[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 495342, member: 1233"] Lisa, I know exactly what you are talking about. My boys get it from both sides. My husband's aunt has some funny stories about catching him and holding him down to get his hair washed when he was little, and finding bits of hay, etc... in it later even if he hadn't been unsupervised for a second. My gma told us ALL about how my dad's hair would MILDEW in the summer because it never got really dry (they lived a football field from the area pool). Just before Thanksgiving thank you had 3 inches cut off and you mostly couldn't tell anything had been done except it looked neater. There was enough curly hair on the floor to crochet a cat. If/when the scalp issues get severe, he gets clipped. If he can keep on top of it, well, it isn't MY head that itches. If he was getting sent to the office for suspicion of lice each day due to scratching his head so much, we would have his hair cut like the brush cut, but he is now 12 and in my opinion this is just like hats/mufflers/coats on cold days. I am not itching, or cold so he has to make his choices and live with them. I just thought this was a pretty good way to help minimize a sensory problem that a physical condtion was making more challenging and that maybe it would spark ideas in someone else. [/QUOTE]
