Hello everyone,
Been a while since I posted an update, but I am writing more out of the need for encouragement. I love having long hair. For whatever reason, it makes me very happy. But I am currently going through the "uglies." I see pics that make me think I am being a fool to grow my hair out. I have a high hairline and when its pulled back I fear I look ridiculous. I am also a professional actor, though I work (intentionally) less than I use to and the company I am with is wigging me for the current show. I suppose the whole wig thing is calling my own hair issues into the spotlight.
So please take a look at my current length and give your honest assessment. If I look ridiculous and you think it wise to throw in the towel, I want to hear it. I just fear I am being delusional and that what I think looks good in the mirror others are disparaging behind my back. And I know I shouldnt care, but I cant help it.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi Robert,
Thanks for the update.
Please don't fret you have an amazing head of hair and in such wonderful condition and you should be very proud of what you have achieved so far. Without a doubt I would say keep it growing and would not worry about a thing.
I hope that has put you as your ease.
Keep it growing and it would be a shame for a pair of scissor to come anywhere near that heaad head of hair.
Cheers,

dude why would you think that, your hairs awesome dude! Don't mind the negative comments from idiots man I just dont even bother talking back or I keep walking and act like they're not there at all! Im glad you stook with growing it out, because its looking better and better as it's getting longer on you and your showing great progress so keep it growing, trust me your a true long hair and it shows man...
I think it looks good. Your hair type and length don't appear to be much different from mine (yours is less curly and poofy, and an inch or two longer). If *you* look ridiculous with hair *I* want, I really need a hair cut. ;D
But seriously, you don't look ridiculous at all, and if you like it long, keep it that way. :)
Robert, that's not a high hairline at all.
Look at my avatar. My hairline is so high that I have fivehead rather than forehead. ;)
Hi Robert, you know we are our worst critics, and we see ourselves everyday in the mirror - its so easy to find fault. But believe me your hair is fantastic and it really suits you, we all have doubts now and then, but honestly, its great.
Cheers and stick around if you need any help and encouragement

I think it's fine. put a little oil in it. It always makes me feel better.
Over the years, you've managed to look great in any cut that you've had.
How is the law career going?
Your hair looks great! I've been having some of the same doubts as you recently myself but I know I'll get over it. I'd hate myself in the morning if I cut it. Besides... You're an actor and I think I just saw someone post on here that their career really took off since his long hair (and beard)
I say keep it! It looks great!

And keep it growing :-)
Hi Robert,
I honestly don't see what the problem is that you are complaining about as your hair looks long and perfectly healthy.If there's a high hairline I certainly can't see it.Based on that pic you posted all looks fine to me my friend:)Cheers

Hi,
If there was ever a contest for who has the "highest hairline", I'd win over you by a landslide!!! Trust me: you have NOTHING to worry about!
In fact, I have an unusual solution to your own self-image worries when you next look in the mirror: GROW a BEARD!!!!!!!! You want me to be honest about how I feel your picture looks, right? Well, here's my honest opinion of what I feel might improve your look: grow some facial hair!!! A beard & mustache I think would look hands-down AWESOME on you!!
'Nough said!

Your hair looks great on you Robert! Your head fits under your hair nicely.
It's true, we are our own worst critic. We never look as good as the other guy. Right now, you're the other guy. Wear your hair proudly!

Everyone is their own worst critic, just have a positve outlook and life is so much easier!
Just be whoever you want to be and don't care what others think about you. People who really like you don't matter how you look and the once that do or not worthy of your time.
Another suggestion since you've got longhair and an acting job, search for a role which requeres longhair. It's a shame to wear a wig with such nice hair so use it in your advantage.

It looks fine. If you'd like an opinion about how it looks tied back, you could post a pic of your hair tied that way, but from your first pic I don't see any reason it should be a problem. The only truly important thing is whether you like it.
I think your hair looks great. Don't take any notice of snide remarks, people are morons sometimes. Keep it growing man :)
The post with 'a' was from me. Apologies!
Hey, Robert. Are you nuts? My dear, your hair is looking great. It's beautiful, it suits with you perfectly, so if you need some encouragement from your pals from here, you'll have it. You're looking much better with your hair long. of course, you're already a handsome fellow, but with long hair is even more handsome. Keep it long. ;-)
