My hair still gets crazy tangles in seconds. I find it isn't quite as bad if I put it in a ponytail at night. Sometimes I will take a comb into the shower and comb through it before I rinse out the conditioner.

My hair is straight and fine—most barrettes just slide out. Mom used some sort of amazing conditioner when I was wee, so combing wasn't too much of a drama. But it's so straight and fine that when it gets too long it just looks limp, unless I want to spend time with a blow-drier and product, so I don't let it get much below chin length anymore.

I have fine, thick hair that was stick straight until pregnancy.

Hair stylists always tell me my hair is fine, but "you have a lot of it," and I always raise an eyebrow. May be true, but my hair still feels pretty ... thin to me.

My hair was stick straight as a kid. So pretty! And now it has weird waves in weird places, and will curl in the humidity, or if I cut it short enough and scrunch it.

hm ... my hair's thick and wavy, not coarse but not fine, with lots of body and several cowlicks. I spent my adolescence trying to get it to go straight, with a consistent lack of success. We didn't have conditioners when I was that age - just cream rinse (which WOULD make oily hair greasy). I finally gave up on wearing it long and then found someone who could cut it so I didn't have to do anything much besides wash, dry, and brush. Now ... with the coloring, it's coarser and I have to spend more time on it, but I'm happy with it.

I still get plenty of people telling me that I should straighten my hair. Characters like Janice or the Nanny do not help.

P-C, health~ma to your grandfather.

Bonny, ~ma for your appointment.

Theo, surgery~ma for your mother today.

My two sisters and I had long hair which ranged from wavy to curly. More than once we combed a layer over the knot at the base of our necks. I envy children who grew up in the magical era of spray detangler.

None of us knot as much as we did and we can't grow it nearly as long ::sob:: It has also gotten considerably thinner and less wavy...

I don't exactly long for the knots, but it seems unfair that now that I'd be able to engage in advanced brushing I don't have to.

My hair is crazy. It is also just barely long enough to braid now! I need to get the crunchy ends trimmed (the parts that were there before the henna switch), but that would leave the length awkward. So I suffer it.

We put Lillian's hair in two braids, which has made a huge difference in how much effort it takes to keep it long. No more bad bedhead in the mornings.

It has never been cut. She can make that call for herself when she is older.

When I was 5-10, my dad would cut our hair. Once when I was 6-ish, I got impatient (he was still out milking the cows) so I cut my own bangs. Of course it was a fiasco. Too bad there are no photos.

P-C, much ma.
