I think just about everyone has now had their say about the maury show. And I don't want to necessarily continue on that line, but I thought you'd all be interested in a conversation I had the other night with a guy (in his 20s) who has waist-length hair (straight dark hair)that he wears pulled back in a ponytail. I think he's part Native American - he has that look. He's single and works full time as a Certified Nursing Assistant in a nursing home.
He said he watched that show and came away feeling sorry to those guys. He said that no matter what they may have said on TV, sooner or later they're going to start feeling sorry that they actually went through with it. He said that it might take a few days, but once they get back into their everyday world, they'll probably start missing their hair a whole lot.
He said he understands about the stares and stupid things some people say to guys with long hair, and he said that, sure, sometimes when it's really hot, the thought of cutting off his hair enters his mind. But that thought doesn't stay ther for long, because he knows that one stupid second can easily destroy what he's spent many years growing. And he said he loves his hair too much to really consider cutting it off.
He reminded me of what so many of you guys keep saying: If you want long hair, don't cut it. Use the two week rule: If the thought of cutting your hair enters your head, tell yourself that you'll give yourself two weeks to think it over. Believe me, by the next day, you'll be glad you did.
Nice post :-)
Oh he's absolutely right ! Those first few days and months must be sheer hell and scare me like mad even thinking about it. Never mind how much I love long hair (and believe me I really do !!!!) I think that this fact all on it's own is why I could never lose mine. So yet another good reason.... :-)
It's exactly how I feel too though the thought of cutting it has never entered my mind, and I seriously doubt it ever will heatwaves or not. And in a strange way I'm glad people briefly stare at my hair or occasionally say stupid things about it because all it does is simply reinforces and reminds me just how desperately important it is for me to have long hair. Also thinking back on it long after the incident's over I always seem to get really nice warm feelings and glows inside from my instinctive reactions. And I enjoy that a whole lot too :-)
Act in haste, repent at leisure....
