The pain!

[andrewducker]

One of the things I had on my nwe to-do list was "sort hair". The problem with my hair is that it tangles incredibly easily. This, combined with a scalp that gets sore very easily, means that if I get a knot in my hair it's very painful to get out. Which tends to lead to postponement of the disentanglement. Which means that it'll knot further, making it more painful, so I leave it for longer.

So I spent two hours getting most of it out on Saturday, before going out. This got it down to an invisible level. Then an hour yesterday. And today, it's taken about 3 hours of intermittent untangling, tugging and pulling to get the last of it out.

Ow. Ow. Ow.

Mustn't do that again.

There's a yellow bottle of stuff called Johnson's No More Tangles which my kids use. I'm not sure the effect isn't mostly psychological, but they seem to like it.

CUT YOUR HAIR!

I alway thought you looked better with short hair.

Or get it straightened - bet that would look good too!

Looks good when you wear it in a pony tail too.

Cut it all off, man. It's not worth the hassle. :-)

Are you conditioning religiously?

You have my total sympathy. You know what my hair was like (pretty similar but with possibly a higher pain threshold!).

My eventual solution was to cut it all off. Don't think that'd work for you - wrong shape of face.
