hair

I used to believe that if I got my hair cut like Farrah Fawcett's people would throw ashes on me.

I was taking a shower with my mom when I was about 6. I asked her "Why do you have hair down there?" She said "When you are older, you will have hair down there too." I didn't believe her. I just laughed and said "Yeah, right".

I belived that beard and mustache were roots of hair. That it took long for the roots to grow out from ones chin and that's why only adults had them.

I used to belive that hair grows from down, not from root.

When I was very young, I asked my dad why he didn't have any hair on the back (crown) of his head. He said that when he was a kid somebody dropped a rock on his head and all his hair fell out. I believed it for years.

when i was little one my best friends told me the only way you can get calick is if a cow comes in your room at night when you're sleeping and licks your head.. i honestly believed her for the longest time. what was i thinking?

My brother did not understand baldness as a child. One day at the mall, we were waiting behind a man who was bald in the center of his head, but still had hair around the sides and back.

Ever the polite boy, he asked my mother, "Why does that man have a hole in his head?"

I used to believe that my grandfather was bald because a crow has licked his hair!

I was told and actually believed that if my fringe hair covers my eyebrows, my eyebrows hair will drop and i would become eyebrowless.

I used to believe that all my friends who had bangs, were just born with them. Until about first grade when i said to my best friend, "i wish i had bangs like you" and she laughed and told me how the lady at the hair cut place cut them.

I used to think a mustache was just extended nose hair.

I used to watch bodybuilding competitions on TV. I used to believe that the bodybuilders were hairless because their huge muscles had grown up and over their body hair.

My 4 year old son used to check every morning if I had properly shaved my beard. So, one day I asked him why he was so concerned ... and he told me that "you'll age and ... die if you let your beard grow"

When I was around 5 or 6, I really hated washing my hair. I always found ways to put it off. My mom would always say, "If you don't wash your hair now, when you go to sleep, I'm going to cut it all off!" and I would cry because I loved my long hair. I also knew she wouldn't do that, so she tried a different method saying, "If you always wash your hair, it will grow longer much more quickly." That got me.

When I was 14 I got one of those round brushes stuck in my hair. Well, after a hour trying to get it out, I got the bright idea that it would be easier to take out if I got it wet. Boy, after I took a shower with it did I realize how wrong I was. It made it so bad that I had to cut it out and so only half of my head now had hair. Needless to say the kids at school weren't very nice about my new do.

I never use round brushes anymore

when i was little i used to chew my hair. i dont know why. one time my dad got sick of it i guess and told me somthing. he said with a super serous look on his face "if you keep doing that a ball will get bigger and bigger in your stomach and it will grow mold and they will have to cut open your body and take your stomach out.....i think ill take you to the docter so they can do that before it gets any worce" i was scared to death about that i never chewed my hair again, actully im scared if any hair gets near my mouth, i dont know if its true or not, but im still scared.......
