Yak Hair




I read an article that yak hair was used to create werewolf make-up in the early days of cinema. Apparently, yak hair has the same consistency, feel, and look of human hair. As a matter of fact, it's so realistic, that many rich people back in the day would have wigs made out of yak hair.

Can you imagine the guy that has the job to shave the yaks? I don't imagine it's a picnic for the yaks either.
