We're the ones with the halo's, duh!

Tbear started an interesting thread on her halo on the Mane Board, so here's a poll to see how many of us share that strange and etherial halo of short, wispy hairs around the crown which persist and wave proudly, no matter how carefully one cares for one's hair.

Yup, i'm an angel. Or a troll doll, if you're looking at 6am.

:silly: or :wannabe:

Yep, Halo Queen here! :)

ETA: fixed picture link and to add that I have horns sometimes, too! ;)

ROFLMAO . . . and someone has voted that we are FRIZZY FREAKS! hahahaahahahahaha I love it! ;)

I put no but I want one, I don't think my hair is long enough yet for a halo :wail:. So if I am not an angel does that make me a :twisted:?

I voted that y'all are frizzy freaks! Muahahaha! Well, okay, that's just the jealousy talking. My hair doesn't really like to defy gravity much.:twisted:

I don't even have a halo; it's more like a fringe. I get these little short things that stick out. When I'd put my hair into a ponytail and braid that, it was only a couple little whispies in front that a lot of people choose to leave out anyway. But since I started just braiding it without the ponytail first, I have all these little bits that used to be held by the ponytail band and now aren't long enough for the braid to secure them, and they don't stick out or up but just hang down and make me look very messy...I haven't a clue what causes them.

I don't get a halo. I get short little wingdings that stick out from the sides of my head. :nono:

I'm an angel :wannabe:

I voted angel and proud but in reality, I have a love/hate relationship with my halo. Sometimes it looks okay, sometimes it makes me look like the wicked witch of the west.

Rhiannon, you can have a halo with short hair. Any curly can get it at almost any length. I did not have a halo when I shaved my head. I didn't shave the whole thing...but in the place it was shaved, no halo.

Well, I have a little bit of halo, but I always use lots of leave in to tame it
Guess that makes me a :twisted:

i am definately and ANGEL but sometimes my halo does look like horns. :twisted:
my halo from last spring has grown out (6-7" now) and a new one has taken its place. can't wait until it is sticking up all over the place!

Well I have to say, I do have
these wispies thing going on!!!
Funny, I didn't have them when
I had my hair straightened and
it actually made my face look heavier
because my hair was SO close to my
face......so, in a weird kind of way,
I welcome back those wildies! :ohmy:

I don't know how to vote. I have one, don't hate it or resent it but I control it at all times.

Ummm, can't you see my horns in my avatar pic??? I have both horns AND a halo. What exactly does that make me??? :grnbiggri

I have a halo; of course I do. Doesn't everyone? It takes a while before new and shorter hairs grow long enough to join in the stream, and is just more pronounced in those with curls. But I think we all have some sort of a halo, unless our hair is not regrowing. It is an honest thing about hair and can be a lovely thing, to my eyes.

My hair has a good number of dark ember-colored hairs that are curly ringlets. When these hairs grow anew, they *really* stick out of my otherwise gently wavy hair. When I see them, I think of my grandmother's curls and the dark waves of other members of my family. It is nice.

I said yes and don't particularly care. I feel it's just part of having long hair. There will always be new hairs growing in. We wouldn't want them NOT to grow in again would we? :) If it gets out of hand sometimes I smooth on a little aloe vera gel mixed with Phyto 9 or Biosilk.

Speaking of Angels I've had both Farrah's hair and Jacklyn's hair do's. Talk about high maintainance! I'm glad those days are gone. But damn I looked good with Jacklyn's hair style.

yup, I have a halo. It doesn't usually bother me unless the longer wispies get in my face when it's windy out.

Eh - halo propped up by horns - what else would be expected from my hair?
:grnbiggri
Look at all the grey!
LOL

I have a bit of a halo, but it seems mostly the gray ones. I assumed it's just because the texture is different.

No halo for me, at least not yet. I do have wings, though, when I pull my hair back. They're easily tamed, though, by arranging them into little curlies in front of my ears.

Y'know, I voted "Yes and don't care" but I think I was a little unclear on the concept. My short hairs stick out along my braids and buns, and in front of my ears and on my neck, but not really around the top of my head. So I think I should have been a "no".
In Japan, the small baby hairs growing on the forehead hairline are considered a beauty trait. They stroke them down onto the forehead so they will show up well.

Oh yeah, I have one. In fact when I got to work this morning and looked in the mirror it was scary. :scared:

It had been raining and I had the length of my hair stuck in my jacket. But the hair outside of my jacket looked like I had stuck my finger in an electrical socket! I know I voted I have one and don't care, but let me tell you, this morning :bigeyes: I was runnin' to the restroom, comb in hand to get my halo under control.

I do kinda like those horns. :twisted:

Ummm, can't you see my horns in my avatar pic??? I have both horns AND a halo. What exactly does that make me??? :grnbiggri

Normal!! :D :lol: :ohmy:

I have one, and I guess i like it cos it proves I'm still a curly/wavy in there somewhere. Right now it's getting longer, but not long enough to GO anywhere tucked in. I don't notice it for ages and then suddenly it's all grown out and I look scalped. At the moment, any growth is good growth and it's nice to see something growing after all the shed.

Good Morning Charlie!! ;)

Ahhhh, another lovely halo!!!!! ;) Maybe this can be one of our "styles for the week"! hahahahaahahaha Everyone showing off their halos! What do you think??? ;)

my hair is too straight. I just get frizzies that hang straight down into my eyes :ponder: and make me :cry:

Angel here! Can you have curly hair and not have a halo??

I have a halo; of course I do. Doesn't everyone? It takes a while before new and shorter hairs grow long enough to join in the stream, and is just more pronounced in those with curls. But I think we all have some sort of a halo, unless our hair is not regrowing. It is an honest thing about hair and can be a lovely thing, to my eyes.

Hmm, well, no, at least I don't have a halo. When new strands of my hair are short, they just grow in flat. Rare it is that any should stand out, and that usually indicates a restless night. But those are easily swept smooth with one swipe of the palm of my hand. Done. Even the hair at the nape of my neck is super straight.

My hair is so so so so so so so so stick straight and has absolutely, utterly no inherent body, so no halo for me. No horns, either. Just ol' me...

Jennifer Eve

Actually, I have devil horns.

Twin cowlicks; one on each temple.

Mhmm. :evil: Mwahahahahaaaaa.

They're not as bad as my mom's, though. Of course, that's probably because she's growing out bangs, and mine are just wispies. I remember when I had bangs...

I didn't have a halo for a long time, but over the past couple of months I have developed one, and it makes me happy. :cloud9:

Halo here for sure. Voted "Good Morning Charlie" :grin:

I do put a leave in to help tame it but it is always there, but that is a sign of growing hair :inlove:

I have a halo of short hairs over my crown, but not naturally. They are new hairs that are growing in to replace the hair I've pulled out during trich-trances. They're the same thickness, and sometimes thicker than my other hair, and they look like I have my hands on one of those static electricity balls. I hate them and want to pull them out, but then I'd have more bald spots. I have to wait for them to grow!

I'm fighting trichotillomania, for those who don't know why I would've pulled out my own hair.

I usually conceal them by trick-combing. First I put my hair up to cover the spot. Then I take a wet comb and comb from the front hairline to the ponytail/bun/whatever. Then I do the same thing from my temples back over the top. The short hairs on top are tucked under the longer hairs from the temples.

Grow, hair, grow!

HoiLei.

Oh yeah, Charlie! Halo girl here! Specially on a rainy day..

Oy. I hate it, but I'm trying to work with it. It's just a sign that my hair has wave/curl, I guess. :?

Y'all are frizzy freaks! Ha ha ha!! :wink:

Well, I did pick that, but I'm just kidding. You're not freaks.

I don't have a halo, but I *did* aeons ago when I was using a horrible cheap disgusting Denman-knockoff brush (Denmans are good, but this was JUNK) and it broke *so* many hairs around my hairline ... I had major halo effect.

But obviously that's not the same kind of halo we're talking about here.

I already have devil horns, they're just invisible ... usually. :twisted:

Yes, I am an ANGEL also!! I am very proud of my halo now but there was a time I thought I had to flat iron my hair all the time to keep it under control. There are days (maybe 1 or 2, mostly in the super-humid months of the summer) that I look and the mirror and want to scream in fear for my mini-fro. But its all good:smile:

Yes, I wish I had the "Charlie's Angels" body to go with my halo, too! :lol: I lived in the CA desert, and I never had a halo until I moved to the south. All this humidity! :rolleyes: Sometimes I think I'm in the Brazilian rain forest, and I have super frizz :silly: just like the photos you see of baby monkeys with their hair poking up. :lol:

I dont really know. All of my hair is kinda frizzy and it grows straight up, so there aren't any bits that stick up farther than any others.

i'm an angel...sometimes i look like an owl, tho....lol.

75% of the time my halo drives me nuts. I grew my hair out to keep it out of my eyes. And, of course all the baby hairs get in my eyes and drive me nuts. One of my friends has been convinced that my frizzy halo is a sign of damage and breakage until I pointed out to her that my hair really is quite curly/wavy close to my scalp, that all those ends are pointy and not blunt, and no matter what gel or spray I could use, it will NEVER lay smooth.

But there are days where I like the softness that my halo can impart on my updos. And, recently I've learned how to separate some of the baby hairs around my face and dampen & scrunch them into little face framing curls.

Yes I am. When my hair is in a braid or ponytail and it gets wet all my halo hair gets all in to curls and ringlets.
My mom is always saying it's not fair that I got it and she doesn't.

Always had it :grin:
I call it "halo de belleza" (halo of beauty), and this was supposed to be sarcastic, but I came to not dislike it so much with time ;)

I wouldn't say I am proud, but in fact I kind of like it, I voted that I don't particularly care. It is not that I am adoring my halo in the mirror all the time, hehe.

Well, my attitude is somewhere between "don't care" and "hate it." I have a big shed every fall, and then a ton of frizzy growth in the winter. By the summer, it looks much better, but then fall rolls around again... SIGH. It is certainly better than it used to be since I started taking much better care of my hair. But to be honest, I wish that it didn't stick STRAIGHT UP or STRAIGHT OUT sometimes. Because it does. A bit of aloe gel works on it pretty well, but who wants to slap gel on all the time? So, I pretend I don't care and just move along. But the truth is I do care and if I could get rid of the problem magically, I would.

How's that for a totally nonstraight answer? :lol:

Speedy

Where's the cheese option?!? :wail:

I get halo's and horns. Just depends on the day.

Sometimes- my hair even decides it's going to be good and not go all halo/horny on me.
Yes- I said my hair is horny. :twisted:

Yep...i have a slight halo on most days. Gets really really bad when im out in the light rain, im indiffrent to it, as i have come to the conclusion it isnt going anywhere. But it looks rather bad on the rainy days sometimes...

My hair loves it's halo, it thinks that it lets everyone think that it is angelic, when at times it can be just a little devil! :twisted: LOL

I voted that I don't care, because the most times I don't. Now if someone could tell me what to do about the Celtic knots that my hair gets, thats another matter.:rolleyes:

I have a lot of hairs that are about 6-7 inches long all over my entire head. Does anyone know how to tell whether they are new hairs or broken hairs? Someone told me that new hairs will have a tapered end, which mine look like they do. So I hope they are new! I also have sort of a mini-fro thing going on all over my entire head, which I have always had. Back when I had thick wavy, frizzy hair I had it even more, but now that my hair is fine and straighter than it was, I still have the fro! What's up with that???

Not to much of a halo, I don't even worry about it....Some devil horns would be nice....:rockerdud

Yes, and I'm proud to be an angel!
I never used to like it and used gallons of hairspray to glue it down, but in the past few years I've discovered that a little water makes it lie down and form little ringlets.

No halo here, I've got devil's horns! :twisted: Really! Because my hair is straight, the short hair stick out, no cute curly halo. I have a large patch of new hair growing in on both sides of my forhead, and when they stick up, mom calls them "owl tufts" :rolleyes: I call them horns. :rockerdud

I have a serious halo and I'm trying very hard to pretend it's new growth, rather than breakage and strands with a much shorter terminal length. Now that I take better care of my hair, parts of it form ringlets, which make my updos look more natural. I think a halo helps 'soften' my harsh facial features, and I'd probably learn to love it if it weren't so frizzy most of the time!

No, and I'm glad! Y'all are frizzy freaks.
LOL
I sometimes wear an angel disguise, but I'm all devil! :twisted:

When it's humid, I have a slight halo, even though my hair is really short.

Oh yeah, Charlie! Halo girl here! Specially on a rainy day..

My halo goes big on rainy days as well:grin: I do love my halo, think it looks cute. I have seen a lot of people with no halo around but they're usually the straighties any wavy or curly head would get some kind of an halo I think...

Yes I have a halo on some days, others no. It mainly depends on the humidity in the air. The more water in the air, the bigger my halo may be. A "case sensitive" angel, if you will.

I lived in the CA desert, and I never had a halo until I moved to the south. All this humidity! :rolleyes: Sometimes I think I'm in the Brazilian rain forest, and I have super frizz :silly: just like the photos you see of baby monkeys with their hair poking up. :lol:Yep, that's the good ol' hot, muggy, sticky, sweaty south! I like my hair, but honestly my halo drives me kooky! Some of them are baby hairs and some are broken hairs from wearing a ponytail I'm sure. As a matter of fact, I think I could put the halo itself into a pony!:silly:

My best & only defense is to use hairspray (which I normally dislike)-- I spray it on my hands and rub them together, then smooth down the halo.....:shake:

I voted Hate/Resent/Fight,:rolleyes: but, I am now trying to work with my very frizzy halo:silly:.(Lots of Aloe Gel).:ponder:

I have a halo, all right. Luckily, some are actually new growth rather than broken tresses from my old, neglectful ways. Hey, I'll take comfort where I can! ;)

This photo was taken on the best hair day of my entire life. that's why there's no halo. I usually don't care about the halo, but a few drops of water or oil help a lot.

I don't normally get a halo, just a few annoying curls that refuse to be tamed.
