My hair is currently long enough to hold a pony tail for the first time since college. I wonder if I have the patience to grow it out really long again.

Oh my GOD, I just remembered you were in my dream the other night! And your hair was so long, I barely recognized you! I was having you and the family over for dinner, and you had blue nail polish on, and you didn't make fun of my cooking, and you had these long, gorgeous CURLS.

Wow, weird.

Ha! I must have been astrally projecting from 1999!

Clearly!

Sara's hair is SO fine. And when she sleeps on her back and gets up in the morning, the back looks like she ratted it. It's horrible to comb out.

That's me right now. One morning I was trying to brush out my hair and kept saying "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Since it was within the time frame of the Horrible Very No-Good Back Pain, when he heard me yelping, The Boy walked over to the hallway so he could see me, because he thought it might be back pain. When he saw me brushing my hair (or trying) he laughed and laughed until I told him to go away.

Let us not EVEN speak of what happens to my hair during sex. Not. Even. Funny.

I have no idea what CJ's hair is really like. He has always kept it buzzed. I tried to get him to grow it out one summer and it maybe got an inch long before he couldn't stand it and begged me to get it buzzed again.

I do remember spending time with K-Bug, after she would wash her hair, combing it out and working through the tangles. There were tears, but she wanted her hair long, so she would suck it up and deal.

I've had my hair short for the last few years, so not much in the way of tangles, but now that I'm trying to grow it out, who knows.

We need to send Teppy on one of those zero-g flights so we can get pictures of her with Space Hair.

Snerk.

My hair is super fine, too, and very short right now. When I get up in the morning, it's not snarled so much as ... bent. Like, it's so fine, it just bends funny. My bedhead is legendary in this house.

I find that once mine is ponytail length it no longer takes patience to grow it out, just inertia -- and I have that in spades.

A fellow in our neighborhood opened up his own salon in the basement of his house and he gives a fantastic haircut for $30, including tip. This gives me such joy, I can't even tell you. We can never, ever move out of the neighborhood now.

I haven't colored my hair since the Fall, so I have been pleasantly surprised by the I'm-not-as-gray-as-I-thought-I-was discovery (although I have a lot more gray than my DH).

If I stopped coloring my hair now, I think I might discover the opposite. Sadly.

My hair was never cut until I was 12 and it was knee length. Mother would wash it once a week and it took about a half hour to comb out, while I stood and whimpered. Of course, once she braided it into two pigtails, it was the easiest hair ever, until the next week.

My hair waves when it's damp and goes stick straight when it's dry, except for a couple of cowlicks that stick straight out.

I loved the sex scenes in The Big Easy, in which Dennis Quaid catch her hair and she's say "Ouch." Usually movie sex seems to magically do away with awkward body parts.
