I think we may have hit upon something here.Question to all: If, as a child, you were forced to wear your hair in a style you didn't like (my guess is that short hair rather than long hair was enforced for most people), how has it impacted the way you wear your hair today?And how do you feel about hair in general? Is combing and cutting your hair kind of like brushing your teeth -- just part of a normal grooming procedure with no strong feelings attached one way or the other? Or do you feel strongly attached to your hair? Or, if you were forced to wear it short, do you feel guilty for wanting it long now? Or does it make you never want to cut your hair again? Or did you ever feel that you were being punished by not being able to wear your hair the way you wanted?Or....well, let's just break the dam and discuss this, ladies! (and gentlemen, if they're so inclined)
