Stories about hair. Hair cuts, hair loss. Hair color, hair style. Hair talismans. Hair statements. A hair’s breadth. The selections in this issue of Bust Out, each in the neighborhood of 600 words, can be read while sitting in a chair waiting on your barber or stylist. They join the collective stream of compelling stories about hair whose roots run through Gift of the Magi, Medusa, & Samson and Delilah.

What is it about hair that affects us so deeply? How can a few minutes in a stylists’ chair turn into a transformative experience? Hair. Dive into these stories and discover, the meaning and significance of hair in the lives of these characters, so artfully conveyed by the lowfat fiction writers in this issue.
