Ever since I was a kid the shock of hair at my forehead would ‘flip’ when it got long. This has always annoyed me. My hair can look nice if I take the time to have it cut, but I never seem to get round to it. There are always more interesting things to do. My best fiend is balding. A lot. He’s a bit sensitive about it, and always wears a hat. I think it annoyed him when I’d brush the hair out of my eyes. My other friend is balding, so he shaves his head to about 1/16" and lets it grow until it about doubles its length. He’s not vain about it.
But here I am with all of this hair. I need to get it cut. SuperCuts never gets it right, and my friend’s SO hasn’t told me the name of her stylist. I think I may just go to SuperCuts and have them shave my head. Half an inch on top, and the sides proportionately shorter. Spike what’s left with some gel. Then it won’t start annoying me again for another four months.
*Let it fly in the breeze
and get caught in the trees
Build a home for the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas,
A hive for bees,
A nest for birds,
There ain’t no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it,
Long as God can grow it, my hair.*
Okay, my hair’s short, but I can never resist joining in a musical number.
I’ve been shaving my head totally smooth since about mid August. Prior to that it was about 1/4". I love the way it feels when I first shave it but it’s getting to be a pain in the ass. I generally shave it in the shower but because my hair grows in all directions on various areas, I can never get it totally stubble free. So I wait til my head is completely dry and go over any remaining stubble with an electric razor. All in all, I spend more time on my hair now than I ever did when it was longer including the 80s-90s when it was shoulder length and I blow dried it every morning. I have a full head of hair and I seriously think about letting it all grow way long and going the geezer pony tail route because the only time my hair really looks good is when it’s very short or very long.
We’re going through a hair era, here at chez Stonebow. My hair is long. Stonebow’s hair is long. Now, my teenaged son has decided to grow his out, too. The damn drains are always clogged. :smack:
FaerieBeth, my wife and I both have long hair. Hers is very thick and grown past her waist. We invested in a cheap, simple hair trap for our drain. No problem!
I was born a brunette. When I was a toddler, the sun would show off my red highlights, but clearly I was a brunette.
In high school, I bought a highlighting kit, but covered my whole head with it. Looked great til the roots came in. Resigned myself to brunette-hood
Until 3 years ago when I finally gave in to my inner redhead. I will never go back to being a brunette. I get so many compliments and with my pale complexion, it looks natural.
Besides - you’ve heard this one right?
Blonde’s mating call “I’m sooo drunk.”
Brunette’s: “I said I’m so drunk”
Redhead’s: “Next…?”
Oh, wait a tick… I like non sequiturs!
