	Because of the limited genetic pool, Eldritch hair is very similar in texture from individual to individual, and identical in color. It's all straight, relatively coarse, and pale. There is the occasional individual with a slight wave, but they are surpassingly rare. It has not yet been fashionable to dye the hair any bright color, though there have been occasional "wash" fads where someone tinted their hair with a translucent shade of some light color, like pink or gold.

	Noblemen among the Eldritch are expected never to cut their hair once they've reached adulthood, and fashion has always dictated they wear it loose (subject to personal vagaries/variations: Jahir wears his hair only to his ribcage, and both Valthial and Hirianthial wear their hair shorter). The occasional ornament is allowed to keep it out of the face (ferronieres, dangles, narrow braids, circlets, etc). Modern noblemen often choose a length and keep their hair trimmed there, but it is invariably below the ribcage.
