... I've got the weirdest idea about werewolves...
So, the transformation. Body parts change shape, yeah? So my werebeasts are all five-toed. The tail -- well, it's just the end of the spine anyway, so it's not created out of nowhere. But the fur... okay, hyperactive hair follicles! I can buy that.
But they lose all their fur when they change back, yeah? And their head (and body) hair grows back.
How does their body know what length it was before the transformation? Hair is all dead cells.
So one logical way to go with that would be that every transformation = instant crew cut.
Or alternately it grows super fast and then they all end up with ass-long hair. But then I thiiink someone would notice a whole group of people growing a meter-long ponytail every month and then hacking it off, only to do it again, and again.

joisbishmyoga: I dunno, considering the mass problem and the reforming your entire skeletal and muscular structure in about five minutes flat without dying or deforming your brain to complete mush, haircuts seem a bit...
... or I might be thinking too much. Yeah. That's another possibility.
