It's hairy

Focused on in many cultures as an indicator of massive sex appeal, hair has long been a strictly observed and controlled part of the anatomy. Often covered and sometimes shaved, hair is attributed with the ability to promote or reduce Samsonesque qualities in most, and is thus shackled. In some cultures hair is a fashion item. You can buy it separately in shops, colour it, shape it, mould it, curl it, straighten it, grease it, wax it, gel it, spray it, cover it or just ignore it. It is often the means by which new acquaintances assess your character, and is often integral in the success or failure of new relationships.
