What do you put in your hair?
-
Occasionally, I'll put a pen or pencil in my hair to hold while working in the lab. This seems mostly normal to me. Then I read this story about an inmate who tried to hide pills in his hair.
Hiding pills in his hair
It got me thinking, what other things have people put in their hair to hold? Does anyone else put pens/pencils in their hair? -
Definitely pens and pencils. Sometimes if I don't have a clip or ponytail I'll use a chip clip.
Yesterday the little girl I nanny for wanted me to be a beautiful princess so not only did she put a fancy (and I mean fancy) tiara in my hair, but she also put one of those old slap bracelets around my ponytail holder....that was interesting. But let me tell you...I think I was the most beautiful princess:wink:
I've used sticks to hold my hair back. You have to be inventive when you are forgetful and your hair is having a party and the ponytails and clips weren't invited! -
wooden chopsticks, pens, pencils, eyeliner/lipliner pencils, rubber bands, binder clips, make up brushes, the pressure gage for my tires, paper clips, a clean meat thermometer once even when I was cooking...
I'll pretty much use anything clean.... -
Cate, I think your employer's efforts to keep their daughter from becoming a girly girl are failing miserably. You can't keep a good princess down.

PurpleRules: Loved your comment!...lol
How true! -
PurpleRules: I definitely agree with you! She gets girlier and girlier every day. She is fascinated with my lip gloss (maybe because I have 13 in my purse) and always wants to carry my purse when we go out. It's all too funny!
And she is sharp a tack, smart ....who knows maybe one day she'll be a be Beauty Brain! (Her brother reads math theory and chemistry books for fun and knows more than me:sad: She picks up on everything he talks about....he's 9) -
I could never master that pencil trick. My college roommate used to whip her hair into a bun and just stick a pencil in it and BAM! Hair done. Mine has never stayed up without the help of many bobby pins and clips.
-
I'm with Sassette. My friend looks sooo glam when all she does is use a pen/pencil. My hair will only stay up if it's extremely dry or dirty.
but wow.. smuggling pills in your hair..
i wonder if prisoners smuggle razors in their hair.. i watched a documentary on a level 4 prison once, and they were sticking knives and other weapons up their back doors.. ouchh! -
Actually, girls at my high school used to weave razors into their hair. That way if they got in a fight and some girl pulled their hair... well, it got messy. (I went to a pretty crappy high school.)
-
My hair is too fine to use pencils. It barely stays up when I use barrettes and bobby pins so obviously smuggling drugs is right out of the question. Wouldn't razors cut through the hair? I'd think they'd be more of a hazard to the one wearing them than anyone else.
-
Ha! The girls at my school did the razor trick too.
My hair is super fine, but I almost always have a pen or pencil through my ponytail. I'm a freelance artist, and I use Micron pens a lot, and I once caught myself trying to stick multiple pens in my hair. Ooops! -
I used to work on a pedi/adol psych unit, where I needed to have a pen on me all the time because we couldn't leave groups of kids alone to go grab a pen. It was easiest to carry them with me in my hair, but I often ended up with multiple pens in my hair because I just stuck them there out of habit. I think my record was 4, much to the amusement of the kids...

LoL! My hair is kind of thin, I think I can only fit 3 in at once. I just know that one day one of them is going to explode and I'll end up walking around with a purple or blue scalp. -
I did the old pen-in-the-hair trick for the last time when the pen broke in my hair. I had a deep purple streak across the back of my blonde hair for months before it finally faded away with normal daily washings. Now, I'll do pencils, hairsticks, hair forks, clips, just about anything, but NO PENS!

the weirdest thing to end up in my hair, was flytrap goo. got it there when i was playing with the big bouncy ball in the house, and the ball smacked off the ceiling hook, and hit me on top of my head. mom was washing my hair for what seemed like hours. but the weirdest thing to end up in my sister's hair ...
was my hamster. years ago, i had a hamster. he loved to escape and roam the house. besides getting stuck in the inground bathtub dounstairs, he loved going into my sister's room, down the hall from mine. on three seperate occaisons, my sister woke up screaming with a hamster tangled in her hair. she still liked the hamster, but she'd feak out if it went anywhere near her head. -
Sariel--now that is really odd. My hamster liked my hair too!
-
That's a riot! :bigsmile:
-
I almost to had wear a big wad of Bubble Yum in my hair when I was caught chewing it. But I basically told the nun, well you can fill that in. :P
-
My cat used to love my hair. I'd wake up with her chewing on it.
-
MoxieHart--that is funny. The new family I work for have 3 cats, 3 dogs, and 6 kids...woah. Anyway, their little kitten loves it when I bend down to pick him up because he goes straight for my hair. Very cute!
-
Damn! That's 12 bits of craziness running around, I hope they pay you well.
Awww, so cute. I miss having pets. -
MoxieHart--you should see the house at about 5:30.....that is when the craziness begins...it's the bewitching hour..and yes I am compensated rather well ;)
Howdy, Stranger!
