Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I was involved in college atheletics. Long hair was the norm, but atheletes had hair length requirements. I had long hair, but to hide it, some girls in the dorms would braid it for me and I always wore a hat to keep it hidden. It eventually drove me crazy, impossible to keep clean, itching, and the hours getting it braided up again so the coaches wouldn't hassle me. I guess I was making a statement by refusing to cut my hair, thought I was outsmarting the coaches, whatever. It must have impacted my psyche, because I shaved my head and have kept it that way most of the time. Aside from the occasional comment about resembling a serial killer, it was and has been much more comfortable. Comb it with a towel, off and running. bahahahaha
