(65,931 posts)And have it since the age of 5. I first lost it all at age 3, it sort of came back for a year, but then, poof! gone virtually overnight at age 5.
I have almost no concept of hair other than my last haircut given to me by my dad at age four on our porch.
I find the entire concept of hair fascinating and also ridiculous.
I am truly amazed at the ends to which humans will go to either remove hair or keep it. Not only that, the whole concept of paying a gigantic premium to some stranger to "cut it just" right is just plain weird.
While I do find hair aesthetically interesting, I find the entire process by which some people obsess over it bizarre.
Yes, I don't get it. I readily admit it. But you know what? In our seemingly hair obsessed society, I'm very glad I don't get "it".
And I also find it interesting that people identify themselves via their haircut. As if the style they choose allows the to play a roll.
So if this young woman wants to let it grow, good for her, but her position of letting it grow is just as equally correct as someone who would want to shave everything off.
Hair or it's absence, plays a much bigger role in peoples lives then then they could ever possibly imagine.
