In response to "from b2: I dont' think fallen hair contains enough DNA to work with. -- nm" by loosilu

Yeah, here we go. To get nuclear DNA, you need the hair follicle to be attached, which you typically don't get in fallen hair.

You can get mitochondrial DNA from the hair shaft, but that doesn't change much and you can't really use it to identify an individual.
