Something confusing about vampires is the fact that they don’t grow fingernails or hair. Hair has a certain lifespan, then it falls out. Every time you wash, comb, or brush your hair, you lose a certain amount of hair. Humans constantly replace that hair, but vampires don’t. So, I don’t see how these old vampires that have lived thousands of years can still have hair. Over centuries the hair would become old and brittle… and would break off. Myer says that a Vampire’s hair is not enhanced after transformation because hair is already dead. I just don’t see all these ancient vampires with the thick luscious hair they seem to possess. Maybe they’re wearing wigs?
