What Does Hair Weigh?

Okay serious question...
No seriously.
Anyone ever thought about how much your hair on your head weighs? Because I just cut off my hair from mid-back to shoulder length. I bet I lost a half pound of hair!
Any estimates?
Edit: found a site. I might have lost 1/8 of a pound of hair. Curiosity averted!

I always think about this when I weigh with wet hair. haha0 -
I bet wet hair weighs a LOT! Probably quadruple what dry hair weighs.0

I have to admit the thought came to mind when I got my hair cut the last time but usually I don't.. So I have to blame that thought on my MFP addiction especially since my hair wasn't that long.0

Shave it off and see how much weight you lose.1

And a very pleasant Seder as you are surrounded by your family and friends as well as a very Happy Passover too.
