In 1996, we had an exchange student from Sao Paulo, Brazil, who had hair down to his shoulder blades. After he had been here a couple of months, he and my husband went "out" on a Saturday morning, but seemed secretive. He had his hair cut and wanted to surprise me. But the most amazing thing is - he packaged his hair and mailed it to his mother. As you probably know, anything mailed out of the USA must be declared. (Probably more so after 9-11) I told the postal clerk I had mailed several things over the years, but NEVER hair!
