I am serious.  What if, indeed?   We will never find out if somebody 
doesn't try it.  What could go wrong?  I am quite sure that hair does 
not decompose rapidly enough to make the substrate unhealthy for 
plant roots.  The only problem may be if it decomposes so slowly that 
it provides too little nitrogen to make much difference. 

I am not  interested in trying to keep nitrogen  available in the 
substrate but absent in the water column, but somebody who is, ought 
to try it!
