The hair is more interesting than the sand.
Wouldn’t think human hair would look so… synthetic? Looks plastic.
I kinda don’t buy it. The sand thing, sure. But i’m pretty sure human hair is cylindrical in shape and is scaly. It seems more to me that that might be some kind of very thin wire.

The cross-section of human hair varies a lot, whether it is curly or straight, and so on.
Not all individual strands of hair will be exactly and perfectly cylindrical. That’s an image using an electron microscope, which has VASTLY superior resolution that the simple visible-light methods used. Hair is extremely elastic, so there’s no reason to assume it isn’t being deformed by tension. Which we know for a fact it is, because it’s tied in a knot. Why would the photographer lie about using hair, and use something else instead? What motivation exists to be honest about a grain of sand, but dishonest about the hair?
I’m not doubting the photographer if this was really what he said. I’m more so doubting what the OP said.
First in a series of why I can’t stand the beach
I don’t like sand. It’s course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
That ain’t no human hair.
