Top Five Worst Ways to Refer to Human Hair

1. Human thread

2. Head lawn

3. Nature's floss

4. Scalp whiskers

5. Cranium fluff

This list has been in the works for quite some time. It originated from a chat with Rachelskirts where “head lawn” came up somehow and then “that is one of the worst ways to refer to hair.”

Yeah, we don't know either.

Every single one of those made my skin crawl.

I prefer to call it “cranium foliage.” For facial hair I call it “facial foliage.” I started using facial foliage before cranium foliage.
