QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Why does a man's hair appear to be more gray when he cuts it extremely short than it does when he lets it grow out an inch or two?

  1. I would postulate that the light entering the end of the short hair diffuses the light and thus makes the hair glow. Longer hair positions the cut end of the hair away from the direct light (due to it lying flat), thus appearing less brilliant, or darker.

  2. Why don't someone tell me why they fall off (or move to my back)? I have less than half I started with 43 yrs ago!

  3. OK, here's the deal, Brian....

    Brett and I were talking last night. He gave me a wrong phone number that was disconnected over a year ago. He couldn't believe he did that. I assured him that he did. We determined it must be the age thing going on. I told him how a little kindergarten student in the school where I used to work once told me I looked exactly like him grandma - and I was only 37 years old at the time, therefore, I dyed my hair blonde that same night. So, Brett starts wondering why his hair looks more gray when it is shorter than when he lets it grow out...

    I told him that one of our brilliant classmates would know the answer to that and that I would gather opinions and get back to him.

    Perhaps you had to be there.

    I was quite the deep and moving conversation....

  4. I decided to go with a bootcamp style cut to see what would happen. Turns out, it just looks shorter and irriates the wife. I like it because it is 100% maintenance free!
