hair
 
we moved here to edmonton 3 months ago and ive been to the hairdressers twice, both times to different ones. first time i had a longish bob and just had it trimmed, he asked abt BANDS and i said no, though wondered why h wanted to know if i wore a headband?
yesterday went for a restyle to very short and again was asked abt a BAND ? why was she asking, i wouldnt wear a headband in very short spikey hair,
so i asked her what she meant
apparently a band is a fringe ?????? thats canadian for you

Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Unfortunately I can't seem to grow any on top these days. :p:rofl::rofl::rofl:
