Hair

It was but curious tendrils of carotene springing from the dermis of another that elucidated high praise from the love-stricken king Solomon.  Though I suppose many of the fairer sex do consider hair one of their best features.  Yet, while some hair catches the attention of a potential suitor, other hair - most particularly those on a human arm - have individual micro-muscles attached to them to that activate upon the excitement or startled nature of their possessor.  There exists a multi-million dollar market particularly for men attempting to regrow hair atop their noggin.   An equally liquidated market exists for women attempting to remove hair in many localities that are not the top of the noggin.    It is not far fetched to gander that if one possesses red hair and lives on the American continents that one of their predecessors hailed from the island nation that the venerable St. Patrick evangelized; other similar deductions of heritage can be drawn from varying textures and colors of hair.   Hair also has spiritual significance.  Paul told the Corinthians that angels may even use hair length in assessing the gender of human compatriots and that long hair is a glory and a covering for women.   Charity and unity are compared by the Psalmist to oil running down the fibers attached to Aaron’s chin, that is to say, his beard.  Job shaved his hair to symbolize the deepest level of grief and pain.   If Isaiah’s prophecy holds fully true, the Roman guards ripped out the beard of the one who created beards of all varieties.
