My boyfriend shaves his head which is good I guess as he doesn’t have much hair!

Very nice information. Thanks for this. I’m a hair and beauty freak by the way:) Gotta have my perfectlocks no matter what it takes!

Charlene — Thanks for dropping in on an old post! I’ve heard “I recognized your hair” more than I care to admit. BUT! You’re right about never having to over-treat our curly locks. They’re going to do what they want anyway, aren’t they?

I know that I am WAY behind commenting on this particular post, but I thought I’d let you know that the same thing has happened to me. People remember my hair more than they remember my name. I’ve actually heard people tell me “Oh, yeah. We’ve met. I remember your hair”.

Also, I have a five year old half-sister who once told me (she might have been about 3) that, and I quote, “Charlene, your hair is CRAZY!”. Thank you, lil’un, thank you.

I’ve learn to love my crazy, curly hair. At least I never have to worry about volumizing creams and sprays!

Marsha — Yes, I do, and therein lies the problem. I shouldn’t dare to give more volume to my hair. It doesn’t need it. But I also don’t have time to wait for it to dry, since it’s very thick. So I blast it with the hairdryer, use some scrunching gel to tame the beast back down, and hope for the best.

Kathy….you can actually use a blow dryer on your hair? I have to let mine air dry….otherwise my hair would expand to record breaking heights.

Marsha — Oh, now I wanna see a picture! My problem is I over-dry it and then it expands. And, yeah, in the humidity? It can hurt someone. I can relate and I feel for you.

You're not alone. I have extremely-unmanageable curly hair that gets bigger and bigger with the humidity. By mid-afternoon in August, you can hardly find me beneath it all. Hubby tells me I'm going to poke someone's eye out someday. Marsha's last blog post..Stupid People Never Cease to Amaze Me….

kevin — That’s interesting. There seem to be rules about hair. If you’re a man and you shave it, it’s OK. If you’re a woman and you shave it, you’re crazy. There’s also the concern for anyone who shaves their head about whether it’ll grow back. It’s as though you’re risking your entire future as a human if you give up voluntarily that which could be lost involuntarily. Hmmm. Good food for thought. Thanks for dropping by.

your have beautiful hair, as most–if not all–the above comments attest…

i shaved my head, twice, in the last five years…i’m 47, now…it wasn’t a mistake, exactly, and each time it was a reactionary measure to some extreme life event…being male, i received very little ridicule (one person especially close to me reacted very strongly against it), though people who knew me well were understandably confused…

i think it’s been atrocious how the media and the public ostracized britney spears for cropping hers, the scrutiny kd lang received, and some few others…

if you wanna cut it, do…just keep in mind, it takes a long time to grow it back (i had long hair for a couple decades–i now keep it very short)…and hair or no hair, regardless how people behave, you are always you…

peace…

Airsoft — If I could get a comb through it. I was watching some bad TV today, a show all about Brittney Spears’ life the last couple years. That girl’s crazy because even though I’d love the convenience of a shaved head, I’d really never do it. She’s cracked.

Don’t shave your head, it’s completely unnecessary. All you need to do is comb it and you’ll be green.

Maureen — Suddenly I feel a lot better!

virtual millennium — That’s the same theory that works for the policy of kids wearing the same uniform to school. Nobody has to worry about what they look like because they’re all the same. I was actually glad for the uniforms so I didn’t have the pressure of looking cool, which I never did anyway. And thank you for the compliment!

PaulsHealthBlog — Wait. You have unwieldy hair? That I’d like to see!

amber — Oooo! The straightener! I’d love to try that, but my stylist won’t let me. Says it’ll damage my hair too much. She’s probably right, but I still dream (literally) of long flowing straight hair. I love those dreams. I feel like a movie star.

Char (Online Tutor: Academic Mentor) — I know you’re right. I hear that all the time when I’m at the salon. I love how you described your hair. That’s quite an image, and I’m sorry.

Wynn — If you’re a little curious, Babs Beetle made a cartoon version of the back of my head. Check it out! It’s pretty accurate!

Lee — I shan’t complain (as much) about my thick head of hair lest the baldness fairy come down and poop on me. Sorry!

unfinishedrambler — Oh, that reminds me. I have to change the picture today since I ate up the leg (and then some). If we meet in the spring, you’ll see me coming a mile away. I’ll look like a lollipop (hopefully) — big head, tiny body.

Mojo — That’s OK, I got your meaning. Tee hee.

Beamer — I hope you had a wonderful holiday! We did, but of course, ate too much to be healthy. But I’m raking lots of leaves today and hope to burn off half those calories. I don’t care if I get a blister. It’s gotta be done.

Jay — I think the only kind of hair I’d like less is fine and thin, because it looks really hard to “floof.” Need some floof! I feel for you. I promise to stop complaining (much!)

Joel Klebanoff — True, true! Then I’d be wondering whether my head really was a melon and its size is its best defining feature (or worst?)

Father Muskrat — Oh, man. Yeah, Buckwheat bad. But some days? Gets pretty close. I don’t leave the house then.

Sorry to hear this. At least you didn't compare yourself to Buckwheat. Father Muskrat's last blog post..it’s called gratitude
