I used to think that mustaches were just really long nose hairs.

When i was little i thought my grandpa had a bald spot because he never brushed his hair, being afraid that my hair would fall out i always brushed my hair at least 5 times a day.

When my sister and I were small children, our mother had let our hair grow very long. Every morning, we would go through the horrific pain of mother brushing the sleep induced tangles out of our long locks. Mother told us that at night while we sleep, rats make nests in our hair causing the thick, matted tangles. For many many nights, I would stay awake late in hopes of catching the little bastards who caused me so much pain in the morning.
My mom took me to the hairdresser when I was little to get a trim. My mom pulled me in a corner after my trim and asked if I wanted to grow bangs. I looked at her and said "But mom, wouldn't it take to long?" and she looked at me in a very confused way. She didn't know that I thought the term "grow" bangs meant that you had to sprinkle your head with "bang" seeds and water them until they "grow".

At ages 4-6 since all the kings in my pack of playing cards had beards, I logically assumed that all men with beards were kings.

My mother has a story she loves to tell everyone about me. I don't remember this, but she says when I was really little I was afraid to get my hair cut. She claims I was telling her, "No Mommy, it'll hurt my hairs! It'll hurt my hairs!"

i used to beleive that you could move your hair (like you move your muscles)to style it, and i thought my hair muscle was paralyzed because i couldnt get my hair to move.

i used to think that, as i would grow older, my hair would become all curly like my grandma...
the Sistah
I used to believe that everyone's hair grew continuously. Mom always kept me and Sis's hair cut short. I used to imagine how long it would get once I was out on my own and could let it really grow. When I did, I was surprised (and disappointed) to finally learn the truth. Me and Sis were so certain we were being "deprived". Turned out neither of us had much hair to grow anyway!

When I was younger, my mother told me that she had to go over and color my grandmother's hair, and that I couldn't go. I was desperate to be involved, so i got out my box of Crayolas and asked my mom, "Now can I go? I can help color grandma's hair!".
Jen
When I was 6yrs. old. I ask my mom "Why some of your hair is white ? " My mom replied "When you do something bad one of my hair goes white". I replied " How come ? Grandma's hair are all white ? ".

When I was little my Aunt who was a hairdresser told me that the hair on the floor would cut my feet so I shouldn't walk on it. I believed this far into my teen years.

My uncle Michael was bald and I remember asking him where his hair was. He replied that it had blown off one day in the wind and it was in the tree in the garden at the front of the house. I used to always look into the tree to see if I could find his hair for him so he could put it back on his head. Even when I grew older and I knew it wasn't true, I couldn't get out of the habit of looking up at the tree every time I passed it, subconsciously searching for his hair.
Steph
when asked if he would like to grow a beard when he grew up my little brother answered "I wont be able to grow a beard because I'm not going to smoke"(???)

Quizing my uncle on how he to grow a beard he explained the art he said you had to rub salt into your face, and laya bowl of water by yoyur bed and pretend to be asleep. Once the hairs knew you were asleep, dehydrated from the salt they emerged to get the water, when this happened you had to to tie the hairs in knots as quickly as possible and voila
My dad always told me that eating black pepper would "put hair on my chest." He sure had lots of it, and since the pepper looked enough like hair seeds I had no trouble believing it. So throughout my youth I sprinkled every appropriate food quite liberally with the stuff. Well, guess what--the mirror tells me now that I might have overdone it. DAD--You didn't say anything about my back and bum!

I used to believe that in order to get rid of bangs (fringes) you had to shave them off. It never occurred to me that you just had to let them grow out. Unfortunately, I realized this AFTER shaving my bangs off!
Caroline Meyer
I used to think a mustache grew out of your nose hairs. I tried to let mine grow, but it didn't work.
Barry
I used to believe that a 'skinhead' was not a racist, but somebody with a shaved head (it made perfect sense at the time).

When I was 4 or 5 years old, my dad wore a mustache. Sometimes my sister and I would get up on the weekends and hang out in my parent's bedroom with them to watch cartoons. Occasionally, my dad's mustache would be missing. He always told us that it fell off while he was sleeping. We would look all over the bed, under the pillows, etc. trying to find it. It wasn't until I was about 10 that I realized that he got up in the morning and shaved before my sister and I had gotten up. I hadn't thought about too much before then, I just accepted it as a fact that mustaches could fall off at night.
