Your hair's life story.

Well, I was just curious. In other threads people have talked about what they think childrens hair should be like in their opinions, and I was just curious as to how everyone's hair has been throughout their lives.

I was born with black curly hair, which straightened and lightened as I got older. My mum thought it looked cute in little bunches tied with bands with animals and things on. As a child in the 50s she couldn't easily have long hair and was forced to keep it short. I never noticed my hair when I was little, even though it was long because most of my friends had long hair, too.
When I was about seven, most of them cut it to shoulder length, but I never did because I would have felt mean when my mum loved it long. By high school (in Britain high school is 12-16) everyone had shoulder length hair practically, and I considered cutting it just to shut my friends up and because I thought it would be more accepted in society. Luckily, I never did cave in to pressure and my hair survived almost intact, except for layers. There are about 20cms left of them, so I'm trimming about 1 cm a month off myself (in Wales there are no long hair specialists, and I don't trust anyone. Ever.
Now I've grown my hair about another 10cms since I started there, and intend to grow it more, once I've got rid of the layers. I'm 15, and a happy, mould-breaking bunny.

Well, that's my story. It's not very interesting because there have been no major changes in my hair, but I know some of you have.
This thread is hopefully going to be where you could post all your stories for us to enjoy. If you wold like to post pictures, that would be nice, too. (Personally, I wouldn't post photos because I'm always worried about the possible risks, and I don't trust people. Ever).

Well, start posting stories. Please. Or else I'll look like a twit infront of all you nice people.
