[quote=I_Wear_Pants]The body likes routine. That's why damage is interpreted as pain; it's not normal, so that seemed a good way for the brain to process the sensation. That's why there are addictions; the body goes, "I need this!" and the brain is programmed to crave it.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]yeah, that’s your scalp reprogramming itself. it took a year in college for my hair to adjust to less products/washing. but i’m so glad i did it[/quote]

So often you hear, “don’t wash your hair!” and by that I mean don’t use any products.

When I try that, my scalp feels likes it’s trying to crawl off my head![/font][/quote]

[quote=I_Wear_Pants]Yeah all I do with my hair is shampoo it. It's fine on its own. The only times I've had anything in my hair that wasn't shampoo or conditioner was when I was on stage, and that was usually just gel and a bit of spray. I've never felt a need to alter any part of my hair than its length.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=SpelingError]Now that we're sort of on the subject, do you guys prefer to keep your hair short or long?[/quote]
I had long hair for many of my early adult years, mostly because we were poor and it's cheaper to just let it grow and never get it properly cut. :D 

But I had it short through most of my teen years (it's very thick), and I knew it was easier to manage. So about 10-15 years ago I went back to short hair (and also stopped coloring it). Now it's shorter, still thick, and takes about 3-4 minutes to blow dry. And that's all I do with it. I use an all-natural shampoo bar each morning, and that's it. No conditioner, no "product," no hairspray. Just that shampoo bar, and a quick blow-dry, and I don't have to think about it the rest of the day.

I am clearly a low-maintenance gal. :D[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][quote=John McClane]long hair is a pain to manage, but it also says to the world “i put in the time”[/quote]

[font=lucida sans unicode]When I grew out my uninspiring beard I learned that it takes more time than shaving. The mustache that has to be trimmed down and scissored adds to this.[/font][/quote]

Unless you’re my best friend who has luscious knee-length hair, never styles it, only uses cheap drugstore shampoo and always looks like a million bucks. Although I suppose there’s the time it takes to comb it.[/quote]it’s the time to grow it, i mean. growing it is the hard part[/quote]

Yeah. That makes sense. Never mind me, I’m mentally incapacitated by my migraine so I keep talking gibberish.[/quote]
