@cinemagic Yes, I do. So back in the day when I was a sophomore in highschool, I went through a phase where I didn’t cut my hair for a year and a half which is another story in itself. Anyways, I decided to join Marching Band that year and as a requirement for our uniforms we needed to wear helmets (which were really more of fancy hats with plumes). Since we needed to look pretty, the dress code was that any hair sticking out needed to be stuffed in the helmet. Well, mine was so thick, that it wouldn’t stay in there by itself. Before every single competition and performance the color guard would spend at least 15 minutes arranging my hair in all sorts of manners with 3 dozen bobby pins. It always took my twice as long to get them all out and even then I’d go home and pull out three or four more and usually lost a couple in the helmet. Finally I had amassed this collection of 20 ought pins that I could never get rid of and would spring up every time I opened my uniform bag.
