This guy named Louis B. has been amassing a hair collection for six years. He claims to have upward of 400 bags of the stuff. He started when he was working in a salon and he hasn’t stopped since because… actually we have no fucking idea why he does this. But even during his three-month stay in a French prison last year (he won’t tell us what he was in for, but we suspect it was either for loving hair too much, which is a crime in France, or for stealing hair from a barber shop, which is a crime against nature), there he was, walking around asking for hair, filling Ziploc bags with whatever samples he could get his hands on. In fact, Louis got himself employed as the barber for his cell block and became a confidant to his fellow detainees, collecting shady stories along with filthy locks. Ew. Here are some of his favorites.

Roll over the numbers for the history of each ball.
