Re: Itching after helmet removal?

[Guest guest]

Sydney pulled out her hair too, but i don't think it had anything to

do with the band or it coming off. She loves to rub my hair, and

sometimes she would get her own and just pull. Especially if I try to

put clips in or something. Sydney has this funny hair - not curly, not

straight, so it is always somewhat of a mess. I tried for a long time

to put clips and bands in it, but when she pulled them out (after 5

mins max) more hair came too, so I gave up. Now she has a lot more

hair, but I just cut it in a short bob, so I don't have to use any

clips. She looks like a bit of a wild woman, but cute. Sydney's part

african american, so her hair is part AA too.
