Neat. One of those - seen from behind, with the hair draped over the back of the chair - looks so much like my sister's hair I double-checked the name.

I had to clean up, and deal with OSHA, after a co worker got her butt-length braid caught in machinery (legally guarded) and scalped, literally. She survived. . .barely.

But I see long hair now and I cringe.

But I also love long hair, on either sex.

I once dated a woman with long, curly, red hair. Past her butt. She was really, really into it. I tried, but I could barely muster enough interested in her locks to keep her happy. Her hair required an inordinate amount of attention, both in maintenance, and in appreciation. Sometimes while we were talking, she would take my hand and put it on her hair. For a while, in hindsight, I often felt bad that I didn't adore her hair more. It was kind of like dating Man Ray and having a lukewarm attitude toward photography.

Hey, if I had but long hair that took me at LEAST a half- hour to brush, I'd want people worship it. It would be really cool to have dyed butt-length hair. My hair takes a good hour to get all the dye in and its only shoulder length.

I went to high school with a woman named Alla, from Russia, so when I saw there was an Alla on the list, I was sure it had to be her. It was not. Huh.
Her hair was to the floor in a braid, but it was not all stringy and nasty like some of these are-- that comes from breakage and not cutting a single inch no matter what. Alla's hair was lovely. She trimmed it regularly, and a good few inches at a time, but I guess it just grew that fast.

Hair Poem--George Carlin

I'm aware some stare at my hair.
In fact, to be fair,
Some really despair of my hair.
But I don't care,
Cause they're not aware,
Nor are they debonair.
In fact, they're just square.

They see hair down to there,
Say, "Beware" and go off on a tear!
I say, "No fair!"
A head that's bare is really nowhere.
So be like a bear, be fair with your hair!
Show it you care.
Wear it to there.
Or to there.
Or to there, if you dare!

My wife bought some hair at a fair, to use as a spare.
Did I care?
Au contraire!
Spare hair is fair!
In fact, hair can be rare.
Fred Astaire got no hair,
Nor does a chair,
Nor a chocolate eclair,
And where is the hair on a pear?
Nowhere, mon frere!

So now that I've shared this affair of the hair,
I'm going to repair to my lair and use Nair, do you care?

(Beard Poem)

Here's my beard.
Ain't it weird?
Don't be sceered,
Just a beard

What's really hot, to me, is super long hair tied up into a mega-bun that extends the back of the skull out 8 inches like an H.R. Giger alien head.

Ever have sex with a lady with great long hair? Gets all up in the action and pulls her head back as she sits on it. She likes it, she hates it, it hurts so nice, one said. Keeps wet spots off your side of the bed. All good.
posted by BillyElmore at 10:12 PM on March 9, 2006


I grew up oneness pentecostal, where the women are forbidden from ever cutting their hair. (It's a strained interpretation of I Corinthians.) So I was quite used to dating girls with humongous hair. It was almost a fetish in some circles, the guys would be inordinately attracted to girls who's genetics allowed them to grow extremely long and healthy hair.
In the seventies, women from this sect would supplement their "beehives" with oatmeal boxes, soda cans, etc. So... yeah, all marge simpson in real life.

Those glamour shots of "Suzy" were some of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. The way she offers her hair to the viewer? "look at me! I have high heels and hair! And a dog to match my hair!" I suspect she also has a collection of Marie Osmond baby dolls, too. Next to the Hummels.

How come none of them are fat?? Does all that hair growing require a 'super-metabolism'??

I know, I know - they're all old pics from a time when people didn't put on so much weight... but I'm just sayin - it could be a new weight-loss program if we package it right!

Actually, you can prevent the shower clog problem by putting a little "catcher" over the drain. Then you just clear the hair out after she shower. No big deal. (Although, it's not like I have freakishly long hair or anything.)

Your hair doesn't require input once its grown. On average people with long hair grow hair at the same rate as people with short hair.

But maybe I'm stating the obvious.

No, it doesn't just "rinse right out." It takes some effort, and quite a bit of water. My rule is no ejaculate in the hair right after I have just shampooed. Unless, of course, we get carried away.

Simply wonderful, cenoxo!

My niece told me that while she was working at a Chuck E. Cheese's (US kids' restaurant), a young girl with extremely long blond tresses got a huge hank of her hair caught in the flywheel of a bicycle riding game. My niece offered to call an ambulance, but the kid's mom declined. She wouldn't allow my niece to cut the girl's hair in order to free her, either. The mother spent close to an hour pulling the kid's hair out, strand by strand. When she was done, the poor kid's hair was frizzed out beyond Rosanna Rosannadanna proportions, and she was sobbing from the pain & humiliation, but her mom was clearly proud that her daughter's pride & glory was 'intact'.

squirrel, I have finally discovered my opposite. If we shake hands, I bet we both blink out of existence. (would it have made a difference if it was blond or straight?)

posted by Ynoxas at 5:23 PM on March 12, 2006


I baby sat for a gal with floor-length hair once. She kept it all wrapped up in a snood, so it just looked like she had some kind of growth on her neck. I asked about washing procedures, and she explained that it took an hour or so to wash, then she would spread it out and just wait for half a day for it to dry. Needless to say, she didn't wash it very often. I wondered why she bothered dragging the stuff around, but since she also had given herself one of those Renaissance Faire-type names, figured she just liked being pointlessly archaic. I was too young to grok the fetish potential.
