Long-haired guests

2008 April 9

I’m anglo-saxon through and through. I’ve got short, fine, straight fair hair. I don’t think that I lose much hair because when I clean my floors, I don’t seem to come across much. Now, I live in Spain and am lucky enough to have good friends who come to visit regularly. Which is great but more than half have long, dark, curly hair. And I love ‘em but the reminders of their visits turn up on my broom for weeks afterwards. There’s something about hairs that bugs me deeply. I reckon it springs from my sister’s struggle with alopecia. At the age of fourteen, she lost all her hair and we, of course, found most of it around the house. Her hair’s never grown back, btw.
