My father's hair

I recalled a time during Winter break - I forgot whether of 2012 or 2013 - when I was at home. Now that I am writing, I think it was probably happened in 2013. Father, mother and I were talking about my long hair, which I grew out in the summer of 2013.

My hair was coarse, the end visibly brown from bleaching. I said I got the traits from mother. Father's hair was thinner. I brushed my palm on his head.

My father's hair was soft. It felt soft and oily, but with the right amount of oil.
