I wish I could blame something for my hair.
Maybe it belongs to someone else, and I got the wrong hair in the celestial lottery.
It has always been troublesome, disobedient, and unimpressive.

This may be useless to anyone with long hair... but I stick my head under the tap of the tub with hot water... rub all my hair till it's good and wet... maybe wash it with some shampoo since I'm going to the trouble to wash it... then quick rub with a towel and brush... let it air dry... The wife rolls her eyes at me because she has to blow dry her hair and brush it and it's way more complicated...


I find as long as you heat the hair up with hot water you can brush out any creases left by the head gear. Think of it like steaming out the wrinkles...

Restwell,

That works for me, but my long hair seems to be sliding back on my head. Any tips on stopping that ?

Can't help with that... I've lost maybe half an inch making my forehead a bit bigger I guess... I'm honestly not sure.

My dad had thin hair, my grandfather on my Dad's side was flat out bald... but my abuelo grandfather on my Mom's side had to get a buzz cut every month till he passed away... I did start getting white hair when I was 8 but I've always had a thick top coat.

Once you have experienced them under the control of an idiot, you will never be a fan.

palerider- Duct tape? Superglue? Hadn't considered either, but I do have both... hmmm.............. :idea:

Gryphon- I hear ya man, my dad had a full head of hair. And I didn't starting getting white/grey hair till my 50's which was a long while ago.

Dog Slobber- no thank you kindly, nature is taking care of that faster than I would like.

chunkyfrog - I agree with you. Aaaaaaack!

I get it all the time with mine. Lucky it is also a beard that can be quickly washed like Enigmas'.

Gramps has been taking 1 mg generic finasteride daily for probably 30 years. Seems to work - he still has a nice head of hair.

I often look at my hair and think to myself, man that's a fair amount. Too bad, it's when I'm looking in the sink.
