I was only trying to help.
I know how much your hair means to you and sometimes the issue can be a concern for some of you who are job seekers.
To make a long story short, we learn. If you stick a frog into a pot of boiling water, it'll instantly die. But if you give it time, it'll stay there. Long hair takes at least a year to grow (and we're not going to let that 1+ year go to waste, are we? =P), so we are going to make changes in that year. Maybe lose a girlfriend or two, make a couple enemies, get fired from a job because our hair is too long. But at the end, we learn what works and what doesn't. And we adapt. That's what we're proud of. Adapting to thrive in a world that doesn't usually support us.
