Does anybody else feel like they're going to go bald with the hair their fid pulls out? Ducati loves to be on my head and he'll preen my hair, but inevitably he will pull some hair out. Doesn't really bother me any, I just think it's funny. I am trying to get him to stop pulling at the hair. Had to stop putting product in my hair because I worry with him preening it and having product in it would be bad for him. Which is also fine by me as I've never been one to seriously fix my hair (blow dry, brush, maybe straighten and go).
 
My hair is short, and for it to not look absolutely awful I HAVE TO use hair products. I think about that, so they do it sometimes, but I don't let them do it all the time and for a long time.
 
I have very long hair (like I can sit on it long). I usually wear it up in a bun, and Kiwi likes to play with the hair clip. When I have my hair in a braid, he so kindly removes the hair tie and un-braids it for me (which usually results in knots in it:eek:). I don't use anything in my hair, so he's safe to preen it, but I don't care know how much I care for him to be lurking in back of my head messing with my hair:52:

Mine recently got 12 in chopped off so it's shoulder length now. It's usually up in a ponytail. It's really fine so it breaks or comes out easier when he preens it. I joke with my husband all the time that he's going to make me bald lol. I don't usually use any product in my hair, but I had started trying to help get some volume. Maybe once he stops pulling it out every time he's on my head I'll start again.
 
I don't let PB on my head, but recently she's picked up a new interest on my shoulder: Snipping my hair in half and then playing with the strands. :eek: It's shoulder length as well and I've been trying to decide whether to grow it out or cut it short. Perhaps PB is trying to help with my decision... :p

Scout, my male IRN loves to be on my head but he is not really one to preen my hair so much as swing from it as I walk around the house. I don't use hair products often, but I would be concerned if I had a heavy preener. Maybe certain natural products could be use.

I'm glad I had it cut to shoulder length. It was almost down to my bum before. I got tired of the cat trying to eat it (Guess all my pets want to eat my hair :30:), the dogs stepping on it.

SilverSage that image is cracking me up. I'm just picturing him swinging from your hair. I'll have to look around for natural stuff if I can't convince him to stop. We at least need to stop pulling out mom's hair lol.
 
Our GCC loves to preen hubby's beard, and if she thinks a hair is out of place she will pluck it out. He does not enjoy this :p

I can imagine that doesn't feel very good lol. Ducati is more of a momma's boy. He'll go to my husband every now and then. He's never aggressive towards anybody, he just prefers mom. I'm trying to get my husband to do more with him.
 
I have long curly hair, and Mojo tries to play in it and will hang onto it rather than me. Most of the time I rescue him before he gets too wrapped up in it. He'll also preen my bf's bread, but not too much preening on me. He loves the top of my head but we're working on him not being allowed there. :)
