Yes

DS has super long hair - down past his waist - and yes, that's son and waist! It's so curly that his ponytail only falls just past his shoulder blades. The jealousy-inducing part is that it falls naturally in tight sausage curls that would be the envy of every Victorian Era female ever born. They're certainly the envy of his sister! He's currently viewing some pretty impressive hairstyle changes. He wants to keep it "long," but even if he takes off a foot, he'll still have close to that much left! I really like the stylish looks he's considering, but I have to admit that I'll miss the long curls. He actually lets me play with them!
When he finally gets it "done," I'll be sure to get before and after pictures. I can post them ... then go hide and cry ... but just a little bit!

That's already the plan! I jokingly said he could donate it to me ... There's enough there for an entire wig! I often wish my hair was as thick and curly, but I'm not that lucky. He gets it from my mother. In her old childhood pictures, she and her little sister looked like twin Tiny Tears dolls - long, fuzzy, pale blond sausage curls down to their waists. They HATED it! Mom still does. She keeps it short and straightens it. When we were kids, she wore it in a classic Baltimore Beehive. Right before she went to have it redone, she would wash it - then brush it out so we could all laugh at her full afro (she's a naturally blonde, hazel-eyed, Irish Lass, but had hair Jimi Hendrix & Tito Jackson would have envied!) I wish I had a photo, but she wouldn't let us take one. Still, the picture in my mind is gorgeous! I remember it looking like a halo of sunshine and couldn't understand why she wouldn't leave it that way ... she was horrified at the very thought!

My nephew is a childhood leukemia survivor. We're all hooked up! Thanks!

Oh, it will grow back. Trust me.
.....says the one with the exact same hair type. That "short" pony tail weighs a ton when it's wet!

I know exactly why she was horrified.
My kiddo has the same hair as my mom, thin and straight. No one knows where my hair came from because no one in my family has anything like it. Jokes about the milk man were very common in family gatherings when talking about me.

It's about that nightmare time in many lives, 'teenagerhood', when however one looks, it's just wrong. I had curly hair, when straight was the thing. Hated it! Picture those huge rollers overnight!
Finally, actual adulthood arrived, and my plan changed to 'just cut it and I'll manage'. It does what it does, and it's the color it wants to be, easy.

My hair used to be curly now it’s only wavy if I don’t wash it. I miss my curls!

Exactly! Oh if I only had a dime for every tear I shed over my hair in those years, lol. Wearing it long, long, loooong was the only way I could manage it. Wash, wear, blow-dry, pull straight with curling iron, slap a few hair ties in it, done. Two shoulder surgeries later, can't do it any more, cut it. Easy maintenance, yes. My hair and I now have an uneasy truce. It does what it wants to do..... and I just don't look at it!

Mine was curly, and then it became wavy - BYE
