hair

When I was about three, I once heard my mom telling someone she was getting a perm and I thought a perm was some creature made of tangled hair and brains that lived in a dank green lagoon somewhere.

When i was little i belived that my dads stubble (on his face) was made up of little men inside his head pushing needles threw his face...lol!!

I live next door to a family of 7. The two youngest in the family were 2 and 4 years old. The 2 year old saw me after I had gotten a haircut and said "Daniel, your hair's all gone!". I questioned her a bit, and it turned out that she thought that boys hair never grew, and that it was only girls who had to get haircuts. I set her straight, then walked inside the house and burst out laughing.

I believed that if you ate a piece of your own hair, a new strand of hair would grow on your head.

When I was little, my dad told me that I had 'really bad cowlicks' I misheard him and thought he said 'callics' and I decided that callics was a disease; so I asked him one day if I already had my callics vaccinations.

When I was little my mom had blonde hair and my dad had black. So, I thought everybody who had blonde hair was a girl and everybody who had black hair was a guy. Anybody who had any other hair color was an alien.

When I was little I USED to THINK that hair grows by the ends.

I used to think that if I pulled all my hair out, I would look like Colonel Klink (Hogans Heroes)

I have naturally blonde hair but I also have red and dark blonde in it. When I was in 6th grade I'd play with my hair in class and one day I found a dark black hair! I was mortified, I didn't want to lose my blonde hair so I examined all the hair I could and yanked out all the black ones thinking they wouldn't grow back.

I used to think that mustaches were just really long nose hairs.

Brian

When I was little I used to think that my hair could feel. I remember having long arguments about it with my sister.

When I was a little kid, my dad's beard had hairs that were several shades of brown, as well as some dark blond. I couldn't figure out what color it really was and somehow decided that it was green. Whenever we drew pictures of our families in kindergarten, I would always draw my dad with a green beard.

when i was little i used to think the wind would make my hair blow off so every time i went out i would tell the people looking after me to hold my hair on

I used to believe that if and when you got your hair cut it would all bleed

I have a cowlick right in the middle of my hairline in the front. Anytime I had bangs I looked ridiculous (my mom kept my hair short - GRRRRRRRR). She told me that if I cut it off that it would grow STRAIGHT OUT no matter how long it got. Till I was about 25 I used to tell all my hairdressers "Watch out! I have a cowlick in the front!"

When I was a kid I had some really difficult curly hairs that would get tangled 5 minutes after they were brushed (still do). I loved cows, so my mom told me that little cows were walking around on those hairs and tangling them. We affectionately called them my 'cow hairs'.

My mum has always had short hair. For some reason this led me to think that only little girls could have long hair.

I was taking a shower with my mom when I was about 6. I asked her "Why do you have hair down there?" She said "When you are older, you will have hair down there too." I didn't believe her. I just laughed and said "Yeah, right".

My daughter, now 12, confessed the other day that when she was "little," she thought some people were born with bangs and others were not. She said she felt bad for her friend, Kristin, because she "couldn't have bangs." I asked her when she figured out bangs were a hair style and not a genetic thing. "Probably when Kristin showed up in first grade with bangs," she replied.
