LHOOQ Original by Marcel Duchamp.

In 1919, the French artist Marcel Duchamp painted a mustache and goatee on a cheap postcard version of the Mona Lisa. Over the years, Duchamp made many more versions.

In this style algorithm, four styles of facial hair are available though someday I'd love for there to be many more. There are also several colors of hair available but for now they somewhat closely resemble natural hair colors.

The lengths of the hairs and where they originate is determined by the PME.
