Fics like With his long hair, as ragged as rain and black as thunder...

There was a post on Tumblr about 19th Century hair-care, and how it involved an awful lot of brushing. This then got me thinking about Childermass and his long hair, and how having your hair brushed can be a very intimate thing because I don't have a kink, and how it fitted with my headcanons about him having massive attachment and trust issues regarding intimacy. And then this happened: five scenes from childhood to shortly after the magical restoration, in which John Childermass has his hair groomed.
