hair

When i was 3 or 4, my reliable freind explained to me that blonde people and ginger people were an evil race of alien invaders that couldn't quite get the "proper" hair colour right on their human disguises (me and my freind both had brown hair).
I always cower in abject terror every time my blonde "human" teacher talks to me...

Aaaaaarrgh! Ginger!

When i was younger about 9 or 10 this guy told me that if i shaved my pubic hair i would bleed forever so when i started to grow pubic hair i never shaved it even though i didnt like it there i didnt find out different till i saw my older sister shaving hers and i asked her why she isnt bleeding and she explained the whole think to me

when i was a child my father told me his mustache was ticklish so I wouldn't really tickle him. I believed him until i was 10.

When I was about 4 or 5 my twin sister would put a pair of pants or tights on her head and go around the house remarking, "Look at my curly hair." I saw her doing this and I wanted to have "curly hair" too, but I tried and tried and I just couldn't imitate her technique. I was fustrated at the time, but today I am happy I couldn't put the pants on my head since my sister is still tormented till this day about her fashion statement. :D

I use to believe that the hair on your head was the same colour as pubic hair

When I was little i shaved my legs (I was a hairy child). I used Nair, the cream that makes the hair fall off, my mom told me never to use it on my arms. I was fully convinced if i did, i would get sick and die. I finally got over it at 14

I used to think that all boys had short hair and all girls had long hair, since that is typical.

When my sister was really little (even though she is only two years younger than me), she had short hair, which looked very boyish, so I was surprised when my dad told me that she was a girl.

I used to think that if you dyed your hair you didn't have to bleach it and it will stay your desired color forever

when I was little, I saw that my father had less hair, and he explained to me that we lose hair and that as we age. As a result, I lost a hair on my bird, and I thought that in 30 years I would go bald like my father. So every birthday, I would look at myself in the mirror to see how much hair I had lost. Now, I didn't think about it because when I go to the hairdresser, I don't want to cut my hair but she explained to me that it was wrong

Until I was about 12 I used to believe that girls could get hairballs and choke from sucking on their hair.

When i was 5 or 6 my Mom and Grandma told me that the longer your hair was in water the longer it would grow. I would set in the tub with my head under the fauset forever anxiously waiting for my hair to grow long and beatiful. My hair was very long (not from the water) so i thought it was working.I told my cousin, who was 4 and had short hair, why my hair was so long and she would come over and me would sit in the tub with our little swim suits on waiting for our hair to grow. My mom and my aunt soon got annoyed with the obsesive hair and water deal so they said it dosnt work but we didnt believe them so they had only 1 choice. they told us that if you have too much water in your hair our hair would fall out. We freaked out and we would always scream in horrer when our moms tried giving us a bath. So we stoped taking baths for a while.

I used to put hair grease on my arms and legs when I was younger, and I believed/ and still do, that the hair grease made the hair on my arms and legs grow.

I really liked Sailor Moon as a child and I wanted long,blonde hair like her.I also hated tomatoes.So my parents made me believe that if I eat tomatoes,my hair will grow faster.

well... when I was around 6 or 7 years old I used to believe that only men had hair that grew on their bodies. Imagine
my surprise when at age 10 or 11 some other kids I was playing with, in thicket near a small creek (no pun intended), unearthed a worn "nudie" magazine they kept buried ! I thought the crotch areas of the ladies were smudged with dirt, at first. That was when the bubble bursted and my reality changed to accomodate this new information. This was in the early 70's when the hippie culture was in full bloom and being "natural" (hirsute in a hair suit) was "in". But I never liked it because it shocked me from what I had imagined prior to that, was the norm... that women were smooth as babies all over except the eyebrows, eye lashes and luxurious heads of hair. I am so glad that the trend toward women shaving down there and elsewhere has become "in fashion".

When I was young I strongly believed that white people SHOULD NOT shave off all their hair or they would die. It was because I had never seen a bold-headed white person before, I saw very little of white paople then.

when i was little i thought that hair was forgotten thoughts and people with lots of hair were forgetful and my uncle who is bald never forgot anything i thought this til i was 12

Bald people conduct electricity better.
One day I tested my theory...

When i was around 5, my hair used to be braided into many long plaits(that i was very proud of !) that my friends at kindergarten would try to count. I always believed that by counting my plaits, my hair would fall off and up to this day i still believe that.

My hair is chin-length now

Iused to belive that my dad was bald becouse he burnt it of evry day. i was stupid.
