Crazy Hair

Icon-A-Day for April 1, 2016

This icon actually has a story behind it. About 10 years ago I decided to grow my hair out long. I had never really tried to do it before and I knew my hair was curly when it got longer but had no idea how curly. After months and months of growing it, expecting it to eventually lay down, it didn't. It just kept growing bigger. When I show people a photo of my hair, they think it's a wig, but it's not. It's all real. Of course this avatar is a bit of an exaggeration for the sake of humor, but it's not completely off-the-mark.

Feelings were very strong (and still are) about my hair at that time. I have more-or-less always been clean cut (but rarely clean-shaven). I had one friend who would get mad every time he saw me. I think I loved it even more because of that.
