No, what have your experiences with your hair been?
spk_0
Well, my hair when I was born, I was bald.
spk_0
I'm pretty sure everyone's always been bald when they were born, except

I did my hair grew and I grew it out so it got long.
spk_0
But then I'd always cut it short.
spk_0
But then like recently, I haven't been cutting me short.
spk_0
But then really recently, I cut it shortish and now it's longish.
spk_0
Because it grew out a little bit.
spk_0
Very nice, very nice.
