Haha this is amusing. I had a friend think that the ACV on my shelf behind my sink (we can't keep this stuff in the communal showers because apparently it causes a hazard for the cleaners) and thought we should do shots of it (probably thinking it was alcohol), then realised it was vinegar. Then of course he wondered why I had vinegar on my shelf with my shampoo and conditioner.

[florenonite]

Your friend complains about her hair being dry and full of split ends. Later, you are whingeing about a girl in your corridor who takes uberlong showers, and you say you don't see why anyone should spend more than five or ten minutes, unless they are shaving both their legs (which really isn't necessary daily in a Scottish winter, ergo this girl shouldn't be taking showers upwards of half an hour daily in the shower), and she responds that she takes twenty minutes as she shampoos the length of her hair twice. You say that you rarely shampoo your length, and usually only shampoo your scalp because otherwise it dries out your hair too much. She doesn't get the hint and continues washing all her hair and then cuts several inches off. Her hair's still longer than mine, though :(

.... when you always hear : your hair is really long, are you doing locks of love


I really like this thread

[terriej]

...when you constantly pull your own hair...with your armpits

...when you start screaming at your husband that he's laying on your hair and then realize he's not laying on your hair, you are.

[HaiirPEACE]

when your hair gets stuck under a strap to a large bag on your shoulder and you always have to pull it out of there.

or when your hair gets stuck in the car seat belt or window and you are happy about it because that means it finally grew

[anna1850]

...when your braids will accidentaly strangle you while you're asleep.

[Isilya]

I hope I haven't said this already

... when you turn around too fast and you hit yourself in the eye with your braid tassel

[RavennaNight]

when everyone tells you " your hair has gotten so long!" and you still feel its short.

[Loviatar]

When you quote people on LHC “And then Dianyla said…”

What usually happens for me is something like:

Lovi to BF: "I read this really interesting blog entry today, you know Morticia?"
BF: "Noooooo......"


TMI but: When missionary is always aborted with “Ow! Ow! My hair! Get off!”

Hahahaha! That's what crown buns are for :)

[Medievalhair]

When you tell your mom you want to cassia your hair

When your double braids are long enough to be bunned

[Dianyla]

What usually happens for me is something like:

Lovi to BF: "I read this really interesting blog entry today, you know Morticia?"
BF: "Noooooo......"
Oh, I can top that...

When I mention to my non-LHC-member boyfriend that I was reading something really interesting by Morticia, you know? And he says "Oh yeah, that's the Asian female sociology prof with the two really cute children, right?"

True story! :D

[Mebo]

When your hubby asks "what's new on the hair board?"

When you get a new job, and the first place you run a map program to find directions to is Nordstrom's, to see what Ficarres they have (true story).

When your legal assistant offers to French braid your hair for you before court......

[swanns]

~ When these cute Namibian kids keep touching your hair and ask if they are extensions (all of them had either very short hair, braids or exensions) and when you tell them it's real hair they can't believe you :D Man, I wish those kids!

[Islandgrrl]

...when you forget to take your bottle of conditioner to the gym and none of your friends will let you use theirs because they're afraid there won't be any left for them....

[florenonite]

...when you forget to take your bottle of conditioner to the gym and none of your friends will let you use theirs because they're afraid there won't be any left for them....

Or when you go to the pool and your friend asks to borrow your shampoo and wonders why you only brought conditioner. Another friend asks if you have a brush and when you reply "I hardly ever brush or comb my hair" gives you a funny look.

[trolleypup]

... when you can use your own hair as a blanket when it's cold
Or a scarf!

[trolleypup]

TMI but: When missionary is always aborted with “Ow! Ow! My hair! Get off!”
Or starts with "Just a sec", or just whatever the necessary hair movement is.

[aprilmay]

We did this on the old LHC i am unsure if its here now.
Sorry if so.

You know you are a long hair when :
You are using the port a potty and you realize you have to hold your hair so it isnt in the urinal thingie.

You know you are a long hair when:
You clean out your vaccuum bag and theres more hair than dirt in it.

And when you are in the port a potty and the static electricity makes your hair stick to the door when you are on the toilet. :mad:

[truepeacenik]

Or starts with "Just a sec", or just whatever the necessary hair movement is.
+1
how about kissing through the veil of strands- from both partners?

[Shell]

You know that you are a long hair when your hair toy collection could refinance the national debt of a small nation....

[aprilmay]

When your kids say, mom get your hair out of my face!

[cassie_g]

when on a windy day, it gets shut in your car door.

When your mom gets her hair caught and you can't help but giggle just a little because you thought it was second nature to make sure your hair was in the car.

[wolf girl]

When you need to get your braid out the way and your DD says, "Mother! Did you REALLY just put your hair under your armpit?"

[aprilmay]

Kids always keep us on our toes! :)

[DotDotDot]

... when you're sleeping with your hair down and you wake up in the middle of the night with a small, furry thing sleeping on it. (True story!)

[BlndeInDisguise]

When someone on a horse forum asks for advice on shampoo. Maybe I've been going a little OT on my threads there?! :p

[Rustella]

When DH saves found shed hairs you missed and puts them in your baggie of hair for experiments.

When DH washes the pony-tail holders the cat stole and has been playing with.

When DH knows your hair idols on LHC and can pick them out by their sig pictures.

When your stuborn teenage dd finally starts asking you how she can take care of her hair so it will grow longer.

When people compare celebrity's hair length to your own.

When the majority of your space in the bathroom is taken up by stuff for your hair.

When you can be Princess Leah for Halloween---without a wig.

[lynnala]

When you spend time contemplating all the stuff in your kitchen cabinet, wondering what you can experiment with.

[Dianyla]

Or starts with "Just a sec", or just whatever the necessary hair movement is.
And the other person is the one who actually rearranges your hair... ;)

[wolf girl]

When you need to get your braid out the way and your DD says, "Mother! Did you REALLY just put your hair under your armpit?"


GUILTY!! :p LOL

[Delenn]

It's a hair-down day so you're strutting your stuff to your car while a really cute guy is watching you (yea buddy, I see you checking me out over there...) so you concentrate on being suave and cool. You reach for the door handle to make a neat little step-into-car-with-a-playful-hair-flip maneuver except the wind kicks up, you trip on the car door because your hair is now all in your face from every imaginable direction so you can't see where you're going, you slam down into the seat and practically hit your head on the steering wheel while trying to get all of that hair out of your face. All while fumbling for the keys because you hear said cute guy laughing. :doh:

You pull on a stray hair and it just keeps going and going and going...

You spot a fellow long hair and you each give each other a solemn nod of "Yep, a kindred... 'sup?"

Your braid becomes an extra attack in martial arts class.

Your friends really don't understand why you have so many pics of the back of your head on your myspace page... primarily because you don't know how to explain to them that you frequent a hair forum.

[heidihug]

- while watching TV shows you've recorded (DVR, VCR, whatever) you fast-forward through all the commercials, EXCEPT the ones that feature long hair.


Hee. Yup, that's me, too.

The other day I made my DH watch about 10 minutes of some historical movie about one of the English queens because I could not keep my eyes off of their up-dos. Gorgeous, gorgeous. And then one of the characters appeared at court with hair that was left down, and I had a fit because I know that they never never did that. (I used to be a bit of a historical hairstyle research freak.) And my DH just rolled his eyes and complained about having to watch a crappy historical movie when he could have been watching baseball.

[Nevermore]

When you S&D before breakfast.

I just did that this morning.

[MusicLady]

When your DH starts pointing out long hair in restaurants, and suggesting I go talk to them!

[wolf girl]

When your at DH's B-day party and SIL looks at your camera and asks why there are so many pics of the back of your head...:rolleyes:

[Kiraela]

When your DBF complains that you are wasting too many batteries in the camera taking wild attempts at hair pictures, and insists that he be your official hair picture taker.

Or when your DBF's father is visiting, and sees you on the computer, and all he asks is, "hair stuff?" Even though he knows what the answer is, already.

[aprilmay]

I have only had two stints in my life of not being a long hair and each time as soon as I cut my goal was to grow long again.

When people ask you if you are ever going to cut your hair and you roll your eyes and tell them, what do you mean, I just trimmed it a few months ago!

[zelah]

... when you get the following spam in your inbox:

"Guaranteed increase in length"

... and your first thought is of hair.

Just happened to me this morning. :o

[florenonite]

When you tell your friends "I was trying to revise The Rape of the Lock this morning, but got distracted and cut my hair" and they look at you and say "it doesn't look any shorter".

When you inform said friends that you used your 'hair-cutting scissors' for the procedure.

[DecafJane]

When you go on a tour of a region that produces oils and your first thought is "I wonder how apricot kernel oil would work in my hair . . ." :D

Yes, it is lovely and absorbs really well. :)

and a week later they know what you meant.

When, every time LHC goes down, you have a minor heart attack.

[Kiraela]

When you have your hair pulled over your shoulder in the car, and it gets stuck in the seatbelt. the LAP belt.

I was dorkily excited about that, btw.

When you've gotten asked if you were amish or pentacostal because of your hair, more than twice in a single week. (technically the first guy said 'omnish'... which I assume to be like, omniscient amish? "fear the allseeing quakers!" :P )

[CurlyOne]

...when you reach around to grab that one loose hair that is tickling the back of your arm only to find out that it's still attached and a lot more than one!

[Lady Godiva]

When someone two people down the pew in church ties to remove the pesky loose strand of hair, but it's still attached to you.

When you walk around at home on your tippy-toes because you'd step on your hair if you didn't pretend you were a ballerina.

When the rest of the time, you hair is in an updo so you can walk normally. :lol:

[florenonite]

Someone posts 'pretzel bun' in a word association thread on another forum and your response is 'hair'. You then get very offended when the response to that is 'scissors' and have to refrain from posting back 'hair shouldn't be cut!' or some such thing :silly:

[Juli414]

You start brushing your teeth, then realize you're also flossing... with your own hair.

[lava]

Well...I'm new here, my first post...but I'll add.

When you cosleep with your baby/toddler, with your hair in a ponytail...and wake up because he's gotten one body part or another completely entangled in your hair and he's crying and struggling to get loose...(and it's even worse when you have to wake your husband up to get him loose because you can't hold the LO still and untangle behind your head!).

That happened to me last night, I was half asleep and it sure as hades woke me up. :rolleyes:

[DecafJane]

Alternatively, you get your honey out of the fridge to make up an SMT, only to find flakes of toast in it because DH has decided to use it for breakfast. ;)

[truepeacenik]

you investigate possible relocation places with an eye to the water: as in hard or soft!

[Robbi Dehlinger]

You feel this soft, fluffy stuff on the back of your neck and realize it is hair, not your cat???

[loves2spin]

After taking a walk in the woods with your DH, you find 2 nasty ticks firmly attached to your scalp. You ask the DH to take a tweezers and remove them, and all you can think about is, "I hope he won't pull out any hairs." :rolleyes:

TMI but: When missionary is always aborted with “Ow! Ow! My hair! Get off!” :o

Ha ha ha! :D I usually just say, "Time Out!" an he says, "Hair?" and I say, "Hair."

[hurricane_gia]

When people ask you how long it takes for you to do your hair.
When you answer that question, no one believes that it didn't take you very long at all to do your hair.

When you take your hair down just to prove that you can redo it fast, and they say, "No, Don't undo it! . . . Oh, you can do that fast."

[hurricane_gia]

Your braid becomes an extra attack in martial arts class.


Love it. Reminds me of :

When your dance partner habitually ducks whenever he spins you.

(I used to be a bit of a historical hairstyle research freak.) And my DH just rolled his eyes and complained about having to watch a crappy historical movie when he could have been watching baseball.

And you see the actress with her hair down and you say, "That's not enough hair for the updo she was wearing in the other scene."

[hurricane_gia]

-when you watch historic-themed movies four times: Once for the hair, once for the costumes, once for the decor and architecture, and once for the plot

-when you measured the bathroom for a small refrigerator

-when more than half of the grocery bill was *not* for food

-when your husband stops calling the bathroom, "the throne room," and starts calling it, "The Shrine to Her Hair."

-when you can pick up your braid and tickle a baby's nose with the tassle . . . and you didn't have to lean closer.

-when no one EVER asks you if you know of a good hair-dresser

-when you carefully save your shed hairs and gather them into tassles.

-when you put a pillow behind your back in the car, so your hair doesn't brush the headrest.

[hurricane_gia]

when you make your husband drive so you can sit sideways, keeping your elaborate updo from being mussed by the car's headrest.

[nappywomyn]

Fabulous thread!!! :)

[Saranne772]

You carpet is covered in shed hair. Your mother comes in and scrapes her foot along the floor to get it up. I HATE THAt its SO irritating

[KnightsLady]

When you're able to let your hair down to keep your back warm and don't need to go searching for a jumper.

[loves2spin]

This is not an amusing one, but I noticed this morning that now, my hair is long enough that I lean over a bit and watch my hair in the mirror when I brush it out in the morning. It used to be that if I brushed it, I *knew* that I was getting it all. Now that is not the case! :joy:

[wendyg]

When you pull a pair of sweatpants on and the wastband closes over your hair.

[blue_nant]

You carpet is covered in shed hair. Your mother comes in and scrapes her foot along the floor to get it up. I HATE THAt its SO irritating

But it works. I do it while I'm on the phone. Best with rubber soles. Keeps me from clogging up that little weiner of a DirtDevil pc of poo I have.

[EllisGurl]

When you no longer let your braid be and start stroking the tassel

GUILTY!!!!

...when you henna regularly and your SO thinks nothing of it...including the "henna shirt" (to wear whilst applying henna), the "henna sheet" (to drape the bathroom for easy clean up), the "henna towel" (to keep henna from staining your pillow whilst sleeping) and the green goop and plastic wrapped around your head.

...when, after a self-trim, you ask your SO to check the evenness and he comments, "you know, when most people cut their hair, you can tell a difference in length."

[Phalaenopsis]

...when, after a self-trim, you ask your SO to check the evenness and he comments, "you know, when most people cut their hair, you can tell a difference in length."

That one really cracked me up :laugh: And it is soo true :D

haha.
I like this tread.

[tuuli]

... when you bent your head in the shower to feel how classic length will feel when it's wet. :D

[Medievalhair]

When you begin to check how long your braids are(for Hedi braids)...

When you want to Cassia your hair whether it gets redder or not...

[Gladtobemom]

You know you're a long hair when:

You veto a car purchase because the head reast isn't right for your bun. Love the Volvo, love the Saab, hate the Audi, etc.

You don't go anywhere without a hair emergency kit.

You put your braid around to the front when you sit on the potty.

[dulce-de-leche]

Your lil one doesn't pull on the bottom of you shirt anymore.He/She has discovered your hair
& yells "mmommmyyy!"for your attention.M y son used to do this when he was younger & I had longer hair

Wow I thought I was the only one who dreams this,nice to see i'm not the only one:p.

[LilyMunster]

.....you see a news story of a new titanium mesh heart 'sleeve', designed to help cardiac patients. You are thinking it would make a great headband...

[darkwaves]

When...

You automatically twist and pin your hair safely out of the way before you go out in the wind...

You wear it loose to work, and several people ask why you always wear it up. "It's so long!"

[MusicLady]

When your favorite conditioner has been discontinued, so you spend 30 minutes in the hair care isle trying to decide what to replace it with.

[Kiraela]

When the very thought of your favorite conditioner being discontinued gives you nightmares!

OR when said favorite conditioner shows up in a dollar store as a regular stock item and you have to do a happy dance.

[theory geek]

- You finish teaching a class and find that the lower part of your braid/ponytail has gone grey while you were facing the class (chalk dust)
- You can't wear your hair down for a performance because you'd be mortified if it got caught in the instrument keys
- You know it CAN get stuck on your instrument because it HAPPENED in the dress rehearsal
- You whack yourself with your braid in martial arts class (this is Stage I)
- You whack someone else with your braid in MA class (Stage II)
- You're secretly pissed off that your fiance' has much thicker hair than you, even though you both shed prodigiously

And to the posters who said stuff like 'you freak out about the bug in the shower, but it's your hair," "gets caught in doors," and anything about having to keep track of its physical location for your personal comfort and safety: AMEN!

I'm new to this community and I'm SO glad to have found other people who understand the long-hair's situation.

[AlleyKitten]

When your friends keep telling you "oh, I saw a woman with hair covering her butt and thought of you" or "hey, this actress has really long hair, look", and it's clear that you're the first thing that comes to mind whenever they see long hair!

[maskedrose]

When you're grooming your horse and you try to decide whether her mane looks good with fairy tale ends or whether a blunt cut would look best.

[shrare]

What are fairy tale ends? I'm new, so don't know much about all these terms.

[DecafJane]

You are watching Friends reruns, and have spent the last month watching and admiring Rachel's long, long hair . . . and then suddenly, without warning, it becomes a short bob!!!! :agape: You spend the rest of the episode weeping and gnashing your teeth every time it comes on the screen and saying to yourself, "It's okay, it's okay, it grows back, it is long now, and as long as she is happy . . . but it WAS SO PRETTY!!!!!" Then you see it in a ponytail and start doing the "my hair is longer than her hair" dance. ;) (All in good fun, of course!)

[morgwn]

Your hair tickles your lower back when you have it drying before you put it up for the day.

This one made me laugh because I thought exactly the same thing! At least she grew it long again :) I'm actually having a similar poutfest about Reese Witherspoon's new haircut. I know, I know, as long as she's happy . . . but her long hair with bangs was so perfect!

[florenonite]

Your wee sister, who hasn't seen you in several months, sees you with your hair down after washing it and says 'wow, your hair's gotten so long!' and it makes you far too happy.

ETA: when you get your friend doing CWC

[ailin]

...the first thing you look at in new people you meet is how long their hair is, how healthy it looks and, you catch yourself wondering what their routine is. "Wonder if she uses cones?"

[HollowHannah]

-The carpet in your room becomes the set of western film with all the hair tumbleweed floating around (until your mum hoovers it up in my case)

-You get your full name (not good) shouted from upstairs. Your mum is in the bathroom holding what looks like a drowned cat. It is in fact your hair, and it has been clogging up the shower for weeks.

[Tresses]

What are fairy tale ends? I'm new, so don't know much about all these terms.

Ends that naturally taper and become thinner (vs. blunt cut ends). :)

[Kiraela]

You were joking with your BF (well, half joking, at least) about the fact that some of your hairballs are large enough to be considered your children, and then the two of you come to the conclusion that hairballs make better pets than cats. You now have one that you have named 'Jimmy', who lives in a box on the dresser. (He's my strand test ball)

[WritingPrincess]

When you leave your hair down to airdry, and, rather than the back of your shirt getting soaked, it now also looks like you wet your pants.

When you have tailbone length hair, but comment to your mother that you don't have enough hair to make a decent braided bun/log roll/infinity bun/insert name of style that you can't do yet here.

When you hunt for old pictures that show how long your hair was, and can only find ones where your hair was in double braids. Part of you is proud that you were taking care of your hair even then, and part is annoyed that there are no length shots from the back.

When getting grounded from the computer is that little nudge you needed to start WO.

When you are grounded from the computer, yet still writing blog posts and PMs to post and send when you get back on.

Lol! Yours must be a whole lot calmer than ours--ours would be wildly whirling around in circles, trying to play. But she is only a year old. :)

[hurricane_gia]

Lol! Yours must be a whole lot calmer than ours--ours would be wildly whirling around in circles, trying to play. But she is only a year old. :)

Oh they get a lot calmer by the time they are four years old.

There's a joke about how you should never try to groom your Pyr during their peak activity time, between 3:02 and 3:07 am.

[Darya]

- You automatically hold your hair in your hand if there is any chance wind will blow it, you need to carry something heavy with both hands, etc.
- You have separate hair routines for regular public bathrooms (wrap around neck and then hold in left hand) and for pit toilets (put it up securely with whatever you can find).
- You can put your hair up in a bun without anything to hold it there except itself.
- You have ever looked in your pen/pencil cup for something to secure your hair.
- You no longer worry about sitting on your hair; you worry about other people sitting on your hair.
- You automatically gather your hair and hold it out of the way when fastening your seat belt in a car.
- You have ever fastened your hair in the seat belt fastener and not noticed until turning your head when checking to make a turn while driving.
- You have ever gotten into a car with your hair loose and sat on it on both sides and the back and wondered how to get it all free without rubbing it too much against the seat of the car.
- You have worn your hair up so much that when you leave it down you forget about all of the trouble that it can get itself into (caught in doors, windows, other people's clothing fasteners, random small children).
- You don't understand people who think that a braid will keep hair from getting into trouble.
- You don't understand people who think that you should have short hair since "it is always up in one of those bun things".
- Small children actually avoid your hair after getting their hands so thorougly tangled in it that it took two people and several minutes to remove them from it.

...when your friends are hanging out with people you don't know who point to someone with less than waist-length hair and say "that's really long hair" and your friends just start giggling madly.

[BlndeInDisguise]

Oh they get a lot calmer by the time they are four years old.

There's a joke about how you should never try to groom your Pyr during their peak activity time, between 3:02 and 3:07 am.

Lol! That's great.

I sure hope she's getting calmer by at least 4. If we're not out there, then she's calm (unless she's barking her silly head off :rolleyes:) but when we're out there....look out! She tried to climb into my lap yesterday, and she weighs around 90 pounds. Thankfully I had an umbrellla to push her off with. :p

*end hijack* ;)

[Lixie]

When you go shopping and, in the fitting room, are not fixated by the clothes you are trying on but by the view of your hair you get from the double mirrors. :o

[SarieQ]

You know you're a long hair when you wonder more about what updo you'll do for the day instead of what outfit you'll wear!

When you see some random person with what you used to consider long hair and start to admire the length--only to realize your's is longer!!!!!!!!

When you're cleaning the toilet and realize you shouldn't have worn a braid while doing that job!

When you wash once a week and then you find yourself extra protective of juice splatters or messy kid hands during the first part of the week with clean hair! "Don't you kiss my head until you wipe off your mouth!" LOL

When you find that you like your hair better midweek because it tangles less and feels softer silkier and hate wash day just because you lose the manageability for a couple days!

When your worst nightmare is having something happen to your hair!

When you have a "hair abuser" with short fried hair asking what is the point in having your hair long.

[silverwoods]

When you get it caught in various places 10 x a day when you wear it down: the neck of the office chair, the door, a cupboard, etc. When you *have to* go swimming with your hair up or in a braid.

[Saranne772]

When washing your hair becomes a routine which cannot be altered. Has to be done a certain way.

When you wash you hair at the swimming pool showers and all the other ladies stare at you as though you are crazy

[NorthernDancer]

When you stop at a health food store and ask for some slightly uncommon items, they ask you what you need it for, and you reply "oh, it's for my hair". You then get the 'you're crazy' look from the people in the store.
Yep, happened to me last night.

[Isilya]

... when you swing your hair over your shoulder to avoid leaning against it and your ponytail ends up in your bowl of cereal (guess what I did today :rolleyes:)

[TwirlyTresses]

You get a SPAM email message with the subject "Double your length and thickness!" and actually think it's about hair. :silly:

(Happened to me yesterday!)

[Newniepg]

When you tell a man you can't go out with him on friday night 'because I am washing my hair" and you don't mean it as a brush off.

[Isilme]

when you do the hairdance in the belly dance class and end up confused and dizzy because you couldn't se a thing and everybody else has stopped dancing this "step"

[Igor]

When your boyfriend is coming to stay with you for a few weeks and one of the things you need to fix before he gets there is so buy some shampoo to keep in the shower. Because you have been CO-washing for so many years you can’t even remember when you last owned a shampoo… :wink:

[Kiraela]

when you have so many hairballs scattered around the house that someone asks you if you are taking up tribble farming..

[Nevermore]

When your response to finding two shed hairs in your bed is to hold them end to end to see how long your shed hairs will be in another ~30 inches.

When you do this and the first thing that comes to mind is this thread.

[daeana]

When you tell a man you can't go out with him on friday night 'because I am washing my hair" and you don't mean it as a brush off.
or when you say it as a joke and are taken completely seriously. :p

[systemaurora]

When your iTunes pulls up the song "Rapunzel" by Emilie Autumn (Yay! I love that song!) and you immediately think of her hair...

And when you also almost as immediately cringe because you can only imagine the kind of breakage Rapunzel would have had from the prince CLIMBING UP IT. And wonder if some sort of mutant gene exists to keep you from having a terminal length... that would be awesome. :D

[Isilya]

... when you accidentally flood the bathroom because you forgot the water was still running when you went for a 'quick' check of the new posts on LHC (sad but true :?)
... when you used your blow dryer again after years, but only to try and dry the clothes that got wet in the flood
... when you can never get a pic of your untouched hair, because you comb oil/leave-in/... through it as soon as you leave the shower

[Isilme]

I forgot one. When your cousin's daughter (3 years) pulls her strawberry blonde shoulder length curls down and says "I have long hair like Isilme" I love that kid :D

[Carina]

When you close the cardoor and your hair get's stuck or put the seatbelt over it.

[tiny_teesha]

When your mother starts asking any reddish long haired indian woman if they henna and how, for you...but secretly for herself (as she hennas now because you made her cross over)

(btw, i do not mean for that post to be racist. Henna-ing did originate from the Indian/Pakistan/N.Africa area.)

[aprilmay]

When you tell people you had too much hair cut off for your last trim and they look at you like you are crazy when you say you are growing it back out.

[Kiraela]

when you've been meaning to get around to self-trimming, have even done all the prep work and had the scissors next to the hair, but ... couldn't do it.

I sat there staring off into space for 5 min... realized I still had the scissors next to my hair... attempted to trim, and spaced out again. Apparently my brain shuts off every time I try to shorten my hair. :/
