currious, where the origin or being called a toehead comes from. When I was a kid, one called me a toehead due to my white like hair.

I just found and answer to all of our questions. Towhead actually means this: a small child who is very blond, almost flaxen or pale yellow. "tow" has been for centuries used to describe flax or hemp prepared for spinning. They say that hair looks like rumpled flax before spinning.

Uh, that's "towhead", Daymond. And it's not a dis, in case your were worrying. :) It means that some folks with an old-fashioned vocabulary are admiring your daughter's very blond hair.

The descriptive term for the opposite condition here in Hookworm Heaven is "blackheaded". After 25 years of hearing that, my initial reaction is still to suggest a good dermatologist.
