Sounds like you’ve re-discovered Brownian motion. The origianl observation was with pollen grains on the surface of water. I suppose the hair strand was light enough to be aggitated by the thermal motion of water molecules.

try it again at different temperatures

You are not alone. I’m experiencing similar symptoms. I can feel things moving around head, most frequently at my hairline and moving towards my eyebrows the most. Most are microscopic.

I thought I had head lice — but 3 doctors looked and said I didn’t even have a speck of dandruff. I’ve been using a nit comb for a few weeks and continually comb out wads of white stuff that look stringy — even after I’ve showered.

I’ve been putting the white stuff I comb out of my hair in plastic bags and I want someone to examine them, but I’m afraid they’ll just dismiss it as lint if they don’t recognize it. Maybe it is lint — somehow — but that doesn’t explain why I feel the crawling, why it gets worse when I am about to fall asleep, or why I’m getting bites on my body.

I tried scabies treatment and a few days later I broke out in a rash only on my stomach — I guess it was an allergic reaction.

I tried lice shampoo — did not work.

My head isn’t really itchy — I’m just super annoyed by the tiny fibers and little dots that are visible to my naked eye. I covered my head in almond oil tonight and it hasn’t helped much.

The feeling is the worst at night. I fear going to sleep. I do get itchy bites on my body occasionally — I got two big red bites on my buttocks last week. However, it’s the crawling on my head that is driving me nuts and I feel like the crawling may be unrelated to the bugs that bite my feet, ankles, anus and back.

I mostly want to know what the issue is so I can accept it and stop going nuts wondering what the heck is on me and always wondering if I’m contagious or my clothes are infected.

The symptoms are real, regardless of what anyone says. I will appreciate input about what to do next. Or, if you are experiencing the same thing, feel free to contact me too.

I have hair that moves and skips across water also. I can feel hair moving in my scalp. I can hold a strand of hair from my scalp between two fingers and watch it move by itself. I researched this in depth because I was haunted by it and very upset by it. If you read Dr. W. John Martin’s research and Press Releases on his website at hxxp://www.s3support.com, he explains what these moving fibers are. They are termed alternative cellular energy pigments a/k/a ace pigments. His press release further explains that our bodies are producing these ace pigments as an immune system response to stop the cell damaging effects of a virus. As we age, our bodies production of the pigments increase. Dr. W. John Martin is a virologist. He studies viruses.

Interesting.
It appears that the same Mr Martin is also a fraud and not allowed to practice either:

I have some doubt that anything he will ever say can carry much weight…

Dear Canalon:

You should really not believe everything you read. And Dr. W. John Martin is still in practice. Did you ever think maybe our government shut down Dr. Martin’s lab because they do not want the truth to get out to the 98 million people who were vaccinated with the contaminated polio vaccine from the late 1950’s to at least 1972? Dr. W. John Martin has researched this and studied this virus in depth and has brought this info to our government’s attention. Did you ever think that maybe they want him to be quiet because he is telling the truth and many people are very ill who got this vaccine many years after the fact? You need to read, consider all the facts and use discernment and an open/objective mind when reading information on the internet.

Can you please delete my profile and the two posts I made in this forum?

Thank you.

NO

I sent you an email asking you to delete my account and remove my posts at least two weeks ago. You did respond to my email but you have not deleted my account or removed my posts. Why? What kind of customer service is that? How does it serve you to ignore my request?

Dear Canalon,

I see that you replied to my question about deleting my account with a "No" answer. Why can’t my profile and account be deleted upon my request along with any posts I made?

Textured hair has special care and styling needs based on its unique curl patterns. Inspired by celebrity stylist Andre Walker’s hair types and built upon by NaturallyCurly readers and hair professionals, our texture typing system details the varieties of wavy, curly and coily hair. We’ve put together handy charts to help you identify your hair type at a glance. We’ve also given you quick care and styling tips as well as product recommendations to help keep your waves, curls and coils looking their best everyday.

Hair disorders result in the production of defective hair fibers. These disorders damage the outer cuticle layer and may expose the inner cortex to various hair treatments like curling, relaxing, pressing or coloring. The exposure to these strong hair treatments weakens the overall strength of the hair fiber.

Gradual weakening of the hair fibers is involved in hair shaft defects and hair disorders like pili torti and monilethrix.

Pili Torti
Pili torti(trichokinesis, corkscrew hair) is the general name for rigidly twisted hair. The twisting of the hair fiber occurs at focal points along its length. There may be several twists in one hair fiber.

In this hair shaft disorder the cuticle layer remains intact and is not stripped away as in Trichorrhexis nodosa. But the rigid twisting of the hair fiber through 180 degrees creates stress, which leads to fractures in the cuticle and internal cortex layer of the hair shaft.

Hair shaft disorders may lead to brittleness and uncombable hair. In general the hair feels dry and lusterless. Hair shaft abnormalities may occur as localized or generalized disorders. Genetic predisposition or exogenous factors are able to produce and maintain hair shaft abnormalities. In addition to an extensive history and physical examination the most important diagnostic examination to analyze a hair shaft problem is light microscopy. Therapy of hair shaft disorders should focus to the cause. In addition, minimizing traumatic influences to hair shafts, such as dry hair with an electric dryer, permanent waves and dyes is important. A short hair style is more suitable for such patients with hair shaft disorders.

In some people, the reason their hair moves is because there are alternative cellular energy pigments attached to their hair strands. New science has shown that some peoples bodies produce alternative cellular energy pigments as an immune system response in an attempt to stop the cell damaging effects of a virus. The pigments provide a non-mitochondria source of cellular energy. The alternative cellular energy pigment pathway is similar to photosynthesis in plants. Alternative cellular energy pigments are also known as ace pigments.

energy pigments? 🙄

ebianco,

First I do provide moderation, not customer service. If you are dissatisfied, I could not care less. I aim to provide a safe, polite and spam free experience to all users of this forum.

Second, what you post on this forum do not belong to you, but to the owner of the forum (A group I do not belong to, by the way) and in a wider sense to the community of Biology-online. If you have exposed yourself to the world in a way that you do not like, well too bad. I would remove personal identification put by mistake, but not opinions that you are ashamed of, but do not care to disavow.

If you disagree, feel free to contact the admins, but in the meantime you are banned for your stupid spamlike posts.

Enjoy your day.
