It always amazes me how these photos of ourselves tell a story all on their own.

I never could get it to grow long and look good.<br /><br />I don't understand why some parents freak out over hair. I know a lady at my school who thinks girls should have long hair and boys short. <br /><br />I did take my kid to the salon a couple of weeks ago. We asked to have it trimmed so his hair didn't look so shaggy. They took 2 inches off. Gave him a Justin Beiber. Looked awful. I don't think he believes me when I say I really didn't want that to happen.<br /><br />He's cut off a few locks to feather it. He did a better job. Maybe I will let him cut his own hair.<br /><br />Sorry for the long post. I figure the length of a kid's hair is the least of your parental worries.VM Sehy Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832671940615894037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-51319271373993268542011-04-08T16:51:21.998-05:002011-04-08T16:51:21.998-05:00hello there, Ellen, nice to meet you.

Now I can't be bothered anymore, besides the tint now hurts my scalp. It's quite a revelation to meet the real me finally. From black hair to dirty grey-smudgy black.

I like to read about the relationship others have with their hair because it is such a major part of our persona. My struggles with my very challenging hair make me conclude that in my next life I want perfect hair. <br /><br />I am thrilled that my five-year-old granddaughter has thick,wavy hair. She let it grow for five years and it was gorgeous. She decided she wanted to have it cut and her parents honored her desire to control decisions about her hair, which pleased me greatly.R.

My dad took issue with my decision and didn't speak to me for years.<br />I had long hair and a beard for most of my adult life. Then in my 40's my hair began to migrate....I still haven't figured out were.<br />Maybe I'll do a similar post on my blog. Of course I'll say I got the idea from you.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-45375427199536936052011-04-06T17:48:12.611-05:002011-04-06T17:48:12.611-05:00hair is so like a flag on the battlements - a poem...hair is so like a flag on the battlements - a poem written in the front page of a year book - it tells so very much about the outside of you and then it also tells so very much about the inside. then it tells about everything else. this post is such an insight for me - a boy all my life - now watching my hair quietly fade away. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-39760946700484319762011-04-06T16:15:03.791-05:002011-04-06T16:15:03.791-05:00Interesting post.

I have found a good haircut for me which I maintain myself most of the time with a trim now and then. It is blunt cut between my chin and my shoulders. The bangs are long but shorter than the rest. I have been thinking about a layered shorter cut but the maintenance worries me.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842711799199331211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-81501328359114182672011-04-06T15:51:30.093-05:002011-04-06T15:51:30.093-05:00This was such a fun post.

I've given up on that now. I like it long and long it shall stay. <br /><br />I love the various photos of you through the years.

Why did they think long hair was bad? That is so bizarre.<br /><br />I believe my hair is a being with a rather separate agenda from that of my ego. Currently my hair is so happy not to be laboring under layers of chemical coloring and also because it is the longest it has ever been.<br /><br />I LOVE my hair.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-60564367493622857422011-04-06T14:40:55.786-05:002011-04-06T14:40:55.786-05:00Ellen~

Once, when I was about 24, a man asked me how my husband felt about my short hair. What an odd question. What is it about having long hair that could possibly be about my femininity or sexuality?...and who gives a shit about what my husband thinks? He's not the one wearing it. :o)<br /><br />I do, however find the hair that is becoming sparse in some regions, and growing miraculously bristly in others, rather disconcerting. So perhaps hair is a sex trait thingy after all.
