...yes, thats right...suicidal. I think i have a "hair omen." it seems EVERY time i try to grow my hair out, something persuades me to cut...well, for the FOURTH straight time...its all gone,that which i slaved over , my beautiful (or, not so..) HAIR...i could write a best-selling horror story just on my BAD hair experience alone....in the most recent episode, it would read something like this:
get home from school, decide to take a nap...i was watching tv and chewing some gum (hmmm you see where this is going?) ahhh i fell asleep, mouthfull wad of gum...and yes, you know what happened, i awake, find a big clump of something RIGHT AT THE TOP of my head, tried just about everything i could think of to get it out, you name it: olive oil, petroleum jelly, tried heating it to get it soft...just made it worse....i stupidly then CUT it out, well seems i cut off a bit too much...big bald gap in the back of my precious hair!!!!!
of course there was panic...i didnt know what to do...so i went to the barber and said...PLEASE CUT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT LOOK OKAY, he said sure....well i get home with about 3/4 inch hair....i cried for hours, this is actually the first time i ahven't been crying. i LOVED my hair. ...now, i am part of the group which i hate the MOST, the shorthair bunch....so all is not lost, ill just regrow the hair, this time taking care of it friom the start.
in positive note...alot of girls have said i look ALOT BETTER with short hair...i guess b/c i;ve been in the akward stage ALL THROUGHOUT highschool...b/c of trims, etc. im starting to get over i guess, just b/c of the '"better" attention i am recieving....ah so now, we go back to the beginning, and lets await the long long months ahead...farewell...Justin Barbier
Well how long was your hair when it was cut? If it was about as long as mine is now (5" bangs) I would feel devastated. I can relate, but you just have to persevere, mate! Don't like that stupid piece of gum steal your long hair dreams away from you! This is exactly why I dont chew gum heh. Cheers.

so about 5.5 inches...but i can start over THE RIGHT WAY...

I am definetly with ya' on the starting over thing, man. That's what makes this hyperboard such a wonderful thing. All the support you find from friends really helps you through the blues. I'm personally starting over from bangs that used to reach down to my chin. I guess I can't say I am completely starting from the start because my bangs currently pull down to my lower nose. My hair is somewhat screwed up in different lengths right now, but in about a year and a half to two I'll get it straightened out. Maybe...
Don't despair, man. It'll definetly grow back in due time. Keep It Long!
If the gum thing happens again, try a little WD-40. I know, it sounds harsh, but if it gets gum out of carpet, it just might work for hair, too. (Just be sure to have a wet-vac handy if you use it for carpet!) :)
The next time you get gum in your hair, use ICE to get it out. Works like a charm!
