Fantasia: LOL! I have nearly waist-length hair, and you're right -- it's HEAVY! I cut almost two feet off right before I graduated from college, and for days, every time I turned my head, I about gave myself whiplash. My braid weighs about half a pound on the postal scale, two pounds when wet. Needless to say, I always weigh before a shower . When I was about a pound above goal weight, my fiance told me just to cut my hair off, and I'd be there!

Of course, I don't think my hair weighs quite that much after my big weight-loss shedding bout. Those of you who have lost hair after losing weight will know what I mean, but it's a lot worse when each hair is two feet long!
