A member asked:

Is there any effect of huge nd somewhat long curely hairs on our memory nd other brain activity?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you are asking whether long, dense, curly hair affect brain function, the answer is no. The amount and type of hair on one's head does not affect brain function. Wearing a turban also has no negative effect on brain function.
