Do you mean I need to collect my hair for stuffing? Ick!
You wash your hair, don't you????? Just think, our forefathers (foremothers???) used to collect horse hair for home decor -- stuffing chairs, making pictures......LOL
Ick! Ick! Ick!

My hair sheds off me in such quantity it wouldn't take long to stuff something but I HATE picking it out of the drain, sweeping it off the floor, plucking it off upholstery and brushing it from my clothes.

And - it's on my head when I wash it. A totally different process. Imagine, all that hair laid out to dry........ICK.

I have lots of deer hair around the yard, wonder how it would work to stuff things.
