I've had 'bad hair days' ever since I got it into my head that I wanted fringes, back in October. Don't get me wrong it doesn't exactly look too bad or anything like that. But it does seem like what I've got on my head isn't hair but Medusa's snakes.

Probably for the first time someone is asking to see my picture again after they got over the initial shock, panic and fear attack!
Just because you have not turned into stone after the first time does not mean you won't after the second or third, y'know...
Just to let you the beautiful haired people of the Forum that yesterday I had a pony tail!
OK, it was more of a bunny tail than a pony but it is still a tail and my hair is growing again!
Also, I am now considering donating my hair regularly; say every 3 or 4 years. Have I lost it?

You did a good thing and should be proud. I think it's a good idea to do it every few years. I'm glad you got it pulled back. That didn't take TOO long.
You're a brave woman, Scher! I could never let go of my hair like that! I have two girl friends who shaved their heads this year to donate their hair to cancer. I have a lot of respect for those of you that so it!
Congrats on the pony tail
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
its for a good cause and if you can live with it go for it!

Gee, if all you guys think it is such a grand idea, why aren't you joining me next time I go for a chop?

I always used to donate my hair to the Cancer Society's wig fund- it grows so quickly I could always afford to lop off a foot and mail it away.
As it is, I don't think I'll be going short again for quite some time. It's taken a year to get to where I am now, and the sides are still shaved down, because I need to hack at something!
Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.
I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.
When I was younger I gave about two and a half feet to locks of love, but because it is so thick i am sure for normal hair it would be more like 5 feet!
The hairdresser said the same thing to me!
Now my hair is touching my shoulders again and can be forced into a pony tail.
And I am already wondering when I can donate again next

Years ago, the week before I started highschool my mom cut my hair very short and we had the terrible idea of cutting a fringe. I have fine curly hair, but I keep it straight. Even so it tends to get 'poofy'. Anyway, my hair was in a short 'poofed-out' bob that reached my ears and she cut my fringe wrong so that it started just higher than the middle of my forehead. So basically I ended up looking like button mushroom. It was terrible starting a new school that way! I actually cried, hehe.
I have hardly any pictures of myself for those two years. I still have nightmares about it and refuse to cut my any shorter than shoulder length now
The good thing is my parents always let me decide what I wanted to wear or do with my hair, etc. The bad thing is that my parents always let me decide what I wanted to wear or do with my hair, etc.

I have not always made the best "hair" choice either... When I turned 17, I cut my hair so short that I could barely hold it.. with a fringe long enough to cover my eyes and sideburns to cover my cheeks.
The day before my university graduation ceremony, I had another very short haircut but this time it was more "normal" - though still shocking for people who knew me with very long hair for 3-4 years.
It is good to experiment while young

Definitely! Now, I'll never be tempted to cut my hair short again because I know I look terrible with it...and everybody has mostly forgotten the whole thing as wellIt is good to experiment while young
Oh, I don't know about that... 20 years on, I am still doing the same thing!

No I had so much trouble with my short hair and it took so looooong to grow back, that I will NEVER do it again
