Here is an article I thought was interesting about how hair is extension and it may contribute to higher faculties when kept long.

......and even more so if the hair is long and red

hmm....so can kilted Highlanders sense earthquakes before the rest of they Sassenachs ?

a very interesting article Rain...warrants some serious research.

....and what does this tell us about skinheads and standard army buzz-cuts ?

I was going to reluctantly hack some of mine off, to tidy up the rat's tails and dreadlocks .... but not now ...goody, one job less to do before i go on the warpath and extract the kittens from the depths of the Pine tree that i've just planted in the front room...heavens alone knows how i'm going to get tinsel on it's branches and a star on top.

Hear, hear

Woahhh.....Tinsel, a pine tree you don't do Christmas Sheila

Great article Rain, that's probably why women are more intelligent and intuitive than men

I wish I could grow mine long, it's so thick and curly it just grows up and out.

Extremely fuzzy photo of me as a bushy-headed fifteen year-old:

I was talking to a patient at work today who has lost all her hair through chemotherapy, I said it must be terrible for a woman to lose all her hair like that, she said it's not all bad, for the first time in my adult life I don't have a moustache
Her family have bought her 4 very expensive real hair wigs for Xmas, she said she can wear each colour depending on her mood but prefers the red one because it gives her energy

You can Tim, use straighteners, my nephew does and he looks great

I never have my hair cut if I have something important to do or am starting something. I think expecially women can naturally feel how tied we are to our hair. When you cut your hair I think you can feel something beyond just the hair is missing. Have you noticed whenever you pat your hair how soothing it is and it can stimulate nice dreams.



It's heartbreaking - and some women are more devastated by losing the hair then being told they have cancer.



That is one head of hair.

Brazilian straighten and/or argan oil.

Mine's is long and tends to dreadlock itself because i threw out the hairbrush when i was sixteen...it's never been brushed since, i just chop off bits of the fringe when it gets in my eyes...i am a raggle taggle gypsy who only showers when threatened by my friends...my friends understand what i'm like, rough & ready with uncut toenails and a bit snarly, but hey!
...my body is not "me"...it just gets me from A to B when the mood takes it. I like to think of it as the well worn envelope that carries the rather interesting letter within.

I noticed my first grey hair this summer (in my 53rd year) .....and that, i reckon ... is down to washing it only every couple of months...i like to store the energy!
My theory is fling out the mirrors...who needs them.

No i don't do Christmas, but we dig up the Sapin at the end of the garden every mid winter and drag it in the house for the kittens to play with...it's large & bedraggled but you should see the tiny kittens when they see it...eyes like saucers....and then there's the race to the top to grab the tinsel !

hmm....no

One bad experience with straighteners several years ago put me off them. I went from shoulder-length to slick bald trying to mitigate the damage, AND I had to have a new driver's license photo taken the next day. For the next four years my ID looked like that of a recently paroled convict.

the things people do...i just googled "straighteners"......Ye gods, they fry your hair into submission !...great way to subdue your sixth sense if ever there was.

Yep....totally attached to my hair. They say you are suppose to cut it after you get a certain age.....wonder who came up with that crap? (must have been my mother).

TCP; what a cutie! Love the hair.

I absolutely refuse to straighten mine, I don't care what the fashion is. One of the great things about having curly hair is that it's easy to style! And I can tell you what the humidity level is at all times

I had never thought about my long hair in terms of 6th sense....very interesting.

Thanks, but that was a looooooong time ago! 1978 as I recall.

Clearly, people haven't been studying their old wives tales as assiduously as they should have been, otherwise they'd know that the key to having straight hair is to cut the crusts off their toast and sandwiches, for 'tis the eating of the crusts of bread that cause the hair to curl. Or so I was told as a child .......

If they were going to study what part of hair gives the sixth sense it would be a good way to work it out. Curly hair is rougher along the shaft and therefore along the same length it has more surface area then straight hair. The same reason why you don't iron towels or sheets.

What this means is Dr. Tomatis uses the fine hair like strutures in our ear to stimulate by high frequency (like ear cardio workout) in order to repair damage.
Damage to the hair within the middle ear has very wide reaching affects.
This also affects our ability to hear language, communicate and orient ourselves in space and time.

You have a very questionable history with food as a child, Richard. I follow the Queen's lead, it is absolutely imperative to cut the crusts off your bread. I believe the Queen has a wave to her hair.

"Almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day,
It's getting kinda long. I could've said it was in my way"

- David Crosby.

... well, he almost blew up his plane.

Hair are the only part of the body that go into the head, maybe even into the mind.

Who knew Willie Nelson had such great hair?! I think I'm jealous. Mine won't grow past a certain stage, it just gets more curly and the ends split. I was hoping I would have it long enough to sit upon by now, but I don't think it's going to happen. But, I'll keep on trying.

I haven't thrown out my hair brush, but I only use it once a day.

I love to drive with all the windows down, which gives me a head full of knots, but I don't care. Big, shaggy dog I am, at times.

So, here's to long hair and warriors! Raise a glass!

Do you reckon I damage my hair listening to loud rock music? Not to mention my ears.....but I am addicted. Oh, if you haven't seen Corjans video, it's actually pretty good

No wonder I have crazy hair!
