Human hair

Can anyone recommend the best way to store human hair, preferably in
a clear enclosure?  Can it be placed in a standard polypropylene
envelope, like for photographs, or does it need something else?  I
came across a cutting of hair in a scrapbook I was processing and
would like to store it separately, and preferably in a clear sleeve.
