Indeed. For thus it was revealed to Faramir in a recurring dream:

Seek for the Hair that was woven;
In Imladris it resides;
There shall foreheads be open;
Shinier than babies’ backsides.
There shall be shown a token
Of pileous pates near at hand,
For Isildur’s Brow shall beckon,
And the Hairpiece forth shall stand.
