  I have been buzzing my hair very short for the past seven years, since it started to thin.

  I wouold love to grow myhair long again, but am afraid that it will look like crap. I have a slightly receeding hairline, and generally thin all over.

  Any comments?

    This is something I've wondered about from time to time. Last week, I thought about it again, since I ran into someone at the Elephant Room in Austin who has long, grey hair on a receding hair line. It looked very good on him, although I'm sure it's more likely to look very bad. I've not seen enough examples, though, to comment in an informed way.

    Hi Steve,

    I work with a 50-something man who is gray and mostly bald, with the remaining hair around the back & sides of his head down to about 2 feet or so below the nape. I think he looks fine, and I've never heard any negative comments.

    Go for it! After all, you can always change your mind and cut it short again if you don't like the effect.
