I grow 80 ft of hair a day!

well, obviously not all on one strand. but do the math. You have between 50,000-70,000 hairs on your head, so to simplify, lets use 64,000 hairs. At 1/2" growth a month that would be about 1/64" a day which is 1,000" a day total. This amounts to about 80ft a day. I hope this encourages you that your hair is making progress even if it dosent look like it. Wayne

  That means I shed 80 feet of hair a day, which is longer than our house. Now I know why its floors are perpetually covered in hairballs!

      We had a block meeting at our house, and a lady who sat next to me accused us of having a cat that was giving her an allergic reaction. I said, "Well, we don't have a cat, but I have as much hair as a cat, and maybe it would help if you didn't sit right next to me!"

        I remember reading about Violet Jessop and her amazing adventures aboard the Titanic, Olympic, and Britannic. She said that when the Britannic was sinking, she went into the water from one of the lifeboats and smashed her head on the keel of the ship. Her extra thick head of hair managed to protect her from a deadly injury, even though she suffered a slight fracture she was rescued from the water and didn't realize the fracture until years later during a doctor's visit.

        I fell once and tore some ligaments in my leg. I couldn't walk. Hell, I couldn't even get up. Bystanders called the paramedics and they were surprised they could not find any sign of where I hit the sidewalk. It was on the left side of my head a bit above my ear, but I felt no pain there, and there were no abrasions. The place of impact was protected by my hair and several folds of a bandanna.
        It took two months for my leg to completely heal, but my head was fine.

        Another excellent reason for having lots of hair on your head. I imagine Nature intended that way - as added protection for a very important part of your body. It protects the head from the sun and from knocks.
        It makes the people who insist that short hair is more sensible look even more silly! ;)
