and that's as lousy a justification as it can get. – Uanfala (talk) 11:09, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Add section on hearing
[edit]It's crazy that there isn't even a link to hair cells or any discussion of hair's role in hearing. Dgisser (talk) 05:10, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Fia hairtype system
[edit]"Fia" isn't an acronym, it's the user ID of Annsofie Henriksen (sp?) at Long Hair Community, and should not be written in all caps. phma (talk) 10:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- @PierreAbbat: Interesting that you mentioned that; I recently discovered the existence of the hair type system you are referring to, and am almost surprised Wikipedia does not have more information about it. In fact, I looked around the internet for a bit, and could not find any information about either an official website about the subject or reliable information about the subject's origin. Apparently, you are the best source thus far I could find which may know where to find such information. Do you have a lead regarding a web source where the subject could be verified? (Honestly, the subject may be notable enough for its own article; at the present time, all I could do was create a redirect that targets the respective section on this article.)
