      Seems unlikely that you’re right. Photographer is Ethan Beckler of 1of1images. This is part of a series of photos with sand grains on human hair

      How are there multiple comments saying this? It’s a well known fact that there are several shapes.

      Differences in the shape of the scalp hair follicle determine the observed ethnic differences in scalp hair appearance, length and texture.

      See the Structure section here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_follicle

        Because people see one electron microscope image of a human hair and instantly become experts in the subject. Dunning-Kruger effect at its dumbest.

          I agree, and not only that, but they seem to want to shit on anything cool/beautiful where possible, because they are superior to “all these idiots who just believe anything in a post they see”. Or at least that seems to be the pattern imo.

      Mine isn’t. Probably has something to do with why it curls
