  I've always been lazy about cutting my hair (I usually cut it really short) and am overdue a haircut by about 2 months, but I started toying with the idea of growing it long and have decided to give it a go. The only problem is that when my hair gets longish it sticks out at the sides. Is there any way to minimise the bush look without making it too obvious that you're trying to control it? How long does it need to be before it can be brought somewhat undercontrol? It's almost three inches at the sides and is about 3 and a half inches on top.

  Was having a look at the reasons why people decided to grow their hair long - my reason's a bit strange. I was thinking about how I would look with it long a couple of nights ago, but not really considering it (it was cause I was thinking about how much it needed cutting). That night I had a dream that I did have long hair - I could see it and feel it. It was weird but I really liked it, so I've decided to go ahead with it.

  It really depends on what type of hair you have..softness, straight-curly, thickness, oilyness..

  Asian hair is especially prone to that stickout problem, at the back and sides. I knew an Asian guy with relatively short hair that had to wear a hat every morning or his hair would stick up everywhere. So he had a "hat line" all day at school. I told him to quit whining and grow it out, it'll lay down. He didn't want to, said it would look stupid.
  Next year, hes growing his hair out, its 3-4 inches. Doesn't stick out anymore. "Told ya so."

  He used gel or mousse to control it for like 2 months, and then it would lay. Styling gunk works optimally on that kind of hair thought...if you aren't Asian or white with straight-blond or straight black hair, then that wont be nearly as effective. You know, the hair thats so straight that its an afro when its short, unless its soaking wet or full of gel or something.

    That's because Asian hair has a thick circular cross section, and can stick out straight.
