The problem with the racist hair wank...
is that most people, on hearing the word "hair", will be seized with an uncontrollable urge to talk about their own hair. Only this theory can explain some of the comments on FW. They're not callous to racial concerns, they just want to enlighten you about the time someone asked to touch their blonde hair, or their struggles to find the right type of hairspray for their fine brunette curls.

Full disclosure here. I have very, very curly light-brown/blonde hair.

Rly? In what forms? I am totally hair-casual--I wash it every night and that's it. Sometimes I think about brushing it.

Eat it, it's not just good for your hair. Wakame in miso soup, and dried sheets around rice. I'll make a mental note to add some seaweed to your Pocky. :D

\o/ \o/ \o/!

There is a store over on the way to the train station that sells various Japanese food product; I should swing over there some time and look for stuff that is Good for Me to snack on.

There's some that comes cut into small strips in small packages. When my son composes a snack for himself, it will usually be strips of dried seaweed (nori), with dried bonito shavings, and small dried whole sardines. Of course, his hair is perfect. and also of course, that may have more to do with being seven than eating seaweed.

I got my first ones at 11 or 12--junior high-ish, or maybe a few earlier. Now it's a long way from dominant, but pretty noticable. Runs in the family very strongly.

I'm the odd one out in my family. At 27 I only have a few grey hairs.

My Dad was completely grey by the time he was 25
My Mum has been dying her hair as long as I can remember
My sister has huge chunks of grey
My brother has a very noticible silver sprinkling all over his hair, so does my cousin

I'm sure if I was to ask the rest of my extended family I'd see more of the same.

I'm now imagining you as a sort of Lupin (BUT WITH LESS FAIL!)
