hair

When i was little i used to believe that when you got your haircut, the barbers would "unscrew" the top of your head and screw a different hairstyle back on.

i use to believe that water grew your hair and if u put to much water on your hair it would rot and die like a plant....i was 11 when i found out your hair was already dead.

When I was about three, I once heard my mom telling someone she was getting a perm and I thought a perm was some creature made of tangled hair and brains that lived in a dank green lagoon somewhere.

My sister told me that hair is just dead veins. I believed her, and told all my friends, they were disgusted, but they believed me too.

You know when you get a cut; you bleed. I was around five and I knew this to be true. I figure if skin bleeds so does your hair when you get it cut. Whenever I got my hair cut, I would cry and yell and fight so I would not my haircut so I would not bleed to death.

When I was a kid I had some really difficult curly hairs that would get tangled 5 minutes after they were brushed (still do). I loved cows, so my mom told me that little cows were walking around on those hairs and tangling them. We affectionately called them my 'cow hairs'.

I went to Sunday School with a Christian friend of mine and she told me if I converted my hair would become straight because all Jewish people had curly hair like mine.Straightening irons,not religion,took care of that "problem" when I got older.!

When my sisters and I were kids, we used to stick tape on our face to make silly faces, my mom must have ran out of lots of rolls...until she told us we would grow hair under the tape. That put a stop to that!

When I was little I used to chew on my hair a lot. Then my Grannie told me that if I kept doing that, my hair would turn into worms. Needless to say, I stopped immediatly!

MAL!

My grandma had a short tight curly perm when I was younger, while my hair was long and stick-straight. While eating a sandwich one day, she told me that if I ate the crust of the bread, my hair would turn curly like hers... I did NOT want her hair! I immediately stopped eating bread crust.

This is about my cousin. She's got dark red hair, and her mom loves her color. But at ten years old she badly wanted to bleach her hair, her mom told her that if she bleached her hair, it would go green, because she had red hair. Two years later she told me that i really shouldn't bleach my hair, I also got red hair, because it would go green, I didn't know how to react so I started a fitful laugh...and told her that wasn't true, and she was like "what?"

I belived that if I mixed all the different shampoos awailable in our bathromm, my hair would get extreemly strong and give me incredible powers. Havent seen any yet though.

In the early seventies when I was just starting school my father used to teach at evening classes and my parents used to have parties for the students. The fashion at that time was for men to wear beards and have long hair, but my father didn't really go for that. So everytime I saw a man with a beard and long hair on the train or bus I would always think to myself 'That's a student'.

I have a cowlick right in the middle of my hairline in the front. Anytime I had bangs I looked ridiculous (my mom kept my hair short - GRRRRRRRR). She told me that if I cut it off that it would grow STRAIGHT OUT no matter how long it got. Till I was about 25 I used to tell all my hairdressers "Watch out! I have a cowlick in the front!"

I was convinced that you had to water your hair to make it grow, like plants. So the more you shampooed your hair, the longer it would grow.

I used to believe that blond hair grew in with dark roots. I transferred to a new school at the age of 11 and asked another student why her hair was so weird. (She was a natural blond)

afm

This is not my own belief, but someone else's, which I think is so cute that it merits being on this site: Being a curly-haired little fellow, this person thought as a child that all the other children must have curly hair, too. On his first day of school, however, he found out that they did not all have curly hair, some of them had straight hair. So he was shocked and did not want to go back.

I once heard my aunt tell her sister that she wanted a Farrah Fawcett hair-do and I thought she wanted her hair to stand up and swoosh out like water coming out of a faucet.
