Hair...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair

Flow it, show it

Long as God can grow it

My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy

Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty

Oily, greasy, fleecy

Shining, gleaming, streaming

Flaxen, waxen

Knotted, polka-dotted

Twisted, beaded, braided

Powdered, flowered, and confettied

Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see

My eyes if you can

Then my hair's too short

lyrics from the musical HAIR

My boy has very definite ideas about his hair. He likes it long most of the time. Hair's just hair, and a safe and reversible way for him to express himself. So, he decides.

This week, he started guitar lessons. He has an electric guitar and a band in his future...so he says. But, his hair got in the way of seeing the strings so he decided to have it cut today.

But it'll only stay short until he no longer has to watch the strings to play...

...and he says the bangs will be long enough shortly to fly around when he does a little head bangin' while he's playing. :)
