FOXFAN, I am sorry to hear about your accident. In August of 1999, I was in a car wreck where I crushed L2. My hair was about to my bra strap then, and once I got onto the hospital bed, it stayed all bunched/ratted up at my neck for the next 5 days. It took my husband and my two friends 2 days and many bottles of the de-tangler to get all the tangles out. I was really worred that they would have to cut it off. The worst part was at the base of my neck, so My hair would of been REALLY short. I hope that you are doing okay now, I know that back injuries are very painful. I am very lucky that mine was taken care of the first time, but I am sure when I get older I will have more problems with it

I've definitely gotten comments that aren't so pleasant. I live in an area in the country where people are expected to all look alike, so just being a redhead makes me different. Then, add having 42 inches of hair on top of that... I've had people suggest I should cut my hair off and donate it to children with cancer. ( I don't retaliate by telling them they should sell their luxury cars and donate the excess money to charity so I don't see why they think they can tell me what to do with my hair.) I've had people ask how I could stand having so much hair. People are just uneasy with someone who chooses to look different. I don't flaunt my hair. I usually keep it in a conservative French braid. I am what I am. I'm not going to cut my hair to please these people.
(BTW, the comments always come from women with short hair in the latest styles. Men either like my hair or ignore it, but they never get as offended as women do.)
hey i agree!
when i used ot have long hair, everyone would rip the p iss outta me and they even had a petition saying i should cut my hair..... some people are very thoughtless.... if everyone had had long hair and i had short hair at that time im sure i wouldve got the same response....people just dont like people being different...mainly coz theyre jealous and cant stand competition innit!
