My hair used to be to my ankles and thick, I cut that darn thing off,

I used to work with a lady who could sit on hers and she said it took all day to dry let alone as long as yours. It must have looked beautiful though.

Yes it’s such an attractive look....and their hair!! I am green with envy at the long jet black hair most of them have! Beautiful. I watched Dances with Wolves again not that long ago and the character “Wind in His Hair”....he could make a lot of money In shampoo commercials

Yes, my mates wife had hers short but it was still striking with her features. Her daughter kept it long and lets just say when she walked in a room every bloke noticed!

One guy I knew years ago and sometimes went drinking with had an Egyptian wife and her hair was also long, black and beautiful with her features.

I used to watch it and laugh.

You know where that term “Pomgolian” comes from? I’ve only ever heard that in Australia.

[Phill2]

No idea
I thought I made it up

[AntsyVee]

Well, it means British, right?

[Phill2]

Yep
Brits are called Pommies down here.
I have no idea why - maybe someone can enlighten me?

It's Australian slang for an immigrant from Great Britain. The best-documented of these is that "Pommy" originated as a contraction of "pomegranate". According to this explanation, "pomegranate" was Australian rhyming slang for "immigrant" ("Jimmy Grant").

Hi Terry, my hair took all-day dry, I would go through two bottles of shampoo every time I washed it and it took all day to brush as well. I did have some beautiful hair, my elder family members were upset I cut it as traditionally the only time a Native cuts their hair is if they are in mourning. I always wanted to visit London, and Australia and Ireland, perhaps one of these days.
