Hair Care During Nuclear Attack
Prompted by the recent threats from North Korea, Guam's Office of Civil Defense recently issued guidelines on what people should do in the event of a nuclear emergency. It included the advice that you should wash your hair with shampoo or soap. However, you shouldn't use conditioner "because it will bind radioactive material to your hair."
Interesting and potentially useful to know.

Rats. I wanted my hair to be snag-free right before it catches fire.
