For 10 months I heard comments about my hair length. Now, everyone knows it is going to be long and not trimmed in the near future and all is quiet. Oh, yes, I get the odd ribbing but most people really love it. I am 53. Went to a party last weekend and this guy was there older than me, I think, and he had hair halfway down his back and he could take his hair and tie it in a knott. I didn't get to talk to him but it looks like he has had long hair for a very long time. Don't give up guys, it is well worth the trouble. What is neat is I cycle to work and shower and my hair is combed straight back. As the hair drys at work in the morning, it dries out to a full body of hair! What is the best part so far? Not putting shit in my hair. I put all sorts of "glue" in my hair for 11 months and
now I just wash, comb back wet behind the ears and wear it. That is truly the very best part. Prior to this I was a shaved head so again no shit in my hair.
It's now pretty much the same for me. Good, isn't it?! On 31 December, it will be 1 year exactly since I had my head shaved - and now I look like a totally different person. (For people who ask how long hair grows in a year, mine is around 7 inches now) My mop of hair still misbehaves (unless I let it get a little greasy/oily, which I like but I'm not sure other guys do) but it is ALMOST the end of the awkward stage for me - and that makes me a very happy bunny!
