Can a person live without hair?

Answer 1

Hair is something that we can all live without. It serves very little useful purpose, yet, when it is lost, it can be devastating to us. Why? Because it is also part of our identity; it is part of what makes us different from other people; so, when hair is lost, that identity becomes lost. Whether dark, redhead or blond(e) - or scarlet or bright green if that is what we wish to do with it - our hair is making a statement about us in its style, color and length. This is why we are so distressed when the hair is lost.
