-> >LL>Contrary to popular belief, hair does not continue to grow once a
-> >LL>head has been chopped off.  The appearance is due to the head
-> >LL>shrinking, rather than the hair continuing to grow.  Kind of eerie,
-> >LL>as a shrunken head was on display at a Ripley's Believe It Or Not
-> >LL>museum I visited in Tennessee some years ago.
-> 
-> RH>All true.  Were you planning on decapitating a teenager or two?
-> RH>I hope not, tempting as it may be sometimes.
-> 
-> Pre-teens can be worse.  Especially when playing with a computer.
-> Sometimes requiring a complete re-install.  Child-proofing a computer
-> does not work with today's kids.  But then, I was a kid once.  And
-> I always wanted to see what I could do with a new toy.  So, I'm not
-> really mad when I have to do a complete re-install.  In fact, I can
-> probably do it in my sleep, having the routine down pat.  :)
-> 
I've never had a pre-teen, but have been one.  The kids may well
adult-proof a computer before you manage to child-proof one. 

-> >LL>That's what Britney Spears found out, after having shaved her head.
-> 
-> RH>She even found out what her natural hair color was.  I know some
women
-> RH>who've been dyeing their hair for so many years that no one knows
what it
-> RH>really looks like.
-> 
-> Hair also changes color over time.  Also, hair is different in summer
-> and winter.  The type of shampoo one uses also affects how hair looks
-> and feels.  Dyeing one's hair can also leave permanent effects.  For
-> example, one of my friends had a nice, thick, dark beard.  One day he
-> decided to play Santa Claus and dyed his hair white.  After Christmas,
-> he shaved his beard so it would grow back to its natural dark color.
-> However, his beard came out mostly gray, as well as the hair on the
-> top of his head.  Really shocked the pee out of him.  :)

Heh heh heh.  Got what he asked for, in other words.  I don't think that
was the dye; it was just age.  
 
-> RH>Natural brown, in that case.  I kind of liked her with her head
shaved,
-> RH>come to that.
-> 
-> In the first Star Trek movie the leading actress had a shaved head,
-> and started a fashion trend.  Fortunately, that fashion trend did not
-> last long.  :)

Persis Khambata?  She was a Bollywood actress if memory serves.  It was
kind of a clubby, disco look so unless you're African American and sick of
the quest for "good hair" (smooth and straight) it wasn't bound to stick
around for long.
 
 
-> I have a cousin who never had the problem of his hair going gray.
-> Rather, the hair on the top of his head kept disappearing from sight.
-> He tried in vain to hide that fact as much as possible, constantly
-> using a comb to rearrange his hair.  By his early 30's, he realized
-> the battle was futile, and decided to take a razor and eliminate
-> what little was left on his scalp.  He never bothered to get a wig.
-> 
The Cueball cut.  I have a couple of friends who've done that. Bald is less
aging than a bad combover.
