My Hair

Thanks. No, that's the one where my hair is still damp. I'll add the one of my hair dry to this comment. Photo is mine.

@DaddyEvil That's a lot of hair. If I wash my hair and do not go to the salon to have it blown out I end up with a big head of hair.

@lovebuglena If the wind was blowing when we were outside, it'd look like a haystack.

She wanted to show that bald was beautiful. So her friend didn't have to feel alone and singled out. That's really nice of her. I wouldn't have shaved my head for our friend but I don't have a problem growing my hair out so she can have it.

@kobesbuddy When the stylist cut off my mullet when I was in my 30s, she donated my hair to Locks of Love. Pretty donates hers every couple of years.

@DaddyEvil I donated my hair twice for Locks of Love. They cut I believe twelve-fourteen inches off the bottom. Then, she cut my hair into a nice style. I'd never shave my head, as an act of love!

@DaddyEvil hmm I see the dry photo but it still doesn’t look red to me. My husband tells me often though that I’m color blind . It is so nice of you to be willing to grow out your hair for your friend to have it made into a wig. You have such a kind soul! I just cut about 6 inches off my hair a week ago and it’s still hurting my head to wear it up so I cut about the same off again after my shower just now. It’s still halfway down my back.

@shaggin Several people have told me it doesn't look red on this discussion. *shrug* I'm not a doctor so recommend they see an optometrist... Pretty already had hers cut and gave it to her. (Our friend was crying when we saw her because she lost her beautiful hair... How could I say no to her?) Hmm... were you aware you can sell your hair? It's a beautiful shade of red and people would give you a lot of money for it online. (Pretty sold her hair once when she was in college and got almost $1,000 for it. If you decide to do that, don't let the person cut your hair or meet them to get the money. Make them send you the money first and then mail the hair to them. Pretty said some girls at the college she attended had bad experiences selling their hair. I'm glad she insisted on mailing her hair to the person who bought it.)

Thanks. I've never needed/wanted to make a collage before and can't imagine I'll ever wish I could do it again. I posted the photo of my hair dry in Lena's box on this discussion. It could be the person taking the photo, too. Pretty doesn't use a camera often.

@DaddyEvil thanks for the reference. I had to look it up and realized it's what my 4th husband wore. Loved his style.

@DaddyEvil You know, I never pictured you as someone with long hair, this was an interesting post.

@Juliaacv Thank you. As a younger man, I wore a mullet from 18 until I was 30. My hair was down to my waist when wet and the curls pulled it up to the bottom of my shoulder blades as it dried.

You know I'm sweet and innocent, just like an angel.

@DaddyEvil Sorry Mr Gentleman I can't on this

@DaddyEvil I am still working from Home

When I go get it cut the stylist always tells me how thick it is. I'm just glad I'll never have to worry about going bald.

@florelway My brother four years older than me only has a fringe of hair around his head. He started losing his hair before he graduated from High School.

@DaddyEvil That's true.. You're lucky.

@DaddyEvil

@DaddyEvil it could be my computer. I still have not learned after all this time to set things right. I still can not fix the small print where I can see my bookmarks and short cuts better so it could be a setting is not right for photo colors

Thank you. Several people have said it isn't red. I promise, what I see in the mirror is still dark red.

She wants my hair. Pretty already had hers cut and gave it to her. Pretty right after getting her hair cut to give to our friend. Photo is mine.

@DaddyEvil This is a really special thing for you both to do. Very nice, and I love your hair and the curls.

@MarieCoyle Thank you. I honestly wouldn't have thought of it if she hadn't asked me to grow it out for her.

@DaddyEvil I am telling you my daughter's hair is a lot like yours . . . I showed her your pic and she said YEP! May I ask what brand you use . . . because I went to the store and there were a gazillion of them - I couldn't really decide on which one . I hope your friend can get her wig soon. I didn't realize it would take several donations of hair, but I guess it does need to cover a lot.

@much2say Oops! My mistake... Humectant was the last one Pretty and I tried. The one I'm using now is called Infusium 23 Leave in Moisturizing. It makes it easier to comb and holds up better than the Humectant. We got it at Walmart.

Thank you. Mine only looks like this when it's still damp. After it dries, it starts trying to fly away. I can tame it for a while using Humectant Spray-On, Leave In conditioning spray. But if I fiddle with it or get into too much wind, then it looks like I haven't even combed my hair that day. Our friend normally wears her own hair fairly short, so she said 10 inches will still leave her with 7 inches showing on the scalp. (She asked several other people about donating their hair, too. Somebody told her she'd need several donations for them to make one wig.)

@TheHorse Do you want me to ask if she wants you to grow your hair out for her, too?

It has to be a minimum of ten inches before it can be used as a wig.

@DaddyEvil Will your friend go with salt and pepper?

She's a good friend. I hope she likes wearing the wig she'll have made from it. It still has to grow a lot more before it'll be long enough to make a wig from it. I think the lighting wasn't good enough to show the color right.

@Hannihar The part that gets cut off has to be at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) before it will be long enough to make into a wig. My hair still has a ways to grow first. Yes, I wore it long from the time I was 18 until I was in my 30s.

@DaddyEvil I bet she will appreciate what you want to do for her. How long does it have to be? Have you grown your hair long before?

Thank you. Once I passed my teen years without starting to lose any hair, I quit worrying about going bald. (The brother four years older than me started losing his hair in High School. Now he just has a fringe around his head. ) The oncologist just operated on her, trying to remove the cancer. I hope it works.

@arunima25 Me, too. It's always hard on men to lost their hair. I feel sorry for them.

@DaddyEvil I hope that she recovers fully from cancer and becomes a cancer warrior to inspire others. My husband had a lot of hair and he started loosing hair after his 42 birthday and in last 5 years, he has lost a lot. He is going faster on the path to baldness

Thank you. I appreciate that.

@sharonelton Thank you. You, too.

@DaddyEvil My pleasure. Have a great day.

Thank you. It has to grow a lot more before it will be long enough to cut for a wig. (It has to be 25.4 cm before it can be used for a wig.)

@Hanbinandaeyo I don't want to eat "grow foods". I'm already big enough.

@DaddyEvil I see that.. Then eat more grow foods.. I hope it'll grow very fast

@DaddyEvil thanks for your kindness, I don't like red hair.

Thanks. She's a really good friend. (If you ever need a wig, I'd grow my hair long for you, too. )

@sjvg1976 I understand red hair isn't for everyone.

I didn't know that, thanks.

@rebelann You're welcome.

It has to be at least ten inches long before it can be used to make a wig.

@wolfgirl569 It took me a year to grow mine out as long as you see in the photo.

It's been growing for a year but the stylist said it still isn't long enough for a wig yet. I wonder how your neighbor got it long enough that quickly?

@DaddyEvil His grows very fast. He would cut it in the spring and then not again until tthe next year. In that time it was to his butt

Thank you.

@thelme55 Thank you. You, too.

@DaddyEvil You are welcome. Have a nice weekend.

Our friend just had a second surgery where the oncologist tried again to remove the cancer. I hope it works this time. That's after letting it grow for one year.

@Kandae11 Thank you. We really hope so, too.

@DaddyEvil l hope he is successful this time and your friend is cancer free.

Thanks. It's taken me a year to grow it out that long. Pretty says it will take quite a bit more time for it to reach 10 inches, which is how long it has to be to make it into a wig.

@DocAndersen Pretty donates her hair every few years. When I got my hair cut in January 2021, she had her long hair cut and gave it to our friend for a wig then. Pretty right after donating her hair last January. Photo is mine.

@DaddyEvil that would take me a decade or more to grow. wow!
