Hair in unsual places
Apr 21^st, 2005 at 6:26pm

As some of you have already experienced, long hair can find itself in some "strange" places. As I was trying to pull my hair out of a sock that I was knitting and had knit the hair in, was was thinking about other situations where my hair has found itself. Here's my list:

Caught in car doors and windows (I've learned to make sure it is always secured before getting into or out of a car).

Rolled up into car seat belts (Again - I've learned the hard way that loose hair in a car is not good).

Knit into socks, scarves, hats and sweaters. (Hey - it's a natural fiber, I just tell the recipient that it adds character and warmth!)

Caught in the pulleys of my compound bow. (You'd think I'd have learned from the seat belts Roll Eyes

)

Under hubby's feet. (I had been looking for something on the floor and he MOVED - stepping on my hair).

In a stranger's drink. My hair was in a braid, and when I turned quickly, the braid landed in his beer. Tongue

Caught on a button - and not my own!

Caught in a zipper (my own, but hard to explain why it took me 30 minutes in the restroom).

I'm sure I'll think of others - how about you?

Interesting topic! I get hair stuck everywhere because I shed like MAAAAD Grin

I have an incredibly fast growth rate but also an incredibly fast shed rate. Expect to see me tapered at tailbone length if I don't trim.

my throat (not pleasant)
wound in between the toes
sleeves of shirts while I'm wearing them
they become hair bunnies on the carpet
car door (of course)
backpack straps, occasionally

gosh, it's hard to TRY think of them! Wink

Give it a little and I'll edit this post later Wink

In the litterbox--Rumpole the cat likes to eat my hair when it's freshly washed. Before I started braiding my hair at night, he'd sneak up behind me, wrap his paws around my head and bite into my hair as though my head was an apple. He's a shoe-sniffer, too. He's Mama's little fetishist Grin

I've also gotten it caught in seat belts, purse straps, the beaded trim of a pair of sandals (don't ask), and the refrigerator door.

Wow, BB, I've never knit my hair into anything before! (at least, not yet...)
Once, I was braiding someone's hair which was the exact same color as my own, and I almost started braiding my hair into hers.

The other day I caught it in the seat-belt hardware (the pulley thing where it comes out of the wall of the car).

Sometimes I put my hair over the back of my chair, and lean the chair back against the wall or something, and hair is stuck b/t chair and wall.

It gets caught in the backs of our ladderback kitchen chairs.

I put my loose hair outside for them to use in nest building. I have a bird's nest made almost entirely out of horse hair. 8) I'll be watching for the accidental catches in "strange" places as my hair gets long enough to find itself where I don't want it

I also like to give the birds the little clippings of wool yarn I have after finishing a project. I have the most colorful nests in my area!
