    Not going to do it, but I just wondered when I read on a site that you can't use donor hair... She definately has hair to spare, but I have never even researched the genetics of twins, just came into my head whilst reading.

    Would be cool. I myself am 1/3 of a mixed triplet, the other 2/3 being my two sisters with super-thick hair.

      As far as I know identical twins can use each other's donor hair, non-identical twins cannot.

          Too bad we cant clone ourselves and take all of the clones donor hair. I would feel bad for the clone tho.

            I can see a few ethical issues being raised here.

              Hahahaha!

              "Hey, Sis, would you mind shaving your head and having a strip of hair cut out from the back of your scalp then cut up and placed into my head?"

              "Yes, it'll leave a scar and yes, you'll be bald and scarred for at least 3 months, but it won't hurt!...much."


              Can see that one going down really well.

                She hit me with a rock when I was younger so I have a scar on back of my head from that, she owes me.
