I'm sure similar situations happen to long hair lovers every day! Just this weekend I went to pick up a pizza in my neighborhood. A girl with brunette hair in a bun came out from behind the counter. She was leaving to make a delivery. She pulls out the banana clip and waited for her hair to fall. Didn't even shake her head......just waited. After it tumbled I smiled & said to her "WOW beautiful hair"

She grinned from ear to ear as she went to make her delivery. I ALWAYS politley compliment long haired women.At the very least...it may prevent some of them from cutting it !

About 23 years ago I complimented a long haired girl ! Guess what?

I married her! Still happily married & her hair is still LONG!!!!!

It's a hard life! A very HARD life!
