I cannot imagine how a ponytail could be cooler than the breeze against my scalp and the moisture evaporating directly into the air.

Neck-touching hair is okay with me, but I can't stand it on my face. Mine's well down on my shoulders and back. I'd love to get it cut, but I'm afraid it would be back to two inches or nothing. I love the ease of care when it's that short, but keeping it cut and shaped is a commitment, and then there's always the moment when I miss feeling my hair *move* in a breeze, or when I turn my head. Why can't we have knobs in the back of our heads so we can crank our hair back in short, or grow it out long in a couple of turns of the knob?

ita, I know you've found a good infuser for work (and I've sort of fallen in love with the one Perkins posted) but I have a couple-three of these. There is some color-staining over time, but no flavor retention. They're dishwasher safe but we usually rinse in hot water and air-dry and they're good to go. Plus, no great loss if one goes astray. They're pretty good at keeping the small bits of leaf, too.

I have the feeling the grey hairs will grab onto the color less than the brown hairs will, so I might end up with a highlighted look without paying for it.

This has not been my experience.

Different heads are likely different. I am more comfortable in a ponytail, I can understand Liese's desire to have long hair for the summer.

I haven't lived anywhere warm enough to never want my hair keeping my neck warm. I can always go for a ponytail when it is hot enough.

But physics doesn't vary that much. The less insulated your head is, the easier it is to dissipate heat through your scalp. The desire to have longer hair for the summer might be based on a bunch of things, but rapid rate of cooling over v. short hair I doubt will stand up to experimentation.

Not that physics should be the primo reason for anyone to style their locks.

I wonder why it's only really black women cutting their hair micro short. I guess I don't have to worry about it looking downy. But outside of Eve Salvail, Natalie Portman and Pope-ripper, short short just means different things across racial boundaries.

Wait, what was the name of that Asian chick that all the Hollywood straight women sleep with?

Joan Chen?

Joan Chen?

They should be so lucky!

Actually, the chick in question is pretty hot. If memory serves, she might have slept with Angelina Jolie. She was Sam Ronson before Sam Ronson was Sam Ronson, if you know whadda mean.

Not sure how to google that at work.

Wikipedia is your friend.

While on a break from Miller prior to their wedding, Jolie was involved in a brief relationship with her Foxfire (1996) co-star Jenny Shimizu.

Oh that model! Um...

YES, Tom got it.
