Augmented Body: Empathetic Hair 3



The initial inspiration for this type of project originated from this experiment about puppies being bred with sea anemone proteins:

There was also the implications brought to hand about the type of cultural impacts this type of augmentation would have.

--If there were one type of "ideal hair", how would one force that sort of idealized texture/color onto themselves?

   -Would it be mentally healthy?
  -Would it be considered a norm to try and go for ideal hair?
  -Would someone be able to give convincing lies in their lifetime? Could this ability be controlled and used for manipulation?

--Would the ideals be drawn from our current standards, or would an entirely different standard be introduced?
