I simply don't understand why Armstrong chose to tackle the problem in this fashion. He had two options, he could go out saying
"That is my hair! It belongs to me and I do not want you selling it. Cease immidiately or face legal consequences."
or he could simply say
"That is not my hair."
The last is preferable as I see it. The barber has no way of authenticating the hair without Mr. Armstrong. By destroying the credibility he would prevent any sale.

not sure if it has been mentioned yet as I'm coming to this topic for the first time and responding as I see the posts, but Mr. Armstrong attempted to get the hair bought back, but the buyer wouldn't sell. As Timber mentioned Neil was upset about his hair being sold without his permission, if the barber knew someone was interested in his hair he should have simply asked him, Neil has every right to want his garbage to be discarded, Pritchke mentioned celebrities having extra rights, well they do have a few perks, but they also forfeit alot of their rights (ask the National Enquirer how they can get away with outright lies about celebs), but Mr Armstrong isn't capitalizing on many of the perks, and simply wants to be left alone. I certainly wouldn't want someone selling my DNA (which the gov't has on file due to my military service) without my permission, I wouldn't want to see my trash in someone's collection of stuff, unless they came to me (in which case I wouldn't care as it's not an invasion of privacy).
