My hair is happily growing but now that it is moving towards my waist I find it getting tangled in all sorts of weird things. Today I shut the car door on it. Does anyone have this problem and what do you do to avoid it? ------------- that is a hair DON'T |

I used to have hair past my butt and would do that... ...snag on door handles, cabinet handles, dresser knobs ...shut in the fridge, car doors, doors in general... basically I just made sure I had it gathered in front of me or smoothed my hand over it ( sorta like smoothing ur skirt before sitting down) before incountering a dangerous situation. ------------- Hair type: fine but thick; natural blonde with 15% grey |

Hello Tina: Welcome to the new world learning how to have humour and enjoy life hopefully without many problems while having long hair. Many times I have closed the car door on my hair. Got stuck in a seatbelt once. Had it caught in a filing cabinet. The worse one for me to get use to is that my hair will often prevent me from turning sides in bed or I find my better half sleeping on my hair and I can`t move and almost always having to shove him off my hair. My birds have been caught in my hair. ( not a pretty feeling lol) Oh the best one was when I was a rep and tried to take off my coat in front of client and couldn`t because of my hair was nicely wrap around a button. My latest one was when I went dancing and for whatever reason as I turned this other guy ended up with a handful of my hair. Poor man. His face was very red. It wasn`t even my partner. lol The weirdest moment I ever had was when I went to a single dance and this guy asked me to dance and for whatever reason he decided to take a nap on my hair while we were dancing and his earring got caught. ( yeah and they wonder why I won`t go to single dances anymore lol) I tried very hard to make sure that my hair is pushed to one side when I get into the car or go to bed. I will try my best to make sure my hair is under my coat so prevent awkwards moments. ------------- dianefromcanada |

Hi All, Well I literally got my hair caught in a tree. Not once, but twice. I got it caught in a ficus tree at a Barnes & Noble and had to drag the tree (luckily not too big) to the front of the store to be detangled. Yes, I was mortified. My hair was loose and it was trailing behind me as I paid no attention while looking at books. Somehow the back got snagged in some leaves. I also got caught in a tree at my old job. My friend Jane Bullock (who writes for HairBoutique.com) actually rescued me and was laughing so hard at my hair emergency that I thought she would drop over. She loves to tell the story. I bent down to pick up a book I dropped and when I stood up my hair again snagged some leaves of yet another ficus tree. To this day I avoid those trees like the plague. I have also gotten my hair caught in my power windows, the draws of my desk, my front door and several other "I was not paying attention" places. Thanks for sharing. I always love to hear that others have the same long hair challenges. :-) Best wishes, Karen ------------- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-) |

Hello, I find that having long hair is, well, to be honest with you, quite bothersome at times. Maybe it`s just because I am a very busy person, but I truly prefer it to be put up into a bun or at least wrapped up in a scrunchie most of the time. I rarely wear my hair down unless I`m enjoying a leisure day at home. Ha! Leisure? At any rate, I have found that the fastest way to gather my hair is to twist it as if I were going to wear a bun, and then place a chopstick under the bun and secure the top with a scrunchie pulled over both ends of the chopstick. As soon as I get my serial cable back for my camera, I will post a picture of what I am talking about to try and make it easier to understand, as I know I`m not the best explainer. :-) Happy New Year and much long hair to you, Karen Marie a.k.a.
