Sir, - Musing awhile on modern male hairstyles, I wondered if there might be a root reason, as it were, for the variations of hair-splitting - i.e., parting right, left, centre, otherwise, or not at all - on the very amenable growth territory of the human cranium.
While one realises that deliberation apropos of this filamentary phenomenon "dis-tresses" nobody and that it is the most trivial of trivia, it occurs to one that some cryptic explanation of a particular choice of capillary conditioning may lurk in the subliminal regions of the cerebellum of a concerned follicleologist (to coin a term), who could comb out the psychological strands and brush up considerably our insight into the body language of hirsute humanity.
In any event, hair today gone tomorrow! - Yours, etc.,
