catch on fire?

[Heidi]

Dear friends,

Do we usually say "my hair caught on fire?"

Thank you!

I hope we don't have to say it very often. But that is the proper way.

Is it the same as saying "my hair was on fire" or "my hair caught fire"?

The proper way for me is my hair caught fire.

First, your hair catches fire, then, your hair is on fire. That's the only difference between the sentences, I reckon.
