What is fallen hair?

  1. Hair cut from the scalp

  2. Hair that is naturally curly

  3. Hair that has been shed from the head or gathered from a hairbrush

  4. Hair collected from barbershop floors

The correct answer is: Hair that has been shed from the head or gathered from a hairbrush

Fallen hair refers to hair that has naturally shed from the head or has been collected from a hairbrush. Option A is not fully correct since hair cut from the scalp can also be considered as "cut hair". Option B is incorrect because naturally curly hair can still be attached to the head and would not be considered as "fallen hair". Option D is incorrect because hair collected from barbershop floors may not necessarily be considered as "fallen hair" as it could also include hair that has been cut. Therefore, option C is the most accurate in describing what fallen hair actually is.
