I couldn't say for certain. I was able to read your post and really thought it was quite interesting. I had a somewhat similar experience while in the Philippines.

As for your previous post, I am guessing that a moderator probably deleted it because it was determined to be "Off Topic." In other words, it wasn't specifically about or pertaining to long hair.

Just a guess, but like I said, I for one enjoyed the information you shared. Thank you.
