An article by Susan Orlean, that inspired the movie Blue Crush (with pre-SupermanMan Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez before getting shot). Of course, Adaptation, inspired by another of her articles is much better but The Orchid Thief is better read in book form...

The Maui Surfer Girls, by Susan Orlean

The Maui surfer girls love each other's hair. It is awesome hair, long and bleached by the sun, and it falls over their shoulders straight, like water, or in squiggles, like seaweed, or in waves. They are forever playing with it — yanking it up into ponytails, or twisting handfuls and securing them with chopsticks or pencils, or dividing it as carefully as you would divide a pile of coins and then weaving it into tight yellow plaits.
