Yes. "Hair was also a precious material, due to the fact that it expands and contracts uniformly, no matter what the humidity of the air. Human hair was often used in delayed action bombs, where its particular qualities made it highly useful for detonating purposes." Deceased heads were shaved after the gas chambers, while in the crematorium before being cremated.
