Nice. Makes me miss my hair. I had an 18" pony tail when it was all held back, before I lost my job. Wife had me cut it off for job hunt purposes....feeling them southern folk wouldn't take kindly to none of them northern, hippy folk.
Here's me and my wife at the prom back in '81. And it is all natural. Even the sistuhs wanted to be feelin' up on my hair! Cut it all off though when I started my own business that same year.
Hahaha, man I know all about that! Many times at fast food drive throughs and gas stations the african american ladies would go crazy about it, asking to touch it and getting their friends to view the spectacle. Sure gets me into plenty of pleasant casual conversations. Dunno how many times I've used the ole standby joke about it being my warm winter hat. Here's an old pic of my hair but it is probably a tad longer now.
