When I was 3 years old my family had just returned to live in the USA after being based overseas and so 'getting to know' my nearest relatives was the first thing we did. My Uncle then only in his early 30's who loved kids usually wore a hat or none at all revealing his baldness when he visited with us or when we visited him at the Grandparents. Well, one day we went to visit and he comes bouncing in and couldn't wait to pick me up but this time he looked different, he had a toupee on, something I hadn't seen before and based on what my mother says I gave him a very strange and curious look, reached out to touch his hair and then he, always a joker, pulled it off while playfully asking:"What's that?" and laughing at first my mother says I paused for a while and said "That's a Hair Hat!" So it was a 'Hair Hat' to me for many months only because it was a family 'joke.' My Uncle loved to tell that story whenever people with parents with toddlers were around and probably still does.

When I was in seventh grade, I had my first boyfriend. We were in science class one day, and I noticed that a strand of my hair had fallen out. He quickly took it and placed it on his head, then proceded to attempt to answer a difficult question, only to be devistated when he could not answer it correctly. I was a better student than he was, and he was convinced that putting a strand of someone else's hair on your head, you would gain their intelligence!

When I was little I thought coloured people had white pubic hair because white people had dark pubic hair.
Crazy I know!!!

I once thought that if I ever shaved my pubic hair, it wouldn't grow back again.

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 my brother was little, he was terrified of hair, especially wet hair, since, as you all know, wet hair sticks to you and is especially hard to get rid of. He used to cry everytime he had a back because he believed that the wet hair (which he believed was alive) was going to get him.

I use to believe that if I pulled the hair out where my cowlick was that it would grow back straight. I tried for a whole year till Mom asked why my banes were so short.

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!

I used to believe my head was big because I would get comments about it. Only to later be told that it wasnt my head but my hair which is naturally thick and curly. ;-D

My mom is a hairdresser and when I was 6 I asked her what a coulick was and before she could answer I said is coulick where a cow licked your belly when I was in it.

Being the weird child I was, I used to eat my arm hair. (I know, pretty gross right?) Anyway, either my mom or my brother told me that if I kept doing that, it would start to grow in my stomach and become a tree...not really sure what their logic was behind that, but seeing as how I didn't really want to be torn apart by a tree inside my stomach, I stopped.

I always thought that rubbing shampoo on someplace other than my hair would allow me to grow hair in that particular region

When I was 8 my grandmother told me that dying your hair would give you cancer. I believed this until I was 12.

I used to take my bath with my older sister. Our favourite game was to pretend to shave ourselves with soap and our father's razor blade, the security cap on of course. Once, I tried the blades on my arm without the cap, but my sister got so scared that I could do it again and injure myself, that she told me thtat if I shaved my hair once again, it would grow very long and I would turn into a beast. And my mother confirmed. Scary, all the more that I started to feel bumps on my forehead, and thought there was horns growing...
