Tom: Hey, Joel, you got your hair cut.

Joel: You can notice that. I don't have much hair left. You can see that it got cut.

Tom: Yeah, why don't you grow it out?

Joel: Actually, you can't notice right now cause it's cut so short but my hair's curly, so if I let it, and I'm bald on top now, so if grow it out I look like Bozo the clown.

Tom: Did you have long hair before?

Joel: Actually in college I had long hair. I grew it out pretty long and then, you know, my hair is really blond. I don't know if you can tell now. It's gotten a little bit darker, but it was down to my shoulders and really curly.

Tom: Wow.

Joel: Yeah.

Tom: When did you start losing it?

Joel: I noticed sort of at the end of college, when I had long hair, because it didn't grow nearly as long in the front. I always wanted it to be really even: long in the front and back, but it was, it grew much faster and much thicker in the back than in the front.

Tom: So when it's all gone, are you going to start combing it over?

Joel: No, I don't want to have the come over. I, actually, my wife likes bald heads, so I'm lucky, so I just cut it really short.

Joel: It's funny though. When I was really young, well when I was born, I was bald until I was maybe one years old or so, and I had very thin white straight hair, so it was perfectly straight, until I was about 13 years old, and as soon as I hit puberty, & quot;booing & quot;! My hair suddenly got curly, so as a self-conscience young adolescent, that was a but of a shocking experience for my hair to go from straight to curly almost overnight. Yeah.
