I just moved to Denver. I'm looking for a good stylist. A quick glance through the yellow pages didn't reveal anyone advertising that they specialize in long hair. Does anyone know of a good stylist here who understands the needs of those with long hair?

I have seen these but don't know were to buy them.

It is a silver hair clip that is about an inch long and 1/2 to 1/3 inches in diameter and have very cool designs on them. If anone knows were i can buy them or even the name of them drop me a line

Was in a book store when I heard a girl say to another employee "Hey when are you going to cut your hair" The man answered "If I decide to, I will but that will be my decision" The girl then said "I was only kidding with you and don't you cut it if you don't want to, it's your hair" He smiled at her and said " You are so right" She smiled real big and that was that. She had long hair to her waist,was dark brown,very pretty and probably a true longhaired person. If we kidd each other, let's make it known that we are just kidding!! Possibly we could speak in the plus state, Hey when are you going to make 24" ect. something other than the negative. Randall

Okay, okay, its been a while since I've fired off my mouth about something on this board. But anyway, I just wanted to take the time and tell all you long hairs and long hair supporters out there to have a very joyous and safe new year. Also lets send a 'mo hair peaze' new years' wish into the world to grow out that God-awful 90s shag carpet cut and get long hair a little more acceptable -- not just for vanity's sake, but I'm sure there are many men who would care to breathe a little easier by looking they way want to look and to feel like they have a say in the hair fashion world.

Take care all,

Chaeya

I love long hair; I am a medical doctor with shoulder lenght hair; I would like grow it more but I am afraid that my patients don't accept my long hair; please give me an opinion

Thought about it a long time before going to the style shop and went on in after work. Told him remove just 1/2" and he did that(fuzzy ends) and it looks pretty good. Now it's in a better state for growing out. Asked about one problem on my neck and he said " that's just the wave in which is natural and if you grow it longer it will be easier to straighten out". Nearly fell out of the chair when he said that, giving advice which included growing it out!. Figure some one would yell grab him and let's shave him. It was a neet trip to the style shop and I felt good about how it went. Had the haircut jitters all day for nothing! When starting to leave a nasty looking woman was taking her daughter in there(very long blond hair, nice) and I left before that dasterdly deed started. The females here are going for the butch hairdo, YUK!

I thought I posted this before but noticed it was not posted. In any even, here goes again.

I had the experience of trying out for a local rotary show with my 15 year old daughter in the "Sound of Music". My daughter sort of convinced me. I got up spontaniously (sp) and sang Edalevice(spP and thought I did pretty good. tonight I went there for the 2nd time and got asked if I wanted to read. Before I could answer, the director which is female asked me in front of the entire cast if I would be willing to cut my hair for the part. I immediately said no and she would not let me read. Instead she simply ended the readings and closed the set. It made me upset but at the time I said nothing. My hair is well past my shoulder blade all one length. I generally wear it in a ponytail or one braid down my back. My goal is to have it long enough to sit on. I simply love wearing my hair long. It will take about two years more growth to get it that long. In any event, my daughter pleaded with me in the car to cut my hair because it was important to her that I be in the play with her i.e. father daugher closeness etc. I really wanted to do that but know if I cut my hair I will regret it after the play is over. I would have to have a ken/attorney haircut and will hate it. I was forced to wear my hair like that as a kid and hated it then. I know I will hate it today. I am flexible about many issues and concerns except my hair. I guess I am asking for support and suggestions? Are there wigs and hairdressers out there that could give the illusion of short ken/attorney type hairstyes and still keep my hair long?

Hi guys!

I love this message board... everyone here is so danged supportive!

Anyway, a few of you might have wanted to know exactly why I cut my hair a couple months ago. Well, I was so close to having my hair back in a ponytail, but everyday Id get a comment from someone criticising my hair. Everyday a comment. ANyway, it finally got to me. SO...snip. The next day he sees me and says "Hey, I was only joking!" Let that be a lesson!!!!!!! I have to admit, tho, I liked my hair short. But I just really miss knowing I was going to have long hair.

So Im growin out again... from a butch. I'll be graduating college Dec. 1999, so Ive got about a year until I have to look for a job in my scraggily hair phase. Luckily Product Designers are usually pretty liberal people, so I shouldnt have too hard of a time getting a job. Still, I cant help but think how long it would be now... about 10 inches! sigh :(

well, Im here again!

An earlier thread was talking about musicians and long hair. Well, I along with many others, was disappointed when Metallica all cut their hair. BUT! On a recent tv appearance I see 2 of them (James Hetfield and Kirk Hammet) are growing their hair long again!

should a guy wear his hair in his face ?
My wife likes my long blond hair, bob style, chin length. I wear this style since 2 years now and I think it's time to change my style. Two years ago my wife asked me to grow my hair long and she told me that long hair on a guy is ok if hair and style is neat and proper. So we decided that I should get a bob style not to long, chin length and chin length for my bangs as well(even the bangs are a little longer).
In the early days of my bob I was very unsafe owing my style.
Essential part for my uncertainty was that my hair endless fall into my face but in the meantime this feeling is usual for me. More than that, I decided to let my hair grow to shoulder length and wear my bangs always into my face (one half) so normally the half of my face is coverd with my hair.
In the opinion of my wife this style is to feminine to wear in public but she loves this style.
What do you think, ist this long bob with bangs into my face to feminine?
Should I wear such a style in public?
What could give my wife more certainty?
Is there someone else with this style?

I read somewhere once that if you massage your scalp for about 10 minutes a day, your hair will grow faster and come in thicker. If anyone has any info on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanx,

Hi,

Im 16 years old and have been growing my hair for a year. I got an undercut shaved. its the type of undercut thats only shaved at the sides but the top is left. I kinda regret getting an undercut and ive been over thinking that if i should shave my head and start from scratch. I also talked to my friend about growing it out, im not sure how many months it could take ta grow it out. Ive started growing out my undercut around march. Is it true that my undercut would soon be equal with the top part of my hair?

it would mean a lot ta me if ya answer my question..

thx a lot and have a good day :c)

Because it is an expression of ourselves and our likes. It feels so good brushing the skin and swirling around ones head and shoulders, it feels nice blowing in the wind, so pretty sparkling in the sun, bouncing when we run, being fondled by whoever and brushing against our face when engaged with our lover. Just that much is enough to get me reved up, ready to go hug someone with long hair. We need hugs and a lot of them, us sweet, kind, gentle, intelligent, creative people who are the best lovers in the world. Please, every day tell someone especially a stranger with long hair that you like it, I tell them I love it and brag on it a bit, they all need support. Oh yes, Tina.... You are a sweet doll. Randall

Thankfully, the nation's current transfixation with personal goings-on in the White House hasn't affected this board. So, in a gentle, nonthreating, and humorous light, I thought I'd post the following URL I ran across while looking for pictures of long hair styles. Enjoy.

To entice you to read the link, here is the first paragraph of the article:

Many men today are wearing their hair long. This style seems to have had its start in modern times by certain musical groups such as the Beatles and others. The hippie movement, which has spread like a plague, has adopted the Long hair style for men. The "Jesus freaks" and other religious hippie cults have taken the long hair road. Unfortunately many men and boys who are not hippies have started to wear their hair in this manner. Many try to justify long hair by stating that Jesus Christ wore long hair. The time has come to set the record straight.

So you want hair like a girl, alright. This might help some of you other clipped poodles growing out your hair as I am.

First of all, from a physiological standpoint, there is absolutly no difference between men and womens hair, it's exactly the same stuff! The reason why men's hair often looks like hell is because they don't know how to take care of it properly. During the growing out phase, guys damage it beyond repair, then it's too late and it will never look good. This is particualarly true if you have the cursed "Northern European Dirty-blonde Wavy Hair" type as I do (but at least I have a lot of it!)

Most of this damage is done by blowdrying and combing or brushing wet hair. Yeah, I know, you want it straighter, so do I but have some patience. Get long enough and the weight will straighten it out, if it's in good condition it will lay down much better.

Here's what's working out extremely well for me during the growing out phase:

1. Kill your blowdryer.

2. Wash your hair daily and use a light dandruff shampoo to keep your scalp in good condition because you will be walking around with wet hair a lot.

3. After washing gently towel dry and then plop in a large glop of "KMS Styling and Setting Gel." I wouldn't use anything else, I've tried plenty of cheap garbage but this stuff works incredibley! Then comb the gel through with a "wide-tooth" comb. Your done!

4. After your hair is completely dry comb it out gently, then brush it thoroughly with a good quality brush. It will come out quite a bit straighter with very few frizzies believe me!

Using this technique I have had zero split ends and far less hair loss, as a result my hair is quite thick with virtually zero damage so far. Thus, I don't really need any trims. When it gets long enough I will go to a professional salon and get it bobbed so it's all one length and then it's on its way down my back.

Good luck guy!

PS if there are any girls out there who have suggestions for me, don't hesitate to add them under this message.

Dawn,

My husband has extremely long hair, so do I and my daughter. We seem to have alot in common. Email me. I would love to talk hair.

I've been growing my hair out now for about 3 years now and its only down to about shoulder length. Im thinking that the problem might have been from not cutting\trimming it for a 1year. But I started trimming it regualry but only a little bit off the ends. So now my hypothesis is that since i did'nt cut it for so long that I now have the split ends so long at the bottom that when I trim it I'm just cutting off some of the split ends and I still have about a half inch of the split ends left on my hair, and thats why my hair isnt growing. PLease help me with my dilema.
Thanx a bunch!

This months Rolling Stone has a small piece on the shorn celebs. Michael Bolton, Lenny Kravitz, and Our favorite, the one we thought would be a mainstay, Anthony Kedis. I think this is a sham. People in their position have a completely independent job and all the opprotunity in the world to grow their hair out and they give it up. Are there any celebrities that make it famous and grow it long?
I have seen on a late night news program a man named John Quinn who, I believe, did the sports and he had a long pony tail. We definitely need more publicity like this.
I am a 20 y/o Drafting and Design college student in Springfield, MO and I have applied for an internship at a local company. I got there and all went well until he said "There is a slimn chance that I could get you by in an internship, but any other capacity it wouldnt work out". My hair is just down to mid back, it was in a pony tail, I had taken out the three earrings in my left ear, and had it perfectly pulled back. To boot I spent $70 on the goobersuit I wore to the interview. Dont get me wrong, if it will make me more money, I will wear a goobersuit, but I do not want to cut my hair.
Later I learned from someone else that for the duration of the internship you dont even touch the computer drafting tools, and all you do it run copies from the office to the production floor! And he also mentioned that he and a coworker tried to grow a goatee and they were told to shave them!
I am venting a bit, but this is plagueing me terribly. I have very little time to decide whether my hair is worth resume experience, 6 credit hours,and $140 a week. Any help would be appreciated, I am in a personal stalemate and am desparate to hear an experienced point of view.

Hi guys,
its been a while since Ive posted here. I was attempting to grow my hair out and you all gave me advice and support. Unfortunately I cut my hair (yikes!). I felt like I let you guys down, so I didnt want to come back here :)

Anyway, its been 4 months and Ive suddenly been struck with the bug AGAIN! So for my 3rd and final EVER time, Im going to try to grow my hair out again. Right now Ive got a butch, so itll be a long painful journey all over again. This is my senior year of college and Ive spent over half of it growing my hair then cutting it! Ugh.

When I first cut it, I felt NO REMORSE. My hair was really dark, and it seemed to block a lot of the sun from my face making me look pretty pale. Plus, My hair was really, really greasy. I followed everybody's advice on washing, conditioning, etc. It was just greasy. Itll be about 8 months before I get to that stage, but maybe someone has some advice so Im ready for when it comes.

Anyway, Im here again. Have pity! :)

-jas

Okay, I know this strays off topic but I just wanted to say
kudos to Bill. I've read his advice on several posts placed here
and visited his site and think it is an amazing piece of work.
Everyone who has more than a physical attachment to their hair should view his pages at least once.
Not putting down other regular contributers like Chaeya. I think all of you people have the utmost of coolness!

take care people.

I have had hair like a girl since 2nd grade. I started with pony tales then moved on to braids. My sister taught me how to braid and I learned from girls at school. By 6th grade I was wearing two braids and got my ears pierced. The first day of 7th grade I had a french braid down to my behind with an extra-fluffy white scrunchy and large sivler hoop earrings.

I think hair like a girl is fine, but you might go to the extreme like me. If you don't care what others say and have some friends whom are open minded than you can go as far as you want. I finally graduated from high school and changed from my big hair look and now dress like an earthy hippy girl with wavy red hair and long wavy skirts to compliment. Good Luck and Girl hair for Boys forever.

There seems to be a sizeable group of us that desire to wear our hear in a feminine style. What I wonder is if it would still be as desirable if it were not so 'forbidden'. If bobs and such were commonly accepted on guys, would it still be as interesting?

Does anyone know of a possible supplement or something that I could take to help me with my stress grays. I'm creeping up on thirty and seem to have more than I wish for. Maybe that's life and I should deal with it but I figured I'd throw this out to see if anyone can help.

I don't know if this is a nationally televised commercial but Yellow Pages has this T.V. commercial stating that you could find anything in 24 hours. I saw one today where they ask this man to become an investment banker in 24 hours. They guy has on overalls and very long, unkept hair. He shops through the Yellow Pages and finds a suit, an attache case and I was wondering what were they going to do about the hair and yep, you guessed it, a barber and the guy is saying "all this is gonna go" as he's getting his hair lopped off. By the end of the commercial he looks like any other corporate guy with short hair. Some message, huh? If that don't beat all, this guy only looks the part, he doesn't have a job as an investment banker, he's just standing in front of a tall building looking the part.

I've been growing my hair for a little over a year (its just a little past my shoulders due to a recent trim) and I plan to grow it mid/high back. I need some info on how to make my hair thinner (you know.. really thin, but not really greasy) because when it is thicker, It makes me look really stupid (Literally stupid, it drops my ICQ by about 50% :)

I'd rather hear some procedures, etc. (hair-routine..) than products, as I simply pick up shampoo/conditioner at the drug store, and dont feel comfortable buying things in salons.

Thanks..

I desperately need help with my hair, it's a total mess! I decided to start growing my hair about a year ago, and my last hair cut was a little over a year ago. I used to get a pretty much regular cut, but with my bangs a few inches long. Well anyway now my hair comes down a little past my face, but like I said it's a mess. I lose hair easily, all the time, and lots of it. My hair never shines at all. Looks dull. I've got billions of tangles and stuff in the back. I shampoo/condition my hair twice a week, but it does no good. Someone please help me I want nice long hair!!!

I'm a 27 year old male, and live in this plastic, shallow place called california. all the guys here have these short "hip" 90's haircuts, and seem to have lots of attention from women. I have almost waist-length naturally curly hair that I take care of, so it usually looks good. I get compliments from women all the time about my hair, but I just don't seem to have the appeal I used to. I mean, I used to get approached by strange women who would tell me they thought I was attractive, and that they loved my hair. Not any more. I'm not looking for a bunch of attention, really, but it would be nice to get some attention, at least. Besides, none of us are getting any younger. Its bad enough that there is no good forum for adults to meet, let alone that I feel like I'm being passed over for "Ken Dolls".

So, I need opinions from the women on this group. Is rock-star length hair still attractive on men, or has society's idea of what is "cool" ruined the concept of being different?

Thanks.

I was wondering if it will ever be accepted in this society of ours that a man can wear a barette or tortoisehell plastic headband? I use it at home but am quite unwilling to use it out on the job, even if I am a painter. Why are men limited to the use of accessories called ponytail holders. To me, barrettes and plastic headbands(small teeth kind) work wonders to keep it out of your face.Women just seem to take these little helpers forgranted which makes me mad. Do you think it will ever come about?

hello,
i just wanted to tell samson that he has given me hope for my hair to reach below my butt again....
like a fool, in march of this year i cut 12 inches off my 42 inch length because i didn't think my hair was thick enough for it's length, i regret that day everyday since! my hair is fine and straight as a pin and in a braid, as in samson's braid it's thick in the begining and very thin towards the bottom.
i think these so called hair sites should recognize that all long hair is valid...not just the blessed thick haired!!!!!!
put some thin very longhaired folks on your sites and give us thin long haired folks some inspiration!!!!!
THANK-YOU SAMSON!!!!!!
ALWAYS LONG VAL

LadyScribe sent me the URL for a page describing whether a potential juror should be excluded because of his long, unkempt hair and beard. Without commenting on it yet, I present it here for discussion.

Cornell University law library discussion on long hair discrimination

My husband and I are the parents of a 3 year. Until now I have kept his hair a bit longer than most of the boys his age--about an inch below shoulders. He has beautiful curly blond hair and I would like to let it grow longer but am afraid this may cause him problems among his day care playmates or friends in the neighborhood. We live in a conservative middle class neighborhood and long hair is certainly not the norm for kids around here. My mother and another close friend have hinted about a haircut for my son. I would like to hear from any parents who may have experienced my situation or any of you who may have had long hair as a child and get your opinions/experiences. I don't want to harm or embarrass my son, but he would be a real cutie with longer hair.

The Republican witch hunt has nothing to do with the performance of the responsibility of office. The sitting president may be dumb regarding sex, but if you prize your own personal freedom speak out.
Otherwise, the thought police will be in your bedroom, in the name of small government, to cut of your hair.

Hello. I have just discovered your site and it seems the best forum to seek advice for my problem. I have been growing my hair for about 12 years and recently I have started to shed like a Persian cat in the middle of summer. I don't mean that I leave a pile of hair each time I sit down but I do see an increasing amount on my very soft hair brush. I have fairly dry hair which hasn't responded to my attempts to moisterize it. I have tried moisterizing shampoos, hot oil treatments, ect. I have not tried pre-natal suppliments but it might come to that. Contrary to Bill's point about shampooing, (chech out his site if you haven't yet. It's worth your time.) I have to clean my hair everyday since I am very active and I couldn't stand not washing it after a workout. I really need some good advice since I don't want to lose any more of my hair.
My question is: have any of you had this problem and what did you do to remedy it? Thank you.

I have shoulder-length hair and over the last year, I've started thinning in the front (I'm 24 and both my parents have fine hair). I can live with the thinning. What is troubling me is the short hairs on my hairline. They're all about .5 to 1 inch long and have been that length for over half a year now. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to get them growing again?

Would trimming the ends help growth? Plucking them out completely to let a new hair start? It's driving me crazy.

I'm a business professional by day but a regular down to earth guy by night. I have requisite short business hair but but I really dig men with long hair. If you're a long haired guy who doesn't mind a regular guy than please send me an e-mail. I live in Boston and would like to hear from anyone near or far.

Thanks. ~Zman

ON THE GAME SHOW NETWORK AT 7:OO EASTERN TIME THERE IS A SHOW CALLED "INQUISITION". THE INQUISITOR ALWAYS HAS HIS BACK TO THE CAMERA, THANKFULLY, SHOWING US A WONDERFUL MANE OF THICK FULL HAIR WHICH IS ALWAYS QUITE NICELY GROOMED. IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT ON CABLE, THIS IS ANOTHER EXCUSE TO GO OUT AND BUY A DSS DISH. HE HAS GROWN IT ABOUT THREE INCHES AND IT LOOKS AS IF THE INTENTION IS TO LET IT CONTINUE TO FLOW. LETS WRITE HIM AND MAKE HIM OUR TV ICON AND POSTER DUDE FOR LONG HAIR GROWTH

Can anyone help me with the name of the haircut that Robin Shou wore in the Mortal Kombat movies? It's sort of a shoulder-length, full, shaggy cut which i think would look adorable on my American Indian looking little boy.

I can't seem to find anyone locally that knows the kind of cut i'm talking about when I try to describe it.

Thanks, guys and keep up the excellent work! I've made this site one of my regulars just in case I can ever help anyone.

Hi everyone,

Stood on my soap box today with a couple of parents. We were talking about hair on children and they expressed that they didn't like long hair on boys because people would confuse them with girls. I told them that I'm not cutting my little boy's hair because people should start paying more attention. They replied that they felt sorry for them because they would get teased. I told them they were going to get teased anyway for something or other. That's why as parents its up to us to enlighten them so they handle themselves against people's ignorance.

Its a shame that we've had nothing but all these posts about hair discrimination lately. I've really become a hair advocate lately, especially for men. I don't find it a frivolous issue though for I feel it's connected to an even greater issue which is we need to stop judging people by the way they look. I have to admit that sad to say I've been guilty of this and a couple of weeks ago had a "come uppance" experience. I was at the gym and there was guy with a shaved head and goatee wearing the real baggy pants with his boxers showing. When I saw him, I immediately thought he was a gang banger or may be a "skinhead". As if hearing my thoughts, he turned to me and smiled really pleasant and said "hi, how are you today?" He had nice eyes. DOH! I think it was God putting me in check and it worked. I've been uttering an affirmation every time I can feel a judgment coming on.

I am 32 and have always had a thing about hair. I always wanted to grow it long, but never had the nerve. At 29 I finally did it. I kept it long until July of this year. It was mid back and I loved it. However, I felt paranoid about how others thought of me. I have always been insecure, and having long hair made it worse. AT the same time, it brought me immense pleasure. It just made me feel incredibly sexy having it long. I am better looking with short hair, but not sure that is as important as being happy having the long hair. When I first cut it, I was thrilled. I did not miss it at all and was very glad to have it short. But after a while, I really started missing it. To complicate matters further, I am an actor in the Chicago area and I was attempting to get more commercial work. The long hair sort of knocks me out of the running for a lot of jobs.

Any words of wisdom and encouragement you guys can give me? I am seriously considering growing it all back -- but it just takes so long!!

My son, who is now six, has had what people call long hair since birth. He has a beautiful thick head of hair that we usually keep cut in a shaggy style with the longest hair (about 2 inches past his shoulders) only in the back. We have gotten many compliments on it in the past, but as you can guess, we have also had our share of complaints, mainly from family and a few bullies in school. My husband actually calls his son a "freak" to his face, and says that I am making a spectacle of my son. When I bring up the fact that I don't care what these few troublemakers think and that it's a personal choice, he says that I should grow up and think about my son instead of myself and quit causing him problems. I have never judged anyone's choices and cannot believe how other people feel that they can force their opinions not only on me, but on a vunerable six year old by humilating him ruthlessly and destroying the self confidence I have tried to build in him. When does standing one's ground become too much of a burden to the child? I really hope I can get some opinions here...I don't know where else to go.

My hair is well past my shoulder blades all one length. I generally wear it in a pony tail or one braid down my back. My 15 year old daughter is trying out for a local Rotary play "The sound of music". I allowed her to convince me to go up on stage last night and sing the Eadlevice (sp). Considering I have never sung that song before and only viewed the movie about three times in my life I didn't sound too bad. With practice I could do really well. I also know I have good stage presence. Tonight when I went to pick up my daughter incidently I drove one hour to do so. In any event I walked in in the middle of reading and was asked if I wanted to read. I hesitated because I wasn't sure Iwanted the part. Before I could answer, I got asked if I would be willing to cut my hair for the part, I immediately said no. Consequently no matter what I said after that the director simply blew me off and ignored the fact that I said over and over that I would be willing to read. I was sort of put out by that experience. On the way home, Ashley my daughter pleaded with me to cut my hair. She said it would be reallyl neat to have a father daughter situation in a local home town play. I know if I cut my hair for this one play , I will hate it after the play is over. It took me over 5 years to grow it. If I don't cut it by next year it will be to my waist and the following year long enough to sit on. I am a dedicated long hair but still would love to be in the play with my daughter. I could possibly get the part of the captain. Are there wigs to make it look like you have short hair for a stage situation? I need some support and suggestions.

I thought I posted this before but noticed it was not posted. In any even, here goes again.

Okay, ready for this one?

For those of you who don't know already, it was reported on Good Day L.A. today that none other than Johnny Carson is growing a ponytail. Must be something if the news is reporting it. A little bit of enlightenment for those us who are a little disappointed with the lack of long hairs in the public eye.

there is nothing sexier to me than long hair on a man. I like it when it falls in my face and it gives you something to hold on to.I need not go further.....ladies you know what I mean

Posted this before, but still wondering: How do the girlfriends/admirers of men with long hair wear their hair? Shorter, longer, etc?

My name is Rip, I am 18 and I have been growing my hair out for two years. I had an undercut which screwed my hair up but it is growing out. My hair is a little past my shoulders. Why is my hair growing slow.
It is growing about an inch every 3 months. help!!!!
also, I pull my hair in a ponytail sometimes but hairs from the front and side fall down. How can I keep them up without greasing my hair?

I'm the only one in my family who wants to grow his hair long
I've got the perfect hair type I think, but I'm affraid I'll be ashamed for my family . ( soory for my Englisch but I'm coming from Holland ). What shall I do and how ??

Glad to see this forum exists, I need a place to vent and this may be the only place to do it. I'm a first year law student, and I've been wearing my hair long since I was a teenager. One of my professors has a sense of humor, so for my first legal research project she assigned me a line of cases dealing with employment discrimination based on hair length. I expected to find perhaps some initial reluctance on the part of U.S. courts to recognize sex discrimination claims by men concerning hair length, and sure enough when these cases first started popping up in the early 70's only a few judges lent them any weight.
What I didn't expect to find however, was that as recently as this year an Appeals Court in Florida ruled against a claim of sex discrimination based on male hair length. They said, in effect, that it is legally permissible for an employer to allow female employees to wear their hair long, but not male employees. Accordingly, the EEOC, which had previously been in support of such actions, ordered their offices to officially close any pending claims of this nature.
In other words, in America in 1998, a man can be fired, or simply not hired at all, for having long hair, while a woman who does the same job labors under no such restriction. Does this strike anyone else as plainly unfair, if not simply unjust as a matter of principle?
Personally, it ticks me off. I'd love to hear what the rest of you think.

-By the way, the employer in the case was Blockbuster Video, if you're interested. If there are any legal-types out there I can give you the citation.

Sorry- I reviewed your pics again-now I got it straight. I still say--let it grow!

As a female, and an admirer of long hair (period), I wanted to add my two cents' worth to this board.

First of all, a person's hair is a quick gauge of their overall health. To me, a long, beautiful head of hair proudly boasts of one's good personal hygiene habits along with other desirable health habits that
are usually in place when you see a healthy head of hair.

Secondly, there is nothing more sensuous than a guy who is comfortable enough with his own masculinity to wear his hair long despite public pressure if it looks good on him and he wants it that way. Self-confidence is vital to one's appeal to others.

Although hair does not make a person, it does tell a lot about them. If you look good with long hair, and YOU like it, please continue to wear it and do so with confidence. There are many other females out there like me that find you completely intriguing and irresistable.

Hey there guys, well i'm an asian guy who just got a dread perm about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately the salon guy told me to use beeswax, which I unfortunately started to use. But i'm discontinuing the use of the wax in favor of either pommade or strong gel. The problem i'm having right now is that i'm not sure what to do with the straight hair that is about a 1/2 inch from my scalp to where my twists seem to tbe taking. Am I too tie the ends up with rubber bands or string or just twist them all up and use the gel or pommade as close to the scalp as I can? Can ya'll please help me with some advice on to what I should do or what should be done. Thanks again for ya'lls help.

Liked your hair better before the "trim" Grow it back! You l ooked
terrific.

Yes Ras your S/O DOES like your hair....its your hair and please dont cut it

I am a computer consultant. My hair is about mid-back long. It is measured 22 inches
from the crown to the end. My hair is black, strait, shiny and silky. I have been with
long hair many years. However, only in last two years, it has passed the shoulder length.

Recently, my wife has problems with my long hair. Since she is a medical doctor (MD) ,
she thinks my long hair is not very professional. When she goes out with me, especially
seeing her friends, she feels that people may think her husband is not very educated. Actually
I have two Master and one Ph.D. degrees. She wants me to cut my hair to shoulder length
or less. I really hate to cut now, since the quality of the hair is so good. Please feel free to
give your supports or comments. Thanks

The time has come to shed my long locks and I heard there was a board much like this one where you can post notices about selling your ponytail. Anyone know where it's located?

Have any of you seen this before? Know how accurate it is?

OK, here's the deal. Ive been growing my hair for about 3 months(August13-November21) now and its getting longer but the only problem is the back of my hair is soooo bushy. All my friends say I should cut and get an instyle haircut. One of my friends with shoulder length hair says that all men go through that when growing long hair. I believe him but I just cant stand this bushy awckward hair on my neck area. And to top it off its really getting hair to manage my thick dry hair. My friend says I should get a "Tape Up" style haircut, if anyone is not familiar with that its a new style haircut that most rap stars get. The thing is that Im afraid of messing it up and just throwing away those three looong months. What should I do? Let my hair run its natural course. Should I just trim the back area? Right now I just trim my sideburns. Need advice, a lotta pressure to cut my hair but dont wanna do something Im gonna regret!

Just need any words of wisdom on how to avoid getting a bad trim - I am letting my hair grow - and went today to a stylist to get the layers evened up a bit - I specifically asked if they were good with long hair - they said yes -well the stylist listened to what I requested and then once my hair was wet started "trimming" the back - the result of this is that he whacked off about 4 inches off of the back - I stopped him at this point and told him that he did not listen to my request and that I was leaving and that I was not paying him for his services - to which he replied - well I thought that it would look better shorter so that is what I did - how can I avoid this stylist attitude next time- which will be a long time - but do not want a repeat of this experiece. Why can't they just do as you request??

I have wavy hair and am growing it long and so far it looks the bomb, but my firend has straing long hair and he looks gay. Whats everyone else's opinion

Am producing (and starring in) an all longhaired guy solo scened adult video. Am looking for great looking, built longhaired men of all ages for fifteen minute scenes, reasonable pay and great national exposure via website and Playgirl advertising.
Video will be marketed to females and males.
Please write or call 323-769-5181. Legit!

I don't know how to add a response without posting the whole thing. I agree with you it's a waste of electrons.

For all those longhairs seeking to employment in or somewhat fretting about getting a job in the corporate world, I saw one yesterday!

I was getting out of my car heading into work and coming out of the building was this very nice looking man wearing a business pants, a white shirt and a tie and he had loose, dark brown hair falling past his shoulders. Just by his walk he struck me as quite professional. Right before I had gone to work I had posted a response to Eric about not cutting his hair. Was this a sign? Who knows. Just a little encouragement.

I was wondering if anyone knows the products that people use to give your hair that wet look. Most of the people I see with this,have a perm for some reason.

Thanx,

*Longhair4Life*

My girlfriend is very conservative and worries too much about what other people think. I want to let my short layered bob grow out into a bob that is just above shoulder length, but every time it gets and inch below my ears, she screams for me to get it cut. I have nice brunnette hair that I keep clean and styled, but for some reason my girlfriend doesn't want me to grow my hair out. We always end up in a shouting match because she wants me to get my hair cut.
What can I do to convinve her that long hair on men is o.k.??
Are there any women out there that have and love long haired men that would post a testimonial as to why they like their man with long hair and what they like about it? Please help as she is already nagging me to get a haircut.

In a recent responses to a post on getting the ends of long hair to be straight, one person said

AVOID SILICONES

another said

USE FEIZZEASE it makes hair look like glass -- yes, contains silicone, like glasss.

Does silicone damage hair? Please explain. And if it damages, why is it in so many products?

Regarding the straight question, in my experience it is impossible to get curl out of hair completely without damaging it. One can taime curl but setting hair on large rollers, paradoxically. That will make it smoothe, but a little curle remains.

About 2 months ago, I had a sudden urge to have blonde blonde streaks put in my hair to the style of guitarist, James Iha of the smashing pumpkins. I have been growing my hair since '96 and my natural color is light brown but I wanted to go blonde half way through that year (when my hair just covered my ears) and I got a friends mother, who was (supposedly) a qualified hairdresser to do it cheaply. The end result was that she got caught up on the phone and way over-processed my hair. It was just about ruined. I've spent the past 2 years trying to condition my hair back to normal. Then about 4 months ago I died my hair brown again with a semi-permanent color, when it had nearly washed out, I had the James Iha blonde streak impulse. I went to the hair dresser and told them what I wanted. So I had really blonde blonde streaks put in (which obviously bleached through the former wash out color and over the already bleached color from '96 that had been overprocessed but was back in kinda good condition). The blonde streaks were the front part of my hair and a few in the back and sides. I had the rest of my hair dyed really dark brown (semi permanent). Well, it looked damn terrible, I was so pissed off with it that I came really close to cutting my hair all off. I then went to another hair dresser to have the disgusting blonde lumps in the front of my hair dyed over with some semi permanent brown. I've washed a lot of the dark color out but it is still darker than my normal hair color. I only really suit long hair with a light color, such as my normal color with a few frostings. I don't want to cut my hair as it has been a big effort to grow and I need to fix the color up. I still have the blonde streaks in the rest of my hair and the ones in the front are still covered with the brown semi color (which I have been told will never fully wash out. I want to get my hair back to normal and lighter and I want to get some blonde frostings put back in, but I am scared to put frostings in the front where the blonde was.. I cant go on with my hair this dark and I need to get rid of the blonde streaks.... Please can someone give me some advice on what I can do to fix my hair.

Thanks for reading.

Cheers.

I was just wondering if anyone has a good way to get rid of what I call wings. Its when your hair at the bottom of the shaft just sort of wings out. My hair is about shoulder length so I'm thinkin that It might be from my hair hitting my shoulders. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Is anyone out there fans of long-haired hunks Sasha Maxwell and/or Doug Koziak? Do you know where interesting material can be found on either (especially the former)?

I just want to give my support to all the men who decide to wear their hair long. I've always thought that is very nice, but at this time very very few men has long hair (here in Norway at least). So for all of you who do - IT'S GREAT!! I remember when I was a kid, I always said I was gonna marry a man with long hair. I still (secretly) keep that dream, but still the personality counts most....Anyway, my support to all of you!!

I'm not sure if this might not have been posted at sometime before my time here, but it certainly deserves a read.

Long hair paper from the Backlash

Hey, I just wanted to tell all you curly haired guys that there is a very easy way for straight hair. All you need is a baseball cap,andd some hair. First put your hair back so its on the top part your head,and it must come out the back of you hat. NExt take the hair that is from the back of your hat and push it all in the one side of your hat. It may look a little funny because one side kof your head will look larger.After however long you want it to set,take it out and tuck it in to the other side of your hat for the same amount of time you did the last tuck with. This is a GUARENTEED way for happy straigt hair.......but be careful because your hair might start to stink if its in the hat to long.

I have the thickest, dryest, curliest hair in the world, but one hairstylist was able to make it straight one time. She first smothered my towel-dryed hair with Image Intrakera leave-in conditioner, then she got a big flat brush and began to blow-dry my hair. But she used this weird attachment at the end, sort of like a vaccuum cleaner-type thing. We all know those attachments that come with hair dryers, the ones that form a rectangular-shaped empty space at the top. It was like that, except MUCH more narrow. And it worked to PERFECTION. Problem is, I can't find that attachment ANYWHERE. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Where can I find it?

Thanks

A year ago my girlfriend got tired of my long straight hair...mid back.and asked me to be brave enough to let her decide a new style for me. I agreed and after a trip to her stylist I found myself with a shoulder length page boy( or depending upon how strict your definition is..a long bob).(including bangs!) I can't tell you how much I love this style now....after some early trepidation. Sure it means extra work(I set the ends under daily) and periodic body waves, but I have really grown to like how I look. My girlfriend is very happy, and that's all that counts. Oh, I get lots of stares from all sorts of people, but I don't care.
I would love to chat with other guys who have their hair styled in a long bob. Please feel free to email me.

At long last, I've finally updated the Samson page. There are lots of pics and an interview.

New Samson Page

I have been growing my hair since 1996 when it was shaved, it is now way past my shoulders, about the length of Lorenzo Lamas' in RENEGADE, I'd just like to say the Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers Rocks, he's had his hair long since about 1985 and he still hasnt cut it, even considering all the changes in fashion.. I think this is an admirable trait. Also, Is it true that most chicks wont go out with you just cos you are a longhair? I've read books that say most women are attracted to a mans personality over looks. mmmmm Also, is long hair coming back into fashion? it went out in about '94 after kurt cobain shot himself,.... He was the spokesperson for my generation apparently.. Isnt it about time long hair came back in... anyone out there have a clue??? Anyway, Long Hair Rocks and I am proud to be a longhair!!!!

Keep it growing dudes!

RHCP rock.. and Anthony better not cut his hair

does anyone know of any books or sites I can gather info on men's hair in the 1970's and 80's?

Does anybody like to adapt the hairstyles of those men in American history to the present day but by using modern ties. I noticed in pictures that those men almost tied back the end part of their long hair with ribbons, while on the sides, hair covers their ears.

Hey everybody-
It's taken me awhile to respond and I am sorry for the delay. But I am not sure if I really want to cut my hair right now, I love it, but I also hate it. I would love to have short hair again that I can't do crap with - but at least I could get out of the shower and run some gel and a brush through it and call it good. There are only three people I know that say cut it and they are:
1. A girl about my age(she is 20, I am 23) that works for my family's business. She just thinks I would look really good with short hair also. But she is happy with what I like.
2. My dad - which he is close to his 60's, therefore he witnessed the drug crazed hippies with long hair (which he strongly opposed). But in a way I think he likes it(no matter what he says), because I am alot different from those tripping hippies. Also he has moved down to florida from missouri and is exposed to alot of guys with long hair, and like his girlfriend, he knows girls really like hair like mine. When I told him a few weeks ago that I might cut, he didn't seem that excited, and said "if you cut it and you don't like it, you can always grow it back out" - Even though he doesn't understand that it takes time, which is not an overnight thing.
3. My exgirlfriend which I was with for a year and a half and ended around labor day weekend. When I met her she loved my long hair, but after a few guys whistling at us from behind and many other girls complimenting me on it - she begun to hate it. She would associate my long hair as a male stripper(a sex object to women, especially older). Also when we made love, she said my long hair made her feel as though she was with another women because it would be in her face. Same for when we - just kissed, my hair getting in her mouth. grip grip grip. Us seperating has nothing to do with my hair though, to get that out of the way!
Other than those three people, everybody loves my hair and doesn't think I should cut it. Including my mom, which growing up would not allow me to grow my hair out under her roof - but now likes it. At a later date I might post a pic of it. But for now I am outta of here!!
I want to hear some responses to my message - to get a feel of what others think about what I have said, even though I do what my own instincts tell me!!!
sorry so long - Rob

New gallery was posted yesterday.

Main page which links to the gallery

I heard that Kato Kaelin gets his cool-looking hair color by putting egg yolk in it. Does anybody know the exact procedure for doing these. And really, wouldn't my hair smell like eggs all day??

I posted a message earlier about loving long hair on men. What I find interesting is that many of my women friends and associates all like the "corporate" short-haired look on men, a look which usually sends me fleeing, screaming "run away!" "run away!" (but then I usually send corporate men doing the same thing.) I work in a law firm and all of these guys look the same. Not one strand of hair reaches the collars around here. It is a pity that society sends the message that in order to be "professional" and to be taken serious, a man cannot have long hair. Over the years of working in this world, I have been in trouble for looking like a "pirate" and a "gypsy" to which I told them they were welcome to fire me if they wish because I wasn't going to change. I wasn't and was left alone because I'm a good hard worker and know the computers better than most of the secretaries. Perhaps one day I will go to work and there will be one star attorney whose hair will begin to get just a little bit longer and longer, and his reputation will be so sparkling that no one will care how long his hair is.

Victor has discouraged use of this board for meeting people, and that is understandable. If it were used for that, about half of the messages would soon be devoted to that, and that would considerably change the tone of the board. This place serves a real need, and it is a great place just like it is!

Still, we see posts on here from time to time from guys or gals wanting to meet longhairs. So there is a need also for such a place. Greg, who often posts here, is now working on a site to serve those interested in making male-female connections. So watch for it soon! And I have just finished putting together a site for guys who want to meet longhairs.

So check it out, and post to your heart's content! It's at:

I got this crazy idea about 6 months ago to color my hair (I have a lot of premature grey at age 36. I wouldn't mind if it was diffuse grey but it is just on the sides and I didnt want my hair to look like a coon skin cap when I wear it in a pony tail....Lmao...) Anyhow, The color was great but it faded in about 1 month and now it has a deep red tint.

"And the sign said - Long haired freaky people needn't aught apply"

Hi-
I've been reading this board for many months now, and I'd like
to ask for some advice. How do I know when it's time to cut
my hair?

Here's my situation...I've had long hair since I was a kid. I'm
in my mid-20's now, and all my former long-haired friends have
cut theirs. I have a decent job now where they don't mind my hair,
but I'm looking for a better one, and I know for a fact that
having long hair greatly reduces my chances of getting a job, I
know that from past experience. I'm currently single, and it
seems like no woman (at least around here) wants anything to
do with a long-haired man. Even my ex-girlfriend, who loved my
long hair when we started going out, was telling me to cut it by
the time we broke up. And lastly, no matter how much I keep it
trimmed, or what products I use (and I've tried a lot of the
suggestions I've seen on this board), my hair just has that
"fried" look.

On the other side of the coin, I really identify with having long
hair, it's such a part of me. I honestly think I look a lot
better with it long (though I can't even remember what it looks
like short). And I don't want to cut it and then regret it.

So that's my dilemma. I'm really leaning towards cutting it. But I
know a lot of you guys go through the same things, so I thought
I'd ask for some honest advice. Thanks.

Eric

I have very long hair and am looking for a good stylist to give me suggestions on feminine or unisex hairstyles for myself in Seattle, Tacoma or the Puget sound area

OK, I know this is a hair messageboard but is there some kind of sideburns message board for those who would like to know what sideburns are back in style. Call me crazy but muttenchops are becoming back in style. Not the kind Elvis sported but a more modified version I think skinny sidburns, or most commonly known as "shape ups" are nasty and becomming to common amongst teens. I think if you have them skinny in the beginning and let them grow fat below your ears into a muttenchop, its rocks! I dont usually sport any other facial hair, because mustaches and goatees just arent as cool as sideburns. Any thoughts opinions on this matter or sideburns altogether?

I know it doesn't seem like it, but I really am working on an update. I've got new gallery pictures and a Samson page in the works.

Here's a current picture of me. Hmmm. I wonder if beard hair works as well as horse hair on violin bows....

she is my best friend, aand it is very strange to rea of her romance on the web?

Can someone give me some advice on what to do with hair that is used to a dry climate that has been moved into a quite humid, moist climate? I just moved from the Northwest and now work on the Pacific coast. I blow dry my hair with a large round metal brush in the morning and put a little bit of gel/straightener in it. I found that hair spray just makes my hair appear really stringy and flatter than if I wouldn't have sprayed it. I look fine when I leave for the office but as the day wears on I look like I just walked in from a rain storm.. meaning it is flat..and dull, but incredibly shiny.. I used to have sort of dry hair.. but NO MORE.. I have to wash it more often than normal and it looks terrible...most of the time.. please help me......any good products out there? SOMETHING??

I've been growing my hair out now for about 3 years now and its only down to about shoulder length. Im thinking that the problem might have been from not cutting\trimming it for a 1year. But I started trimming it regualry but only a little bit off the ends. So now my hypothesis is that since i did'nt cut it for so long that I now have the split ends so long at the bottom that when I trim it I'm just cutting off some of the split ends and I still have about a half inch of the split ends left on my hair, and thats why my hair isnt growing. PLease help me with my dilema.
Thanx a bunch!

Recently, I made a trip to Keene,New Hampshire via Brattleboro,Vermont. As I drove through these two small New England cities, I was amazed by the number of longhaired men that I saw. Some were your typical metalheads and bikers, but to my delight, several were dressed in suits(hopefully they were professionals as I surmised and NOT on their way to a court date), shop owners, workers at small industries etc. I stopped at a coffee shop and their were out of the 12 men in there, 10 with ponytails or long loose flowing locks!!!! I was psyched! Maybe these two little towns that straddle the Connecticut river in central New England foreshadow the new trend to come that long hair wll be much more acceptable. Have any of you out there also been through towns or cities that have seen an upturn in hair growth where is seems to be an acceptable and common practice? Let's share our experience.

Well, another one of our "brethren", so to speak, has made it into the entertainment world; and not with a guitar! Has anyone seen "Jesse" (Christina Applegate)? Anyway, there's this one guy on there who has no lines whatsoever (man, doesn't *that* sound easy! Probably isn't though). Anyway, I just think it's kinda cool that he's on TV is all.

OK, I have to be Gavin's #1 fan. Anyhow, Ive always thought Gavin had the the coolest hair! Besides the fact hes a babe magnet with good looks and a kick ass guitarist, his hair gives him character. He has inspired me to grow long hair. So my questions are: Most importantly, is this a kick ass hair style or what? Ive been letting my hair grow for about two months, how long will it take to reach Gavin's hair length? (his is about shoulder length I believe). He has really wavy hair right? Mine is a little wavy, so will it take longer to grow? When I do reach his length, should I get my hair fixed to look like his, meaning getting it permed more, and streaking it? For the females, in your own opinions, how do you feel about Gavins hair, and would you find it sexy on a man? If yes please state why and if not state what part you dont like about it. I am desperately seeking some guidance becasue this is the longest Ive ever had it and Im eagerly anticipating it. I dont plan to cut it but at this peak its getting harder to comb... I really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for someone in the San Antionio area (preferrably north S.A.). Does any one have any recomendations ?

All,

I apologize for the lack of activity here lately. I just visited the main page and realized the current link to the Samson page is obsolete. I guess it's been there all along, and for that I apologize. There is an update, and I think I have already announced it here (some months ago already). Please follow the link if you have not already seen it.

I just started on Propecia tonite. No significant hair loss so far, except a little on rear crown, but don't want to lose what I am striving to keep.

Several questions:

1. What are your results?
2. Propecia inhibits the DHT component of testosterone. Will my hair change in texture over time, i.e. more like a female's texture?
3. Anyone had the side effects associated with the stuff?

Thanks in advance!

What kind of clothing will make a gay long haired man more attractive to other gay men?

Are there any good specific vit's that you can take to encourage hair growth. I've heard the E works well, but are there others?

Hi, me again,

Well, the lukewarm water deal is great, but alas, all of us have to wash our hair with shampoo now and again. When I do, since I am still in that awkward phase, I get the loopy curlies. The ends of my hair are wild without the blow-dryer, you have all convinced me to get rid of that. Since I do not have this problem on the days when I use only lukewarm water to wash, I have to suspect that the hair is curling because it is drier than before. Right or wrong??

I am trying to select my "product" - a healthy product that will help me through this and not defeat the purpose. Dawn recommended a few, including Citre Shine. Citre Shine was the only one that I could find available. I have used Citre Shine, but am reluctant to use the Citre Shine "laminator" because when I did before, I seem to remember it feeling like a slicone based product. The laminator did, as I remember control the curlies. Ok, Dawn, I read the Thermasilk label - really, it didn't feel like THAT (silicone) going on... (THANKS!! - threw that away.).

I also read the Citre Shine Laminator label, no ingredients listed. What's up with that? 'cone or not?

I seem to remember that Victor recommended Citre Shine Laminator a while back. What's the deal with this Citre Shine Laminator? Is is safe to use in my hair??.

Ahhh, I don't know what to use.

If you have forgotten, I have VERY FINE hair, not thin, just FINE, VERY FINE. It seems to break easy, but then again, from this board, I have learned not to break it so much. I just want the best, bulkiest, "heathiest" hair that I can have - can we have a board vote?

Your decision... If you are willing to provide hair care feedback for me, you may either post to this message, or send an e-mail to dondle320@aol.com I promise to post the result of all submissions on this board.

I will close the voting on 8th of September. Until then, it is Citre Shine, minus the laminator.

Please help, I have to get through this awkward stage. EVERYONE comments on the loopy curlies - I CANNOT submit to peer pressure here (everyone wants me to CUT)!!

Thanks,

DB

The new "Fall Preview" edition of TV Guide hit the stands this week, and it lays out details about all the new shows and includes photos of the actors. Among the photos for the regular shows to debut, I spotted two longhairs!

John Sencio stars in "The Army Show", to debut Sunday night on WB, 9:30 Eastern and Pacific.

And Mark Dacascos stars in "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven", which will debut next week. This program will be syndicated, so times and stations will vary in each market.

The section that describes movies to air during the year also contains a photo of two longhairs who will appear in a four-hour epic on NBC in May: "Noah's Way Out". It's the tale of Noah and his ark.

Since photos were frontal shots and hair tied back is sometimes not seen, and since some of the photos were dark beyond the face area, which might hide dark long hair, there may be others. But there is no mistaking the ones above!

Howdy!

This site is FANTASTIC! I finally feel that I'm not alone anymore!
Anyhow.... This past summer, I cut my hair (boo hiss), it had been
down to the middle of my back. But I swim a great deal, and
swimming caps do nothing but break your hair, while the pool water
does all it can to damage your hair. I had what seemed to be a
great deal of damaged hair, so I got it cut. Now, I want to prevent
or at least be able to treat split ends while I grow my hair back.
Is there a FAQ list somewhere to help out with tips/preventative
maintenance? I would really appreciate any help that will give
me a very successful head of long hair! Oh yeah, giving up swimming,
really isn't an option either. Thanks in advance!!!!

Hey people, I am writing to say thanks, first of all to victor and to all you people who are so positive and supportive to one another about having long hair. I have been growing my hair since late '95 and it is now about level with my upper arm. I've been through many dillemas with it. When I started growing it, long hair on guys was still considered trendy and "cool" among most people and I was stoked to be growing my hair long... however, the fashion changed throughout '96 and even more so in '97 and short hair became and is still the trend. After over-processing with peroxide my hair once andgoing through the frustration of working it back into good condition I found that All my friends who once had long hair when it was cool had cut their hair and girlfriends and other friends told me i should cut it. I decided that I loved having long hair too much to cut it then, even with all the pressure to cut it from trends and friends. But recently (like 4 weeks ago) I decided to put some blonde streaks in the front my hair for a change and it ended up looking ridiculous and I hated it.. This was the time I was extremely close to cutting it, and did a net search for tips on what I could do to fix it and came across this hyperboard and after reading the postings I have decided to keep my hair long and work at fixing nursing it back to good health (even though the front is now black and there is still blonde streaks throughout it with the rest being brown) So yeah (wow I've rambled on) Keep up the support people :) and I do believe that we will come out of the tough times (i.e. long hairs being very much the minority group) soonish so keep it long and keep it true and dont cut that hair.. cheers.

I've got some excellent stuff for my battle of the frizzies.. I went for a trim today and my stylist suggested some new 'conditioner' she just got in.. "Recovery Complex" made by Bain De Terre (pronounce that) you use about three drops on semi wet hair and comb in.. It works real good.. Thirteen bucks for two ounces, but see how you use only three drops... It made my hair lay down and not look so 'windblown'...

ICQ#9162854

I have always wondered about my longhair identity.
No, I've never doubted that I have one. But its exact nature
was never before so clear to me as today.

Only six years ago I finally collected my courage to grow
it really long, instead of just having it unneat, like I've
used to have it all the time.

Last spring for the first time ever in my life, I had *too* long
hair! Based on your writings here, most of you can never have
that. Not because your hair would not grow, but because there
is no upper limit for most longhairs.

But I do have one. I just don't feel myself any more when my hair
becomes too long. I really don't know exactly why, but neither
do most of us know why we have longhair identity in the first place,
so I don't worry much about that.

Well, yesterday, after having a haircut, I also realized that
I do have a lower limit, too. (Well, of course I do - how would I
be a longhair otherwise - but I mean a lower limit which is still very long.) So, now, for the first time in my life, I have too short
hair *after* first having had it long enough.

So now I know exactly what kind of a longhair identity I do have.
Or rather how long an identity. ;-)

Instead of defining it in centimeters or inches, I have taken
a simpler measurement: the head height. Albeit not objective
between people, I think it still portrays the important aspect
of hair length to *me*. Besides, it is very easy to estimate
the hair length of others without even touching them.

I judge the effect on other people's hair based on *their*
body proportions. One of my female collegues has exactly
the same length of hair as I do in *centimeters* (I know,
we've measured both). But I *feel* she has clearly longer
hair.

But the body proportions are different. She is 30 cms
shorter than I am, and her neck is also shorter even in proportion
to her height.

Hence, if we take the shoulder level as a divider, she has
hair that is almost 3 times her head height, whereas mine is
currently only two times my head height. The resulting impression
is also similarily different.

When my hair was too long, it was over 2.5 times my head height,
and when it is now too short, it is 2 times my head height.

Tehanu - with the longhair identity of 2.2-2.5 head heights ;-)

I'm growing my hair out and I've noticed it wont stay detangled in the back for any period of time. It's just as long in the front but I have no problem with it. Any suggestions or even explanations would be greatly appreciated.

"Sign said long-haired freaky people need not apply so I tucked my hair up under my hat and went in to ask him why. Man said "why you look like a fine, upstanding young man, I think you'll do" so I took off my hat and said "Imagine that, me working for you".-Five man electric band (I think) (or is it tesla?)

I'm a healthy, in shape, very good looking 31 year old beach boy with long dark blonde hair. I would like to meet other healthy, good looking in shape young guys between 18 & 32 for chat, fun, sex, friendship and possible LTR. Long hair is a definate plus.

A year ago my girlfriend got tired of my long straight hair...mid back.and asked me to be brave enough to let
her decide a new style for me. I agreed and after a trip to her stylist I found myself with a shoulder length
page boy( or depending upon how strict your definition is..a long bob).(including bangs!) I can't tell you
how much I love this style now....after some early trepidation. Sure it means extra work(I set the ends under
daily) and periodic body waves, but I have really grown to like how I look. My girlfriend is very happy, and
that's all that counts. Oh, I get lots of stares from all sorts of people, but I don't care.
I would love to chat with other guys who have their hair styled in a long bob. Please feel free to email me.

I don't mean to bore everyone with a Sience lession, but I'v been reading messages that are drawing a correlation to brittle hair to the properties of glass. This, in itself, is nonsence and miss-leading.

Silicone is not Silicon. These are two very different materials. There is a big difference.

Silicone is an oil. It is a compound; a lubricant. It has nothing to do with glass.

Silicon is an element. (No "e" at the end.) It is a member of a family of elements in the "periodic table" known as "semi-conductors". When highly refined and processed it becomes a semi-conductor and can be used for various electronic purposes. Sand is Silicon Dixoide mostly. (This make Silicon probably the most abundant element on earth.) Glass is made of Silicon Dioxide or sand, with various other constituents used to alter the properties of the material.

If anyone concludes that Silicones on hair makes it brittle, it's not because there is any similarity or connection to glass.

I hope the above helps everyones understanding.

By the way; I use Pantene w/conditioner in it on my long hair and it works great. Their conditioner only product leaves it a bit oily.

I have used frizz-ease after shampoo conditioner with some benefit, but fine their shampoo leaving me in need of a conditioner.

The dire warnings led me to believe that it would cause my hair to shatter like glass. Now I am relieved that its just a matter of washing the glass coating off.

And do you think Jesus used Silicones? I always thought he used Breck.

I am 40 and work for a conservative company in a professional capacity in which suits and ties are required. I currently have fairly short hair, but am growing out the back. I have 'jokingly' told my barber about letting my hair grow into a ponytail. He claims that I have the perfect hair for it, although I am thinning on top. Any thoughts?

I have always wanted long hair, but have only managed to get my hair slightly longer than chin-length. I have very nice hair, and have received compliments on my longer hair styles. My wife likes my hair long. However, (here is my problem) I have been unable to think of myself as a "long-hair". When I look at myself with long hair, I see a short-hair with long hair. How do I overcome this. I've got the desire to have shoulder-length hair again, but really doubt my ability to follow through. I've considered taking it very slowly, so that I can get accustomed to the length in steps. I got a haircut today, and told the stylist that I wanted to transition into a longer style. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I was reading this mornings newspaper and in it was a review of Neal McCoy's Concert tuesday night at the Kansas State Fair...Neal McCoy is a country singer who USED to have GREAT long black hair. anyway I thought the published comments of the reviewer would be of intrest to those who read this board......
"....Perhaps he was a little more tired than usual on Tuesday night. He only sang one song, "Wink" when he was called back on stage.
Or maybe it was the hair...McCoy wore long curly locks long before long hair and ponytails went mainstream. His hair and his long legs were what set McCoy apart in the sea of lookalikes cowboys. And now the hair is gone. He has a haircut fit for a bank president.
Could McCoy, like Samson in the Bible, have lost some of his strength when he cut his hair?"

oh, by the way, MY hair just keeps getting longer, and I love it.

I just wanted to share that today I saw a man walking across the street as I was driving off a parking lot and I liked the way he had his ponytail. His hair must have been to the middle of his back and instead of a braid, he had three colorful bands on his hair. One at the base, another about a quarter of the way down and another one at another quarter of the way down. It looked really cool. He was very nice looking and wore a beard and moustache as well.

Hey guys,

Getting into this site.
I am a 37 year longhair and love it. What I really enjoy (fantasies as well as reality) are long submission wrestling matches with fellow longhairs. Anyone else like tanglin in "rasslin" matches with longhaired opponents?

I'm the only one in my family who wants to grow his hair long
I've got the perfect hair type I think, but I'm affraid I'll be ashamed for my family . ( soory for my Englisch but I'm coming from Holland ). What shall I do and how ??

So there's this young guy (early 20s I would guess) who has long, dark
hair to his butt I see at a local coffee shop about once a week. His
hair is slightly wavy and beautiful. (The goatee don't hurt either!)

I don't know him at all. One way to start a conversation of course
would be about his hair and, more specifically, asking him if he'd be
willing to have his picture taken to be a Samson on these pages.

But how should I approach/ask him without looking weird?
"Hi -- would you like to be featured as a 'Sampson' on a web site for
long-haired men?"

Also what "interview" questions should I ask him?

- Paul

I'm pretty sure there are some good designers on this board after seeing some of the web sites. But I will contribute my thoughts anyway.

I think the card should be simple with maybe a drawing of a masculine figure with long hair and then the site name underneath in big letters with Victor's name in the corner. Something like that.

As for the cost, you might want to think about just preparing a page set up in business card format that people can print out themselves or you can take orders for people who don't have a printer or who want better quality paper. What does everyone else think?

Hey everyone,

I attended the 21st. annual NY Renaissance Faire today. This troupe performs in several US cities every year.

I find this to be a great place to view men's longhair styles. I spoke with quite a few guys and collected their advice.

I was sure that it was a mute point, but I even had my "growing out" hair braided here.... Definately worth it.

I have visted the renfair four times since last year, it has been an inspiriation to grow my hair, it has even begun to persuade me to the goth...... Take a look, and if you go, have fun.

Hi. I am a white male and I love the bob hairstyle. I have dark brunette hair that is cut in a one length bob just covering my ears and bangs that reach my brows. My hair is very wavy, but I blow dry it straigth every morning. I was wondering if there are any girls out there that love guys with this feminine hairstyle? I want to let my hair grow out longer, still in a bob style, but I don't want to do it if it doesn't appeal to any girls. Any suggestions, ideas, or comments are welcomed.

Today, the girls and I went to the mall in order to go shopping and ice-skating. Near the end of the skating time, nearly everyone left, except a few people who were quite expert. They struck me as being volunteers to make sure people behaved themselves. They were all teenagers. One of the guys had mostly very short buzzed hair, except for a significant portion in the back that extended nearly to his waist. At one point, one of the girls grabbed him by the pony tail and pulled him backward around the rink. The favor was, of course, receprocated.

Hi everyone. Im getting jealous that everyone is posting their long hair pics, so I thought Id have a little fun and guess-timate what I might look like in the future.

Jason's Hair Anthology

I have hair which is all one length, and comes down to about the bottom of my shirt collar. I've been using a blow dryer and brush to dry and style it, but I found that using rollers is easier and gives a better result. I got the largest rollers I could, green velcro ones. (A little nervously, I went into a drugstore and bought rollers, but no one seemed to care.) I comb my hair back and use three of them to roll up my hair in the back when it is just a little damp. Then I dry it more it with the blow dryer, and leave the rollers in while I finish getting ready in the morning. The hair comes out smooth, with just a little curl at the ends.

If you're having problems with hair at that awkward length between short and long enough for a good ponytail, give large rollers a try. I guess it may seem feminine to some people, but if your hair is long enough, they seem to be good styling tool, especially the large ones, which mostly make hair smooth.

Is it very common for guys to use rollers when their hair gets longer? I'd be interested in comments other guys have about using them.

Did anyone catch the Conan O'Brien Show Wednesday night? I cant remember the man's name, but the performer at the end was this middle aged guitarist. He lad long, straight hair down to his butt. The top of his head was balding, but what he had left in the front he put in a 50's curly-cue. I thought he looked pretty cool!

Does anyone know were I can find a japanesse style silver hair clip.

They are about 1 inch long have a hinge on one sind and a clasp on the
other.

The guy with the braid done to mid thigh length (scruz-braid-2.jpg) has incredible looking hair. If you could get more pictures he would be a great candidate for your next sampson. I'd love to see that great length of hair loose or even in a ponytail. But this is one of the best looking braids I've ever seen even on TLHS, I bet it makes most women very jealous even those with very long hair.

Prompted by the recent thread on whether or not a bob style would look ...er... um... pretty... on a guy, and not knowing what bobs look like, I did a search for "bob hair styles" via snap.com and found a site with photos of various bob styles. After finally gaining some grasp on what the style looks like, I'm confused. It seems hair has to be short (not more than chin length, anyway) to be a bob. Vic, what's considered long hair?

I am a guy and I love the bob type hairstyles. This style is pretty and versatile. I currently have my hair cut in a one length bob that covers my ears with bangs that reach my eyebrows. I am considering letting my bob grow out to about shoulder length and I was wondering if girls find this hairstyle attractive on men.

Needing some styling/growing advice.
My hair is layers, kinda short on top, but real long in back, and I have been growing it that way for a year. In back, it looks great, especially if I mouse it, as it is thick and wavey. Now, down to my shoulder blades.
Problem is, it is thinning in the front, the reason why I keep it short. Would love to let the front grow out, as I love the pulled back in ponytail look, but think it will end up looking bad as it is thinning there.
What do you think???

Rather than repeat myself, I refer you to an article I posted on the beard and moustache message board (follow the link).

hi,

i'm a middle aged guy who has some big problems with my hair.
First of all i have pretty thick hair, but that's not really the main problem... my fridge, or all my hair just falls right in my face, it doesn't grow to the sides or anything like that, it just falls right down. I've tried to use different hair jelly's to force the fridge to the sides but that doesn't really work so i don't know what to do. I've tried short hair too but my fridge is so annoying and i don't know where to put it, and besides, i don't want to have short hair.....

i would really appreciate if some one could help me here, my hair is killing me!

thanks in advance.

I have long one length mid back black hair. How can I keep my hair smelling good? It smells pretty good after I come out of the shower and when it's still wet, but towards the end of the day, I don't smell anything anymore. Any advice?

Somebody had asked about more info. on the guy with the long braid in
the new images gallery. I'm more interested in the guy with waist-length
hair witht he goatee standing in the tank-top (longhair.jpg).

If anybody has more images or info about him, I'd appreciate it.
(Woof!)

Ahhh, I'm not usually the hyperboard kind of guy. I did respond to Mike C.'s propecia question and I guess that got me started.

Well, guys, I need your support and your advice.

I am a 35, soon to be 36 year old guy. I have never had more than "to my ear" length hair. I have always wanted longer hair, but peer and family pressure kept me submissive.

Over the past few years, I have been experiencing severe back pain - believe me - I have learned where my alliances are - and they are with me, myself and I. Screw the peer and family pressure.

I wish that I had learned sooner.

Anyhow, surgery in the next month or so is promising to fix my back problem. I have been out of work since February 10, 1998. This was the day of my last haircut. I mean MY LAST.

I have made this decision based upon four facts: 1) I have ALWAYS wanted long hair. 2) I think that guys (if, as I guy, I can make this determination) look GREAT with long hair. 3) If I am to have long hair, I want it BEFORE it really begins to fall out, and 4) Before it turns grey (my beard has already started to do this.) - No offense to anyone currently in these categories.... -

OK, support and advice.

Let's start with my need for support.

I know, that ANY DAY, my MOTHER is going to say something about my hair. Thank God that she is still with me, but I know the inevitable is coming. When she asks, I plan to refer her to: www.lib.uchicago.edu/~rd13/hd/long.html - Think it will work? Any suggestions on handling Mom??

Also, since I have been out of work, a few "work friends" have stopped by. Every one has mentioned my hair. I think I am doing OK in telling them that I have no desire to EVER cut it again. However, my boss stopped by yesterday, SHE asked if I will cut it before I return to work. I told her "no". Thankfully, she pointed out that ponytails are acceptable, but that I cannot leave my hair loose as a male. Well, I object, but this is do-able.

Any suggestions on handling my co-workers and boss?

Ok, then, advice...

I have VERY FINE hair. I have always had VERY FINE hair. I appear to be losing a little at the crown, but not much and not frequently (see my propecia responce to Mike C.). My hair breaks easily and I have to be VERY, VERY gentle when washing it. When I was younger, my hair was very oily. I have recently noticed that the back of my hair seems "normal" (whatever that is) but the sides feel dry to me.

The ends of my hair right now, in this awkward phase, are curling - A LOT. I have been blow-drying to make it straighter, but by days end, it is curling again. The sides get the bozo look, the back gets like Carol Brady. (Oh, God, a reference to the Brady Bunch... Pathetic!!) If I do not blow-dry, it is REALLY CURLY, almost half way up. (Shoulder to crown) "I" like it that way, but my friends and family have a "girl" complex when they see it that way. (maybe this fits into support :) ) Either way, the curly phase, which I like, diminishes from the length that I wish to see... Personal problem?? (he he)

Anyhow, with VERY FINE and EASILY breakable hair - WHAT SHOULD I DO??

Shampoo, conditioner recommendations?? Drying recommendations?? Not "washing at all" recommendations?? Go "with the flow" recommendations?? Please help.

I am currently shampooing with Helen Curtis' Thermasilk for normal hair, conditioning with Thermasilk for Normal hair and using Thermasilk for normal hair, leave in conditioner. I will use anything that can be suggested, price is actually and thankfully no object. :)

Any help that any of you may provide will be welcomed. The only thing that I can see that I have going for me is the desire to "do it" and the fact that I don't now, or ever can remember having a case of split ends!!

Thank you all in advance for your advice and support. I guess I am now "officially" a hyperboard kind of guy. AND, a long hair guy.

Thank you, Victor, for the opportunity.

Well, the subject of my hair came up tonight unexpectedly. I just got some part time at my brother's shop, and something was said about trimming my beard (no problem there, I've actually been meaning to). After relaying this information to me from my brother, my mom then went into this tangent about how some day I'd have to cut my hair to find work. This is an old argument with us, and always ends the same; I have my opinion, she has hers. I usually give up on saying anything back, because there's just no changing her position about my post-college options. Tonight, however, having now visited this site and having found out that I am in fact NOT stubborn or crazy, I told her about things like identity and how much shorthaired people like her don't realize what their asking when they aske us to alter our hair. I told her Bill's point about how I have longhaired identity, and she seems to think that I actually have some sort of obsessive attachment and that I'm being intractible to "assimilate". (continued...)

I'd like to ask all the guys out there if they use conditioner. If you all do, what is it? I'd like to know why you use it and what it does for you. I love trying stuff on my hair and I wanna hear from other long haired guys out there.

I live in a fairly dry climate (Eastern Colorado). I also have very thick, just-barely-chin-lenghth hair that is also curly. My problem is that if I get it even a little damp, like if I sweat or it rains a little or something, it frizzes. A lot. I can keep it straight and fairly frizz free by using the hair dryer and it's straightening attatchment. However, this pulls and breaks the hair (I can feel it, adn sometimes it hurts.) I have tried to put it in a loose ponytail, and more recently a loose braid. but it still gets frizzy and this way, (I know this sounds crazy) it is dryer thatn when I dry it with the hair dryer. I also don't like gells and mousses and such. But sometimes, I don't feel like drying my hair and I don't like gells and mousses and such. I know I am impossible, but is there any help for me?

Nyghtfall's imitation in print of a voice style which he maintains is Australian is an assault and insult to that great nation. The style he endeavours to print is more likened to English Cockney! And that I guess, makes it an insult to that great British Race. AJ

I know this sounds stupid but..how does one brush one's hair? I just got a Mason Pearson brush and they're a little different than the typical plastic drugstore genre. I dont feel like ripping all my hair out with it yet so I thought Id see if anyone has any advice.

Regards, James

I am a gay man with shoulder length hair and I find that most guys out there with long hair are heterosexual. I have read a lot about people thinking just because you have long hair that you are gay. The truth is that most gay guys have short hair and in fact some even look down upon gays with long hair. I was just wondering if there are other gay men out there with long hair. I find I have more woman attracted to me because of my hair than men and I have no problem with it, it is still flattering. I just think that everyone should be themselves regardless of their sexuality and hair style. If you love long hair wear it and wear it proud!!

Holy shit, I found the site again! Been on a bit of a hiatus, oiy 'ehv, goin' 'bout me days, livin' life. (ok, enough fakin' the Aussie)

Some of you'll remember me, some of you won't. Follow the link below for an intro and a pic. (Note: the goatee's been shaved off)

Nyghtfall, into the shadows...

I saw Smoke Signals last week in Tucson -- a great movie! It's about two guys taking a road trip to pick the remains of his father. It's funny, touching, and has good music.

And everyone has long hair! In fact, long hair plays a key role in the movie, but I don't want to give away the plot.

Highly recommended!

Are there any mens long hair clubs in the state of Virginia. Sounds like one should be put together.

Remember when you're shorthaired, every day is a bad hair day!

I'm 57 years old and have always wanted long hair. My mom curled my hair when I was a kid (7-8 years old) and I liked it, but felt guilty and embarassed. My wife is not supportive of long hair on men. Is it to late for old guys like me? My hair right now is 4-5 inches in length. How do I get over these feelings of embarassment, I'd like to curl my hair but I don't want a perm. I've called several salons but they are relutant to schedule an appointment for a wet set.

How about a long hair section in the various personals which men and women long hairs could find each other. These could be handy for finding each other within local areas.

It' only last you 2 weeks...... then your supposed to pay for it......but you can seek out long haired (although people may lie to you about their hair) people for friendship or relationship.......

I have a feeling that that's an issue here, (personal ads VS the long hair issue) and I feel bad about diverting the subject of hair care, but I'm sure like me, some have got to this site because they wanted to meet other long haired people (long hair guys are RARE!!!!)

Well, check this one out:

It's the best FREE PERSONAL AD SITE I've found, hope it help anyone of you, let me know about it please........

BE WELL ALL OF YOU!!!!!

I have been grwoing my hair for five years. Had to go through all the hassles of growing it out along with all the teasing from the men who are balding at work. I am the only male professinal with long hair. My hair is 30 inches long down to the middle of my back all one length. Its dark brown and cut straight across my back. My girlfriend loves it. Her hair is long as well. My goal is to grow it well past my waste but it seems that it has stopped growing. I have it trimmed every 3 months. Just had it trimmed last week. They took 2 inches off. I think that is too much. Thats 6 months growth. I thought I would only go to a hairdresser three times per year. Any suggestions at to growth and keeping it healthy? I could trim it myself just the ends. I have a lot of hair but its thin. I am not balding. No history of balding in my family. I wear it in a ponytail or braided. Would love to french braid it but don't have the nerve to wear it out like that yet. I guess its the macho thing. I was encourged a year ago by a female hairdresser who said many men are wearing their hair that way. She french braided it and I love it but felt embarrassed at the same time. I have not seen any men with that hairsytle. Sooo my question is growth and style.

Because the thread is so long, I am archiving the Gays and Long Hair thread. It is still available using the link here. Please to not try to reply to any messages in the archive. They will not post. Put any replies here.

Just thought I'd share this for the sake of comic relief. :-)

I was talking to a 50-ish (I'm 33), fairly short-haired woman I know, and the subject of long-haired men and balding came up. She opined that long hair contributed to baldness.

I asked her, "If long hair contributed significantly to baldness, wouldn't it be less popular among women?"

She replied that it only caused baldness on long-haired men -- not on long-haired women.

She was perfectly serious. I didn't know what to say. I repeated the thought back to her in a "So your saying that..." question to confirm that I'd understood her correctly. She confirmed. Note, she has never had a job, avocation, or course of study that had anything to do with hair.

This wasn't a situation where I was interested in winning any debate. I just nodded respectfully and said something like, "Oh, I see."

Hello All!

I am a hairdresser and have a few tips for those who have or want to have long locks...
1. Trim....Every 6-8 weeks

2. Brushes...NEVER brush wet hair...It will pull it out

3. Products...Don't over treat it..Stay away from those containing
alchohol..
4. Patience...It takes on average of 5-6 years to have hair to the
middle of your back..Figure 6" per year..Depending
on your age and health..This of course may vary from
person to person.

5. Accessories...They are great...Keep the ponytails and braids
slightly loose and stick with scrunchies or
barrettes..They are much more gentle...

Good luck and happy growing!!!! I welcome any other
questions... :-)

Has anyone been watching this series (on TLC)? I'm sure the earlier chapters will be re-run later (perhaps a marathon or something; TLC does that on occasion). Anyway, it's rather interesting how many soldiers of old had long hair. Not just the German tribes and Vikings, but the knights, as well as soldiers from the 15th-18th centuries. There was even this one Civil War soldier with a ponytail nearly to his waist (this was an actor in a reconstruction, but still)!

Last night I was downtown, waiting at the intersection for the walk light to come on. When it came on, I started across the street when I heard a faint voice from behind me. Turning, I saw a lady who appeared to be talking to me, but her voice was so soft I couldn't understand what she was saying. I abondoned my light and walked over to her to see what she was saying.

"Is that you hair?" she asked.
"Yes it is," I replied, wondering why I'd abandoned my light for such a stupid question.
"Have you ever cut it?"
"Yes. In 1992 it was only a couple inches long. I've been growing it since then."
"It's beautiful, and it looks like you just brushed it. I bet your girlfriend is jealous. Do you have a girlfriend or a wife?"
"No," I answered, wondering where this conversation was going.
"Will you go out with me then?" Well, I must say that this is the first time I've been asked out because of my hair, especially so directly. I'm not experienced in turning people down, and I don't even remember how I did it. By this time, though, the other walk light had turned on.
"The light is on. Aren't you going to cross the street?" I didn't care which street I crossed, because I needed to cross both of them. However, I figured she wanted this one because she didn't go across the other one.
"No. I'll just stand here and watch you cross." So I did. And then I crossed the other street.

I hate tying my hair in a ponytail because it makes me look like a sperm. There are times when I have to wear a sports jacket or a suit. how can i wear loose hair with my suit? I particularly like the style where it's kinda brushed up. Ive tried it but I ended up looking like a rooster because it's not slicked back high enough.

For your convenience, I've created a jumping off point of all hair-related sites. Included is a board for adding your own links.

Jumping off point

I am having a bit of a problem with my hair. I have dark brown hair and I bleached it bright blonde a year ago. I died it back this past december when it was a little bit higher than my chin. I normally have a hard time with my hair being greasy because I have a hard time finding the right shampoos and products but now I have a real problem. My hair is now down to my shoulders and the part that was bleached is extremely dry and the 3" of hair that grew out is greasy. Whenever I use shampoo the dried up part goes crazy and waves out and gets all bushy. It settles down by the next day but it still looks horrible for the next 2 days and then goes back to normal. I do have real thick hair but it isn't that thick anymore because I have it shaved around the sides or else it would be a bush on my head. I do not want to cut my hair so can anybody help me?

I wrote a reply, or actually a question about not washing hair daily, but it is so far down I wasn't sure you would see it. How can you avoid oily scalp odor if you only use lukewarm water instead of shampoo? My scalp tends to sweat a lot especially in this hot weather and if I don't wash it everyday I feel icky!! Please advise.

Hey hair lovers, I've just started a new Internet mailing list (longlocks) for discussion of the care, feeding, and social implications of long hair. There are no restrictions on what sexes may partake in the merrymaking, in fact there are few rulz at all. Basically they consist of:

1. *Sightings* (though I would prefer another term) of either sex are fine but objectification of either sex is tres unkewl.
2. No flaming.
3. Senses of humor are encouraged, especially those of the slightly twisted variety.

Yup, that's it. Might have to make more later but I'm gonna trust that the majority of you had parents that taught you how to act right in public, so I won't make rulz until someone proves to me they need 'em to be made.

If you'd like to subscribe, all ya gotta do is send me email at LadyScribe@aol.com. Please put something obvious in the subject line like "LongLocks" so I don't send your email the same way as my multitude of XXX PORNO YOUNG TEENS mail.

Hmmm... wonder if any of them have long hair?

Scribe

PS. Victor, thanks for letting me intrude on your boards and I'm looking forward to your presence on da list ;)

What are your thoughts about cutting the downy hair at the base of the neck and behind the ears? I've been letting all the hair grow for close to 2 years, and it's pretty clear by now what hairs back there are never going to get long enough to reach a ponytail.

I like their soft feel, but they look sloppy. On my right side they grow upward, on the left side they grow downward, creating a lopsided look from behind.

It will be less important when the rest is long enough for a ponytail tied at the base of the neck, instead of a couple inches above the hairline, as it is now. But the downy hairs are so short (2" at the most) it seems they'd grow out again by then anyway.

If you did cut those hairs at some point, did you regret it?

Thanks,

First let me state that I was not asked to do this by the Stylist I am going to reccomend. In fact Ive been goin to this Stylist for 8 years.But because I believe he does such a great job evidence by the fact i have been going there 8 years.
Let me give you a short history. A buddy and myself first went to see Robert at "Longhair Specialist" Based o a radio spot we heard on KNAC
a radio station that had a large following in L.A. in the eary 90's
Back then he was known as "LongHair Rocks". And Robert had a lot of clients in the "Rock" industry.A group Vixen among others. Anyway Robert will have a initial consultation with you discuss how and what style want. He takes measurements of your hair and keeps a record of what he does everytime he cuts your hair on a card. Believe me he is worth the drive. I, live in Orange County and it's a 90 mile round trip for me. His rates are kinda high but he does a great job. Women compliment me all the time. It's your hair if you want to go to that cheap salon in your nieghborhood or spend a few bucks and drive a few miles and get it done right it's up to you. Of course he does Women and you should see the babes that walk in there. Anyway he is located in Pasadena on Colorado I, dont think im allowed to give the # but his name is Robert Reichligh I, might have spelled it wrong if you e-mail me ill give you the phone #
Again i am doing this on my own And as a favor to anyone that wants the info...Garry
onenote if you go during the Tue.Wed. Thur. he has these asian women(nothing to look at) who wash your hair and the massage your scalp well worth the trip the lady who is there friday and sat not as good. He had one girl there that was so good I made arrangements for a full body massage. It was great but lost contact with her

Well, I finally got a digital camera, so my pictures are available on the web! There are only three posted right now, with more to come, but please feel free to visit. I'll post here about any more pictures I put there later.

Thanks,
Matt

I've got shoulder length VERY thick dark brown wavy hair. I love to mess around with it by putting henna in it and trying new things. The salon I go to now does OK but the last time I went in we decided to do a highlight - I wanted some natural reds and browns added in and ended up with blonde streaks! EEEH GADS! She toned it down with some semi permanent but I don't think I want to go back.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where a man can go and get the same kind of pampering for his long hair that a woman can get in the San Francisco Bay area? My hair is mostly one lenght right now and I'd like to try a new style but I'm not sure what to try. I love the thought of a bob with bangs but I know it wouldn't look as good as I fantasize because my wavy hair tends to fro out and I need to look professional during the day?

Help! Any suggestions?

Recently I recieved email from a person claiming to be a physician, saying that long hair causes baldness. I'm skeptical, and I'm wondering if any of you have any comments:

He said:

...I noticed in the photos of your hair that you are balding at the front...[Balding] happens at a MUCH faster rate when your hair is long and even faster when it's pulled into a ponytail...When my hair started to come out in front...I...got it buzzed...I had been growing it for almost ten years...my hairline started to fill in again almost immediately. I no longer have the recessions or thinness in front...

I replied:

...I suspect your experience may have been more coincidental than universal. But even if you are correct, I'd rather lose hair in front and have the rest long, then cut it short...

His reply:

My experience...certainly is not coincidental. I am a physician
and a big portion of my practice relates to hair loss and it's
prevention, so I have a bit of knowledge about it. Before prescribing Rogaine or Propecia, I always evaluate physical causes of hair loss in men. The most common ones are long hair tied back or medium length hair that is "slicked" back with gel, grease, etc. Both of these create tremndous tension on the hair follicles--both pulling the hair and in the opposite direction (back) from which it grows (forward). I have found that more than half will experience re-growth of lost hair when they cut their hair and/or quit slicking it back. On another 25% or so, they seem to have the loss arrested.

Any thoughts about his claims?

FWIW, I was balding long before I started growing it out, and the balding process hasn't seemed to accelerate with longer hair length.

Thanks,

my g/f is always molesting my hair, pulling on it, and getting it tangled... i'm afriad she's pulling all my hair out, or that my hair is breaking or something. i usually find about 5-10 hairs from my head on my body after i wash my hair... could they be from her tugging on it? or do they just naturally fall out? i have thinner flat hair..

I've got shoulder length VERY thick dark brown wavy hair. I love to mess around with it by putting henna in it and trying new things.

This is to all the men with long hair,
I am a poet...I write dark poetry mostly...it is one of my biggest weaknesses...but more of a weakness is a beautiful man with long hair...long all over...no short bangs and long hair in the back...long all the way around...past the shoulders...this is the most beautiful thing in the world to me...I have photographed many men with long hair...if I had a scanner, I would post some of them...I, myself, have very long hair...almost to my waist...straight...black...shiny...very healthy...men find it to be a turn on...but I find it a turn on to have a man with long hair...it is not so much a fetish for me...but it takes my breath away...every man that I have ever found to be beautiful has had long hair...my last two boyfriends had long hair...there is just some kind of beauty in a man with long hair that there is not in a man with short hair...they turn out to have better personalities...and they are always wild...
If you are a man with long hair, post a message here for me...I will respond to it...I am 19 years old...I am working at the moment...university again in the fall in Scotland...soon to be published as a poet...and if you want to know exactly what I look like, you will have to post a message for me...at least let me know how long your hair is, what colour it is and what your interests are...I am not some crazy, desperate chick looking for a man...I can get a man if I want one...but a beautiful man with long hair is hard to find where I am...please drop me a line...I suppose it would be impossible to get a nice looking man with long hair that is also in the army...just joking...

Hi my name is garry i live in orange county calif. i would like to meet a lady who loves men with longhair. Im 40 but looks 27(can send you a pic to prove it. 6'3" 185# d/d free. Have many interest. We can chat first see where we go from there. I dont mind ladies who are plump. but no bbw's

I'd really like to grow my hair long. I haven't due to hearing little stories of long hair speeding up balding. Is this true? I've only managed to get my hair chin length before this really got to me. I can't grow my hair without this naggin at me.

I have a question for my fellow men that I also posted to the women's board. How do you handle your hair when you sleep at night? I leave it loose, because I tried leaving the pony tail in and it makes that "knob" at the back of my neck and I can't sleep very well. I figured tying it back would keep it from tangling at night, but I just went with loose.

My ponytail is over 18 inches long. I'm very proud of it and I wouldn't change it for anything. I am a Ph.D and work for a very high powered company and they don't have a problem with it. I LOVE long hair on men. I think that men who make fun of it or deride it are those that are jealous or afraid to try letting it all "hang down".
HAVE A NICE DAY ;)

IF THERE ARE ANY GUYS WHO WANT A REALSHORT HAIRCUT I DO FREE CUTS VERY SHORT!!!! INTERESTED -EMAIL SOON

Hello all,

I have 28" hair (avg) which has natural pipe curls. I have been growing it for about 10 years now and am getting bored with it. Plus I live in Phoenix and it is extrememly hot when riding a mountain bike ;-) I also notice that a lot of women are scared off by the hair. I am a professional with a good career, but still.... you know the stereotype.

Does anyone know if I can sell this stuff? I want to cut it this weekend but would like to get some cash for it if possible.

Thanks,
Jeff

If this message appears more than once, I'm sorry I'm having trouble with my P.C. To answer your question, Richard, I have seen some men with long hair where in my opinion, it doesn't look attractive. But then again, that's my opinion. My ex-husband tried to grow his hair beyond his shoulders and it appeared very "stringy" and no matter how much he combed it, it made him look "scraggy and unkept." He hated it. When he cut it back to his collar-line it appeared "thicker" and I found it a lot more attractive on him. He thought so as well. Short hair doesn't suit me. I cut my hair off before I had my daughter and I thought I looked awful and I felt awful to. My friends said I had the "mommie" look, which made me cringe. Now it has grown back down towards my waist and I feel my "normal" gypsy self.

I feel that everyone has a look that is all their own and most of the fun is exploring to find out what makes you feel your best. Everyone is free to do and appear anyway they wish and I respect people for that and support them, whether it looks good in my opinion or not. They are the masters of their destiny.

Peace to you.

What is it exactly that you recommend about long hair?

Here's a good article I just ran across. It's intended for women, but it answers many of the types of questions I see on this board:

Redbook: 6 Secrets to Long Hair That Looks Good

I found them tonight. They look great. Now I can take a photo of a man with me to the salon when I want to show them how I want my hair.

The Hair Boutique webmasters are promising to add over 100 male photos over the next few months. They currently have short and 1 very long and promise to add lots of medium and long in the future. Check it out.

Can you email me please Dawn.

My significant other has very dry hair. His hair is mid back and tends to be on the wavy side. About a year ago he dyed is hair, which was a big mistake and this is what we believe to be causing the dryness...Anyone have any idea's?

I came upon this site by accident, but I'm glad I did. Unfortunately, I haven't the time to read all of the messages, but I'd just like to say that as a woman (and a long hair myself), I love long hair on men. I do say, however, that long hair does not suit some men, yet I love it and always will. To hell with the 90s, I have always had my own style about me and I'm glad that all you guys out there are doing your thing. If you love it, then keep it long! I'm all for you. Trust me, there are plenty of women who feel the way I do. I'll be glad when more men wear their hair long again.

I am curious about something. I have been letting my hair grow since February (from an ultra short cut) and I now have a 5-1/2" ponytail by tying it up a little higher than normal.... (My hair grows ultra fast.) But lately, it seems as if I have hit a wall and I have not noticed a great deal of growth as I did at first. Is this common? I know it is still growing, but it does not seem as prominent as it was for a while? Any comments?

Bill B.

Dawn, would you please e-mail me? Thanks

My hair is almost shoulder length and I've grow it for almost two years now. It should've been longer except for the fact that six months into my growth period, a ruthless barber "trimmed" off a LOT of my hair off. Therefore, I refuse to go to the man's barbershop again.

But now, even though I can have a good-lengthed ponytail. There is a slight aberration> The front of my hair is somewhat longer than the rest of my hair, so I can never let my hair down without it looking kind of funny. Actually, when I let my hair down, it just looks weird.

I want to go to a salon to have a decent trim that'll look good when I let my hair down ( the front hair slightly shorter than the rest of my hair, and rest of my hair looking kind of layered) I mean, I don't quite know what I want, but there's another issue.

I want to dye my hair to a different color, just strands of it or whatever, I'm pretty relaxed about what I want, I want the hear the advice of others. SO how much will all of this cost?

Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know about these, but I just found some great elastic hair bands yesterday that don't look feminine. The brand is "Claire's", and I found them in a couple of women's accessories shops. They are *much* better than the Goody brand elastic bands you find in grocery & drug stores.

They weren't expensive -- $2.50 for packs of 6.

Click the link below to see more pictures of them. Unfortunately, my cheap digital camera doesn't really do them justice.

You can locate the nearest Claire's or The Icing at http://www.claires.com/locate/index.html.

Hi all. I've been visiting this site for some time, but this is my first post. I admire all you guys that have long hair. It takes a lot of guts to have long hair in today's society. I've had a desire to have long hair since I was a kid. I was brought up in a very conservative home, and have a very conservative group of friends. I have let my hair grow out three different times. Each time I bowed to pressure from family and friends and cut it. I just felt out of place with my family and friends, none of whom have long hair. It had gotten long enough to tie it back in a short pony tail. I had my wife french braid it also. That is the most appealing thing about long hair to me, doing different things with it. I think if I had the guts to grow it out, I would get crazy with different styles. It would be so much fun. Please don't try and talk me into growing it out again. I don't think I'll try it again. I would just get it going, then probably cut it. Sorry, I just don't think I want to go through the excitement and letdown again. Anyway, this site is great, you guys are my heroes, and I'll keep coming here to read and view the pics. I love to see pics of "feminine" styles on men (no, I'm not gay or bi, very straight.) Keep up the good work, men. Others are watching with interest.

I am a doctor living in Italy, I should like to wear long hair, but I am afraid this might causeproblems with my patients and my collegues.
What do you think about?

Just a little bit of encouragement for you longhairs and future longhairs!

A few weeks ago, my daughter and I just returned from a one-week drumming and dance retreat in Maui and as I think about it, 60% of the men who participated had long hair. It was great. There was long, straight hair; wavy hair; frizzy-curly hair. These men wore there hair in a variety of styles from just a simple ponytail, to braids and one guy who had thick blond hair wore his "samurai" style up in a knot. We drove through the town of Paia where I don't remember seeing anyone with hair above their shoulders (other than tourists). It was nice to witness. I will be back next year.

Hi all....Im a 30 yr old male who had long hair at the back...and short sides and
top.....I decided to grow it out,but didnt like the big difference in the length,while
this was happening.....ie ......halfway down my back...but only down to my ears at
the side.Anyway.....I started to wear a baseball cap everyday.....waiting for the sides
to grow longer.While this was happening,I cut the back to just below my armpits.I'm
at the point now where its pretty even...BUT!!! I noticed that my hair .....which is
fine anyway...seems to be thinner around my temples....and its happened whilst
wearing the cap.I wore it all summer and it got quite hot in there...actually I prob
wore it for at least one year..... What I want to know is????can wearing a cap all
day...everyday....well,I did take it off once I got home from work,but I wore it at
least 8 hrs a day...can it damage your hair......some people say it would,some say it
wouldnt.I no longer wear a hat,well not like I used to....I do have quite a high
hairline natually,but with parted hair you cant tell....it just seems thinner. or am I just
getting older damn it........Any advise would be great.....OH...also....is silica good for
you hair????

have a great day........

I need some contributions about hair extensions?

How expensive?

All,

I'm thinking of getting a new business suit and have toyed with the idea of getting one that is burgundy in color. The main reason I would choose this color is that I really like the way my hair looks against burgundy. I don't even know if suits are available in this color. What do you think? Would you recommend another color?

there's a new chat room created for all you who have mIRC... on (us) dalnet, it's called #longhair. it's fairly new, so there's not much activity at this point- but with time & participation it can grow.
the intent is to provide a (somewhat) real-time discussion forum for longhairs & interested ladies/prospective partners. any topic can be discussed with the obvious emphasis on issues dealing with long hair on men.

hope to see you there!

I have had a site on long hair styles for men (see link below) for almost a year now and the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Does anyone know if a study has recently been done on peoples attitude towards this subject?

The comments and e-mail that I have received suggests to me that it is time for society to take the blinders off and recognize the fact that both men and women prefer men to wear long hair. Overall comments at my site were 3 to 1 in favor of it. Women prefered long haired men by a 2 to 1 margin. Men on the other hand supported the idea by a 5 to 1 ratio.

While this is not a scientific study, I do think that it represents a major change in the way that people view men with long hair and it is about time that society recognizes this fact.

Long Hair-Styles... For Men

I wanted to put my hair into a ponytail the other day because it was so hot but didn't have an elastic with me. A girl friend of mine said I could use one of her large clips. I was a bit sceptical at first, but she talked me into it. It actually felt quite nice and smoothed out the tail and made it much wider. I actually went out with it like that in the end and got no adverse comments. Have any others used these sorts of clips.

By the way - she never got hers back :-)

FINALLY! I've put up a new gallery page. No doubt some of the pictures will look familiar to you. I decided to stop wasting time trying to eliminate duplicates and just put the pictures up. I will continue to add more gallery pictures regularly until I run out of pictures.

I just noticed the old galleries are not on the site. I am restoring them as I have time. If anybody notices something else that is missing, please let me know.

Is their anything I can do to help my hair grow faster???

Long hair and in a kilt. In the May 16-22 TV Guide, pages 20-22, there is an article about "Highlander", the syndicated tv show. There is a great full-page picture of the handsome star, Adrian Paul, who plays Duncan MacLeod, seated, wearing his Great Kilt, with beautiful long black curly hair. The tv series is over, but he will be making a feature film of "Highlander" this fall.

I wore my hair short(usually buzz cuts)for many years.I let my hair grow about 2 years ago and I recently went to a dinner at a relative's house wearing my hair down(I usually wear it in a ponytail).I saw some relatives who were really shocked to see me with my shoulder length hair.My grandmother keeps saying,"When are you going to get your hair cut?"and I say that I like it long.I just get so sick of my grandma,aunts,uncles,etc constantly telling me to cut it. Have any of you guys had similar experiences with relatives?

WellI had some help in making a scan of the picture of my boy's birthday spiral perm. Hope it comes through OK.

The hairdresser did not set the hair after perming but toucched it up with a curling wand.

I've been growing my hair out for about a year and1/2. And it's getting near to shoulder length. I can put my hair in a ponytail comfortably and I'm discovering all sorts of little great things about having long hair. Like..

It feels good when you wake up, or go to bed. Having all that hair when you sleep.
It makes your face seem longer, and thinner.

Lately, I've been trying to braid my hair. (unfortunately, it's still way too short to do it. Do you guys know how much longer it'd take to braid your hair. And don't you guys wonder how other guys can just do a "braid" It's just not as easy as it'd seem. As a man you're never taught this crap.. So how'd you guys learned to braid?

What type of hair, in your experiences, do long haired men's girlfriends/wives tend to have?

I am considering highlighting/painting/frosting. My hair is mixed gray/dark brown. Length is about 4" on tob and 2 1/2 on the sides. I don't want to be dramatic. My hairdresser suggests painting. Please advise whether foil, cap or painting is best and can I go gradual? Any other hints for frosting? Thank you. When I get it set I like the pixie.

Is there a strong correlation between men who have long hair also having beards? I dont wear any facial hair, but almost every guy I know who has long hair also has a moustache, goatee or beard. Is there a reason for that?

My hair is now reaching my elbows. I got it trimmed a few inches below my shoulders last year. I haven't had it cut since then. Now the ends are getting pointy and jagged. Should I get a trim again or just forget it? I currently like the length, but I'm concerned about the split ends. And does a straight, even length make it look unnatural?

I remember reading this one book about persuasion. In one chapter, an old 60's or 70's talk show host, who was rather conservative, and who had a wooden prostetic leg, had Frank Zappa as a guest. The host said something like "So, does your long hair make you a girl?" Frank replied, "Does your wooden leg make you a table?". I'll remember that quote forever. Frank Zappa; what a genius of his time!

Ancient longhaired proverb #1: "I disagree with the term 'clean-cut'; cutness does not at all make a person clean; rather, taking a shower will".

Is it just my imagination, or is long hair more common among shorter-than-average men than among taller-than-average men? I'm 6' and have been growing my hair for 1.5 years, and suddenly a few days ago I realized that most long-haired men I know and see are of average height and shorter. Coincidence?

I guess the reason I hadn't noticed is because there certainly are tall longhairs. But it seems longhairs are disproportionately represented among shorter men, less well represented among taller men. Am I wrong? Or maybe this situation is peculiar to my area (Seattle)?

Thanks,

Re: Tips for Growing Long Hair

What is this fascination women have with coloring hair? I can't figure it out. They say they want nice hair, silky, shiny, manageable, and then they go and destroy it with chemicals. Even perms are damaging, but sometimes necessary for a specific look, I guess. (I would love to see pics of Alana's son's perm, for instance.) And from what I read, long hair is anything that can cover the ears... what is traditionally considered "medium-length" hair at best. I don't think "long" hair is really achieved until you can make a heidi-type braid set and have the ends reach the opposite ears. (I can't think of a better measure right now, sorry.) For guys it's usually considered long where ladies' hair is medium, but that article seemed commercially driven. "Be willing to color"?!?!? What's that got to do with long hair? Talk about something guaranteed to make you cut it at some point! (Like when that natural color thing sounds good again!)

Sorry to rant... Keep it long and chemical-free.
Thanks for posting the URL anyway, Al... There were some good points in the article, too. It's just the bad ones we're singling out here.

Is there anyway to contact Dawn through e-mail?

Hi there!
I have just given my son a 13th birthday treat of a spiral perm. His hair has been growing for the past seven or so years after the couple of times he went to a men's barber and he (and I) hated the haircuts he gotten. The perm looks lovely and he is really pleased. His hair looks shorter now because of the perm but we both love the look. Actually, my sister and I have been curling and setting his hair since he was three years. He loves the attention and how his hair looks like Mom's and sister Jean's. We waved it with wave clips and pincurls at first as it grew. This old 30's look was well done by sister Jean on his hair. Then, as he got to ten or so, with the extra length we were able to have it styled at the beauty shop. He loved going there (still does) and we started going there about once every five weeks or so for a `double do' session and a trim. The stylist was very encouraging. In between Jean and I always set his hair each week in a softer style that he can wear at school. No one ever thinks that his hair is anything but natural. He is brave enough after the birthday perm to go back to school after holidays with this new look. Do you think there is anything wrong in my encouraging him to have his hair styled in feminine ways? He loves it, we love it and perhaps that is all that matters. Have a great photograph the stylist took of his spiral perm but don't know how to post it with this message. Have a great day from, Alana.

I need your support to through the summer with my "long hair". This year is
a unseasonable hot and humid summer in Detroit. Average day high is
95 with 90% humidity. You know how difficult it is with long hair. If you tie hair,
it is too heavy and scalp is always wet. If you let hair down, it likes wear a
sweater. Many of you have long hair for many years, I believe you should have more
experience to through the hot summer. I really hate to cut it off, which is very
shining and silky. Please help. Thanks.

Thanks to Bill, I was able to put up the old board. He emailed me the most recent version he had on his system. I modified it to include one message that was missing as well as one new message. Additionally, the 5 most recent messages that were saved under numbers that were too low were renamed.

Here's a self-portrait I took to use up my film and to post to the long beard message board. It was taken yesterday. I'm going to have to fiddle with the angle and the lighting. It's kind of hard to do when you're both the model and the photographer.

Larger version of picture

I read the article and disagree with just about everything there. It appears to me to be a site promoting short hair disguised as one promoting long hair.

Now that summer's approaching in the Northern Hemisphere, I have three
choices to keep from melting from the summer heat: 1) cut my hair a
lot shorter; 2) keep on running my fan, air conditioning and
electricity bill; or 3) use a hair accessory that keeps my hair off my
back.

I was wondering if there is a hair accessory that will keep my hair
off my back without pulling hair off my scalp and without looking too
feminine. A large hairclaw is ideal, except it looks too feminine. A
ponytail or braid doesn't keep my hair off my back, and they "pull"
too much.

Well, after getting to this page from the Women's site, I must say, I have truly found my tribe! I am a college senior (as of next semester) and have nearly mid-back hair. I think my mother secretly hates it, but knows she'll get an earful if she gives me any grief. I keep hearing all these horror stories about bad jobs and such, and will say now that I officially ban Blockbuster! I had no idea this was going on, otherwise I would've never rented "Liar Liar" from them! I myself vow to survive, despite the "real-world" warnings my mother keeps giving me. One good place that I have found is Kinko's (belive it or not). There's one guy in there who wears a dark, wavy ponytail and no one gives him any flack. I suppose, since I'm a graphic design major, I should try there (have to make a resume first). I must say I am very inspired and incouraged by the men who's hair-stories I've read. Many times, I've felt kind of "alone" and like I didn't fit in, wishing I was born an Indian or a woman. I'm running out of room;

Hi. I am getting my hair cut next week and I am looking for suggestions for a pretty feminine style. Right now my hair is cut at one length at the bottom of my ears with bangs to my brows. I have thought about maybe getting some subtle layers added. What do you think? All suggestions are welcome.

I'm looking for a feminine cut that I can make look a bit masculine when i go to work.
Thanks,
Tim

Hello
I updated my site again!!!!

A year ago I cut all my hair off to find a job following college graduation. It worked, but I cannot stand having short hair. I have decided to grow it all long again,anticipating about a year before I can finally pull it back in a pony-tail. I would like to
know if there are any particular vitamins/minerals or hair products that will speed up the growing process. Any information would be greatly appreciated. (feel free to email me)
Thanks, John

Thought I'd share a post taken from the internet infidels open discussion forum. Right on Hazel!! I included a link to the original post.

I read in the Wall Street Journal today that the Federal appeals court in Atlanta, rejected a case concerning four
men who were fired for having long hair. The Judges followed a tradition of saying that bans on long hair for men
only, were not a violation of men’s civil rights. These guys were working for
Blockbuster. What about long hair would dissuade someone from renting a video.

Why do businesses make rules about things that really don’t matter. I have a store of my own and although I
don’t have any employees I do have a dress code for myself. I need to convey a sense of confidence,
cleanliness and intelligence. I’m a custom picture framer and I deal with many pictures that
are irreplaceable. These three qualities are necessary to give my customers a sense of security. I can’t
conceive of how a man’s hair length would influence that.

This reminds me of a woman who was fired from an airline for not wearing any makeup. I haven’t worn make up
in the last seven years. Does that make my MBA null and void. Or the four years I’ve spent framing disappear.
Or the respect I get from my co-workers at my part time job a myth. People trust me because I do a good job.
There isn’t anyone alive who can convince me that I’m a less valuable employee or worker because I don’t put
rouge on my cheeks and waste time applying eyeliner. I wish businesses were more interested in the caliber of
work rather than incidentals.

Sometimes I feel like the only one left in the world with any common sense. ( I know it’s not true.) I’d rather work
with a man with tattoos and hair to the ground, who showed up on time, was polite and respectful. Than half of
the bozos with short hair and neckties that I have had the misfortune to meet, let
alone work for. Respectability and respectfulness are not found in some arbitrary outward appearance, it is a
fundamental part of person’s character. One I wish more people had. That’s, one of the reasons, why I like being
an atheist. I am responsible for my own ethics. I’m not just going along with some rules dictated by another to
avoid later retribution. I show up for work and do my best out of respect for my customers and co-workers.
Because I value them as individuals outside of myself. Because that is the kind of world I would
like to live in.

Infidels Discussion Forum: Topic is open

My hair is 8 inches pass my waist ( I’m 5’10’’). My hair is soft and straight.
I used to have a lot of hair, (two very thick braids). By, step-by-step, I am losing my
hair. Now, my hair looks too thin for even one braid. Someone suggests me to have
a perm, which will make my hair look fuller. I worry about it may damage my hair
such that I have to cut it later. Otherwise, I may need to try a bun, perhaps a braided bun,
it may hide my thinner hair. Any advices? I need support to maintain my hair long for
next 5 to 10 years (I have it for last 8 years). I believe the thinner long hair is still
better than without it at all. Thanks

Maybe you haven't noticed but more and more corporations are dictating how their employees are going to live their lives and this is just fine with the federal judiciary!

The only cure for this is to vote for people like Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan. This may seem like I'm contradicting myself but they have two things in common:

1. A belief in the Constitution of the United States

2. A belief in the right of the people to govern themselves

In November you will be able to speak your mind on this subject. I don't care whether you vote left or right but vote for candidates that support the Constitution!!!!

Over the course of seven years, even with trim, it has to be pretty long. Does the hair need to be that long for a spiral perm. Another thing, kids can be cruel, so if he is brave enough to withstand the taunts of other children then everything should be fine. I remember one person that was in my class. He was taunted all the time for having long, (only about shoulder length), basically called a girl. It took a very short time before he had it cut to a severe short length. If that is the case with your son are you prepared for a similar senario? Hopefully this would never happen because it sounds like your son has lovily hair.

Please bear with me. I've never done a site transfer before. I think the board is really ready this time.

Because of moving hosts, I am requesting a temporary moratorium. Please do not post further messages to this board until the transfer is complete. I will not be moving this message, so you will know then the moratorium is lifted by the absence of this message.

Thanks.

whatever you did worked... or the problem spontaneously self-corrected. thanks for your attention to the upload problem

All,

I have signed up with a new host. The new host offers about 17 times the disk space, and a faster connection to the internet for the same price that I'm paying now. It will take me a while to transfer the site over. At some point, I will turn off posting capabilities here until the move is complete, at which time you will post to the new site. Meanwhile, a temporary list is provided here (do not bookmark it). Feel free to browse around and let me know if it's generally faster/slower/the same for you.

You will see an old version of the message board. Don't let that fool you. You will not be able to post. However, you should get a general idea of how fast browsing through the messages will eventually be.

Once the move is complete, all URLs will remain the same as they are now. You will not need to change any bookmarks.

My hair is almost to the end of my back and very I start to feel the weight of
my long hair. On work, I tie my hair to a ponytail and it makes the situation even
worse. I just feel it likes someone is dragging my hair all the time. I have to let my
Hair down as soon as I am out of the office. It is a bit painful experience.
But I can’t think to cut my hair which I has maintained it for last five years.
Everyone, including my wife, likes my hair so much. They told me that there
Are no men and even woman around can dream they can have my hair’s quantity
And quality. I need help to deal with the weight. But no matter what, I won’t cut
My hair. Please give me support. Thanks.

Hey guys,
I'm not suggesting you cut it but if you've come to the decision on your own or have to for some reason, I'll make an offer to buy it. You don't have to live near me. I've bought ponytails from 7 guys and complete heads of hair from several too(they buzzed it down to 1 inch). I pay more for before and after photos or videos of the haircut in progress too. Let me hear from you: crewcut4u@aol.com

My long hair just passed the end of my back. When each time I got it trimmed,
the hair dresser always ask me to trim it one length or layered. Since I have no ideas
about the layers, I always choose the “one length”. But I am a little tired always have
one straight length on my back. Do you have any suggestions?

My wifes best friend is a barber hairstylist that cuts my hair monthly. About six months ago, I begain letting my hair grow longer. Currently, it is about chin lenth. Yesterday, My wife and her friend talked me into a perm. They said it would add body to my hair and keep it from getting oily so fast. I let them do the perm this afternoon...big mistake. It is far too curly for me to go out in public. I have washed it twice and used the blowdryer. I need help. I need to go to work tomorrow and I do not want to face any Shirley Temple jokes. My wife and her friend are out for the evening and can't help. Any suggestions....please!!

Hi, I have Italian/Sicilian hair and am desperately in need of advise on relaxing it. In the past I have simply used perm solution, combing it straight for 20 minutes, then neutralizing. The problem is that this seems to dry out and damage the hair and also the process seems to partially reverse after time. It is still pretty dried out and damaged looking from a straight perm I did 6 months ago.

I have not tried the relaxing creams marketed to the african-american population as I have heard you have to be very precise with the timing or end up bald and with scalp burns!

I would like to leave in some wave, but remove about 3/4 of the curliness.

Any specific product suggestions (if so where to get them -the local beauty supplies only stock perms) or other adivise?

Please email if possible: Toponder@bigfoot.com

Thanks very much for any advise.

Jeff

My hair is very dry. I've tried all sorts of conditioners and hot oil treatments, but has worked. What should I do?

You all know of the length of my hair!
But I'll going soon to cut it! (No! Not short but midback length!)
Because I suffered an accident: My hair was entangling my legs while running to the bus and I fell down to the sidewalk! And this happened while wearing a pair of trousers. (Normally I wear dresses, caftans and skirts!) From this fall on the sidewalk I damaged my knees and after that I must wear leg-splints for supporting my knees. :(

The morale of this story: Do not wear trousers while wearing ultralong hair!

At long last I've finally been able to finish my research and put together a page on the House of David. If you saw the preview, you will need to check it out again. There is more information and more pictures.

House of David Samson Page

Just added: a search feature. Currently it searches my entire site, not just this board.

Thank you all for participating in my informal poll on buying/selling hair. It seems you all are nearly unanimous in your tolerance for hair buyers. Reading all the posts, both here and via email, and re-examining my own thoughts, I have come to what I think is a very good compromise. No wait a minute. How could it be a compromise if everyone is for the posts here. Anyway, here is what I've decided. While posts regarding buying/selling long hair are not necessarily at odds with the intent of this site, they could be. Furthermore, it is a subject that flirts too closely with commercialism, something I've always tried to avoid on the board. Nevertheless, I do see a value to the posts and therefore, I'm taking this opportunity to announce the creating of a new hair board.

I've just created a message board specifically for buying/selling hair. As of this writing it's only minutes old, but I expect it will be used regularly. Because of the somewhat different nature of the material, purging guidelines will be different there. I will purge posts by request for misposts, blatantly offensive posts, and old posts based only on date.

If you have an outstanding buy/sell post on this board that you wish to keep posted for a while, please move it to the other board. I will be purging them the first Saturday of June from here.

Any questions/comments/gripes, please address on the other board or directly to me via e-mail. This is all very new, and I expect to do some work this weekend on all my sites to get things up-to-date and running better.

Buy/Sell Hair

Hi everyone!
I dont want to use this message board as my personal hair page update tool, but a lot of you have been asking when I will update my page. Well, I finally did. 2 Spankin new pics, and a little update on my current status. Thanks for all the interest!

I m presently trying to get pix of men with hairstyles that are short on the top and sides but long..really long a the back. anyone could direct me to a site with nice pix?

Thanks.

To the number of people who have posted in recent says regarding the need to sell their hair, please bear in mind that there is more than one hair buyer online. Please feel free to contact me as well regarding the sale of your hair. I am very competitive and trustworthy.

My wife and I came into a rather large sum of money a few weeks ago, and were able to buy a few toys with it after paying off bills. One of the more important toys was a new computer. In addition the computer, however, we were able to buy our very own SCANNER! So, without further adue, I'd like to share with everyone a few pics we had taken at our wedding rehearsal(sp?). These were taken 3 1/2 years, when my hair was quite a bit shorter than it is now. Enjoy!

I just got a new job and in order to complete my hiring I MUST get a haircut. :( Anyway...I'm looking into selling my long dark blond hair with light highlights. I'm in the San Diego area so if anyone out there happens to know where I should go or what to do PLEASE let me know. I've never done anything like this before so I'm lost and I don't have very long to wait so please, if you can help lemme know. Thank you very much. :)

I'm a 16 year old girl from Australia, and I think long hair on guys absolutely rocks! I love watching shows with long haired guys like Renegade and Hercules. Other shows that anybody overseas might not have seen with guys with long hair is Neighbours and Home and Away. Check out Ryan Maloney's do! (Protest! The producers are trying to make him cut it!) Or Nic Testoni. Ben Unwin's was cool until the producers made him cut it.

I'm investigating browser accelerators that work will with message boards. Currently I'm looking at NetSonic because it's freeware. It does seem to have some problems, although it works most of the time. Feel free to try it out. If you use another accelerator that you are happy with, let me know what it is so I can try it out. After reviewing a few, I think I'll choose one and post a link to it in the FAQ.

The main advantage to having one of these accelerators is that it will download all the links to a current page in the background so that it is already in your cache when you click on it. This makes the followup messages appear to load instantly much of the time.

Normally my policy for cleaning up the board is to remove entire threads whose most recent message is older than a certain date, that date determined by what will be necessary to bring the board size down to 64K or less. However, recently, the board became corrupted, so several more recent messages were deleted. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

If you posted a message recently and it no longer appears, feel free to repost it.

Hey fellers
I grew my hair out from a buzzed head exactly one year ago. I have NOT had a trim yet. I think it's getting time. I have a widows peak, so the long hair in front is kind of a "v" shape. It looks pretty bad. Im thinking about cutting the hair all the same length to make it look better. I realize this will reduce the amount of hair, increase growing out time, etc. Im just curious at what length would you recommend getting it trimmed. Its about 8 inches right now.
Ive thought about waiting until I can pull it back into a tail, but it's pretty ratty, especially since I have fine, uncontrollably wavy hair.
Thanks

Long hair only looks good on some men.

Such as

Looks Good
Fabio
Yanni
Garret Maggart (Sentinel: plays Blair Sandburg)

Looks Horrible
Joseph Gordon Levitt (from 3rd rock: plays Tommy)
Hanson
Almost all professional wrestlers
Kevin Sorbo

I personally hate long hair on men and wish all of these people would cut there hair, especially Hanson and Garret Maggart

I expect alot of respons, but try to be civilized. No death threats or voodoo curses please!

i currently have a short hair style simply because i dont have the patience to let it grow long. my hair grows extremely slowly and i could never get past the aweful"in-between stage." i want a hair style that will minimize the appearance of having a big head and also emphasize the broadness of my sholders. so far having my hair really short and slicked down is the best alternative to having the long hair that i suspect would be the best. do you have any tips on what could make my hair grow faster or advice on whether or not long hair emphasizes broad shoulders and its really worth the bad growing in phase? thanks much

I'm a college Sophomore and I'm sick and tire of my parents telling me to cut my hair. I've grown it for 2 years now and it's couple of inches past my shoulders.

I don't even live with my parents anymore but whenever I talk to them on the phone they always ask me to cut it. When I come home for the holidays I always feel very uncomfortable around them. (and all my relatives too)

SO what should I do? I'd really appreciate some stories from you guys
Thanks!

This is the best (both in content and quality) of the pics I've just posted. This is my now-and-beloved wife and I staring at just one of the sets of about 108 candles we had lit the next night (the wedding).
No marriage is perfect, but our's is definately up there. I love you honey.

In reading this message board and other articles, I know one of the secrets to keeping long hair looking good is to brush it often. I have extremely fine and extremely thick hair. I read everywhere about the importance of brushing the hair, but no advice is given on what kind of brush is appropriate for what type of hair. I have a boar's bristle brush, but my hair is so thick that it takes forever to get to the scalp with it and it feels like I am pulling (stretching) my hair. Anybody have any suggestions for me on this one? Being a newbie, I want to start out right! Any help would be appreciated.

Here are the latest! Enjoy! :)

My hair is currently just short of mid back.I have to have it cut
within the next few days.Do not ask the reason why!!
Where can i find lots and lots of pictures of mens hair styles to choose from.I do not want it too short like a buzzed cut,but maybe long on top(at least up to nape) and graduated from the back hair line.
Are there any pretty,young,male hairdressers out there in the U.K. (North London)
who can cut my hair in the nude?

This is me now, in my single most favorite type place to visit and just ponder my thoughts. My hair's gotten just slightly longer since these pics were taken (several months ago). I've got new pics being developed as I type this (My wife and I purchased a new Advantax camera), and my friend and I took a few shots of me. Be prepared for a bit of a surprise, though, as I've added a little something to my appearance in recent weeks - a goatee!

Here's another!
