Default Adding hair to a compost pile

Question: Is it ok to add hair to a compost pile?


Yes.

I'm talking about dog hair, cat hair, and human hair.
Has anyone done it?


Yes

Does anyone have cites about it?


Only in books on composting - those books say that hair dressing asalons are
a good source.

The only problem with it is that it tends to mat together so you've got to
be a good compost turner. I'm not so tend to find chunks of uncomposted
hair that I have to throw back into the next batch.
