awakening Awakening Hair

[That1GuySpencer]

You can awaken stuff that was once alive, so what about hair. Hair is just dead skin cells, so can you awaken someones hair well its on their head? like a simple command "strangle" or something similar?

And would the same would be true for fingernails, they're the same stuff.

I wish i could grow my hair and change it color.... it would be so much fun

@TheBlueTaco it should definitely work.

When Vasher makes his little straw man he puts one his own hairs into it to make it closer to his own likeness and decrease the cost. So I would think that's a definite yes.

Likely part of their own image of self and connected to a hair folicle, so it would be the same as awakening a living body. Very hard to do as investiture resists investiture. Cut hair would work, though.

I think if the hair is still attached, it would be the equivalent to how in Mistborn

It's a lot harder to Push on metal that's even partially inside the body.

You'd have to be able to get past that resistance in order to manage it.

awakening something sown out of hair could be really cheap though, admittedly you would need a lot of hair, but Iridian royals could go crazy with that stuff.
