Wow. I have never before heard of a loghaired person willing to sell their hair. Considering all of the time spent combing it, playing with it, styling it, caring for it, washing it, the money spent on the "perfect" shampoos and conditioners, I'm sure that you had spent much more than $1500 on your hair before this guy showed up. So basically, you were ripped off (both in money-value and in aesthetical value). I spent 12 years growing out my hair to where it is now, and I know for a FACT that a million dollars would not buy my hair (but maybe 10 million?...hehe). $1500 is what, maybe a computer, or a used car? I think that long hair is worth MUCH more than computers or used cars!

It's the ages-old story of a man using money to induce a woman to "sell out" and go against her will... but in this version, the target is her long hair instead of s--.If indeed there was a bet involved, he was probably "smart" enough to ensure that his "winnings" covered the "fee" he paid you. So his payoff was likely large enough to cover the $1500 payout, and then some.To some guys, $1500 is chump change. This guy probably wanted to see what he could get you to do. Be certain that he, and those with whom he bet, got quite a laugh out of what they got you to do.

I thought I had heard everything, but about two weeks ago a man in a suit and tie approached me in the mall and asked if he could buy my hair. My hair is past waist length and I get compliments all the time but I was speachless. I said "no way!" but he offered me $800. I balked, stuttered a "no thank you" and started to walk quickly away and said "$1000 and a stylist of your choice..." I turned and asked why? He said why not - $1200? I said make it $1500 and it's yours.Done he said. My stylist was around the corner and near the end of the walkway. We went inside and Jacky my regular was open. She said you're early for your usual trim what's up. I said - this guy is paying $1500 so ask him. For $1500 you can shave mine bub what's your story?

Ok, I'm sure many of the other longhaired members of the board had the same experience, but here it goes again. As a sophomore in highschool, I had hair that was midthigh (now it's still around the knee area). I wore it in a ponytail one day. Some kids were examinig it and suggesting all sorts of crazy things, like getting it spiked, or shaving it bald. Finally, one boy asks, "How do you go to the bathroom with such long hair?" I didn't know how to explain to him why I won't describe the process to him in detail, so I just said, that after all of these years I've figured out a way. A few weeks later, my sister and I were talking (she had hair almost as long as mine), and she told me that a different boy asked her the same thing. Is this the ultimate long hair question of what?!
