Gimme' a Head With Hair! Long, Beautiful Hair!!

Tell your life story: poem, fiction, or creative-non-fiction involving three instances of hair. Could be your hair, or anyone else's hair, but it has to involve hair – three times!! Like that time when you were 6 and you cut off all your own hair, and you had to live with this chopped up mess on your head until it grew in? Or when your best friend got gum stuck in her hair and while trying to help her get it out, your hair got tangled up in the sticky mess too? Of course, it doesn't have to be THAT dramatic, it could simply be a poetic musing about a warm spring breeze caressing your winter-stale hair. (What is this, National Hair Month??)

So there you have it, life story – three instances involving hair – maximum 400 words.

Think hair and go get 'em!!!
