i had really long hair until the beginning of this summer.. but it was too hot, and one day i just decided to shave it all off with some clippers.. i couldn't find a guard, so i basically shaved it down to the skin. It's a lot cooler in the hot weather, and now its like an inch long and it looks more normal. The point is, whoever was talking about it just being hair above, it's true. It's just hair, man.
