Hair

"Who's the new guy, with the long hair?"

- Hotshot, to Cadet 1151

Hair was a collection of pigmented thread-like strands growing from the skin of certain species, including Humans and Weequays. The thick coat of hair of certain life-forms was also referred to as fur. Such species included the Wookiees of Kashyyyk. Hair came in a great variety of colors, lengths and thicknesses. As exemplified by the case of Obi-Wan Kenobi, hair lost its hue with old age. The Nightsisters of Dathomir could inflict curse on a given individual by creating a waxen effigy of that person. The creation of the effigy required a lock of the intended victim's hair.

Appearances
Hair appears in almost every Star Wars work. Hair is also referred to in virtually every Star Wars novel and many short stories, since describing someone's hair is often used to describe a character physically to the reader.

Hair is also referred to in the following visual, or other, media:
