TUBAS, West Bank: Palestinian mother Ezzeya Daraghmeh opens up a pillowcase and pulls out large clumps of her multi-coloured hair that she has kept for nearly seven decades. “I like my hair and I hate to throw it away. Even when I comb my hair or wash it I keep the hair that falls off,” the 82-year-old said at her home in Tubas in the West Bank.
Daraghmeh started collecting her hair when she was 15, storing the different shades of black, brown, grey and white coloured locks in a mattress before opting to use it to stuff three big pillows in her home.
She uses the hair pillows as decoration. “God is great, all this hair came from a single head, my head,” she said. — Reuters
