Well, I don't know if any of you folks do remember me but I've only posted a couple of times on here. One of the two being about whether or not I should indeed cut my long hair that I had been growing for a number of years. That being said, I just wanted to give an update and say that I did in fact go through with it. You heard me right, I cut off most of my hair to about a number 4 or so razor on the sides/back and the top blended in (a bit longer). And quite frankly, I'm loving it.
Most of my family and stuff told me how much better I looked and such (which I admit made me mad, cause they never supported me having long hair). Although my dad was nice enough to say he thought I looked nice both ways :) I don't think I look any better or worse really. I wore my hair back in a pony all the time so I look relatively the same. It was a shocker to most everyone though haha.
It's quite nice though being able to do things that I probably wouldn't have done had I kept the long hair. The weather is getting really nice this time of year in Arizona and I can actually drive my truck with the window open and not worry about having to spend 10min detangling my hair to make myself look presentable again. I only have to use a nickel sized amount of shampoo it feels so weird haha.
Anyway, just wanted to say a thanks and farewell. I have enjoyed reading this board and the support it has provided. I just don't think long hair was right for me. Peace
That's too bad that you're leaving the boards. But it's good that you're happy with your decision. I've learned after making my return today that atleast one person will remember who you are (or more) and this place will always welcome you to chat.
ps. I know you don't know me but I wanted to reply, lol. Good luck!
Hi Kevin,
I'm sure many members of this board (including me) cut their hair at least once before realizing that they are truly longhairs and growing it back (and enduring the awkward stage once again) for good. Whether that happens to you, only time will tell. Either way, best of luck in all your endeavors!
Hey , If you feel that cutting your hair was right, no problem. After all , it's your choice. You seem to be inordinately happy you've cut your hair. Perhaps , Your perspective on long hair has changed. We are only humans and have the right to change and make mistakes. Hopefully , One day you will grow your hair long once again. Till then , Farewell my dear friend , and may you have fortune and a trouble-free life.
Hey you know what man, that's great! I remember when I cut MY long hair off. Of course people are going to like it. In my case, more people than I thought DIDN'T approve, and was like "Where's the hair?".
I'm ready to have it back. I suspect for now you may not want it, but any true longhair will have it back before they know it.
Good luck.
