Oh, yikes! I’m sure that Ben and Andrew didn’t take it into consideration when they wrote those up. This brings up a point though- there’s a disproportionately large number of feelgoodies about hair.

Did you change shampoos?
Well, I don’t think you’re having a bad hair day!

Which brings up some other things….

How many are there? How often do they get changed?

Hmmmmmm…..things to ponder.

EDIT The answer is, um, no

They want to elope with me. I think that might be child abuse, or incest or permitted only by the French.

And they said they don’t think I’m having a bad hair day and I clearly am!

Can anyone find the question that started the contest that triggered the winners that added the compliments that made peedub more famous that generated this quip?

@oasis – maybe Fluther really likes your eyelashes?

Alopecia can go away, I believe, so that this might not be appropriate for you today, but it could sometime in the future.

gailcalled's avatar

Alopecia is, unfortunately, an equal opportunity hair destroyer. No eyelashes, brows, beard, peach fuzz, etc. If you are female (rarer) at least, you don’t have to shave your legs. Alopecia produces the same results as chemo, except when chemo is finished, everything grows back. (hi, Susan)

You’re saying hair doesn’t grow back? I think it depends on the cause. I know someone who had it, and then her hair did grow back.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Maybe it’s time to do away with these little sayings. They’re obviously not appropiate for everyone.

gailcalled's avatar

The few people whom I know with alopecia still have it. But then, if someone regrew all the hair, I wouldn’t notice.

IBERnineD's avatar

I’m sure they didn’t mean it in a way to hurt your feelings.

gailcalled's avatar

Re; Alopecia; there are various degrees of severity, from some patchy loss of hair to complete hardboiled egginess. The more severe the case, the less likely the chances of regeneration. But skfinkel is right. Sometimes the hair does grow back.
