This is most definitely an understatement, but hair is very important to me. I love hair. And I don’t just mean I love hair, I LOVE HAIR! Most of the time I love my own hair: long, thick, straight, silky smooth, and blonde. (Of course, it’s not naturally blonde, but what does that matter?) Aside from it not cooperating worth a damn because it’s very fine as well, I have to say it’s my favorite physical attribute. Personally, I don’t care much if other people see it that way, but in my own little world, I’m very happy with it. I think if I ever went bald, I’d be traumatized.

In other people, I find hair to be one of the things I’m very attracted to as well. At the risk of sounding a little creepy, I think little girls with long hair are one of the most beautiful things in the world. (No, not in a sick way you perv–in the way that an artist sees beauty in anything in her surroundings, regardless of what it happens to be.) This is probably because I was never allowed to have long hair when I was young and I’m projecting a little: looking at them and wondering what it would have been like if I’d had hair like that when I was little. Yet another thing I was deprived of as a child.

Aside from girls with long hair, there’s nothing I find more beautiful than a guy with big poofy Einstein-looking hair. I don’t know exactly how this came to be, but all I know is that I have a “thing” for mad scientist ‘do’s: hair that is wavy or curly, that stands out in any which direction, creating a disheveled “I just woke up” kind of look; the kind of hair that I could get lost in for days if I ran my fingers through it. And that’s exactly what I do…when permitted, of course. :-) My first boyfriend had a great head of hair, with just the right amount of poofiness. One of my favorite things about being with him was being able to give him head massages and just losing myself in that mass of hair! (My second boyfriend had pretty average hair: thick, brown, and clean, but alas, no poofiness to it.)

One thing I look forward to in a relationship is being able to play with my guy’s hair. :-D My current interest has just the perfect mix of curl and poof that makes it irresistible. I’m very excited.
