My hair grows at a very fast rate. In some ways, it's a good thing, for example, when the person who cut my hair was one of those folks who graduated from cosmetology school with a D average. I have had a few of those in the past. In some ways, it's not so great. In high school, when every other kid was growing the mullet, I was ending up with an afro. It was the 80's and my hair was ten years out of date. My hair doesn't grow long as much as it grows thick with odd curls. Mom always thought it was cute, but she was hardly unbiased.
After work, I was tired of trying to control the mop and went to get it cut. I felt like I was sheered like sheep, but it is what I asked for. It is awfully short, but I have to admit, I like the low upkeep.. and I can comb it. Still, like the "Rose is Rose" cartoon above, it does seem to make one's head look bigger.

But then that was the early 80's, well much of the 80's was about the big hair thang anyhow. :-)
