GROWING OBSESSION

Ezzeya Daraghmeh, an 82-year-old Palestinian woman began collecting her hair cuttings when she was 15. “I hate to throw it away. When I comb my hair or wash it I keep the hair that falls off.” Today, she has the piles of different shades of black, brown, grey and white coloured locks stuffed in a mattress and three large pillows. “All this hair came from my head,” she says.
