Accidental trim

**BelleBot** · October 12th, 2011, 08:35 AM

I went to the gym today and foolishly decided to wear my hair in just a ponytail. Well it got all over the place and I was cursing myself for not braiding it instead. But the biggest problem was when I was using the rowing machine. My hair got caught between the seat and the runner

It managed it slice an inch or so off my ends!
Oh the hazards of long hair. That'll teach me to wear it up in future.

Anyone else had any accidental trims?

I've caught it in an electric fan quite a few times when I was little, I remember having to cut it out, leaving me with a hairy fan

I once lost a huge amount of hair in a blow dryer. I wanted to examine the blow dryer because it smelled like it was burning and I turned it around so that the part where air gets sucked into the blow dryer sucked in my hair. I had a little piece of super short hair right under my (then new cut) fringe. I used to regularly cut it short again so that it wouldn't stick out.

I've had an accidental thinning, like the time I was squatting in the kitchen playing with my puppy. I stood up and lost about 8-10 hairs that had wandered into the lower cabinet hinge. OW!

I can't remember which side it was on but a couple of years ago I accidentally got a large section trimmed off by about four inches from the ends by the metal zipper on a hoodie I was wearing. I zipped it up and it was a windy day and my hair was in a ponytail or something and when I looked I had a nice sized chunk of cut off ends blowing away.

I used to continually lose chunks of hair in various things, like blowdriers, electric fans, car doors, windows, etc.
A few times I lost huge chunks of hair because, while I asleep at night sometimes, my cat decided my hair was food...

Ouch!

It's been twice now that I went into a forward dip (not sure what else to call it) when dancing and when I got up I ripped off a few hairs that I accidentally stepped on.

Agh! I remember when I got my hair caught in my mailbox and didn't notice! The sharp metal (why it was THIS sharp I have no idea!). It got 3in off me!
