Hair graphs a mathematical equation in 3-D space

Each strand of hair is formed into a shape dictated by solving an equation in three dimensions and fixed there with a spray of gel. The equations will form a family, with graded parameters from front to back and centre to either side (if you wish it symmetrical) or it may vary smoothly from left to right (assymmetrical).

This would make for great conversations about one's head.

"Looks great. Just what is it?"

"It's an ellipsoidal differential bessel funcion, in the front, here, and it sort of slides into a laplace transform for the back with a touch of sinusoidal modulations for the sides"

I can't believe this exists. Includes a fractal cornrow simulator Java applet. [waugsqueke, Mar 27 2002]

It would only be 'assymmetrical' if you had very long hair.

I have to admit, I like the idea of walking in to a meeting, standing in front of the projector and using the shadow from your coiffure to illustrate your company's projected earnings.
