A steadfast husband's lament: I'd give any worldly possession for my wife to go rapunzel. Over the decades I've learned so much about hair care and braiding, supplied products, adornments and accessories. I would take such joy and pride in sharing in the care for her crowning glory. Outstanding hair for an outstanding woman. And the clock ticks. Half an inch a month. The salon is a brutal place. We ain't getting any younger.
